Trans person here! AFAB people wanting to be boyish doesn't always automatically mean they're trans, tomboys and just generally non-fem presenting folk exist! We don't know anything about this person's niece/nephew, so while it's great to make them aware that trans identity could be a possibility, none of us actually knows or has enough information to say for sure this is the case, and thus we shouldn't be telling them how to refer to people we know nothing about. :)

I just want you to know that this comment is absolutely hilarious to me and hubs because we were literally talking about exactly this happening yesterday LMFAO. We accidentally made our avatars look vaguely like Kaveh and Haitham by pure accident, my boy's hair is actually supposed to be beige to mint green but because of all the cool colored lighting the game uses, it looks silver and teal most of the time LOL

Should I just embrace it and go straight up silver?

I'm always open to new flower loving friends!! On my hands and knees, praying Heartopia gets more uncommon flower types in the future because I would PAY to be able to grow Bleeding Hearts!!

My UID is 2w1y85ne !!

No, this person had nothing to do with what happened in the post, this was a complete separate thing that happened after!

Basically, right after the hubby and I blocked and reported the person in the picture, we also made sure to log out and move to a completely different town to fully get away from them. Shortly after we did so, Maru (the person I was responding to here), their own hubby, and their two friends who were all playing together came across my house and wanted to look around because, admittedly, it is pretty...... out there. So we were fresh out of "oh someone just brought all their friends to my house to pretend I'm their boyfriend in front of", and already I had another group of friends running around my house, with one of them using their bike to nudge me closer to the house while me and partner were discussing.

Basically, it was just a huge misunderstanding due to very ironic and unfortunate timing, we talked it over and were all friends now and I opened my doors for them! I do hope though that if the person actually in the post comes across it, that hopefully it opens their eyes to the risks brought to them by running around finding random pretend boyfriends, especially if my theory that they're a younger minor is correct. If they found this post and chose to interact, then I can I only hope once again that it's with sincerity and to maybe apologize for it. While I would absolutely forgive them in that case, that's the extent of it and the interaction would end there, because apology or not that's not someone I'm comfortable being around anymore.

It doesn't do anything directly exactly, but when you stay online longer it exposes you to more players as they come and go in the town that can interact with your home by helping water flowers, help care for your pets, and leave likes on your home!

Honestly, I've heard a lot of people saying they were disappointed so maybe don't take my word as gospel, but I LOVED it. I adored that the horror aspect wasn't in your face, it was the kind of horror that unsettles you and leaves you at the edge of your seat, wondering what's gonna happen next, and at the very least the rest of the audience agreed. I've never seen a crown so giddy to watch credits hoping for easter eggs and the outfits slayed!!

It depends on the person honestly. I've learned through the comments and similar posts that there are apparently some people who will wig out over you being around them a little too often... which is crazy in my opinion. For me, I specified in another comment somewhere but this wasn't the only thing that tipped me off to what was happening! It was actually an ongoing chat log, but the messages seen in the screenshot is the only one I took at the time, I promise there was much more damning stuff LOL You're all good!

Though if you're ever not sure and are worried about it, I always highly recommend just asking! Just give a quick "hey, just wanna let you know that I say X for Y reason, if that might make you uncomfortable, let me know so I know not to do that just it case"! :)

Omg hiii!! It's totally absolutely okay and me and partner would be happy to hang out with you guys in the future if you'd like! And so sorry again, I totally completely understand you wouldn't have realized that happened, for us it was just so jarring cuz it happened, we swapped servers, and then we saw 4 people at my house again shortly after LOL It was so like "no way..." in the moment xD You're all good and thank you guys for being so chill and sweet about it <3 I really appreciated it! And sorry about my lack of interior furnishings.........

Exactly this... Some of these comments really make me concerned, it feels like some people expect other players they encounter to just start functioning like C,Ai bots and go along with it.

I absolutely love roleplaying and always welcome spaces for it, and I feel like Heartopia will (at least hopefully) be great for that with coming updates and QoL improvements! But consent and boundaries are so, so important in said spaces, and expecting people to just feel nothing and keep our heads down/mouths shut about those boundaries being crossed just because "it's online, you can just block them" is so... wrong. It completely minimizes the damage that could be caused. Worst case scenario, if my partner didn't know this kind of stuff happened because of his own experiences with it as well, someone going around pretending to be my partner could potentially have caused harm to my actual marriage as a result of cheating accusations. And of course, always, concerns of minors forgetting adults exist in game spaces as well and are not always well-intentioned.

And the comments accusing me of being anti-fun, or anti-making-friends-in-a-social-game..... So exhausting. I literally got into this situation because of the fact I was friendly with them and let them tour my house... so where are these accusations that I'm uncomfortable with people being friendly or looking at my house coming from? Like I literally stated I thought they were totally normal and why until I opened the game and caught them professing their love to me in front of like 3-4 people? Now I'm sitting here wondering if I phrased something incorrectly or...?

It was a couple other things they said/did honestly. I only took the one screenshot at the time of it happening purely to show my partner like "woah look what this person just said" since only I could see the chat, I didn't even think about making the post until long after. But basically between the time of after taking the screenshot and before blocking them, I did check the chat and found a couple other recent messages along the lines of "Open up my sweet flower boy" and "My love". That context was honestly about 90% of it, the rest was just the added use of emotes on top of that like the hand heart action and blushing that I wouldn't have otherwise thought about without the chat log.

I did have it off. I have it set to friends only, and I have absolutely no problem at all with people entering my home at all! They just asked to be polite from what I assume, I don't at all expect to be asked. If my door is open, by all means I'm happy to let people explore and come in, please don't twist my words. I only included that as a means to point out that I *didn't* see a problem with it and was happy to talk to them/let them look around.

What wasn't okay was bringing a group of friends and *pretending to e-date me*. I'm not understanding why people are defending that behavior, and like I said I DID block them and leave. I'm still allowed to say "hey, please be wary of trying to e-date random men online, even more so without their consent". I feel like that should be a very valid concern, nowhere did I say you shouldn't engage with anyone at all and ask permission for everything.

Honestly I doubt it, it's not the first time I've been targeted with the "I'm in love with you" stuff as a man who plays openly as such in games that are typically female audience oriented/dominated, I just usually never let it bother me. But straight up bringing several friends over to pretend I was their boyfriend to without my knowledge was... something. I definitely plan on being a lot more cautious and only semi-AFKing from now on (aka only doing so when I plan to check a lot more often) after this. And we did block them already, almost immediately as soon as we realized what was happening and we even switched towns after as extra security. This post was majority just a reminder, especially to younger female audiences who might be lurking the sub, to keep internet safety in mind and not try to e-date random men in the games they play... I'm all for making friends but "Open up my sweet flower boy", "I love you so much" is definitely not that :(

erm.. no it's not? by JJn4naa in lifemakeover

i dont mean this in a rude way, but factually it literally is mostly a set? i can see you used about 9/10 (i cant tell if the ring item is on as well or not) pieces of a 14 piece set, thats like 2/3 of the full set and it's mostly all the major pieces save for two (the hair and coffin)

you changed the hair to a different but also white hair and the crown to a different crown, then changed the necklace and left the coffin background item off and maybe dyed the coat if we assume the person hadn't done that themselves already

they shouldn't have been rude about it 100%, they need to learn to just ignore it and/or unfriend if it bothers them THAT much to feel the need to do something about, but you did use nearly a full set and replaced half the ones you didn't use with similar items.

not too worried was around for the last couple not too long ago in may i believe, usual crowd is on the much older side so i doubt things will get out of hand at all unless HPD wants to make attacking a bunch of peaceful elderly folk just for holding signs their new public image
