Wormston, you're not hiding it that well. It's clearly a plushie you're gonna reveal.

That said, I'm excited for the stream, interested to see our new themes. And it seems a lot more interesting than last year's, where we were all just in a waiting room with music. Yippee!
It looks like we're getting either Spring v. Autumn, Arctic v. Tropic, or Seafoam v. Stardust. Really hoping for Seafoam v. Stardust because it's the coolest theme.

(Also, guys if you have any concerns just contact the mods didn't they say on the post?)

AHHHHHH, CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ART FIGHT TO START!!! 

Adding on to the concerns regarding the new guidelines...
Based on the wording and the inclusion of "overly-exaggerated proportions" (something VERY up to interpretation, incredibly vague) in "fetish content", it kinda seems like certain body types are just straight up disallowed?? Even if that's not formally what the rules say, I worry that's likely what it will come down to, because what is considered "overly-exaggerated" varies heavily from person to person.

IM SO EXCITED. my boots is shaking fr

Hmm, echoing others on the new guidelines being vague, and also just not a fan of some of the newer rules in general. In particular, the idea that even "tame" fetish stuff like a collar portrayed in a suggestive way is disallowed. As long as it has the appropriate filter it should be absolutely fine, imo.

Also, as someone of a minority culture, I find the fact that there's a specific note about cultural appropriation to be... moderately insulting, I guess? I mean, I'm native, and have people telling me how to interact with my culture all the time because I'm being "insensitive", and I don't trust that won't happen here.

WAAAA stupid Australian timezones T-T It'll be on from 12am - 6am and I have therapy the following dayyyy~ Maybe one day I'll make the reveal stream... ANYWAYS, good luck to everyone! :D

WWWOOOOOOOOOUUUUUHOUUUUUUUUUUU 

YOO IM SO EXCITED!! CANNOT WAIT FOR ART FIGHT THIS YEAR!!

yooo!! who's excited for artfight??? Commenting this at literal midnight but im so ready for it! ^^ and the reveal is on the same day something for one of my favorite internet series' is realised? June 15th is gonna be a wild day XD

for clarification on the rule updates, is it;

oc x canon is allowed as long as the canon character isn't their own profile (as it was before, and you just credit the oc twice for points, for both characters)

or

oc x canon isn't allowed at all anymore? 🤔 or am i misinterpreting the updated rules? /nm

OH HELL YEAH!!!! 

I think it'll be a "warm vs cold" or something like that
For a while I had a feeling one team would be yellow

others have already voiced it but im also wildly concerned by the vagueness of the suggestive content category, because wording it under the 'if the piece has a sexual connotation' idea is VERY subjective. Someone sitting in latex can, theoretically, be fetish content. Wonder bread is fetish content. I understand a hard no on overtly sexual content but to quantify fetish and then follow it up with 'but this and this' is okay is counterproductive at worst and discouraging to users at best. a collar is WILDLY sexual to some people and very casual to others, but is allowed, how will this be applied moving forward?

As excited as I am for the game, though, I have to agree with the concerns that the new suggestive themes guidelines are... kinda bad? How exactly are you going to monitor what is and isn't a 'fetish' or 'fetish gear'? Especially with the statement that "certain" gear is allowed if not framed sexually? What's that even mean? And the banning of words referring to sexual content, what about common swears like the f-word, is that not allowed anymore? It does have a sexual meaning, doesn't it? Why even make this change, frankly? Why not just ban suggestive content altogether at this point, it seems like you WANT to.
