Oh, no. I'm not trying to protect Chris at all. I just think that until that point, everyone's pointed a lot of relevant things that deserve to be taken seriously and some jokes - specially when it suggest some sort of phisical violence - could ended up being very prejudicial for everyone's, which is very unfair.

Also, about the strike and possible damages to his image and business, it's not up to me to decide. I'm here to help people organizing their ideas and avoid people to bash against each other, not to censoring anything. ;) As long it follow the forum rules, it's okay.

Fun fact! His cafe actually saw some protests due to its colonist vibes.
Just lovely!
I’m not surprised. I checked his site and I just wanna say... why is he so obsessed with mentioning that his company has connections to places like India? Not to mention the company name is apparently based off of a Hindu concept if I read it correctly. He’s clearly white from what I saw on that site, so what’s the point?? 
So, I just went to check out what ya'll were mentioning and.. oh. my god. I'm Indian, and the fact that someone British had the audacity to profit off of our colonization as a hipster gimick for a cafe is disgusting and yet, never surprising. Our people have faced constant degredation at their hands, and this is just another facet of post-independence colonization and trying to mask over the brutality of reality with something soft. It is not publically known because the victors write history but Indians and Pakistani people were enslaved by the British as well. There was no partnership, it was a dictatorship. tw homophobia// They killed gay people, trans people, and took them out of our holy scriptures and labeled us as primitive savages. The word "Blighty नक़ुसान से से" originated from a hindi word, but was turned into English by British soldiers mishearing and then bastardizing the language as a joke about South Asian language.

Thank you for your input. I was hoping someone would explain it. And this is EXACTLY why I am not hesitant to say things that would be considered "rude" against Chris. He's literally enforcing racist ideas into his company. And like someone said earlier, his player account on here is furthermore proof that he's just straight up a racist white prick.

19, she/he pronouns ONLY. Barely on the site anymore so don’t bother. Please don’t interact with me if we aren’t friends, it makes me incredibly uncomfortable and anxious.

And also another reason why we should boycott and hope he gives off this site to someone else. I feel incredibly nauseous about the fact that part of my money was going towards this man. I know a few of you might not immediately click in with this because obviously not every player here is a person of color, but I am begging you to understand this just cements the idea of boycotting in stone for me. There's no way we can continue to let things happen the way they do.

Hey!
So I wanted to read all of the comments before I said anything since I've only been here for literally a week, and by page 7 or 8 I was losing my mind (I did force myself to read til the end before commenting though) because I think there are so many important good ideas here and right now it seems like there's not a lot of ideas on how to structure what should happen next.
As a human I really really love to just jump into things headfirst, so please more senior people rein me in where necessary. THAT SAID
In my opinion the most important thing we should do right now is find some place OFF bl where we can all discuss this, probably discord would be a good idea? If we're going to plan a strike then it's going to backfire if by getting off the site we then lose communication to everyone who is part of this community. So goal #1 would be to set up a mini community elsewhere so that we can stay in communication if we decide to strike or migrate or whatever.
My next idea would be that we try striking senatorship to get Chris' attention, if this doesn't work (which from what a number of people have said sound entirely possible) a combination of what pierrot and zizi_babeyy said which would be crowd sourcing funds for a new site. Worst case we keep our community and have to rebuilt the game, but at best Chris is super intimidated and gives this site back. I think I think people underestimate the power of a well led community pulling together. From a very brief conversation I had with Toki it sounds like already there are programmers and web designers((myself included) in our mix so I think there's almost certainly an amount of talent that we could pull it off.
That's like... 1/2 of my ideas for things we can do, but I'm going to stop writing this brick of text now so people can respond.

Sorry for any weird spelling/grammar, I was so excited that I wrote that all very quickly and didn't proofread.

Making another place to discuss this sounds like a good idea. I know there are a few bl discord servers already but it would probably be a better idea to make a new one to discuss more thoroughly

I think using one that already exists has it's perks if it were already a public sort of thing? If the ones out there are more like governing/moderating/important-peopleing then making a new one might be better? Thoughts from people already in bl discords?

so i'm a newer player but i'll be honest with y'all - i joined this site planning to stay in the corner and just mess with outfits, because the atmosphere of the 'official' stuff is, um, terrible. sexist and weird and racist in bits and so on. if it hadn't been for realizing that the entire community was much, much better people, i would probably have left quickly, because... boy howdy the presentation in chris' bits of the site is less than ideal.

i do agree that the age limit needs to be raised. i'd also personally like it if the name for deleting a bimbo were changed, and honestly i think people should be allowed a one-time username change; i've seen a lot of people expressing they chose their name as a joke or in a different era, and now they want to change it. i'm not demanding no nsfw or edgy content from, y'know, bimboland, i just think that there's room for a slightly more welcoming environment?

also why is everything so slow lately, help
