No one here is trying to say that you are a bad person if you voted for the theme. There's also no reason to inhibit calm discussions......................if people want to air out complaints, let them. Also, I don't understand why you're bringing up the fact that talking about it makes the people who suggested/voted for the theme uncomfortable. If this had been brought up in the voting period, there'd still be people might feel bad about voting for the theme? Uncomfortable feelings and discussions are a part of life and unless someone's being offensive, these discussions shouldn't be shut down.the voting thing has nothing to do with my comment tho. idk what were you trying to sayThe point of posting you the poll was to inform you how it came to having that theme, since you are not familiar with it and wasn't playing while the voting was up and didn't have a chance to vote or comment your concerns earlier.All theme suggestions that enter the poll are revised previously, offensive, unclear or repeating ones get discarded. If anyone posts any concern regarding any suggestion, PB, SMs and BP take it into account before making the final poll. No one posted or sent any concern regarding Bloody Valentine, no even players who suddenly found it gross, so it made its way to the poll and received the most votes.The fact it received the most votes probably doesn't lie in that some psycho lovers killers voted for it. Most likely it was voted because it's February and Valentine day so it fits, but at the same time it's different than typical romantic and saccharine Valentine themes we had in past few years that became boring and repetitive.Also as stated before, a lot of bimbos and himbos here have a background in emo and goth subcultures so this theme was appealing.Blaming this theme now means blaming and calling out all players who actually voted for it and it is not really Ok. Next time when any of you have any concern regarding some there feel free to post it in public or to message PB, your SM or any of FGs (bimbo police). Such tirades afterwards are pointless and only make the person who suggested the theme and those who voted uncomfortable.EDIT: All of you who are deeply concerned, disturbed and touched by this theme you don't have to enter PBFC nor to to vote. There is a skip button. So entering and and voting are not obligatory. Consider this as a friendly reminder.- Defensive? What for? For informing new player on how picking theme works? For facing you with facts and possible negative impacts? Ok, if being unbiased and straightforward is what you consider as 'defensive', alright, let it be.- I wanted to air different point of view. Is that forbidden?- Because it does make people uncomfortable and we already had a chance to see it, a few times.- If that was brought up in the period while players were giving suggestions, before the poll, maybe this theme would have been discarded and wouldn't ended up in the poll. Pretty simple, so no one would have felt uncomfortable. Some themes indeed were discarded if they were offensive, disturbing, repeating and such. You are at least older player and were member of PH so you know how it works. No need for switching thesis and twisting the point the way it suits you if aim for open and calm discussion :)- Uncomfortable feelings and discussions are a part of life - Yes, that's why we are talking about it. Player got informed how things are working and she can report her concerns regarding themes next time. Same as you and anyone else. Something bad about it?
