Commenting to boost as well. It's frustrating to see that things like this don't matter much to the unaware players of this site. Ignorance can be bliss for only so long before it causes disaster. 

If any new players are seeing this, I highly recommend looking at the first post in this thread.

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.

also pitching in a boost, plus some thoughts that have been on the brain

something that just keeps flooring me over and over with the design, function, and frankly the general sentiments of this site is just how poorly they are constructed, both in regards to what makes web + game design actually rewarding for a user to engage with and what tends to signify thaf a project is based in love and respect for both audience and subject matter. in other words, this site functions INSANELY poorly on BOTH fronts. 

it goes without saying i enjoy my time here! but it is specifically because i have, in my short time here so far, been consistently surprised and endeared by the amount of passion and joy that this site's active userbase has for maintaining a supportive environment and propping up an enjoyable creative outlet for people to explore things like fashion, costume design, and community outreach. on both creative and administrative fronts, the self-governance that this userbase sustains is truly impressive and very heartwarming. no one has anything to gain from it materially-- it is out of love, and it is honestly a love that you can feel.

it makes it feel all the more like a slap in the face that nearly every aspect of the website is designed not just without any indication of skill, but a sheer lack of interest. this ranges from the petty-- arbitrary and unbalanced scoring and reward systems, poor writing, etc-- to things in the very core fundamentals of the game that feel based in almost malicious levels of ignorance and a deficit of critical thinking, such as the eyebrow-raising job titles one can procure, the political insensitivity in just about every function of the site, and, to be blunt, a level of disrespect/disdain for activities associated with women that arent based in any satirical slant-- just misogyny and missing the mark. the fact that superficiality is a stat is honestly STILL bothering me. accuse me of nitpicking if you must but when has a man EVER had something smart to say about the proposed superficiality of women, especially when said women are embracing the very trappings of feminine expectation that were deliberately thrust on them and recontextualizing them through cartoonishness, camp, and a sense of self expression? call me a killjoy dyke if you must but its still gotta be said. come on. theres a reason the bimbo fetish subculture has so much overlap in the circles of drag and burlesque-- it is a performance of femininity made deliberately over the top, in such a way that it naturally attracts lots of folks who are trans, gnc, or just interested in recontextualizing their relationship with womanhood.

but thats the thing! no one involved in the creation of this site actually knows anything ABOUT that. they claim on some level that this is a site based in satire, but like.... satire of what? women? "satire" that you, a man, created to drive home biting political and ideological takes, such as *checks notes* .....Women Be Shopping? and your criticism there is on women instead of the way capitalist society only allows for identity and self-determination through the consuming of products? you literally are not smart enough to make satire. im sorry. you literally dont know ANYTHING *flips the table over and covers my face as i leave the room so the bravo reality tv camera cant follow me*

anyway. i get that was long lol but like... its something i HAVE NOT been able to stop thinking about. its so mean spirited and tone deaf and frankly stupid in the way that only a site for women made by a man CAN be. UGH

I feel like this thread and the "Hello Bimboland" Thread have been buried so that the newbies don't see them.  This is an important topic because it involves the website owner not taking responsibility even though he knows that this shit isn't acceptable to anyone.

THAT bitch

it's honestly a little disheartening that a man is behind this cite. it feels like less of s reclamation of bimbo culture, and more like... i don't know. i feel like this isn't a product of love, but rather one of obligation (to keep the cite running at the bare minimum) and finances. bimbos and bimbo culture is so diverse and beautiful, so seeing it boiled down to things like 'superficiality' and stuff like that detracts from that.

Yes, that’s the problem. This site was never about any of that. It was just some weird fetish fantasy/“social experiment” project that’s thrown aside now. Which is exactly why I wish new players would pay attention to this thread... the surge of players we got would be wonderful if they were aware of this and helped us actually turn the community into something of that sort.

As part of making this site safer for 16 year olds, maybe there should be a way to report users.
I have received sexually explicit public profile comments and private DMs. I can delete the comments & DMs and block the people. But a Report feature would help alert staff to the issue and remove users who repeatedly leave inappropriate comments or otherwise target or endanger minors. 

I understand that we may not currently have the staff for that. 
I think Team Bimbo (KimSim, Sachem) have other sites that they support and BL is not their main focus or source of income.

I have recently requested "Report user" button, so we may get that. It would work in the same way as report a forum post button :) 
Meanwhile, you can always report those users to me or any other Pink House staff.
