Admitting gross ignorance, I'm sure, but...what are SIMS?

I assume it's a reference to the characters in the game The Sims:

Ah.

I can understand the comments on another LJ concerning addiction.

I confess that the section in the Wikipedia definition that discussed care and feeding and possible consequences of sim abuse squicked me just a little. Especially the part that read that you could test various methods of abuse (or poor treatment, or whatever you want to call it) on a sim, but the results wouldn't be permanent as long as you didn't save the scenario.

Then I wondered how abusing a sim compared with abusing a written character.

Have sims ever risen in revolt? Has a sim ever stopped in the middle of a self-torturing act, turned to the person on the far side of the monitor who compelled this act, and said, "Fuck you."

Have they ever considered unionizing?

Kaygo, whose characters have turned to her and said Fuck You on several occasions.

Several, but most of the printed ones say "Maine Audubon Society Volunteer" and aren't really relevant to chastising uppity characters.

Heh. I'd like one that has an image of random letters of the alphabet and the caption "I took you out of that mess, and I can put you right back in it."

Instant song refrain spooling through my brain...

"Don't you know it's me who put you where you are now, and I can put you back there, too."

Love that song. Have often thought I need to write a story based on that song...

Human League--Don't You Want Me? Love that song. Bought an entire CD just for that song.

If someone gets really extremely recalcitrant, one could use an animated .GIF to do that exact action, but that would be a chunk of work I wouldn't want to do if I wasn't intensely procrastinating...



Ummm. Well, now the template work is done. More would be easy.
