neopets is still neopets! nobody said neopets wasn't neopets anymore. you can still take care of your pet and enjoy the entirety of the site, just like i do.

queer users have always played neopets and have always existed- its just that nowadays people are more comfortable being themselves in the open, and that's a good thing! discussion of these topics is a benefit- people feel more included and welcomed, which isnt always the case in the real world.

I agree completely that nobody should be on the receiving end of something they feel threatened by

but one point I am trying to make that what some folks have claimed are "having different opinions" are statements of intolerance or bigotry - even if they may not realize it or see it that way, it's something they have to be open to trying to understand and I'm not seeing that

if ur implying in that last post that being trans is mental illness, "real or perceived" I'm done here

Neopets isn't Neopets no more. Now the boards are a place of constant intense debate over so many opinions and positions. Can't escape it and it just such a drain no matter which camp you're in. There's only one way to fix it and TNT doesn't seem organized enough with strong leadership to right the wrong. This energy most certainly will not bring new players or new money to the game.

Thank you for reading my words. I have no desire to force people to believe as I do, but I do like being properly understood. Despite some past experiences, I still believe in the decency of others.

@a_dudeman360_a I get u cuz it's sometimes rly draining, but I've managed to enjoy neopets outside of that when I don't want to engage in more "heated" topics wrt stuff like TNT's actions or user complaints, I still have my fun and there's still "neutral" spaces and boards (even on here!) to chat and make friends, you just might have to mentally filter out certain things a bit which imo is fine and p normal on the internet nowadays no matter where you are, esp cuz the playerbase is mostly adults

All I'm asking is that the General Discussion boards be neutral. This is a community of diverse viewpoints, therefore compromises will have to be made.

100 percent. I think that's what I mean when I say I miss Neopets. This used to be a space outside of and separate from the world. But now, now the world is in here. And the same stuff going on out there is now here. The magic is like kinda gone.

Im sorry but I get bad vibes from people who say things like 'everything should be neutral' when we're out here talking about people's identities being targeted and harassed.

It feels the same as people saying they wish neopets wouldn't have like pride flags and what not.

Basically removing any possible little thing to prevent discourse but in the end it's basically censoring identities.

I do as well and for the record, I want to acknowledge that I appreciate your willingness to talk about things calmly and I hear you that you are not trying to be hateful

Altho there may be a gap in perspective when there are diff "sides" to something so personal as to what comes across that way, and I wish that gap could be bridged but this is prob not the place where that can happen and I understand that

I'm not saying everything should be neutral. Just that the General section should be. I'm not trying to prevent discourse (after all what is it we're even doing on this board if not having discourse) I'm just saying that there is a place for everything. The site rules are what they are.

What are some ideas to maybe start to turn this ship? Or are we already sunk? I liked and agree with the idea to create a separate board where these topics could run wild. I also kinda want TNT maybe to say they're pulling back a bit on allowing so much outside world talk here. That would be a step in correcting this mess I think.

I feel it would be best for ppl who want neutrality to seek neutrality and only engage in and create those boards since TNT is allowing what some ppl feel are "divisive" discussions to happen - u can always contribute with more neutral or casual topics, there's still plenty of room for that

We can all co-exist peacefully I think it just really boils down to understanding that ppl's self-expression is not up for debate, even if you don't understand, even if you don't think this is the place

Welp now that I've said all I needed to it's time to walk the mile all the way back to inside my comfort zone (have I mentioned how I feel about conflict? XD) and try to sleep off those suspect deviled eggs I had the other night and hope I'll be well enough to work tonight. Someone's gotta stock the soups and salsas of Aisle 3 B-)

My mom told me if you don't want people to talk about something then don't give them something to talk about. Putting your business out into the open basically invites people to make comments or offer their opinions. So like - if you don't want a debate then don't start one?
