Basic grammatical rules concerning Vint
July 24, 2007 5:39 pm*rant warning*
They probably forgot to teach you this in high school, but take it as a truth anyhow:
When referring to Vint Falken, Second Life avatar, we use the feminine (weiblich, vrouwelijk, féminin, …) form of words.
Examples:
- Vint Falken, she is…
- Vint Falken, on her blog…
- Miss Falken…
- Vint, you cunt, why…
Told you so only two days ago. Now I do wonder, if I would replace the giant header with a picture of my female avatar here on my blog *points up* by a picture of a male avatar, would people finally start to realise I’m female? ^^
Ow, and some precautionous writing before Laetizia is going all language puritain on me and toasts me for using the word ‘gender’ to tag - I know that words have a gender and I have a sex - in stead of ’sex’: well, I don’t want to invite even more spam bots over. Hence referring to ‘the act’ I also often use the term SLex. ;)

I personally think it would help us all if the blue jeans on Vint were removed from the banner…. I seem to recall that top banner being much more exciting in the past….
*gets back up onto his chair after falling down laughing*
I really wonder what inspired the fourth example … did somebody actually call you a dick? ;)
Seconds a “Vint without blue jeans” banner
… and since SHE (better Vint?) seems to have changed race definitively, what about a banner with ears and tail ???
but if you want things to be written correctly (grammar AND orthography)… weiblich … (ch) … bitte shön :-)
schön … rofl
The same goes for Laetizia. Yes, the creator and controller of Laetizia is a man, but Laetizia is not a man. If little Vint ever played with Barbie dolls, her Kent doll did not turn into a ’she’ either.
Ken allways has been a kind of “she”, Laetizia… :-)
.. a bit like a noob male who first time takes of his pants, and gets the surprise of his lifetime..
Timonthy, that never happened to you? :p
And Veronique, you’re correct. I think I’m more used to typing English then German. :d It’s corrected now, thank you. As for the banner with ears and tails, yes, that’s on the to do list. Together with a remake of the blog layout and such. I’m better at creating to do lists then emptying them though.
After hearing your cute voice in your liquefy tutorial video, there could be no doubt that you are a she =)
Nadine smiles at Vint and wishes him a long continues stream of nice blog entries *giggle*
*Grrrrrrrr* @ Nadine.
*Prrrrrrrr* @ Tobie.
Dear Vint:
We are living in a sex, gender or whatever-you-want-to-call-it outing storm. I know you’re a girl, but, does it really matter? I mean you are free to be what you want to be, and everybody has to respect your option (or should do it).
Vint, you cunt, a big hug ;-P
