I cannot BELIEVE what I just read...

Neopets likes to call itself a family friendly site.  We can't type cucumber into the neoboards because the sexual term cum is in it, despite neopets having 23 cucumber items.  The plot just used the term FROTTAGE RUBBING.  I cannot be the only player who looked at that and said what the heck, since the common way of using frottage is not a CHARCOAL or PENCIL rubbing of something, but rubbing in a sexual situation.  

Am I the only one rather bewildered by that?  Especially given that the book you earn in the chapter is called frottage finesse?

Honestly, I didn't know about the word until the Neoboards lit up. Though they only implied the word, for fear of repercussions if they typed the word. But yeah, saying "let me get a charcoal rubbing of this" would've been a better way to go. Then again, and not to start a debate here, but when I returned to the neoboards when the plot began, after literally a DECADE away from just the neoboards. I was SHOCKED to find all these sexual identity declarations in signatures and such. Sorry, but that doesn't constitute "family friendly" imho either. So I guess I can't be terribly surprised by their poor choice of words for the comic nor the book. Even a decade ago, to HINT at something sexual on the neoboards would've gotten you silenced or banned. I dunno when things changed, but man, crazy what can happen in 10 short years.
