	:rolls: their site, their rules.

	True Colours of Destiny :rolls: their site, their rules. Essentially yes. But they're still a business and a service. Not catering to their users is a bad business move. This is essentially shown when you have people taking the money they would spend on Gaia Cash, buying cigarettes, and mailing them to Gaia HQ. Also, it was their site their rules with the ***** word ban. They still changed it after massive continual backlash.

	This is likely a legal issue. Some lawyer mayhaps decided that this counts as marketting or at least increasing appeal of tobacco to minors, or they were having trouble finding a sponsor due to it. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did, to be honest.

	Fiddlers Green This is likely a legal issue. Some lawyer mayhaps decided that this counts as marketting or at least increasing appeal of tobacco to minors, or they were having trouble finding a sponsor due to it. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did, to be honest. Sometimes I honestly think they should just raise the age limit. The average age of Gaians I meet is around 18, and I know I haven't met a representative sample, but Gaia was never meant to me a children's networking site. Back when it had anime links on the front page most of them were of anime decidedly not for kids. Most of the older (as in have been on the site longer) users were of college age back in 2004, and I think I was around 3 months off of being 17. Nevermind that last I checked, you could portray smoking in PG-13 movies. And really, that argument is very weak when we've got items like the nightmare and alruna's rose, which are by comparison more violent and sexualised. I forget if it's the rose or some other Alruna themed item, but you can get her in bondage shackles, an activity also illegal for those under 18 I might add. In all fairness I'm anti-smoking myself, but I don't understand the drive to remove it from media lest the impressionable youth think it's cool. I've never been remotely motivated to smoke because I saw anyone else do it, least of all a movie star. I have however used unlit cigarettes or fake cigarettes in cos-play, and given the amount of cos-play that goes on in this site, I can understand that other people would want to as well. And the *** word ban was a legal issue as well, with several parents groups threatening to have Gaia shut down for unsafe guidelines for minors, and it wasn't just Funliver, and yet Gaia still, after years of backlash, not only removed the ban but apologised for it in the first place. I'm just hoping it doesn't take years this time as well, because I remember people getting account suspensions for debating against *** because they used the word.

	I'm not in a bad mood... just sad. I wish that I didn't have so much negative energy, but that seems impossible about now.

	****** been bad, anxiety-wise. Tonight's going to be worse, depression-wise. The meds are no help in an extreme downward spiral. I don't see my therapist again for more than a week and don't see my psych until late next month. And I'm visiting my family for Thanksgiving. My sister, who's an ableist ****, my brother who's even worse, my dad, who can't comprehend my personal-space needs because of HIS disability, and my mum who basically tells me to shut up and play **** **** **** **** **** god for my anime collection, which should allow me to get through tonight, at least, in twentysome minute intervals. And for my cats. Still. ******.

	I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. While I have never had a "family" Thanksgiving that resembles a Norman Rockwell painting, I do have Jerome and Carolee, my Nana, twenty or so other people from RCR and lots of good food and holiday traditions.

	Guest at the store: May I ask what your ethnicity is? Me: My heritage is Korean and German. Guest at the store:...YOU'RE WHITE. Me: eek ... confused ... stare .... I'm starting to really hate that question. There's only been one or two people in the past 8 months that haven't said something mildly insulting (IMO) about it when I tell them. Is it fair to just start telling people it's none of their business?
