I Am Sick Of EP Users With Obviously Fake Pics And Fake Lives
This chick called @tallpowerhouseblonde says that's her in her profile pic and it was taken last summer. She's lying. It's a picture of Zoa Linsey from March 2010.
Zoa's picture is on the left. Powerhouseblonde's pp is on the right.
But hey if people fall for that, fine.

Personally I have no problem with this. Like EP, this is a place where you don't have to be your everyday self. You can try being someone else and see what it feels like.
@MagicalMystery: You're exactly right.. I do. Deceiving people, even after being asked is a crappy thing to do.
SW-User
@MagicalMystery: You're right, It may be a matter of personal taste but still fakes are fakes.
SW-User
@PinkRainbowBliss: I don't disagree with you about deceiving people. But we just shouldn't assume that people on here are the same as they are off line. You see this place as similar to Facebook, I see it as similar to Second Life.

@tilagirl: But a fantasy identity is not fake. It's all a matter of context and expectations.
SW-User
@MagicalMystery: But what is the intention of that fake identity?
SW-User
@tilagirl: I've posted a bunch of stories about different possibilities for that.
@MagicalMystery: But someone might not want to be part of someone elses 'fantasy'.. so they are being deceived into believing the person's fantasy is really reality.
@tilagirl: I'm pretty sure he's one of the biggest catfish's on the internet.. he's all about protecting the fake and disregarding the feelings of the ones being catfished.
SW-User
@PinkRainbowBliss: Probably so.

@tilagirl & PinkRainbowBliss: Are you assuming my gender?
You are also being really rude and insulting for no valid reason but I will keep trying to explain so as to open your minds a little. I actually have huge regard for the feelings of people who are deceived and that has happened to people I know in some rather terrible ways. I think that people who take on alternative identities need to be very careful about that.
But nevertheless there are many reasons for someone to have an alternative identity, many people on here do, and I think it is unrealistic and counterproductive to keep denouncing them. If you want to protect people, teach them to start with the assumption that you can never be sure who you are talking to on line.
@MagicalMystery: Oh, I don't do it to protect people (unless they're messing with someone I know), I do it for my own satisfaction. 😁 So yeah, now that we know you're a girl.. Goddess my ass.

@PinkRainbowBliss: Not sure where you're getting "Goddess" but thanks I guess? I'm glad you're clarifying that you do your anti-fake-account thing out of sheer meanness. Because if you were doing it because you're against falsehood, you wouldn't be accusing me falsely. You falsely accused me of asking about people's secrets in order to expose them, and now you've falsely accused me of being "the biggest catfish on the internet." You make these accusations with no evidence. That is false and damaging.
