I think that the “Chav “ one is actually a british slang word for people who stereotypical have a Staffordshire bull terrier. Whilst the term can be offensive to some, I do think this one is merely a light hearted poke.

The descriptions of the first two still mention being broken, even though the revamp made them not broken anymore. The description of the third one can still apply to a wand that isn't broken, but there's a slight mistake, it should say "it looks as if".

I'll add them to the list!

I noticed the thread for the survival items was locked and I checked, the descriptions have been changed! So I took them off of our list here.

pretty sure is a reference to Raj from Big Bang Theory. They're his signature drink on the show, and he has a absolutely absurd level of shyness around women. It's the first thing I think of when I see that item with that description, but I do understand that without the context of the show it can seem pretty insensitive.

I added it! And yeah I agree, it's not obvious that it's a reference to the show

this item description is oddly hostile, not necessarily offensive but.. really caught me off guard when I fed it to a pet. :x other descriptions that imply you're "stupid" for x reason related to the item aren't nearly this bad imo.

These items made the list already (I posted on discord first) but in case you like others are wondering what's wrong with the lifelike lains?:

Quote by me
The item description for the entire line of Lifelike Lain Dolls is a reference (and nearly direct quote) to"Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" from Disney&;s Song of the South.
</p>
<p>
Since its original release, Song of the South has remained a subject of controversy. Some critics have described the film&;s portrayal of African Americans as racist and offensive, maintaining that the black vernacular and other qualities are stereotypes. In addition, the plantation setting is sometimes criticized as idyllic and glorified.

Misleading warning about mutating pets if used often. I researched this item before buying one to see if there was any truth to it, and everything I could find suggested that no, there isn't. After many uses, I haven't seen any unexpected changes. It just feeds your pet. No random mutations to be worried OR excited about.


HONK!

The Lifelike Lains seem to be changed already? I see no reference to Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah in them anymore

The item description is the lyrics of the song.

I'd like to add as explained in this thread.

To quote:

Quote
With people refusing to wear masks claiming they don&;t work, this looks a lot like an anti-mask message, and while I don&;t find it offensive or anything, given the release of the new face mask items I don&;t think that&;s the message Subeta wants to put out there.
It was apparently released during survival and is referring to the mask being ineffective against zombie viruses, but it just seems iffy without the context. People have suggested just adding something about zombies for clarification, rather than changing the description completely.

I've added the items to the list! Sorry for the delay.

I didn't see what the item originally was, but if you'd still like to bring it up, I can add it in. I'm not going to decide whether it needs to be changed or not, this post is for the staff to reference to make that decision themselves. If you're not comfortable with bringing it back up, that's understandable!

  1. "Sumatran Rat Monkey" is a really nasty, bloodthirsty being from a Peter Jackson movie (before he became a household name with 'Lord Of The Rings') called 'Dead Alive' or 'Braindead'.

"Does this look like a well-maintained frontage?" (quote from said movie).

It's ultra gory and disgusting, but there are plenty of cheezy moments in it too.

I think it could make an interesting future challenger, or on a much lesser scale a Pet Pet.

  1. "Waldorf Salad" is from a 'Fawlty Towers' episode in which a customer really really wants said food dish and gets more and more annoyed as Basil gets more and more outrageous as he tries to make one. Maybe just an item, maybe something you could make in the lab combining several ingredients to create said salad, there being quite a few mentioned in the episode.

  2. I had to buy some sort of henley for a quest. I forget what color it was, but it was X (where X is a color) Henley. Don Henley was a member of The Eagles, I just think it'd be a cool in-joke for Henley/Eagles fans.

Love is all you need.
