actual neo:
gay tokens out now. cringe. they apparently had drama over the wrong flag being used for gay dudes or something i don't know i avoid socializing with users like the plague
grundos cafe:
grundo's cafe isn't any better, every time you log in you get a 'pride event' which is like, getting a rainbow item or some gay neopet telling you you're loved and accepted, except people like Elon though, they're so completely unacceptable that they're literally named in the rules you cannot talk about him lmao
also they made the sidebar gay and the icons for dailies gay
and even if you change your site theme the rainbow icons are used for dailies still that are currently changed. which whatever that's minor, you cannot disable the gay events though
Neopets is banging open the door of the crypt by celebrating pride. I remember when they had to remove their forums because people were naughty and most of the users were underage.
Why not just prismatic? Why you gotta announce that your pet cartoon animals like scissoring? How would a peophin (the kelpie thing) do that? Fuck you for making me try imagining that, btw.

lol the last plot was solely about making the grey faerie a enby and you can now make your neopets gender "other" and dress them up in gay shit, they've sexualized the virtual animals for a long while now sadly.
(someones actual custom)
baelia (grey faerie) is now iridesia or something now and people on the forums lose their fucking mind if you don't use they/them now
edit: late on this one i don't check the thread much because the site (neopets) hurts me enough as is but still worth bringing up again
oh yeah theres TWO pronoun packs in the nc mall, they're free so. not sure why theres lots of mentally ill women who bitch monthly about dropping like 2k on their gacha mystery capsules in which you need to check OTHER WEBSITES to actually see what's in it
funny they needed two packs considering they reused she/her on the second one too lol
Feeling like an absolute fool for hyping up Neopets when the new ownership happened. It was such great improvement after a decade of shit! Why ruin it? I have to keep telling my kid that the website is down so we can't feed their Uni because I just don't want to deal with it whatever is happening over there.
This is the second time ownership fell into the hands of cult-likes. However the Scientologists weren't this mask-off with incorporated grooming shit into the main game of their child-friendly website at the time.

The whole "Neopets was owned by scientology" thing has always been blown way out of proportion, but I agree. Still, I must sperg.
Doug Dohring was the majority shareholder of Neopets from 2000-2005. He used Scientology assets to help the management side of the company. Adam Powell (may he live forever in poverty) and Donna Williams still ran the show. The Neopets staff at the time had near zero interaction with any scientology people. Powell and Williams didn't even know that Dohring was connected with the Church of Scientology for the first few months he was involved with Neopets.
I am old enough that I've played through every era, minus the OG 1999 britslop version. 2000-2005 was the golden era. The magazine was in publication, the TCG was being printed by WOTC, plotlines were constant, and most importantly the site ran like butter. The one and only questionable thing that made it to the website is something I can't even prove existed.
Just below the daily trivia question there was an off-site link to a survey site. You could answer a few questions for neopoints. It wasn't there for long, I don't think. It's burned in my mind because every once in a while there were questions like "Are you religious?" "Are you spiritual?" "Do you go to church because your family makes you?". Even as a kid I knew that was wild to have on a children's site that banned users for discussing that very topic (which I had seen in action at the time over multiple users discussing the Amish).
But again, it wasn't there long, it was technically offsite, and I can't even prove it really happened. Otherwise, Neopets.com adhered entirely to the original creators' vision.
Dohring wanted to transform Neopets into an educational website of some sort, but chose not to and backed out. (Tangentially, Dohring founded ABCmouse.com later on, if you have ever seen those commercials. I've had other parents describe the website as a replacement for preschool. I've never looked into it.)
Neopets was bought entirely by Viacom after that, but even though they made major changes to the Neopets site they didn't go against the rules of the brand. Much later it passed hands to Jumpstart, who ran the site into the ground and hot potatoed it to their parent company. Despite their incompetence, they didn't make changes to the Neopets lore or base set of rules. Neopets is now basically owned by a single Chinese(?) guy and is an independent entity. This is the first time basic ideas like "no politics, no romance, no adult topics, etc." have been changed.
The current Neopets team knows for a fact that the huge majority of people who play are 30+ in age. They are actively choosing to cripple the Neopets brand by marketing to the 30+ adult-babies instead of the 30+ adults with children who could pass the game on to a new generation. Not only that, but how the hell are they going to market themselves to potential partners? They can't say it's a kids site anymore. They bank solely on nostalgia. How do you convince anyone to invest in nostalgia?
They have admittedly done great things for the functionality of the site, but introducing fanfic tier shipping and including real life politics is going against the brand. They are the only owners to have gone against the original creators' vision. If this was happening when I was a kid I'd be weirded out just as I was with the religious surveys.
I saw this pop up in the "Whats new" section, as that's how I usually interact with the farms. Thought to myself, "It's been like..20 years. I wonder how this has been?" I used to love this when I was a kid.
It's all faggotry and grooming now. Sad.
team neopia central just announced, probably to throw more rainbows on the site (granted, neopia central does have a staple rainbow pool)
your daily taste of the faggotry on the gendisc board,
let me neopet show off having a hog AND a pussy
also do you guys know the blueberry meerca guy? this dude was petitioning for months if not years his shitty mspaint blueberry meerca fetish and they made it an actual color, i wish the posts were archived because he'd bump his boards DAILY for months about this stupid fucking thing
1jediboy is very autistic, this is the drawing that spawned it all.
i reccomend browing his petpages as they're all extremely autistic about fruit pets or bad art
there's also a really autistic techo guy that spams the subreddit about techos (and occasionally neoboa, its like alll they talk about. I wish i could find their neopets account but their reddit is a fun go through if you want to read about an autistic lizard person
and last but not least there's a guy who spams the BC with his very mid characterart every single week and i don't think he wins very often, they're nice to people but they're kinda like chris chan in the fact their art never improves. ever. which seems to be a neopets thing, they're either a incredible artist and have good taste or they're fucking terrible at 30, extremely autistic about character development and cant make a custom to save their life.
they're not lolcows or anything, just quirky characters of the neoverse i thought you guys might find entertaining, since the drama about the tabletop RPG got posted theres not really a lot of IP -based drama (other than I think they're rewriting the TCG because the gameplay is unplayable ad that's been in the works for months?) so i figured a snippet of what i come across would be a fun filler.
I finally went back on Neopets and was quickly greeted by this in the pharmacy shop. According to Jellyneo, it was added last month. Item description reads:
"A quiet symbol of strength and understanding, this honours Neopians who carefully balance their energy each day with patience, care and resilience."
