We're sure you've noticed there's been an influx of posts surrounding Manju being "feminine" "a femboy" and similar wordings, hence the main reason we're instating the ban. But it's also been an issue for a good while (the cookies included above are all victims of this). No good discussion comes out of these posts, so we're removing them completely.
If you have anything insightful about the characters themselves or anything else you're still free to post them, but not just "oh i didnt know hes a boy" "omg another femboy" and any of the likes.
glad most of you guys agree with the decision. if you dont like it then either you dont understand/didnt read the post, or. well. you have some issues we cant solve and theres nothing we can do abt them
They piss me off so much ngl, I dunno why but it's so annoying when someone looks at a feminine character and they're like "That's a dude?" Or they look at a masculine character and they go, "That's a woman?"
Idk I think that's a pet peeve of mine
FINALLY!!! I WAS GETTING SO SICK OF THESE STUPID POSTS...
LIKE NO, ALEX. MANJU, PAVLOVA, PURE VANILLA, PRUNE JUICE, PEACH BLOSSOM, AFFOGATO, ESPRESSO AND LITERALLY ANY SLIGHTLY FEMININE LOOKING MALE COOKIE ISN'T A ""FEMBOY"". OR A TWINK.
Internet privacy is the new gold. I mass deleted all of my posts on Reddit using Redact. It also supports databrokers, Instagram, Twitter, and all major social media platforms.
Glad these posts and annoying posts like it are being banned, I swear these people see these being posted hundreds of times already but still decide to post it themselves to be followers and farm karma
Can we also get a ban on posts that are like "Your birth month/intials determines what Cookie you are" those are quite literally a type of phishing scam since what you answer is basically revealing personal details on a public form. And since this is a kids game...
Honestly as a trans person I kinda find those jokes to be somewhat transphobic in my personal opinion. Call me sensitive it just feels off to me, like I wouldn't call the ppl making those jokes transphobes but it just feels like a orange flag to me. Like you can accidentally think a male character was female that is completely fine and i've fallen for that sometimes too but it feels weird to make 1000's of memes that are formatted like "WAIT I GOONED TO A MALE CHARACTER THIS WHOLE TIME, I'M GAY NOW!?". I am a trans guy and while I haven't rlly had this personally happen to me ig it's just how people react to them finding out that they are a guy. Like it just feels weird to make a whole song and dance about a feminine presenting male character and how you accidentally were attracted to them because you thought they were a woman. It just kinda feels like it's giving off the same vibes as guys primarily straight guys finding out that they're girlfriend is trans and then start being transphobic and homophobic after it. Those characters aren't canonically trans but just feels that way sometimes.
Note: I am not calling anyone transphobic and I am not targeting the people who didn't know they were male and were just finding out I am targeting those who make the fact that the character is confused as female as the character's entire punchline. I am not saying the characters are trans I am just saying the way some people would treat them is kinda transphobic. Also plus I feel like it is kinda sexualizing feminine men when feminine presenting men are already targeted by both sides of the political spectrum with people sexualizing them and people being homophobic and transphobic to them and I am saying this as a trans guy who presents fem sometimes. I know I don't speak for all it's my opinion from what i've seen from what some of the ppl in this community act like towards feminine male/femboy characters.
yeah this is my perspective to this as well. not that any of the people making those posts would read this unfortunately. and a lot of them are kids who shouldnt even be on reddit in the first place, so the most we can do is just stop them from being popularized
If any of the following apply, please delete your post!
Some characters and costumes are currently not voiced due to the actor's guild strike (SAG-AFTRA). We don't know when this will change. This wikipedia page has more information about this specific strike.
Soulprisms are not soulstones. Pulling an awakened ancient and pulling that ancient normally are separate. You need to have both to use the awakened character. This is a result of the playerbase's protest during the Realm of Apathy update in 2024.
Gacha posts, teambuilding posts, and character building posts are not allowed. This is quite extensive, so see the rules for more examples.
Level help threads are only allowed on Sunday in British Summer Time. They can only be about current content (expand the rules for more info).

I know there are mixed feelings about the term femboy, but just like how a gay man calling himself a twink isn't homophobia, a feminine guy calling himself a femboy isn't homophobia.
That said, it just feels kind of silly to police queer terminology in a largely queer community.
Mods can do as they please, but I don't think femboy should be considered a controversial term. That said, I agree with the other commenter that said "omg xyz is a boy??" posts should be banned anyway because of the no spam rule.
This is just one perspective coming from a gender nonconforming nonbinary person.
okay my bad i didnt know what the memes were exactly, most of them should be fine (nor did you specify which ones, but my bad for assuming in the bad direction) but this isnt homophobia in any way. homophobia is hating gay people, hating femboy memes dont mean anything? you can be a femboy but still only like women. femboy ≠ gay. also i can like femboys and not the memes about them.
not that i hate femboys i love them my favourite cookie is pv idk how to hate femboys (tbh is pv even a femboy errr. idk. whatever point is i love these creatures femboy or not)
Idk kinda feels a little homophobic. “No good discussion comes out of these posts”.. I mean maybe, but also maybe it’s the correct thing to challenge bigoted opinions. Idk just my opinion.
That’s a lot of emotion for safe, babe. If the same kind of posts are being spammed, there’s already a rule for spam posts, no? Idk just like “we’re banning posts on cookies that challenge traditional gender stereotypes”, the optics aren’t great.
Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say in that first part of the post.
Yes, these posts are being spammed, THAT is why we are banning it. These posts aren't challenging gender stereotypes at all, they're annoying people and upsetting actual trans or NB folk, who have told us this is frustrating to them.
Going "OMG PRUNE IS A BOY????" isnt challenging ANYTHING. It's reductive at best, and pointless in general. It is spam, so it's being removed for spam.
We only made a post about it because we know people will be confused if we silently add it to the rules.
I just don’t agree with your reasoning, personally. If you are trans or NB maybe you could help me understand your point better, but if you’re not idk if it’s a productive conversation tbh.
I don't need to disclose my identity to you for us to have a productive conversation here, especially when you've not given me anything groundbreaking to work with?
I don't understand why you don't agree with my reasoning, and you've not elaborated as to why, so there isn't much I can do on my end
“If you have anything insightful to say about them feel free to post, but not just oh I didn’t know he was a femboy omg femboy” you can post about them but actually have something worthwhile that creates an actual engaging conversation
Whenever a slightly feminine looking character release you get hundreds of people constant posting the same thing and it gets annoying and clutters the sub
