@reema dont be shy, go ahead and tell us what you really think, because its been made clear you wont be banned for it. The only time making the forum "fun & welcoming" seems to matter is when its someone speaking out AGAINST racism.
I just think itās funny how you guys are complaining about racism, when you are literally playing a game made by people who like literally cultural appropriate every single day. you guys are feeding into their pockets but wanna complain about the kardashians games.
Kim K also has 4 black children and I think she would be disgusted if she knew that a forum with her name attached to it was treating, specifically black women, in such a nasty way. Kim also uses her privilege to bring POC issues to light, specifically in the criminal justice system. Sheās not a saint by any means but I donāt think sheād like whatās going on here.
Ā Just caught up on this thread and I canāt believe Char was banned. She is one of the most vibrant and kindest ppl on this forum, and she wasnāt protected. Just awful, Iām so disappointed.Ā
āIf youāre so passionate about being anti-racismā so @reema being against racism isnāt something youāre passionate about? Interesting.Ā
Also interesting that youāre trying to speak to POC about people facing discrimination in real life as if they havenāt experienced that?? Youāre ridiculous.Ā
of course i care! but this is a game ffs, the reason why this argument started was because Farah, changed her avatars skin tone (i think what happened) so that POCās could have some inspiration for this SYS, which iām ngl is low-key a problem, but itās not that deep, cause itās a game. this argument has happened literally every single SYS and clearly the mods donāt care, so using your analogy, the next step would be to leave! if somebody was idk being explicitly racist Ā you at school or work and your boss didnāt care and simply do nothing, the next step would be to leave. so yes it is funny that the people that are complaining about the game being racist - not providing enough poc hairs, not providing enough skin shades, allowing people like me to āinvalidateā your opinion - but continue playing the game. at the end of the day, itās a game my dude.Ā
oh yes, because itās just a game, letās ignore the important issues, right? farah really had no reason to change her skin tone to give POC dolls some inspiration. that can be done without changing your skin tone, so someone here make it make sense please! itās crazy how people on this forum get called out & banned for trying to defend serious issues.

Itās obvious you donāt care and are probably one of the ones who will stand by and let sh*t happen bc the environment that youāre in isnāt exactly against racism so please Iām asking respectfully to continue to stand by and let the people who actually have guts speak their minds which donāt care if the owner is against them and actually address us instead of saying you guys girlieā¤ļø

Whether or not people play a silly game, in a fantasy world, changing their doll/avatars skin tone systemic racism still exists, hate crimes will still occur, and people are suffering in REAL TIME. If you are so passionate about being anti-racist, then stop playing a game that collaborates with someone who is KNOWN for cultural appropriation and blackfishing. Stop the double standard. Think a game is racist? Well, you're just as racist forĀ stillĀ playing and funding it with money. Quit your double standards. Then we'll talk
Double standards? Sweetie saying that you care and caring are 2 different things. But letās assume everyone is like you who can just leave when a little inconvenience happens. Letās assume that I could easily find another school or job just as easily as youāre making it seem. Letās just f assume that every POC/black person playing this game tolerates her actions and everybodys actions. Letās just assume that everyone who plays this game is even aware of her actions. Letās assume also that calling POC/black people racist for trying to make a change and make others understand. Babe Iām not like you. I canāt leave somewhere the moment an inconvenience happens whether itās related to my race or not and itās obvious that you and a hella lot of other people here need to understand that. Bc if oppressed communities left the moment that they had the slightest inconvenience happen to them bc of the community that they belong to, then nothing would have changed. You little privileged girlies STILL to THIS DAY cant understand that fleeing isnāt gonna make a change yet you still love to use that Trumpie little mentality then want to say that you care. You donāt babe. You obviously donāt and if your answer to every oppressed community is ājust leaveā¤ļøā then you obviously donāt understand nor care enough to research as to why running away from problems like these isnāt gonna solve the issues.
And donāt ever dare to call me your dude girlie. Bc your mentality is obviously as long as thereās no physical damage everythingās fineā¤ļø Lemme tell you a short story. I was being bullied by my math teacher and being called names and often compared to an animal. Was I able to leave like your privileged ass just told me to? Guess what? No I couldnāt just leave even if I wanted to. In the end me and several others got the teacher fired. Bc instead of doing what you privileged princesses tell us to do, flee, we simply complained and ,unlike you, the other teachers listened to us and we didnāt even have to repeat ourselves more than once. Bc guess what? Those teachers cared. And you donāt.
And @reema I know what other POC are going tru bc I am one of them and I really donāt need someone who isnāt a POC to explain to me what is happening. Bc I also get to experience it but thanks for trying to educate me about something I already know and got to experience in first person.Ā
@reema nooo really? I thought racism stopped to exist and pretty privileged people like you finally had a reality check. It's funny how you think that a POC doesn't know about it as if they haven't experienced it themselves
Really wanted to see if you guys finally stopped w the 'if you don't like it just leave it' sh*t but it's obvious some of you skipped history class and it shows

I am sure millions of BIPOC would love to move from their racist countries with racist policies and move to ... Another racist country with their own racist policies. You know, just to change the flavour a little bit.Ā
I am sure millions of BIPOC would love to leave their jobs where management holds inherently racist beliefs and biases but it is SO EASY to find another job isn't it?Ā
Millions of BIPOC are just participants in double standards because they could just LEAVE and QUIT right? Think your praxis through next time you try to make a point because you are clearly out of your depth.Ā
And on another note: YOU CANNOT CLAIM TO "RESPECT" AND "ADMIRE" CULTURES WHEN YOU LITERALLY DISMISS PEOPLE OF THAT CULTURE.

Funny how you assumed iām white, yes my avatar is white but I am a POC - mixed race to be exact. I have experienced racism, prolly why I prefer having a paler avatar, which isnāt the point. The point is I have experienced racism and iām not feckin privileged lmao. you guys, and iām not being micro aggressive anyone LOL, you guys as in the people on this forum, attacking non black/poc dolls for having an opinion on racism.Ā
donāt play the game if you care so fckin much, donāt twist my words to fit your fckn narrative... dude

Ah, yes. Because leaving a situation in which racist things are happening is totally the best thing to do. Letting racism fester isnāt an option. If you picked up a history book you would be able to plainly see letting something fester isnāt a good idea. Take 1930s Germany as an example. But I guess for people who are sitting pretty with privilege are able to turn a blind eye because to them itās ānot that deep.āĀ
good thing weāre not in the 1900ās anymore then isn't it. this isnāt real life yk.Ā its. a. game. why donāt you open your eyes as to whatās going on in the real world instead of worrying about a GAME

this is sad because youād think youād stand up against these issues. you say you experienced racism & yet you still do not understand the issue, nor will you try to be understanding.Ā
Love how when people are rightfully called out, they pull the "I've experienced racism too". OK? Sorry that happened with you but shouldn't you have at least some common sense to not egg on racism towards other people? Tf? Did you not learn anything, I don't get it. Did someone go up to you and say you're not supposed to feel upset because you're being hated for your race? Let other people be rightfully upset and angry gd*mn. They tell you it's racism and you say, no sorry, if I'm not being targeted it's not racism??Ā

Babe i can multitask and again itās obvious that youāre still privileged ENOUGH not to understand. Not all of us wanna run away from our problems no matter how small or big they are. And itās sad that you think that game donāt influence the way people think and act sometimes. Itās funny how i can easily tell that youāre just one of those people who are like that as long as thereās bigger problems we should only focus on that. And babe I didnāt try to twist your words. Youāre the one whoās getting all rude and defending the people in here by bringing out the injustice happening outside. I simply told you that i am aware and that thereās no need to educate me about it bc i still very much experience it. Itās obvious you donāt respect me enough to even stop calling me dude so Iām just gonna assume that youāre just like the ones who were called out and just give up on even explaining as to why there shouldnāt even be an opinion on discrimination other than it being wrong.
And @reema I know what other POC are going tru bc I am one of them and I really donāt need someone who isnāt a POC to explain to me what is happening. Bc I also get to experience it but thanks for trying to educate me about something I already know and got to experience in first person.Ā

But you go girl, itās cute to see you getting so rude and pressed and glossing over everything we said and trying to say we twisted your words bc as long as thereās no physical damage. Everythingās Gucci for you š„°Ā
Oh and @tortor funny how you have yet to reply or even apologize to @KkhElena for your privileged and rude reply yet claim to have changed the skintone bc you want to āhonorateā black people bc you āadmireā them so much.
Funny how you guys love to complain how this convo happens every SYS yet YOU start it and at this point itās obviously for a reaction. Cute if not the cutest š„°Ā
And @reema I know what other POC are going tru bc I am one of them and I really donāt need someone who isnāt a POC to explain to me what is happening. Bc I also get to experience it but thanks for trying to educate me about something I already know and got to experience in first person.Ā

The girl asked you to respect her and not call her dude and you still go and do it then get all upset and start sweating when she gives you more attitude. I swear you guys love to do it just to get a reaction. And it's really no wonder that she didn't immediately get that you're mixed. You're literally defending things over here bc it's a game? Games can influence the way you act irl if you didn't know the same way television can and so can influencers/celebrities.
Go on @tortor if you can lol at my post you surely have enough time to also give a quick reply or is it that youāre gonna give more attitude to the person who was nice enough to try and educate you? Hm?
Some dolls straight rocking it in the voting booth š„š„
I just noticed that every doll in this pic had used the sparkle aura. They all look gorgeous.
@Iridescence hahaha thatās not the stars aura, itās the stars that come up around someone when you vote. I usually screenshot after I vote so I can see if my favorites got popular pick too but I totally agree with you that all these dolls are gorgeous ššš

It's just so funny how you're gonna ignore the girl for simply asking you to reply to me but I guess that she's asking for too much. If respect is really that hard to give then this entire thread makes just sense
Just throwing it out there that it is entirely possible for one POC to be racially insensitive towards other POCs so that excuse is sooo tired. It's just another version of the "I have a black friend so I can't be racist" BS

Can second that. Had a black friend in middle school who was racial insensitive towards me bc she was lighter. In the end she pretty much became the black token friend that you only think exists in the movies. It was cringe
