I really love Prue Genira's very brilliant Avatars Against Trump pic and you can probably see why: It's not just an image of her avatar, but her avatar "pixellated" from the words of this blog post she wrote against the hate stirred by Trump:
In the read world, I am a 28 year old gay male, who’s no beauty queen, jock, muscle god or beefy manly cake made out of testosterone; I am simply a bear cub. In my virtual world I am a glamazonian queen, my very own personal barbie. Make no mistake; my virtual me and my real me are integrally linked, we are one being. She is my female side, manifested in the virtual world of Second Life... As a gay man, I have suffered horrific discrimination throughout my life which has impacted me in many ways, one of which is not wanting anybody else, regardless of race, religion, sexuality and so on, to have to go through the same horrors. Unfortunately we now have a President who has opened the flood gates of hate, intolerance, prejudice, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia and it hasn’t just stopped there. Now we are building a wall, and turning our backs on what America is.
Much more here. How did Prue achieve this text-based affect? Through Photoshop, after watching this tutorial:
"It's something new I tried and I was worried I didn't exactly do it the best," she tells me, laughing. "Took me about five hours because I kept redoing it."
