O____O this news is from Aug 25? Lol I enter everyday but didn't notice it

August 29, 2017, 12:17 pm by

RIGHT? DON'T TOUCH lol

totally agree. They could replace Keith with King or Queen or some reference to him... I mean, those items were already here. Even if the art was updated to represent Keith's/Amy Lee's/Nicole's face a little bit less, but the essence should remain the same.

This update is a big no for me, I'd love the NPCs plushies, but if they were new items and the older ones really revamped, not replaced... The item ID is also messed up... Oh geez, this update...

i cant believe keiths frickin dead

Yeah, that. That's the reason I tend to avoid forums here now. Heck of an introduction to the Subeta community, that was. Anyway, I do stand by what I said, even if I got tore apart for saying it. As someone else in the comments said, the bug cakes were awesome. I don't know why zombie food can't be more interesting and creative like that, instead of a jar full of poop. As someone also said, since when do zombies eat poop? I don't recall that they tear open the colon and eat the contents of that? I thought they went more for the content of the skull. But, I'm sure I'll be informed I'm wrong about that. And, if that stuff isn't here for zombies to eat, then what is it here for?

August 28, 2017, 1:53 pm by

No, I think those items are different for the reason you stated. It's mostly just edible pus, poop, vomit, drool, etc from Half Baked that don't feel like they make sense in the context of zombies or anything else on the site. The items really don't even make my stomach turn like some others have mentioned, so that's certainly not why I brought it up. It's not even about being politically correct or avoiding offending anyone like someone else mentioned, it's not even prudishness - those items just don't actually feel like a relevant or cohesive part of anything.

Mostly they just remind me of that stage that very young kids usually go through where they're fascinated/highly amused with bodily functions and want to talk/joke about it constantly. Some of them never really seem to grow out of it, and I guess that's the impression I've always gotten with this line of items.

I've been on this site for almost 11 years, and in all of that time I've consistently felt like our community is a lot more mature than the ones you'd find on other pet sites. I probably wouldn't bat an eyelash if I saw these items on Neopets just because their target audience always seemed to be a lot younger. It just makes these items feel incredibly out of place, in my opinion. Somehow these items just don't feel like they "fit" with the rest of the site, but I'm not sure how to describe why beyond what I've already said.

August 28, 2017, 1:40 pm by

Im all for moving any of those as you guys call them 'gross' or bodily function foods to zombie shops, but phasing out things with eyes/bones/brains and stuff would suck. I think the designs for those are so creative and I have a organ related gallery/zombie ish pet Ive been collecting for.

Sure the poo thing is a bit more out there, but I know people who collect those as well.

I agree they seem weird in the food market, so just move them? Not as many people who have issues with those sorts of things go in to the underground zombie shops I would guess. So they would be less easily seen/weirdly mixed in to real food/etc.

August 28, 2017, 1:34 pm by

Another 30+ user here, don't you dare change the food. I've been saving gross stuff and all poop items for a tc for forever now. If you don't like them, just collect chocolate stuff instead. Ugh.

August 28, 2017, 12:45 pm by

Do you think food items with things like eyeballs, guts and other body parts in them be removed as well? Because that's quite a big chunk of items that would have to go. And zombies don't just eat brains, they eat any sort of human flesh so it makes sense for them to exist on the site.

August 27, 2017, 10:50 am by

The Chaotic Coastal Doll Plushie is still called a Keith doll in its description. :D

August 27, 2017, 12:12 am by

Bigtime agree with phasing out the bodily function food - I can justify the stuff that's brains and such as zombie food, but some of them are just stomach-turning. I've always kind of told myself it's just my own sensitivities about food, but it's been nice to read these comments and see I'm not the only one??

...anyway, these new plushies are cute as hell, 10/10

August 26, 2017, 10:58 pm by

RE: Poop items

I don't expect them to all be phased out but I do agree with someone else's comment here that it makes the site's maturity level seem weirdly low, but I don't think we've had really "edgy" items like that come out for quite a while? And the newest zombie food (I do think zombies can do better than poop imo) was those beautiful bug cake items, which where so creative! As long as the site is moving forward creatively I think it's fine.

I mean... we could probably move poopy peanut butter to the lost skelleton or just, anywhere out of the food market haha.

August 26, 2017, 9:26 pm by

August 26, 2017, 9:15 pm by

Understood. :) I personally have zero problems with poop and pus, but I can definitely see the turn off. :P Though in my mind having these items actually fits more on an adult themed site, as opposed to something for kids.

Thankfully all the Keith items were before my time so I can't be bothered much by that change.

August 26, 2017, 9:04 pm by

Not at all! I love zombies and I could totally understand keeping the brain items for that reason. However I've watched/played a heck of a lot of zombie-based entertainment and have never heard of zombies eating pus and poop.

Just like not everyone agreed with the Keith item change, not everyone will agree with changing these food items. That's fine. Ultimately it's not up to me though, I'm only explaining my thoughts behind it.

August 26, 2017, 8:52 pm by

Do you want to get rid of the zombies too? How can a zombie eat a Strawberry Filled Pastry Sandwich? It needs braaaaains.

August 26, 2017, 6:28 pm by

oh please don't change poop to chocolate. I'm a reasonably mature 35 year old. I don't come here with expectations for every item to be politically correct and offensive to none. Hubby saw me scrolling through food related achievements recently and bust up laughing that I was only a couple poop foods from an achievement for my poor pet - bless her she'll eat anything for that gourmand....

August 26, 2017, 2:40 pm by

Are we getting rid of fecal mater foodstuffs too? Zombies deserve a bit better. items in Half baked make my 30 year old stomach flip XD

August 26, 2017, 2:16 pm by

With all these comments, Keith must be feeling pretty loved.

August 26, 2017, 1:11 pm by

Awww I know keith said ages ago he wanted his stuff to be phased out but I'm kinda sad about it! :'(

August 26, 2017, 9:33 am by

Yes, I remember seeing your thread about such items last year and some of the backlash that went along with it. That's why I was hesitant to even mention it.

I just think that it makes it very hard to refer people who aren't younger than 12 and at this point, everyone in my life that I could potentially refer are adults who aren't amused by poop, pus, earwax, maggots, etc. One of my opening statements while attempting to refer friends/family was always that Subeta is more targeted towards adults, and thus we have a more mature/open/much less filtered forum than most of the other popular pet sites. But I just feel awkward now when I try to use that statement. If Subeta was truly more targeted towards adults and the community was more mature than most other pet sites, would we really have an entire shop dedicated to bodily function foods?

Many of the items wouldn't even need to have a drastic image makeover like these plushies got. In a lot of cases, even changing the name & description would go a very long way. For example: Poop Filled Pastry Sandwich -> Chocolate Filled Pastry Sandwich Brain Filled Pastry Sandwich -> Strawberry Filled Pastry Sandwich Earwax Twisted Cinnamon Pastry -> Lemon Twisted Cinnamon Pastry Bone Bits Brownie -> White Chocolate Chip Brownie Maggot Pastry -> Cream Puff

If we're finally moving beyond the items that represent a 14-year-old Keith, perhaps its time to address these items as well.

I would like more of an exp!anation on this. Are all Keith items to be removed? I was young when my mom and younger sister got into this site, and was a fan of his in that time, even though I was a WoW player, not a virtual pet player. I didn't get into pet sites until later, but I was a fan back in the beginning; right after Xanga, when Myspace was the main thing; when Keith, and his open mind, were so prominent. It influenced a lot of my decisions growing up. In fact, it was the only thing making me remember Subeta after all of these years. (25 nao btw) I know that Keith hasn't been a part of Subeta for a while... But the North remembers.... Will his presensd

rip Keith items

August 26, 2017, 4:37 am by

I don't have a problem with revamping/replacing old items that feel out of place, but I hope y'all don't clear them all out entirely. I always love seeing the stuff that's so Teen. It's endearing and a little reminder of how far the site's come.

... that said, embarrassing old self-insert plushies are definitely something I'd get rid of it if it were me, too :P

August 26, 2017, 4:36 am by

anyone have the old versions to do a before/after comparison? :o

August 26, 2017, 4:04 am by

Thank you anonymous gifter. Much appreciate this!!!!

August 26, 2017, 3:55 am by

Pooh! that screws over my pet's Amy Lee collection! Not liking this much.

August 26, 2017, 2:52 am by

Welp, there goes one of my Pets' TC Items and one item from my holiday gallery.

Please, PLEASE, don't touch the Dragarth with the Keith Hair! :( That fits well in one of my pets' TCs as well as that Chaotic Coastal Keith Doll! If they have to be updated, just update the name like you did the birthday cakes!

August 26, 2017, 2:07 am by

The new plushies are cute, but I am not happy about having to go through my holiday galleries and pick out the plushies that no longer fit in those catagories :( The Keith items are going to be missed!

August 26, 2017, 1:19 am by

I like the plushies and art but am really not liking replacing items that could of just been renamed :'(

August 26, 2017, 12:51 am by

This does not sit well with me. Keith is Subeta. Subeta is Keith. Keith being visible and part of the site helped hook me on Subeta. It made this place like a side family. Now I feel sad.

August 26, 2017, 12:10 am by

I completely agree. When I was new not that long ago, and even still, those items don't sit right. At all. But, I've been informed that my opinion is wrong and that all of Subeta loves their poop-butter and pus icing.

August 26, 2017, 12:07 am by

I'm so sad about the silly Amy Lee and Nicole Richie plushies being changed. If y'all change the Bufy plushie I'm gonna be mad - I just spent an ungodly sum on one of those!

August 25, 2017, 11:40 pm by

I wish we could have the option to keep the keith related plushies. I understand wanting to grow up but NOSTALGIA!!!!! ;_;

August 25, 2017, 11:36 pm by

They are cute, but..... Keith plushies.... :(

August 25, 2017, 11:31 pm by

the Chaotic Coastal Keith Doll was changed quite a while back to the Chaotic Coastal Doll Plushie, and also the Chaotic Umbrella of Poking.. They still look the same.. but we all know who they represent.. Muahahaha!!!

August 25, 2017, 11:23 pm by

:c M--my Amy Lee Plushie...has turned into a hot dad. (I--I'm kind of happy? But...but...Amy Lee. D: I feel like my childhood just got punched in the gut. Ahhh, well. So it goes, and so it grows.)

August 25, 2017, 11:08 pm by

Haa thank you for the responses guys! I totally missed the comments that were quoted ^_^; I feel Keith on this though... if I also had a website that was my business, I'd not want all the stuff I thought was super cool when I was 14 hanging around either lol

August 25, 2017, 10:31 pm by

: I agree with the Neopets thing. I was actually on it for almost 5 years, then the site kicked me out because I was using a friends' mothers' email as my starter because I kept having issues with rememberng passwords/mysteriously non-existant usernames, and the fact that I was 8!...With a retro Macontosh -- one of those cool rounded and colored ones that sometimes had a clear back that you could see the awesome circuits and everything! Still have BOTH/ALL THREE/ I DON'T KNOW in our possession:P 13 years have gone by now, it's been roughly 8 years since I abandoned that game, had two active usernames until that email code crap happened, and to think I had finally obtained a Hissi in one of them. That code thing was the last straw; I was constantly frustrated at how hard it was to even FINISH ONE DAMN QUEST, or even to get enough points and stuff in events. What kinda kid would know how to conplete all those plotline puzzles?! The petpet and petpetpet worlds were fine, but it lost its appeal with all those SUPER EXCLUSIVE items that cost a crapload of real money to acheive.... I found this world to have an endless supply of pure joy and awe, and a MUCH easier way of expanding your reach. It may have taken me around 5 years to officially get past the 2,000,000 sp mark, but it was well worth it! And the CSC is now MUCH more obtainable ( I came around about 3 years before that even existed!). Aaaaaaaannnnyyyyyyywaaay, I just wanted to spew out some of that personal history there.....sorry if I broke something in your head!

August 25, 2017, 10:21 pm by

Kinda messed up how hard it is to get these obviously better items which will be in high demand now because these are ancient items...

August 25, 2017, 9:50 pm by

Aw Keith, we were all dweeby 14 year olds at one time. Your 14 year old self is an integral part of this site.

August 25, 2017, 9:42 pm by

I'm sorry, WHAT?!!!!! You did NOT just ruin all the Kieth plushies with modern NPCs! Those things took me me 8 YEARS to collect what I have now, and you just RUINED ALL THE OLDIE ART!!!! It was one of my 'american dreams' to finish that collection one day, and now all for naught-- and I thought there were New NPC plushies already! Other Kieth was on of my first vintage plushies I ever found, with Phoenix close in line....now it isn't so.... What is the point of 'updating' if they aren't even what they once were? The way I think of the Keiths is that they are the Subetan versions of rare beany bears or male American Girls. Yeah, that's right, I went there

August 25, 2017, 8:48 pm by

Are the other user icon plushies also going to be changed? Or is Keith losing his unique icon? You have to do one of those options since it bugs me that the set is incomplete now! ;)

August 25, 2017, 8:43 pm by

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I have a pet I plan to theme around 4th-wall breaking things here on Subeta. You are crushing my abilities to do that super effectively. I still have screen shots from Elwood's rants though.... you can never take those from me!

August 25, 2017, 8:37 pm by

Oh man I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the White Tiger Plushie in the list until I realized it had just been renamed XD

August 25, 2017, 8:36 pm by

Now we just need to figure out what the Chaotic Coastal Keith Doll might become. :p And the signed Amy Lee poster lmao

This is pretty nice to see the NPCs getting love, though, and it jives with site theme of being self-contained!

August 25, 2017, 8:24 pm by

Sad, makes me sad. I only had two, yes TWO items to go and I would have had everything Keith in my gallery.

Please at least leave one item of his?

mopes off to dismantle Keith gallery

August 25, 2017, 8:21 pm by

Um...actually Keith made a post earlier on here about it....

Keith's Post: 08/25/17 5:16 pm Staff OMG FINALLY THANK GOD GOODBYE PLUSHIES OF 14 YEARS OLD ME
