documenting this in case they delete it later
#fatphobia

btw for context i'm fat. the "obese fairy" has a similar body type to me. seeing this really upset me and the way marapets staff handled my criticism was a stab in the back after spending all day really excitedly playing this game and hyping it up on twitter.

tw #racism

back on the topic of marapets racism, even tho they were changed slightly, the chinese and native costumes are still available to this day. also worth noting, the sports costume is casually racist (note the fur color of the basketball player compared to the rest)
messages mods sent me on marapets after i tried to post in that thread earlier lol what a bunch of babies omg
I WAS BANNED đŸ„°
#fatphobia #alcoholism #gambling

marapets used to have a character called the "trash fairy" who was a dirty alcoholic who gambled all of her money away. they later changed her to the "swindler/lazy fairy" but she is of course fat and dirty so is that really better?
tw #homelessness

the homeless fairy is still an npc in the game and he's a dirty "hobo" who lives in a cardboard box. there is also a "hobo" costume you can dress your pets in.
tw #racism #poverty #hunger #anorexia #eatingdisorder

marapets used to have a "skinny costume" that turned pets brown with their bones and ribcages showing. (uhhh???)
they blocked me lol!
so an artist who has done assets for @MarapetsTeam has come forward about how they were treated by the staff & delayed payment for their work. their words & receipts below: https://twitter.com/DokekkiArt/status/1320906487951097858?s=19

another artist who has done work for marapets has reached out to me via DM about their experience. (1/2)
cont. (2/2)
this thread went from criticizing terrible shit on marapets to whistleblowing for folks who have worked for them and i am 1000% here for it. if any other artists/devs/etc who have been mistreated by ian/marapets would like to share their experiences just know my dms are open.
ian has closed the forum discussion because "it's going around in circles" & then tells users who were vocally critical in the thread to continue the discussion "on twitter or in your blog"

again, the link to this thread is: https://www.marapets.com/topics.php?id=36961&fid=53&page=0

also hey while i'm here i just wanna bring attention to more shitty costumes that are still in the game: voodoo, prison, & mafia! please note how the mafia costume turns your marapet's fur/skin color dark brown. why is that, @MarapetsTeam?
here are just some of the many instances marapets has pretty blatantly ripped off existing neopets designs https://twitter.com/akitacurl/status/1320573953740574720?s=20
tw #racism

shaggy, a "minipet" you can give to your marapet as it's own pet (knockoff petpet basically) still exists unchanged on the site in 2020.
tw #racism #orientalism

an iranian man has reached out to me regarding kamilah, old kamilah costumes, & new egypt/desert costumes and how they showcase the marapets staff's racism, antiblackness, and orientalism. images & his words below:
tw #racism

the same person from the post above then went into some more of the now retired marapets costumes: the hero, puchalla, and trailer costumes. all of which are shown to have brown fur/skin and promote harmful antiblack stereotypes. images & his words below:
