moonbun got a reaction from spazzy_child in Returning member/back from Neopets hiatusHello! My name is Carly, you can call me Bun for short if you'd like.
I was on the TDN Forum a while back when I got back into Neopets, but not very active. I've been playing Neopets on and off (and I stress the off) since 2005. School has me really busy though so I tend to play most during the summer and sadly usually give it up during the school year. As it is summer, I have been playing every day and I am trying to pick up where I left off. Since I have a habit of taking long hiatuses I am not as accomplished as I wish I was!
I collect avatars and I am starting a collection of Halloween/Spooky items, and I am currently getting into the Battledome since I love what they have done with it (and I need the avatars from the Obelisk skirmishes!)
My favorite pets are Poogles and Kacheeks, I am hoping to paint my Poogle (or a new Poogle) grey, but that's not currently at the top of my to-do list. Currently I am collecting items in my SDB, an avatar I have long avoided since I did not want to deal with having so many items! But it's been an adventure, stalking the Money Tree every day, and picking up items for my new gallery. :evo:
Anyways I missed talking about Neopets with people since I lost my old guild, which has since disappeared, so I thought the forum would be a good place to connect with people and get help/advice.

moonbun got a reaction from minniemeggie in Help with my Horror Movie Gallery...A Cup O Slime (or anything else green and slimy) would be great for Troll 2
Mysterious Draik Mask for Halloween
Halloween Decorative Banner could be for Halloween or Trick 'r Treat
And idk if it's really a horror movie, depends how loosely you want to define it, but a Niptor is perfect for Jurassic Park :-)
I'll try to think of more!
Abysmal Window reminds me of Insidious (I'm not really sure why, maybe that's just me)
Effigy Play Doll Blair Witch Project
Black Velvet Cloak very vampire-y, could be used for Dracula or Nosferatu or something else
Corn Field Background Children of the Corn
Clawed Glove this is NC but it is PERFECT for Nightmare on Elm Street
Sparky reminds me of a Gremlin...

moonbun reacted to Welcome Back Apathy in Yes All WomenWith regards to the Not All Men thing--
When we bash "Not All Men", it's NOT when the "not all men" thing was used in response to grouping all men with murderers. If someone calls you a murderer just because you're a man, you're free to use the argument. But that's not how it's being used. It seems a woman cannot have a conversation about rape, or about anything without some man taking things personally.
Case in point:
Woman: I feel really uncomfortable when I'm walking to the bus stop and men catcall me.
Man: I'm sorry SOME MEN do that to you, but you have to understand that not all men do that. It hurts my feelings that you said all men say that.
Notice that in the example I mentioned above, it does not say it is all men. It just says that the woman doesn't like it when it happens.
This was a made-up example, but I remember a case where a guy had fired a woman because he said he couldn't control himself around her. One woman said "If a man cannot control himself around women, what's to stop him from raping his patients?" TWENTY MEN jumped down her throat for not specifying that she was talking about one man. She then got a bunch of rape threats for having said it--from the very men who claimed that not all men are rapists.
Not All Men derails conversations, period. Nobody thinks it's all men, so it's a pointless argument that takes the focus off of actual victims. To even HAVE the "not all men" conversation is demeaning to the intelligences of men and women alike.
