Site Update
Pride Month's first scheduled update is here! How lucky are you that two event shops are opening on the same day? The Event Shop is hosting the Pride Month activities!
First, hit up Adventure for Bonsai Rainbow Trees which are the event currency for this portion of the Event (this means that they can be used to buy the Event Items until the second Pride Month update). They are Uncommon items that can be found in all parts of Adventure.
The Event Shop is full of all kinds of awesome items! You'll be able to find energy items, HA items, fauna, and informational collectible items stocking for Bonsai Rainbow Trees.
The HA items available will make your HA avatar trans-friendly by offering bases with flat chests for both avatars, and bases with breasts for both avatars. There are also a bunch of tank tops designed for the new skins, both regular and Pride-themed!
This update's special item is a brand new Pride Month site background! Pick up an LGBT Clouds Background to change your layout theme to LGBT Clouds, a background design made by Syncline.
Of course, there are a handful of adorable Pride-related pets for you to collect in the Event Shop as well! Go check them all out and see if any of them resonate for you.
Can't wait for more Pride items? Look forward to the next Pride Month event update on the 14th!
Note: The Bonsai Rainbow Tree will be leaving Adventure areas on 11:59 PM on the 13th. All Event Shop Pride Month items will be cleared at 11:59 PM on the 13th. Get these items before they rotate out for the second round of Pride event content!

To everyone trying to get trees, fighting monsters seems to up the drop rates slightly.

On a semi-unrelated note, just saw the Acceptance teo, and I'm so glad you added it X3 At least I can mostly identify with it aside from being part of the LGBT+ community, as I am merely an ally, and it's super cute!
On a related note, that background is so pretty! And there are lots of lovely pets!

That Shen looks painful. I do wonder though. Shen are made of liquid, if this pride shen turns to water to escape. Would the symbols merely drop to the floor.

"after the stuff that was said"
the stuff a few people said to be noted. a few, may have seemed like a lot but it was really just a few in the long scheme of things. Punishing many because of the few is not something I'm fond of. That is also giving out a wrong vibe considering this event is about pride. And I was really annoyed by some of the things said by people either in MOGII are talking in place of someone in MOGII... I don't remember whom said what... But there are ways to talk to people being stubborn and sheltered and stuff without insinuating people are stupid, bigots, and/or are told things that could actually be offensive in some case. If I hear it is cishet day everyday on the Internet one more time I will kick a puppy. And I love puppies. People might not be able to melt me into a ooey gooey mush but show me a puppy epescially wrinkly ones (shar pes omg) and I will melt lmao. The thing is it might be cishet everyday. But I bet people don't really know the person they are saying that too. They could be disabled. They could be racial, ethnic, or religious minority. They could have mental illness. They could even just be really low on the socioeconomic status level of things... Even being a woman can be rough as being paid less for doing the same damn thing as a man is insulting too..... Or having big organizations *cough*I'm looking at you "the church"*cough* in regard to what we do with our bodies is offensive... So if one is gonna say it is cishet day .. please realize it is white anglo saxon christian cismale het day first and foremost... That argument is too paper thing to actually be used.
Also, being told to educate yourself is an offensive thing to be told not matter for the cause. I think people should try and educate on a more personal and understanding/patient level rather than just get short with people and be like "u r wrong. go read a book and learn about xyx, moron"... no one said those exact words, but idk, it was just really really bad how some people reacted and it is like it is ok for one side to react poorly because hey it their month and stuff.. but if you are part of the majority you are a screw up and terrible and all of the people who are the majority (again, just meaning sexuality/gender-wise, the majority means more than cis het in actuality.....)will have to suffer because of those select people's actions.
I have mental health issues and it was extremely strenuous seeing the whole fiasco. Is it impossible for a mod to lock a thread because omg there was thing in the Teo thread that escalalted a lot by the time I posted it should have been shut down. I mean, yeah the peope were wrong, but it because a witch hunt at some points.
On a side note, I hope this site can have an event on diversity from the ethnicity if not also racial point of things... (idk about religion but there is a Ramadan pet this month so I guess it wouldn't be unheard of for this site) I know that is potentially treading on unstable ground, but not any less than a pride event.... Correct me if I'm wrong though... ^^;;;

On a side note, could the trees maybe be common instead? People have lives and the 13th would make it only like 6 days to find trees. Not even a full week....

Tequila Mockingbird (#64472)
Not going to go into the whole horrible "us versus them" mud-slinging that is slowly poisoning this event to the point where the ally HA wear had to be cancelled.
But on the "could we get other events" part... This event was created with (as far as I recall) 6 slash bots. Other slash bot events are in the waiting with a very long waiting list, but in theory, you could make a minority event in regard to POC. You'd just have to either buy existing slots or a whole lot of slots if you'd want it to happen within the next two years.

I've been inactive on here for ages, but I still check in every now and then - and seeing this, I'm actually coming back to participate a little, because I love this even so much! Thank you, Aywas, you rock!! ♥
