Goddamnit Neopets!
Posted on 01 May 2025
Chances are if you’ve been following me on Bluesky, you’ve at least seen a post on the current situation on Neopets WebSite tm. To give you a tl;dr, it’s this: the moderation team on Neopets doesn’t give a shit about trans users.
I could say this started in December, but I don’t have the spoons to write an entire timeline of this shit. It all came to a head last month where, after days of transphobic troll boards were being posted on General Discussion on the Neoboards, the mods finally stepped in. And by stepped in, I mean they banned off topic discussion and gave the trolls a slap on the wrist. (They deleted the posts they made but didn’t punish them further.)
Ever since then we’ve been fighting constant trolls on General Discussion, now General Neopets Discussion, and the moderation team is dragging their feet on addressing them.
As well as this, there have been attempts to silence us trans people by both trolls and “well meaning” moderators on other sites. Being that Neocities is a place I like and trust, as well as have a platform here, I’ve found that this is probably the safest space I can put documentation on the hate speech on the neoboards and the biased, bigoted behavior by the moderation team. More to come later, but for now, I’ve mirroered a Pet Page from the site in case the trolls mass report it as “harassment” and shut it down.
Here is a pet page I mirrored. More to come and I will also work on a gallery page of all the evidence against the trolls that they cannot get removed like they did my imgur evidence page.
There is no reason this should have gotten this far. The ball is in TNT’s court, and they pretend it’s not even there. Trans users on neopets are suffering and all they can do is give a copy paste apology from 2 years ago. Don’t let TNT let you think they fixed it.
