Hey all! Some of y’all have definitely heard the rumblings of issues regarding racism/antisemitism/other forms of descrimination with the neoclone site neopetsclassic.com
I’ve posted about it a few times and I always get anons asking me to go into detail about what happened or to “prove” my claims. I never respond bc 1. I find it incredibly weird to put the onus of proof on someone who has been directly affected by that violence and 2. It’s impossible to tell who is actually concerned vs. who just wants to see the drama.
That being said my lovely friend has compiled her experiences with the site and the admin team and asked me to share them on Tumblr. I apologize it’s all screenshots atm, but I will try to get the actual text for folx who rely on screen readers!
For now I’ll say don’t support neopets classic (npc) don’t support people who are willingly apart of this racist team. I know some of them are on tumblr, one recently deleted but I’m sure he’ll be back at some point. If you’re looking for a good neo-clone I recommend Moderneopets, Virtupets, or Grundo’s Cafe all of which have very unique approaches to the classic neo experience and all of which have cut ties with the owner of Neopets Classic because he’s a dick.

btw y’all this person is a whole fucking racist as soon as they became a mod in the neopets classic discord they went on a whole xenophobic spree of deleting spaces made for people who don’t speak english and there’s screenshots of them actively mocking the people who called them out and targeting poc directly.
noah also harassed one of the best artists off the site (and publicly blasted them on the neoboards)
felix (the creator of virutpets, another neo clone) was also perma banned from the discord and had a 1 week ban on the site for "copying content" (lol what, you all are copying old neopets)
UNCENSORED staff screenshots of them yoinking grundo's cafe/community scripts for NPC:
YALL WE HAVE MORE SHIT GOING DOWN!!!
i can confirm from users that are still on the site/not frozen that this is the case.
