Luna

?

im talking about the people who saw them when she originally posted them.

ok here's the best interweb compliment ever: Luna, you are so cute that I figured you weren't even real.

how could someone know the pictures were fake and simultaneously fiercely defend luna's realness

it is a mystery

who itt fiercely defended luna's realness?

can someone just post the permalink to when she posted that pic and we can see for ourselves?

I have no horse in this race, but I can totally understand how you could believe that photos posted weren't real (but rather posted to ingratiate oneself into a community, or for a laugh, or to join in despite not wanting to show pictures of your real self), but simultaneously believe that the life circumstances, emotional responses, general self-presentation in text IS real. They're different media, with different conventions, expectations and connotations.

i like how all these people are now like oh yeah, i knew her pictures were fake

this also makes no sense, are you saying that people didn't see the pics but knew they were fake all along

I'd always known there'd been p obv fake pics posted, didnt know there were um that obv til now

jesus fuck

there is definitely at least one person on this thread claiming to have known all along that the photos were fake who was pissed as fuck when chaki said luna had misrepresented herself

I really want to have sex with Luna. I mean, really. I think even her horniest admirers here cannot approach the zeal with which I admire our Miss Aimee. She's funny, she's lovely, she's above all unknown. I may have a girlfriend, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't punch someone out cold to get at Aimee.

What do you look like in your underwear?

i remember those pics, i think my thought at the time was more 'hmm' than 'lol fake' but i've always found posting pics of yrself online, having tight internet friends, and posting pics online for yr tight internet friends all very creepy and disturbing. as much as hindsight makes it obv they were fakes it should be noted that at the time on ilx several ilxors posted pics as or more pornographic than the above, ilxors whose appearance/temporal status was verified from faps (that luna lived in one of the nexus for faps and never showed despite being one of the more 'i luv my internet friends!' types probably shoulda been a hint), and that amongst the verified female ilxors who did so 'luna' was far from the most attractive one. so within that context, plus a certain naivete combined w/ a lack of cynicism and paranoia that some (myself) possess and a willingness to engage w/ and open yrself up to strangers that some (myself) do not possess i can see how someone could 'buy' that photo. esp considering the aim chats of the time which were even more prone toward cuddlestein after dark (i was never fond of these tbh). should also be noted that ilx was a much smaller, tighter community and, perhaps more important, this was before social media really. my rule generally is 'don't go out of yr way to meet internet friends irl' (cf 'don't hang out w/ work friends after work'), but i'm not sure luna proves the wisdom of it, there have been happy relationships and even marriages to arise from ilx so who's to say.

you see the stretch marks if you look.

If you could have intimate relations with only 1 ILX0r who would it be?

should also be noted that ilx was a much smaller, tighter community and, perhaps more important, this was before social media really.

otm

prescient post!

ok though, who were the female posters on ilx that were "far more attractive" than the porn-quality ass pic luna posted again???

ok wtf at that k post. jesus.

do we really need to get into a place where we rate each other on fuckability? that is some creepier than cuddlestein mountain shit

hey he said it

I mean I know after all this time I should not be surprised and yet.

haha yes you def shouldnt be surprised

i know, i know

"holes"

god

lol

girl,

k's post is heinous but "above all unknown" would def be a great title for the trashy true crime book about luna, so thats something

x-post - hahahaha

so, here we are

...wow.

lol

I'm so fuckin' into you. let's fuckin' have sex. But you have to be into Betsy, I told Betsy that you were into her. And if you get this message, just look at me and say "yes."

mh, we have done that in the polling era

yeah i could've phrased that better, didn't mean to suggest any 'fuckability rankings', merely noting for ppl who thought any photo of that type on ilx would clearly be fake that there were several ppl (women and men) who posted photos of that sort at the time so it was more plausible than you might think. i guess ppl still do those wdyll threads and there are those rolling city threads where ppl shoot the shit but i don't think there's anything on the level of old ilx (unless 77 board, one reason i've probably not minded not being allowed there). i mean ppl did road trips. in that context something like luna can happen and it doesn't mean the ppl who were conned were obv fools or notre dame grads, when i think about the qualities i have that those ppl didn't it's not like i think it reflects well on me. one thing i wonder is do ppl think the luna revelation (not just that she was fake - alot of ppl knew or suspected that - but the extent of her deception and just how much she had exploited some ilxors' trust) changed the culture of ilx?

the qualia of balls

post-luna ilx

how could i have forgotten those hideous shoes.

OK on the assumption I'm one of the women Rox is implying, I have to say i NEVER thought that porno pic of "luna" was of her, cos it was just too obvious and well (ugh) shot and whatrver. Not at all saying I didnt think other pics mightve been of her, and not denying my defence of her at the time it blew up - hey shit happens, I got it wrong, it became rapidly obvious. Whatevs.

Chasing Aimee

I've never felt insulted, objectified or demeaned by anything on ILe (I don't post to ILm much because I know fuck all about music) - nor am I offended by being called a bitch.
Maybe I'm part of the problem!
