Glu really has inclusivity problems like I just went into my main game and counted how many Asian inspired items we have....not even 10 (makeup, dresses etc. included)... for a game that has been out for about 6 nearly 7 years. The embarrassment thoughš and we have only about only 2-3 Asian characters (Rani, Maya and the Walmart version of one of Takeshi's Castle host). That's it. And none of them are love interest. Glu do better bc you have the time. The only thing missing is the commitment
We don't even have enough asian eyes in the game and even the one they used on Maya is not in the game... š This is from the Instagram post the KKH posted earlier, and im pretty sure we don't have those eyes in the game, i don't know about the male doll but i searched and i couldn't find the eyes that Maya and the other female doll have š¤·š½āāļøš¤·š½āāļøšš If they can use it on the dolls why they can't give it to us in the game?Ā
Iāve had fun playing with looks I donāt usually get to put together for this theme! Hope I score well to get the ts hair, Iāve no idea what Korean street style is but here goes ..... š¤·š»āāļø
Im so sorry, but why you guys have to fight over everything!!!!!Ā
If you dont know exactly how to talk about something or how to use your words without being disrespectful to other people just keep scrolling and forget it, youāre only making people mad and showing a lack of empathy. So donāt.Ā
(english is not my first lenguage, hope this is understandable lol)Ā
@Sofiirol02Ā lol imagine not participating in the forum at all and then coming in like this telling us what to do.Ā
Many many people have tried to politely explain offensive things but are met with hostility in return, at this point the ignorance is sometimes purposeful and a lot of the POC on this forum are just plain tired of it.Ā
The irony of saying those fighting for rights and inclusiveness lack empathy but not saying that the ignorants and racist donāt.Ā
Iāll be as nice as possible here - your opinion is terrible and likely unwanted by many of us here. Bye š
Itās ironic how yāall love to talk about cultural appropriation but still play this game... like you realize Kim Kardashian appropriates culture for a LIVING and you playing this game, watching ads, completing offers etc. is only helping her make her millions. If you were really bothered by it you would stop but I know yāall just want something to cry about...
Just a friendly reminder that the Japanese kimono is not appropriate to use for Korean street style
I would also flag that the qipao/cheongsam is Chinese in origin ā Korean street style is very urban/edgy and tends towards the more modern looks while both the qipao and kimono are traditional styles of dress (whereas Chinese street style will more frequently include their traditional styles of dress).
Korean/Japanese/Chinese street style (as well as other Asian countries that still donāt have representation in the game) are all very distinct and I would definitely recommend doing a quick google or Pinterest search because they are all amazing in their own ways (just like Italian/French street styles have their differences). Seoul Fashion Week also just happened from March 22-27th, so thereās a lot of recent inspiration for everyone as well š„°Ā
I donāt have a big enough wardrobe or enough fashion creativity to show inspo looks, so Iām really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!Ā
@blxir lmao most people here donāt even play the game for kim and a lot of us find her problematic too. that doesnāt mean we canāt enjoy the game and it doesnāt make it okay for other people to appropriate tooĀ

@blxir this argument is brought up over and over again š literally every single big company has ties to awful people that profit off of them. In a capitalist society itās very very difficult to avoid funding shitty things - including child labor, environmental destruction, poor treatment of workers, etc.Ā
Implying that POC who have faced discrimination their entire lives are looking for something to ācryā about is so ignorant and baseless. Iām sure they would LOVE to not face these issues, they would love to not be discriminated against and then watch white people steal their cultures but they have to. And Iām sure they donāt love trying to make ignorant racists see their side but they do because itās the right thing.Ā
Itās something āsmallā people can do to stand up for whatās right. If you donāt care then whatever, thatās on you and your cold heart, but donāt come in here and involve yourself in the discussion.Ā
Glu has inclusivity issues. Period. The silence of mods on this forum speaks volumesĀ
Also, I sent proof of a doll involved in racial insensitivity being a hacker (they have items from older TS but also starlet kollection which was only for new dolls) to mods and nothing has been done. Hackers they are fine with apparantly,Ā standing up for the right thing is a different story
Hey!I believe we can get starlet kollection items from tb boxes.I saw it during bf sale.

Oh, ok that does make sense, but @Kween_of_the_Kastle was actually talking about this kollection here
(I found this on forums)Ā but this was meant for new players awhile back, and the doll they were talking about is not a new player, so how could they have had items from this kollection? She must be a hacker.

This is the same energy as when world's biggest polluters blame global warming on individuals...yes!!! my ten ads are single handedly funding kims whole career š¤øāāļø
So, after after scoring a 17 in this last sys i decided that im not gonna give a DAMN about Gluās stupid and dishonest algorithm and im just gonna have some fun! I donāt care my looks can score a 0 and im still gonna submit the looks i planned (wich was so much fun!) no matter what! Thatās it
My looks are kinda all over the place but i think thatās kinda the vibe of Seoul since it is a fashion city!Ā
(btw kim really did say to play with hair colors so i took that seriously)

1. There is a difference between want and need consumption. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, sure, but you choose what you consume. You want to play this game, it is not a need, so donāt bring up capitalism and avoiding funding for crappy things when it is very, very easy to avoid playing this game.
2. I never said anything about POC so donāt put words in my mouth. I am speaking on those who actively seek problems surrounding cultural appropriation when it comes to this game (not real life). Using POC hair, skin tones etc. on your character has been called ādigital blackfaceā and I feel like so many people on this forum have been trying to insert real life issues in a made up game. Me putting a POC hairstyle or a cultural dress on my doll isnāt cultural appropriation - letās get that straight. Things have to be real to have an effect on real life.
3. āStanding up for whatās rightā - I fail to understand how barring people from using certain items on their character is somehow the āright thingā to do? This game has no impact on our reality, or on any hardships POC face today so why does it matter. This is what leads me to believe people are actively seeking problems where there arenāt any.Ā

first off, weāre not talking about cultural appropriation. weāre talking about racism & representation. very different. so i already know you either didnāt read the conversation youāve inserted yourself into, or just want to share your 2 cents for the sake of it.
second, we donāt have direct communication with kim. what we do have is communication with @KalindaKing and @kokokokonut who can directly pass on our concerns & frustrations to glu about the game.
third, ābut i know yall just want something to cry aboutā... baby if you donāt care about racism, representation or making people of colour feel welcome & comfortable, just say that.
Just so you know my comment was unrelated to the discussion that was happening earlier. I was making a general statement. Representation is important and thatās something I strongly believe so donāt take my words out of context. I was speaking on how people make an issue out of cultural appropriation in this game as if itās real and affects our reality.Ā
I still stand behind my Kim comment. You cannot play this game and claim to be against cultural appropriation when Kim is THE cultural appropriator.Ā
@blxir āour realityā lol if youāre not a POC it is absolutely not your reality.Ā
Youāre an absolute clown. You donāt get to decide whatās cultural appropriation and I donāt understand why itās so hard to respect others. Also Iām not putting words in your mouth, many of the POC players on this forum have spoken out about the cultural appropriation so your comment is belittling their experiences and feelings.Ā Ā
Obviously this game isnāt a necessity but enrichment is. Everyone deserves and needs to have outlets for fun and many of those outlets for fun are connected to crappy peopleās means of income.Ā
Edit - not surprised these comments are coming from someone who included a Japanese kimono in their inspo for a streetwear SYS just because itās called āKorean StreetwearāĀ

This is from the Instagram post the KKH posted earlier, and im pretty sure we don't have those eyes in the game, i don't know about the male doll but i searched and i couldn't find the eyes that Maya and the other female doll have š¤·š½āāļøš¤·š½āāļøšš
If they can use it on the dolls why they can't give it to us in the game?Ā
