“Pls take ur head out of ur own ass and buy some bimbo dollars” is the funniest sentence I’ve ever seen and I’m going to incorporate it into my daily vocabulary
Honestly this site could have worked if they leaned in on the satire side and didn't actually take it seriously, made it 18+ from the beginning, and had somebody sane in charge
Yeah when I first heard the game's premise I thought I could definitely see that working then 6ish min in when the original company gave up rights for the English version it turned to that's probably not going to be good in the long run
The creators spinning it both ways is like Rockstar saying GTA deserves a Nobel peace prize for teaching kids that doing crime gets you shot by cops lol
The french site is clearly better run than the english version. You can literally see warnings at 5:17 that say "this game parodies society, this surgery is not something to take lightly"
I used to play on the french website, it was clearly a satire (from the pov of what you see in-game, I did not experience the forums) Sounds like the english side is icky...
I'd argue that if you have to keep reminding people it's satire, it makes the satire worse. A good satire site should either be very obviously satire (which this is) or at most have a single disclaimer when entering, not constant reminders. Kind of takes the bite out.
@@Xbob42 Unfortunately some people are too dumb to realize that so to avoid lawsuits and controversy, they have to plaster that warning all over the place.
I think that’s what made it so cool. I would 100% play this now for the cute outfits and aesthetic but the satire is genuinely funny. It’s a great parody of early 2000s diet culture.
@our hero ITS FINALLY HERE! I've waited for this day ever since I was a small boy, raising my bimbos on bimboland and ratioing youngboys on twitter. Finally this video has made it. Please give it a watch
honestly with how many "kids' dress up games" these days are poorly disguised fetish art (all the foot, pregnancy, etc elsa stuff) this might almost look tame
@WxttweHxadpxtCxnnxoisshxuw I'm not a producer, I just do covers djdhdhdh I picked my username before I got into vocaloid, it stands for smth totally different. only after I got into vocaloid did I realise how confusing of a nickname it was gonna be, but I never changed it anyway
@@sayakota3054 that's my point rlly. that these new poorly disguised fetish games are being actively marketed to kids, while this game, while not being actively against kids playing it, wasn't on a childrens' site. so that might make it a lot less bad
@@CryptP oh yeah my bad lol it's late and I thought you grouped it together with those games. Tbh I went on the Wayback machine out of curiosity just now, I used to play it a bit back when it took off in 2007 (I was 14 then). In 2007, they had a "Letter for parents" page saying that the game could be beneficial for kids, and gave as an example that if your Bimbo's weight was too low, she'd get sick but that appetite suppressants would make her sick and depressed, so she had to eat properly lol In 2008, they changed that and said 'Not to be played by kids under 12 years old, as they wouldn't understand the satire and humor of the game and could be influenced." So at least they realized the issue and put a warning!
@@sayakota3054 no worries lmao, it's also late here and I'm fairly drunk so I getcha This site was very questionable with how it tried to justify itself, and probably should've been very clear that "this is a parodic game for adults", but at least it wasn't literally up on kids sites. feels like the absolute bare minimum, but apparently some ppl won't even do that
@@akaikeki2199 the comment is making fun of people who claim to be empaths. Like people who say they can read people's emotions and feel other people's feelings, and act like that isn't just human empathy.
Me, starting the video: "Okay, it's another misogynistic internet game, those are a dime a dozen" The misogynistic internet game: "Do you support the death penalty"
I used to love mabimbo as a child !!! Even as a 10yo i knew it was total satire but it was so funny and the clothes were so cute ! I rememberone level up mission was just to dump your bf bc there was a new richer guy in town and then the new bf was just some grandpa 💀💀
@@paulwoodford6229 Free thinking and atheism are really neutral things, free thinkers and atheists can both be absolutely terrible scumbags. They can also be good, hence neutral. But, most people I hear associate with being "freethinking atheists" are neckbeard edgelords who listened to Sargon unironically, you know that type.
Man that dude has some serious gall to pull the whole anti woke free speech spiel after spending his entire career having meltdowns over the mildest of criticisms and banning people.
I mean it sounds like he fits right in with the anti-woke crowd... their favorite passtime is crying about how people who are criticizing them for valid reasons are trying to censor them and it's literally 1984.
@@ByzantineDarkwraith Yep and then they project by calling other people sensitive, which we also saw Chris do. Seems the playbook hasn't changed much.
While I understand why the game was controversial, I really don't like it when parents complain about what their kids are exposed to on the internet. Monitor their usage! Set up filters! Keep devices in common areas! Do they not control what they're looking at? It's not the responsibility of content creators to keep kids away from the content, as even if there were minors they'd likely just lie about their age.
What I expected: A weird fetish website What I got: A doll dress up website What I got 10 minutes in: A weird fetish website What I got 20 minutes in: A doll dress up website with politics What I got 30 minutes in: A weird fetish website with politics What a ride.
@@aveocado LAF is no longer updating with new content, but it is still functional. Looks like they're even doing weekly Fashionista thread for the top player, even.
Literally was my only thought 😂 Tumblr is my hell and we've been through so much together, I could never leave her now 😂 I've been with her since 2011 and there ain't no turning back lol. 😂 But like seriously, right down to the hating the staff, it is exactly like Tumblr 😅
I thought this was a group of actual bimbos just making a funny game about their own community as soon as I heard it was made by a man I went “ohh…I see”
It always is this way online tho unfortunately. Always a dude running the websites, doing the technical shit, dealing with website user base. This guy sounded like a sad lonely virgin tho like surpassing incel levels. Had me rolling when he rped weird fetish ideas on public thread announcements that guy was deranged. He needs a boyfriend free girl LOL
"it is not a bad influence for children, they learn to take care of their bimbo's" that's like saying Mortal Kombat teach kids that violence isn't the answer.
As a long-time french player of the original MaBimbo, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK XD This is bloody insane. I had no idea any of this ever went on. The OG site is pretty much the same it ever was, with increased art quality and more fantastical themes. It's pretty neat to create high fashion outfits.
@@allurajane4979 same as mybimbo, but honestly the more controversial aspects were anecdotal, the dress up and makeup aspect, decorating your apartment and hanging out on the forums were the real draw
@@allurajane4979 at first it was thought like that, and men were the devs. Then the art designer who is a woman became very central to the development and the game became more dress up focused. You still pursued boyfriends that brought you money but less for financial gains.
Same i played the game for so long.....! I didn't like much the surgery and all aspect from the game and I'm glad they pretty much stopped it. So sad that it ended...
I had this string of "oh no"s in my head when I realize that Chris is actually taking Bimboland seriously. Like he wants to set up his own micronation kind of serious.
He strikes me as one of those people who wants to buy/build his own island in the Pacific to make his own nation regardless of who actually owns the area already
As a die-hard fan of ma bimbo, I literally played that game until they stopped updating it, I think it's important to mention that in the french version there's tw everytime a problematic quest appears with message like "this game is a parody and not to be taken seriously or taken as an example of things to do" and stuff like that. So we didn't have such controversy for it here. I remember when miss bimbo became it's own thing and remember disliking it because it wasn't as fun as ma bimbo haha. The whole drama and stories were fascinating, never knew there was so much going on with the english version, kinda curious to play ximboland now haha
bimboland has always been SEVERELY female dominated and despite this, chris as well as other men involved in the game have been severely misogynistic to the female player base. now there’s been an influx of young lgbt people from everskies, and despite many of the designers being lgbt, the men behind this game have leveraged their privilege to be pretty discriminatory to certain players. it’s honestly screwed up. still, most of the playerbase is pretty progressive and mostly female.
Tbh If I had known of the early raising game on the site I would've probably played it, I love dress up games, and compared to the garbage I grew up with, the artstyle was pretty cute and if you could make goths, then more points in it's favor from me.
As a little sister I would be surprised if my older brother or sisters didn’t burst out laughing if someone called me a bimbo. I can just imagine them laughing while saying: “yah, and?”
@@ellw7830 yeah but they just slap x on anything to say its the non-binary option now. and i can't believe they missed the opportunity to call it enbo. like enby is one letter off from getting the -bo treatment
@@ditzylilorgans the Halloween theme started playing in my head after reading that lol. Now I just imagine a Garfield that's human sized and dressed like Michael Myers breaking into his house in the middle of the night to eliminate him. Maybe they make victims into lasagna 🤔🤔🤔

For Ma-Bimbo they stopped putting out content for the game, as a French girl it's a big part of my childhood and I loved how creative the community got with rooms and outfits, like in a few years it became a thing of its own that had nothing to do with the bimbo stuff anymore. I personally played from time to time until like 2016 but I was more active when I was 10 til I was 16 The French version really prided itself on being a parody and had a lot of disclaimers in the surgery part too Also as they added levels and new objectives, they dropped the fatphobia stuff as far as I remember Edit: So from what I got the English version was hell? 😭 The French community was chill and Nine the creator interacted a lot with the players I wished you could've talked more about the French version in comparison to the English one because the French one took a really different direction until it met its end. There's no more content being created for the French version but the forum is still active Heck if you ever plan to talk about the French version in more depth I'd be happy to help
As weird as the concept is for minors, I also don't remember the game being THAT worse compared to the english version. It was pretty peaceful, as far as as I remember, and fun to play too!
I also remember playing the french version when I was a teen (more than 10 years ago now, I feel old) and it was always a chill experience. I always thought of it as a parody, not an endorsement of "bimbo-ness" in any way.
Same, I played from the age of 12 to 14 and it was always very obvious to me that it was all a parody. I just focused on making my bimbo look cool with edgy outfits and a dope room tbh.
Omg another big player! I feel like all the girls during the early 2000 played it gsjsjs at least every girl I asked as a kid were totally playing them x) Mon dieu je suis archi nostalgique la haha
Honestly I played it as a teen recovering from anorexia and I didnt really feel that it was a bad message, but of course my experience isn't universal. I was also older (18-19) and just needed something to distract myself so if course it wouldn't be the same thing as a younger person. I suppose for me it was soothing to be able to care for a digital character so easily when taking care of myself had been/was such a struggle
Honestly stories like this and ones about neopets and club penguin just make me want a new online virtual world. They're all pretty much dead but now that the people that played them as kids have grown up theres a huge nostalgia boom and they're getting reinstated. There's definitely potential to create an original fun virtual world site for the people that grew up with the classics and the new generation.
@@HolyGoddessMotherAnne Unfortunately, even the ones that are not created with porn in mind tend to drift towards it. When I was around 15, I played Royaumes Renaissants (Renaissance Kingdoms in English I think, the game was a big success and was translated in many languages), which was a mix of Play by post RPG with a world with places you could send your character to, stuff you could gather, craft and sell, taverns with instant chat that you could go to, and even eventually buy and manage, set in 15th century western Europe. Because of the theme and somewhat tedious management aspects, it wasn't aimed at a kid's audience, but back then, you wouldn't encounter weird content, people would just have mundane conversations mimicking old timey speech, some would organise activities with a narrative peppered with puzzles for the other players in the same virtual town, it was really fun. A specificity of it was that the forums that you could access at any given time depended on the town your character was in during the game, traveling to other places took days, and could be dangerous if you weren't properly equipped or accompanied. After a couple of months, the team of players who organised the little animations locally offered me to joined them, I freaked out, thinking "maybe I'm spending way too much time on the Internet" and answered that I was living the game because of IRL stuff. I didn't came back until years after, as a young adult, I was curious as to what the game became. I created a new character because my first one was dead in the meantime, I tried to start in a location close to the one of my first character, with the hope that I could go there and see if some people were still there or something. I ended up in a town that was almost deserted, the forums had very little activity, and there was only one tavern (the places with the instant messaging) open, with a single other player there. She was a lady who had been on the game for a while, we had a pleasant conversation about my memories of the game, she said that yes, there were much fewer players these days (since the company behind the game developed a similar based on the Aztec civilisation), and that the ones that remained active regrouped in the bigger cities. She was herself only there for a day, in transit between two of these more populated cities, and that the main thing happening there was roleplay sex in the taverns, she travelled regularly throughout the in-game region to roleplay sex with different people. She told me that my original town was about as deserted as the one we currently were in and it wasn't worth the journey, but if I wanted to I could accompany her to her next destination. I politely declined and abandoned my second character, and I guess the next day she went on her way. To be fair, I had no way to verify whether or not she was telling the truth (other than travelling with her and seeing for myself, but I didn't), and the map was huge and even herself had only seen a tiny part of it, maybe there were places out there that were neither deserted nor mostly dedicated to sex, I will never know. And it's not necessarily bad that there could be sexual content among adult players, it was just really unexpected (maybe I was just naïve) and a little sad that it was almost the only thing remaining in a dying world. It was over 10 years ago now (almost 15 years since my first account), so I may be misremembering things. I searched a few things while writing that, apparently the devs tried to reboot the game a couple years ago, or maybe they kept updating it all these years and then decided to create a mobile version, I don't know exactly what happened, but there is a modern version of the game in early access, from their twitter I see that it was translated into Basque/Euskara recently. I guess I'll have to try to find out what happened, it's very confusing.
I remembered "Douchebag" - series of flash games where you had to workout, take pills and buy cars just so you can get laid with girls and there was also a "Douchebag chick" game which was the same thing but with girl as a main character The only difference was that it was more clear that this game is satire bc of specific artstyle
I remember Jacksepticeye and PewDiePie playing those a while back. It was quite a trend for a while, and they had Douchebag's chick as a separate game with similar stuff that was talked about here.
huh? Am I missing something? When did a two-party system, or even two main factions of players get brought up in the video? Up to 7 people can run in the elections from what I could tell, and each of the six "states" (moreso groups of players, it seems) have a different ideological alignment, based on the descriptions that were shown in the video when she first told us about the states. I'm so confused lol
I play bimboland occasionally, and its always struck me as odd how rude and misogynistic chris is considering the majority of his website's users are women.
Actually it doesn't surprise me at all. He created a website where he's in a position of power over a userbase of predominantly young women. He also very clearly has a kink going on for bimbo women, and Chris doesn't exactly strike me as the type to explore and enjoy his kinks in a healthy way.
Starting the video: Ah it's some dress up game with unrealistic body standards, seems standard. Oh look the administrator is a jerk surprise surprise Ending the video: How the hell did this turn into democratic corruption with bimbos?
ive been playing the french original website since like 8 years lol, it has some funny parodic sides when you play as an adult. im excited to see what dramas have been going on- the french website is basically dead now with some mini games broken because of flash edit: might i also add that beemove, who i believe bought the game and others a while ago, is a terrible company. i still religiously play My candy love, another game by the same group of creators that I've been on since 2012, and it has become a pay-to-play nightmare since Beemov has been running it- gameplay changes were made to divide the progression speed by three and every event is worse than the precedent with overall disappointed backlash every time.
damn i really loved play mcl as a kid but it was sooo hard to play even back then! i remeber i would saved ap points and one day they made a cap so all the time i'd spent sabing was for nothing. Wish they'd release a full version on steam so i cld just play it for fun instead of the p2w model
@@Chococat1314 i would actually pay 60€ for a full version of the game, I'm really attached to it. it's not great, especially the first episodes of the first seasons, the story gets clumsily deep with the Nathaniel arc around episodes 15 and the second season seems to have overall better writing, or at least more professional one. i don't know about the third tho.
@@AoiUsagiOtoko it was never great, but the early years had that hand crafted love put into it that was obliterated by Beemov who turned it into a capitalist nightmare.
i know im not the only one who thinks its creepy as fuck that literally two grown asf men made this game and encouraged little girls to play it when bimbos seemed to be one of their main fetishes
I was a Bimboland player, left when Chris had his meltdown over ageism and Started praising himself using his alt. Absolutely nuts. I went back after watching this video just to see what had changed. There top Forum post is about you!
Oh. My. God. I did a presentation in school about the different stages of political power distribution and their effect on society where I used this game both as example and red thread. If you had only put this out two months prior it would have saved me soooo much research
@@jadapinkett1656 you might be a political science major but I was in tenth grade. While it was a kinda serious presentation (my GFS) it's not on the level of university political science. It just seemed funny to me to use such a weird and kind of inappropriate game as an example, thats all, no in depth analysis or whatever
As a high school drop out (freshman year) I want to actually see your presentation lol. My one year of high school I just saw a bunch of people fight and did a lot of mindless paperwork in class while other people fought. Ghetto school lol
.... it's wild, i'm french and so many girls my age (me included) played this game without any second thoughts. We just thought it was funny and the clothes were really cool. Also, no, there was indeed absolutely no backlash in french media and french rating don't work the same way as the anglosaxon world. Depictions of sexual themes and nudity are considered way less harmful than depiction of violence. For example, fifty shades here is rated inappropriate for under 12 and was also given no ratings at all because the sexual content wasn't that present compared to the french cinema standard. (if you know, you know) So ... Yeah, for what it's worth, I think it's a problem of french sexual views being exported to the world without taking into context more ... conservatist view points of the world.
@@nowandaround312 yeah i wrote that at the beginning of the video. I can see why it caused a panic, there is definitely some weird stuff going on there
I honestly expected Ximboland to be some kind of edgy political “satire” mocking “the left” given the names of the states (Atheista, Freethinkerland, Reasonopia, etc) and his rants about “wokeness”, I was surprised to see Chris actually treat it like a (sort of) serious social experiment.
Given the names if feels more like a libertarian New Atheist kind of thing. If it was a left kind of thing I would expect more terms like communism and anarchism. But that's just me.
@@merrittanimation7721I think I saw “Marxism-Leninism” listed as one of the principles of Atheista, I’m not sure though. He seems like the sort of person who can’t tell the difference between any of that
I have to be honest here... I think anything with any kind o game with anything political about it is ridiculous. I mean, my views are kinda neutral because i never wanted anything to do with politics anyway...0_0 but games are supposed to be fun! This creator seems like a crazy person, making that website his own world. He sounds like the type of guy who never leaves his house
@@jocelynecupcake Nah, politics is present in everything. Even the absence of an explicit political message is a political statement, in the way that it chooses to frame the status quo.
I love this channel. I don't really hang around in fandoms, so a lot of the videos cover drama I've never even heard of, and the comments often have some information to provide context from an insider perspective.
To be fair, instead of getting mad about what others put on the internet it’s the parents job to monitor what their child is doing. The internet has NEVER been a safe place for kids
@@midoriya_mumble Yeah, when I was young I had unrestricted internet and I basically grew up on Newgrounds.. that site is a well.. *interesting place.*
@@gloomiiii At least Newground was a bit more controlled than some of the other websites, old internet was unfiltered and not meant for kids outside of some sites (which ironically ends up as worse at times) that's for sure But definitly newground had anything and everything, loads of edge too lol
Absolutely, but it is an issue that the site looks exactly like a dress up game for children. And they were pushing for the age limit to be lowered so very young kids would be encouraged to play, which is super fucked up.
Girl you're a hot topic right now in the Ximboland forums 😭 You've definitely attracted some attention there LOL (ive already made a reply summing up what was said there, i don't know if any drama happened in the thread because i didn't check on it all that often afterwards)
@@frogboy9268 most of the people are just saying they joined because of this video, but some of the "higher ups" who are already fucking problematic and whining about her not knowing what shes talking about and shit, they are always fuckin annoying though
I played Miss Bimbo in the years leading up to its eventual death and rebirth into Bimboland. I was there live as the drama between the user base and sweetasnuts got really bad. What a weird treat to see a video essay about this whole fever dream. Funny enough when they shut down Miss Bimbo I moved to My Candy Love, a beemoov game with its own set of dramas. Despite the very bad messaging of the game, and how wild it all was, there were a lot of people on the site who were passionate about it and volunteered their time creating clothes and building community there. I hope that talent eventually found its way to more worthy projects. Cheers to all "8 million of the world's biggest super bitches," as Chris called us back then. ❤️
Every fellow MB refugee I see in these comments is just the nicest person, and it makes me remember that aside from Chris and his antics, the player base was really lovely 98% of the time. I can't think of anything outside the insanity that came from sweetasnuts having a midlife crisis or whatever that was particularly negative, and I started playing looking to hate it. The folks in the forums were just all delightful, though. Y'know, for being super bitches. ;)
Man, I remember MCL. I met a lot of nice people on the forums but quickly lost motivation to play the actual game because of the snail pace of progression with the AP system. The nail in the coffin for me was the transition to UL and cutting out a bunch of established love interests for new ones for no reason, the devs even doubled down on this decision instead of listening to the fanbase. I wasn't there for all the controversies, before UL I already had disposable income to buy full priced otome games and visual novels that had more hours of content and better writing quality and never looked back at MCL again.
While yes the diet pills and dramatic shock with the plastic surgery and sugar daddies are bad you have to admit ultra femininity or just pride in being girly was HEAVILY dragged in the early 00s. Every single mean girl or antagonist had to be a snooty pink wearing girl, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton were enemy number one. Glad we're moving to "it's ok to be girly and love girly things" era.
Moving back to that era. Sort of; previously, said era's highest level of tech was the up and coming firearms, which were being hastily made and a lot of people that used the earliest of them often had prosthetic limbs later in life (made of wood). ... When I say up and coming, I'm talking about very early things; cannons work because the mechanisms are simple (and yet easy to mess up), but smaller things like blasting guns (shotguns) and ballistic hand guns were very crude and had a high chance of breaking or worse, going BOOM in one's hands (this is still a potential problem). In essence, smaller firearms have been a thing since the Medieval/Feudal Era, but it took a long time to improve the tech, to be far more 'reliable'. Eh. Sword and parry, that's enough for me. ... Hm. I think I elaborated a bit too much. Ah, well.
@@sillycreature5078 ... "Glad we're moving to "it's ok to be girly and love girly things" era." ... I was referring to the fact that the era in query is not a new era but a returning era, and I mentioned just how long it had been since the last turn, by mentioning the level of tech development. ... Like I said, I probably elaborated too much, but, it is what it is.
@@AmyraCarter Girl, you didn't "elaborate too much" - you went on a flipping tangent 🤣 By the end of your first comment, I'm not even sure which time period you're referencing anymore, but I can guarantee the "pink and girly" OP had in mind was probably a little more recent than that.
Can't wait to see the follow-up video in 2.5 years where you cover the likely dramas to come of "Bad NFT rollout", "suddenly Creator allegations of X", "Game was bought by Y, Somehow Things Got Worse", and finally "Shutdown was a dumpster fire, a small group of diehard fans saved all the assets and made a much better version of the game played by a max of 20 people at any given time, but with a weirdly well-organized volunteer staff and growing userbase". I can't wait to see how many of these predictions come true.
I feel so conflicted about this type of site. On one hand, I'm a fan of playing these "problematic" types of games with how they tackle topics you won't find anywhere else, especially with how engrossing the experiences can be. On the other hand, having stuff like this so easily accessible to kids without any proper warnings or age restrictions seems like it would certainly impart some very negative views onto impressionable young minds who would eat up the descriptions. At the very least, I think I would've enjoyed this site had I been around for its heyday and been able to absorb it healthily (besides the drama, sheesh). As I've grown older I've come to realize that playing dress-up is a surprisingly engaging experience with how meticulous you can get choosing the perfect outfits for a character, and leaning so hard into the bimbo aspect would make for an amusing time.
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear lain
The spiteful nature of "This may be Hell but it's our Hell" reminds me so much of Tumblr. It's so strange how you could have a barely functional site that has a specific niche filled, patched together by dedicated users to make it more functional, be terrible to each other in a lot of ways and very kind in others, and then people would rather be dead than ever permanently log off.
I remember finding the miss bimbo website, and quickly falling off because the customization and dress up aspects of the game where poor, it was hard to earn currency and the acheivements funneled the users into a certain "look"
ive been playing bimboland for 2 or 3 years now and while i agree some parts of the site are a wholesome community it's not really welcoming or inclusive as a whole. most of the site staff (both actual hired by chris staff and unpaid user moderators) are incredibly confrontational and unpleasant to talk to, outright bigoted, or both. the current only active site coder is a massive transphobe and any forum posts making any mention of this, to this day, get deleted and you might get banned for it. last year people were trying to band together to elect someone new and not bigoted as PB and suddenly a bunch of users, myself included, were permanently banned from the site with no warning or explanation. basically if you had ever had vocal criticisms about the pink house or team bimbo, or were known to be friends with people who had vocal criticisms, you were gone. since then i've just been watching from the sidelines but the forums are still heavily censored with regards to criticism with very uneven and inconsistent enforcement of rules and its not at all uncommon for users to get temporary bans simply because they pissed a staff member off meanwhile other users who constantly bully and start drama get much more slack. so people who want to join the site because of this video: it can be a genuinely very, very toxic place and most of the staff fucking suck.
wow, that's so lame... imagining making a game about democracy/politics and then banning people for... not being bigoted. such a great "social experiment". Also, I'm curious, is the current PB explicitly bigoted? I'd be interested to know about how they are as a person/what opinions they like to push, if you wanna share at all
@@ByzantineDarkwraith theyre usually not super public about it because they want people to like them and vote for them. the current PB isnt as bad as some of the other current/former pink house members but she did repeatedly cover the coder's ass and censor people for talking about it in the forums and she still enforces the rules unevenly and doesnt really care when people get unfairly punished.
also as an addendum: izzzy mentioned the user-submitted items in the shop and while it was 100% just for chris to avoid paying an artist it's still one of the main draws of the site bc theres so much cool art and (theoretically) a constantly changing and expanding shop. when people originally tried to call out the main coder for being a massive bigot (and were banned for it) he threw a fit and closed the shop. later he only opened it back up on the condition that any new additions have to be approved by him (previously all shop submissions were reviewed by a group of volunteers), and sometimes he just tells people no without even looking at the items just because he doesnt feel like talking about it. between that and multiple shop volunteers quitting because they didnt want to deal with the shitty coder constantly arguing and misgendering them, shop additions have essentially slowed to a crawl, where it used to get lots of new stuff every couple of weeks, sometimes multiple times a week. the last time we got a bunch of new stuff like we used to was during *christmas* for an advent calendar event, and lots of new items were just crunchy compressed stolen clipart or photos. all of the dedicated regular artists who werent in the pink house already have essentially been driven away, and some of them were sniped in the mass-banning even with how much theyve contributed to the shop. nowadays you're lucky if the shop gets like... a small handful of items each month. so yeah, one of the main good points of this site has effectively been ruined by shitty, spiteful staff. bimboland history repeats itself.
@@ByzantineDarkwraith in addition the current pb was the one in charge during the time OP and others were trying to make a change in the pink house staff and it’s suspected that this pb played a role in their banning because they threatened her chances at re-election, further supported by the uneven enforcement of rules
I can't help but chuckle with the abbreviation of "BL" bc all i can think of is "Boy's Love" And thus "BL site owner doesn't care about their users or this site" got a cackled aloud from me hahaha
Chris sounds like your typical internet provocateur but decided that his outlet would be a fashion doll game instead of Newsground shorts or a webcomic. Well, at least he found a niche to let him thrive.
21:05 Okay, highkey: a game-wide event where admins play the role of villains trying to take over the game sounds incredibly fun. I would love to see something like that tried in a better, more well-managed game.
all i have to say is... what did people expect, really? the guys who created a site like this to be nice? to be normal??? to care about the dress up and fashion aspect?? about the girls and women genuinely into it for the art and community? HA. i have to laugh, of course these guys would act like this, any guy who sees the phenomenon of the predatory fashion introdustry and beauty standards as something to simply make fun of and blame on women for being vain and stupid is clearly not going to be a very logical person with a head on their shoulders. this was a premeditated tragedy already written out from day one.
@@noname-cv8kp why wouldn’t they? it’s an attractive site for young girls cause it’s a dress up game and a take care of __ game. those 2 genres were really popular for young girls (myself included) i can’t imagine an older person playing this cause they obviously know better. preteen girls have no idea this is a joke and the creators knew that, taking it to their advantage.
@@noname-cv8kp oh no no no you misunderstand. Not blaming them here. My overall sentiment here is simply "dont trust people like these to deliver good content and consistency". I extend my solidarity to those who Were just kids and didnt know. Its just I have trouble Seeing how anyone could expect professionalism out of these guys.
I used to play MaBimbo religiously as a kid, alongside Moviestarplanet, two games I quit simply because I kept throwing temper tantrums since my dad didn't want to buy in-game currency, a smart decision looking back

@@Murhuedur the connotation comes specifically from the "New Atheists" of the early 2000s, who were almost exclusively young white straight guys and who had a very aggressive and condescending attitude towards... basically everyone who wasn't a young white straight male atheist.

I've never used this site, but I've worked for a couple avatar sites and lemme tell ya... dress up communities are always rife with the most bizarre drama and controversy, both in forum and behind the scenes. there's nothing quite like it
Genuinely! I've made art for some doll dress-up websites and... honestly some are almost exact copies of this, minus the 18+ erotic roleplay done by the admin. I've seen Gosupermodel die by the admins just no longer caring enough while the staff team was trying their best, Virtual Popstar is hosted by a guy who loaths his own community and quite often says how worthless his playerbase is on the forum but refuses to sell the website to people who actually want to bother. It's so bizarre!
i vividly remember this as a kid! i got bored of stardoll so i tried this site, innocently having no idea what the word bimbo meant. my parents saw the name and immediately told me to get off LOL. looking back i'm kinda glad they did because i had no idea about the messed up mechanics especially the obsession with weight and diet pills like, that's just extremely dangerous to little girls who already experience lots of pressure to look a certain way before they even hit puberty.
Dress up is fun, but game mechanics that tell you you need to be skinny or else you're worth less is actively dangerous for anyone who doesn't fully get the sarcastic intention. I can't believe it wasn't at least 16+
i was a young child when i played this (i'm 16 now, by the way) . i was part of that 8% and i actually tried to starve myself to get thinner , i hadn't realized just how bad that was until now .. i have honestly blocked out a lot of memories of playing this game but i do remember i was drawn to this game because of the pretty characters . i don't always think the sole content of games can affect players so much but it actually influenced me quite a bit. i would get weirdly obsessed with my weight and i still am today , it's a habit i haven't been able to get out of unfortunately. i was very obsessive about how i looked, hating every "imperfect" thing about me. that bit has gotten better now, i've slowly learned to accept myself. i think this game affected me so negatively because i was already so mentally ill back then, i was in a really tough time and had been for so long , this game didnt really help i was also just a casual player, i wasn't active in forums or anything , was just there for the outfits and the satisfaction of levelling up so i have no say on anything that happened , but the stuff i did see , i was just confused then but it feels like such a fever dream now also , i remember the site breaking and i was so distraught but im glad it did now , i lost interest in the game and was able to forget about it , i never found out about bimboland or played it , i pride myself on that anyways, if anyone does read this , hope u had fun reading my lil infodump lol
Don't take this the wrong way, but I really think it may be in your best interest to ask your parents to monitor your internet access for you. You sound very impressionable and there's a lot of websites on the Internet that are not good for minors to be on.
@@kongoubongo2970 dw , ive matured since then and i'm doing good for myself ! i'll be 17 soon , just in a few months , i've already seen the worst of the internet due to unnamed things. since i've seen so much i know what to avoid and i'm not as influenced by what i see in media now, i trust myself. i've been going to therapy n such & straying from things that could harm me mentally i do get the concern though! no offense taken
I’m going to go out on a limb to say that it wasn’t the game that encouraged bad habits, but it was more than likely that you found the site at a vulnerable point in time. It can happen to anyone.
@@eringrl101 right-o! i wasn't in a safe mental space at that time, so seeing that kind of stuff just upped my thoughts to a harmful degree. the game itself didn't encourage anything to my knowledge, it was just a controversial topic, but it sure did stick in my head as a mentally ill child back then
I'm french and loved that game! Honestly i only played it as a dress up game. I would lie if it didnt affect me a bit. But its not worse than what was seen on TV at that time.... The boyfriends names were so funny too, and there were lots of fun minigames to make your bimbo's IQ higher The french site is still up lol
yes! i'm chilean and played the spanish version religiously as a kid, i don't remember the spanish name though. i used to play a graphic novel game owned by the same company and the page had a drop down menu with other games, that's how i discovered it, i loved the minigames :')
@@mauroc1896 i also played amour sucré, but it was very grindy so i lost interest pretty quick. Those games were very fun and i look back at them fondly
Hey, i appreciate that you took the time to make a video on this topic! I do want to make note for anyone who may be looking to join for the meme: the site is full of homophobia and transphobia specifically from the administration of the game. Chris, the creator, has stopped being active due to his attempt at making the game welcome to minors (but still keeping the nsfw items up for sale and strewn about the game with no way to block them from sight or lock them for users who have put in a birthday that's 18+) but the person with the most power currently goes by Mariolka. Mariolka has repeatedly misgendered staff users to their faces and mocked them when told to use the correct pronouns (and further encourages this in users such as Butterfly and Lillyann who are both current "state ministers",) and to mention anything of being lgbt or neurodivergent can result in getting called a slur. An issue is also that when people defend themselves from scenarios such as this, often their defenses will be deleted and they will be "jailed" or even banned. The moderation banned the word "girlboss" in the forums because it was used to describe one of the mod team members who was going on a tirade defending herself in misgendering a transgender user. The moderation is also prone to shutting down discussion boards and deleting posts made by users in the "Lets Be Real" thread for calling out other users for blatant homophobia and transphobia, as well as racism. Obviously, you're free to do what you want but i think this is important to make known for anyone who may want to join just for the meme. There are multiple documents readily available, and i would be happy to link them if anyone showed interest in reading them.
I'd love to see that documentation, I was curious about joining the site when hearing it had been taken over by LGBTQIA+ people but this makes me take a step back a bit. Of course, I grew up socializing in the TH-cam comments so I think I could handle it.
@@aroma_tic oh, it's gotten much worse. One of the mentioned state ministers, lilyann, who very blatantly misgendered a user and then: went on the aforementioned tirade of having comments calling her out for it edited, banning the word girlboss as "a slur against her", and overall just throwing a hissy fit (instead of actually apologizing for it,) has won prime bimbo, meaning she gets cuts of the earnings of money paid for senatorships. The "let's be real" thread documented in this video was also shut down by the pink house, a thread that has been going for years and where the pink house really showed their true colors. I'm going to direct you to: primebimbo.tumblr.com/post/647129102560673792/this-document-is-meant-to-inform-other-users-of Which has not only the document on it, but gives you the tumblr where more stuff is documented as it happened and continues to update when new stuff happens.
I was hoping it would've been a satire game made to mock all these things aimed at adults which could've been great. They kinda implied it was supposed to be that but their actions and handling of the situation didn't make it work.
At the time, it wasn't exactly clear why she was even famous in the first place. She was the granddaughter of the owner of a hotel conglomerate and a middling fashion model with no major accomplishments. in 2008, she's been followed by the media for about 10 years without any mention of WHY. And at the time, she gave off the air of a wealthy materialist who was too important for the plebeians who were suddenly worshipping her. That likely had to do with the fact that when it first started, she was a teenager who wasn't really trying to be a public figure. To say she's "just a bimbo" now is a detriment to her success, which came from a combination of shrewd business acumen and creativity.
It’s the same cringy crap with Kim K. Why do people care so much and constantly show them? Some people are mindless, I wonder what it’s like to be around them.😕
@@OtakuUnitedStudio The main reason she was famous in the first place was because of a leaked 'rich heiress scandalous sex tape' or something like that which went viral from what I was told. Swiftly after that the media latched onto her as a 'rich airheaded' stereotype which was easy to mock and shame, though yeah she has done some stuff that proves she's more than that now.
I was an artist for the site a couple of years ago, and seeing my crappy pixel art in your video makes me so happy! :D Thank you so much for making a video on Bimboland :)
So Chris did sexual rp on the forums and allowed those under 18 to join the game. And adamantly fought with anyone who suggested that either thing shouldn't be happening. I'm not saying he's a predator, but this is definitely all the red flags for how one gets started.
I played for a long time when it was miss bimbo then it got really weird. Chris's (sweetasnuts) late night rants were bizarre! I was convinced he was trying to tank the game but for what reason I couldn't figure out. I finally put my girl on vacation and just didn't log on again. It was probably the oddest and most aggressive contention filled relationship between a site runner and the players that I've witnessed. I did love the dolls though, and the tons of clothing. The grind to next level wasn't the best but checking in once a day to do stuff for a few minutes and change her outfit was still a fun little time waster.
This is what I remember. I was an early avid online shopper using visa gift cards and I’d use the last couple dollars to buy things for mine. I got pretty far too.
hi! im meatbomb!! ex-state minister, almost prime bimbo, and was extremely active on this site, and still am, theres unfortunately plenty more current drama on this site, like them banning over 200 exclusively lgbt users overnight and the only site admin threatening to harm an artist working for him. really crazy shit
I used to play a couple of Beemoov games as a kid and while i didn't play miss bimbo, i was on My Candy Love and it had its share of drama. Adding a sex scene knowing that most users were young teens and making them lose their reward (an illustration) if they skipped it, the abundance of sexual content in the following seasons, getting rid of three of the five love interests after the first season with no warning, one of the new love interests being your teacher (and having him be falsely accused of sexual harassment by a female student right as metoo was trending, which was weird at best), losing millions of accounts due to a server issue... it was pretty wild.
I think Rayan was a love interest because a lot of fans fetishize Mr Faraize in MCL High School and Beemov jossing that in weird Peggy's rumour in last episode. ChiNoMiko fever and horny dreams started in (in)famous episode 40 and continues in MCL University are one of reasons devs ruin MCL. MCL Alternate Life don't fix huge plothole between MCL and MCLU - Rosalia and Leo forget about Lysander and leave him at the village? Why Alexy contact with Armin only in Alternate Life and in MCLU he didn't mention him?
(English is not my first lenguage) Also the controversy of taking down content creators's videos after they became popular 😭.At least they added a Female love route but they didn't need to remove 3 love interest.
Waiting for some dedicated players to seduce chris for his password and then take over the site by completely locking him out, banning him, and then giving the site back to the people, lol
Ooooh, I used to play My Bimbo back when i was in like, middle school. Mostly i liked the character creator aspect. I also found their refusal to let the Bimbos have kids so that babies couldn't be mistaken as a accessory or treat them like a pet to be surprisingly mature since a bunch of other sites allowed kids or babies to basically be pets in game 😬
The antagonism between the users and staff reminds me of Neopets, in a way. Most Neopets users HATE The Neopets Team with a passion, or at the very least, they despise Jumpstart for forcing TNT's hand in making them make some really stupid decisions.
Always a great day when Izzy uploads. Love this one especially. "Fucked up guy runs a fucked up site" is a story you've told 100 times but it's never old, love to hear how history repeats itself.
being a moderator is awful, not gonna lie... I've been stalked, i've had emotional moments in tiny chats screenshotted and sent to me to mock my mental health, i've had sexual harassment, people accuse you of being too controlling all the time when you are just fucking following and enforcing rules someone else told you to enforce I had to quit and I've moderated on MULTIPLE separate occasions, years apart on different websites... all awful.
@Acolyte of Dagon On the internet this is honestly not true half the time though? I can think up countless times where normal members of communities bully and harass mods to get "special treatment" (read: be ignored/appeased because theyre too bothersome, like a internet karen even) and break rules w/o punishment. It goes both ways, the victim card is so easy to play if you're an asshole with no human decency.
I originally played Miss Bimbo in middle school or high school, and I think I only stopped because I lost my username and password. I was honestly just there to play dress up and see how skanky I could make my bimbo look. Now at the age of 30 I've rejoined the site and for the most part I feel like is relatively the same. My favorite thing besides the hyper feminine aesthetic is the debates; I like seeing what people think about certain topics, and who leans which way on each topic. A fair amount of people have blocked me after losing a debate or a fashion battle with me, but that's the only negativity I've noticed.
there’s something so ominously poetic about the og website falling apart at the seams to just hyperlinks and basic images. it’s like the descent of a grand family. it’s grey gardens. horrifying.

I currently use the french site and the way everything is written is obviously satire and mocking
I used to play on the french website, it was clearly a satire (from the pov of what you see in-game, I did not experience the forums) Sounds like the english side is icky...
I'd argue that if you have to keep reminding people it's satire, it makes the satire worse. A good satire site should either be very obviously satire (which this is) or at most have a single disclaimer when entering, not constant reminders. Kind of takes the bite out.
@@Xbob42 Unfortunately some people are too dumb to realize that so to avoid lawsuits and controversy, they have to plaster that warning all over the place.

In 2007, they had a "Letter for parents" page saying that the game could be beneficial for kids, and gave as an example that if your Bimbo's weight was too low, she'd get sick but that appetite suppressants would make her sick and depressed, so she had to eat properly lol

It's not the responsibility of content creators to keep kids away from the content, as even if there were minors they'd likely just lie about their age.
You're right but it's fair to call the devs out for trying to lower the age limit and encourage kids to play the game.

As a long-time french player of the original MaBimbo, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK XD This is bloody insane. I had no idea any of this ever went on. The OG site is pretty much the same it ever was, with increased art quality and more fantastical themes. It's pretty neat to create high fashion outfits.
is it the same as mybimbo with like plastic surgery and a bf and stuff or was it just a normal dress up game?
@@allurajane4979 same as mybimbo, but honestly the more controversial aspects were anecdotal, the dress up and makeup aspect, decorating your apartment and hanging out on the forums were the real draw
@@allurajane4979 at first it was thought like that, and men were the devs. Then the art designer who is a woman became very central to the development and the game became more dress up focused.
You still pursued boyfriends that brought you money but less for financial gains.

@@merrittanimation7721Not the Reddit island again, fuckin hell
As a die-hard fan of ma bimbo, I literally played that game until they stopped updating it, I think it's important to mention that in the french version there's tw everytime a problematic quest appears with message like "this game is a parody and not to be taken seriously or taken as an example of things to do" and stuff like that. So we didn't have such controversy for it here. I remember when miss bimbo became it's own thing and remember disliking it because it wasn't as fun as ma bimbo haha.
The whole drama and stories were fascinating, never knew there was so much going on with the english version, kinda curious to play ximboland now haha
bimboland has always been SEVERELY female dominated and despite this, chris as well as other men involved in the game have been severely misogynistic to the female player base. now there’s been an influx of young lgbt people from everskies, and despite many of the designers being lgbt, the men behind this game have leveraged their privilege to be pretty discriminatory to certain players. it’s honestly screwed up. still, most of the playerbase is pretty progressive and mostly female.
yup this !!
Tbh If I had known of the early raising game on the site I would've probably played it, I love dress up games, and compared to the garbage I grew up with, the artstyle was pretty cute and if you could make goths, then more points in it's favor from me.

For Ma-Bimbo they stopped putting out content for the game, as a French girl it's a big part of my childhood and I loved how creative the community got with rooms and outfits, like in a few years it became a thing of its own that had nothing to do with the bimbo stuff anymore. I personally played from time to time until like 2016 but I was more active when I was 10 til I was 16
The French version really prided itself on being a parody and had a lot of disclaimers in the surgery part too
Also as they added levels and new objectives, they dropped the fatphobia stuff as far as I remember
Edit: So from what I got the English version was hell? 😭 The French community was chill and Nine the creator interacted a lot with the players
I wished you could've talked more about the French version in comparison to the English one because the French one took a really different direction until it met its end. There's no more content being created for the French version but the forum is still active
Heck if you ever plan to talk about the French version in more depth I'd be happy to help
As weird as the concept is for minors, I also don't remember the game being THAT worse compared to the english version. It was pretty peaceful, as far as as I remember, and fun to play too!
I also remember playing the french version when I was a teen (more than 10 years ago now, I feel old) and it was always a chill experience. I always thought of it as a parody, not an endorsement of "bimbo-ness" in any way.
Same, I played from the age of 12 to 14 and it was always very obvious to me that it was all a parody. I just focused on making my bimbo look cool with edgy outfits and a dope room tbh.
Omg another big player! I feel like all the girls during the early 2000 played it gsjsjs at least every girl I asked as a kid were totally playing them x) Mon dieu je suis archi nostalgique la haha
Honestly I played it as a teen recovering from anorexia and I didnt really feel that it was a bad message, but of course my experience isn't universal. I was also older (18-19) and just needed something to distract myself so if course it wouldn't be the same thing as a younger person. I suppose for me it was soothing to be able to care for a digital character so easily when taking care of myself had been/was such a struggle
Honestly stories like this and ones about neopets and club penguin just make me want a new online virtual world. They're all pretty much dead but now that the people that played them as kids have grown up theres a huge nostalgia boom and they're getting reinstated. There's definitely potential to create an original fun virtual world site for the people that grew up with the classics and the new generation.

When I was around 15, I played Royaumes Renaissants (Renaissance Kingdoms in English I think, the game was a big success and was translated in many languages), which was a mix of Play by post RPG with a world with places you could send your character to, stuff you could gather, craft and sell, taverns with instant chat that you could go to, and even eventually buy and manage, set in 15th century western Europe. Because of the theme and somewhat tedious management aspects, it wasn't aimed at a kid's audience, but back then, you wouldn't encounter weird content, people would just have mundane conversations mimicking old timey speech, some would organise activities with a narrative peppered with puzzles for the other players in the same virtual town, it was really fun.
A specificity of it was that the forums that you could access at any given time depended on the town your character was in during the game, traveling to other places took days, and could be dangerous if you weren't properly equipped or accompanied.
After a couple of months, the team of players who organised the little animations locally offered me to joined them, I freaked out, thinking "maybe I'm spending way too much time on the Internet" and answered that I was living the game because of IRL stuff.
I didn't came back until years after, as a young adult, I was curious as to what the game became. I created a new character because my first one was dead in the meantime, I tried to start in a location close to the one of my first character, with the hope that I could go there and see if some people were still there or something. I ended up in a town that was almost deserted, the forums had very little activity, and there was only one tavern (the places with the instant messaging) open, with a single other player there. She was a lady who had been on the game for a while, we had a pleasant conversation about my memories of the game, she said that yes, there were much fewer players these days (since the company behind the game developed a similar based on the Aztec civilisation), and that the ones that remained active regrouped in the bigger cities. She was herself only there for a day, in transit between two of these more populated cities, and that the main thing happening there was roleplay sex in the taverns, she travelled regularly throughout the in-game region to roleplay sex with different people. She told me that my original town was about as deserted as the one we currently were in and it wasn't worth the journey, but if I wanted to I could accompany her to her next destination. I politely declined and abandoned my second character, and I guess the next day she went on her way.
To be fair, I had no way to verify whether or not she was telling the truth (other than travelling with her and seeing for myself, but I didn't), and the map was huge and even herself had only seen a tiny part of it, maybe there were places out there that were neither deserted nor mostly dedicated to sex, I will never know. And it's not necessarily bad that there could be sexual content among adult players, it was just really unexpected (maybe I was just naïve) and a little sad that it was almost the only thing remaining in a dying world.
It was over 10 years ago now (almost 15 years since my first account), so I may be misremembering things. I searched a few things while writing that, apparently the devs tried to reboot the game a couple years ago, or maybe they kept updating it all these years and then decided to create a mobile version, I don't know exactly what happened, but there is a modern version of the game in early access, from their twitter I see that it was translated into Basque/Euskara recently. I guess I'll have to try to find out what happened, it's very confusing.
I remembered "Douchebag" - series of flash games where you had to workout, take pills and buy cars just so you can get laid with girls and there was also a "Douchebag chick" game which was the same thing but with girl as a main character
The only difference was that it was more clear that this game is satire bc of specific artstyle
oh my god. I hated that game. art was so bad
edit
of course I knew it wasn't serious I just thought it was too ugly to bother with it
I remember Jacksepticeye and PewDiePie playing those a while back. It was quite a trend for a while, and they had Douchebag's chick as a separate game with similar stuff that was talked about here.

I play bimboland occasionally, and its always struck me as odd how rude and misogynistic chris is considering the majority of his website's users are women.
Yikes to chris
Actually it doesn't surprise me at all. He created a website where he's in a position of power over a userbase of predominantly young women. He also very clearly has a kink going on for bimbo women, and Chris doesn't exactly strike me as the type to explore and enjoy his kinks in a healthy way.

Also, no, there was indeed absolutely no backlash in french media and french rating don't work the same way as the anglosaxon world. Depictions of sexual themes and nudity are considered way less harmful than depiction of violence. For example, fifty shades here is rated inappropriate for under 12 and was also given no ratings at all because the sexual content wasn't that present compared to the french cinema standard.

What a weird treat to see a video essay about this whole fever dream. Funny enough when they shut down Miss Bimbo I moved to My Candy Love, a beemoov game with its own set of dramas.
Despite the very bad messaging of the game, and how wild it all was, there were a lot of people on the site who were passionate about it and volunteered their time creating clothes and building community there. I hope that talent eventually found its way to more worthy projects. Cheers to all "8 million of the world's biggest super bitches," as Chris called us back then. ❤️

The folks in the forums were just all delightful, though. Y'know, for being super bitches. ;)
Man, I remember MCL. I met a lot of nice people on the forums but quickly lost motivation to play the actual game because of the snail pace of progression with the AP system. The nail in the coffin for me was the transition to UL and cutting out a bunch of established love interests for new ones for no reason, the devs even doubled down on this decision instead of listening to the fanbase.
I wasn't there for all the controversies, before UL I already had disposable income to buy full priced otome games and visual novels that had more hours of content and better writing quality and never looked back at MCL again.

While yes the diet pills and dramatic shock with the plastic surgery and sugar daddies are bad you have to admit ultra femininity or just pride in being girly was HEAVILY dragged in the early 00s. Every single mean girl or antagonist had to be a snooty pink wearing girl, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton were enemy number one. Glad we're moving to "it's ok to be girly and love girly things" era.
Moving back to that era. Sort of; previously, said era's highest level of tech was the up and coming firearms, which were being hastily made and a lot of people that used the earliest of them often had prosthetic limbs later in life (made of wood).
...
When I say up and coming, I'm talking about very early things; cannons work because the mechanisms are simple (and yet easy to mess up), but smaller things like blasting guns (shotguns) and ballistic hand guns were very crude and had a high chance of breaking or worse, going BOOM in one's hands (this is still a potential problem). In essence, smaller firearms have been a thing since the Medieval/Feudal Era, but it took a long time to improve the tech, to be far more 'reliable'. Eh. Sword and parry, that's enough for me.

Since it isn't owned by Disney, maybe the inevitable Ximbolandrewritten will be able to stay up
.5 years to go
I feel so conflicted about this type of site. On one hand, I'm a fan of playing these "problematic" types of games with how they tackle topics you won't find anywhere else, especially with how engrossing the experiences can be. On the other hand, having stuff like this so easily accessible to kids without any proper warnings or age restrictions seems like it would certainly impart some very negative views onto impressionable young minds who would eat up the descriptions.
At the very least, I think I would've enjoyed this site had I been around for its heyday and been able to absorb it healthily (besides the drama, sheesh). As I've grown older I've come to realize that playing dress-up is a surprisingly engaging experience with how meticulous you can get choosing the perfect outfits for a character, and leaning so hard into the bimbo aspect would make for an amusing time.
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear lain
Not gonna lie the premise of this game sounds funny
Heres a solution: actually monitor what your kids do!
hi lain
There is an age restriction actually
The spiteful nature of "This may be Hell but it's our Hell" reminds me so much of Tumblr. It's so strange how you could have a barely functional site that has a specific niche filled, patched together by dedicated users to make it more functional, be terrible to each other in a lot of ways and very kind in others, and then people would rather be dead than ever permanently log off.
The "last non-woke site on the internet" part made me roll my eyes so hard it actually hurt.
fits the website's theme of being a messy disaster perfectly
No wonder he acts like he has his head up his own arse.
then immediately defending how changing the website name bc it offended potential investors totally isn’t PC culture, guys lmao
Careful with your eyes, you still need them to see where you can run and hide.
I remember finding the miss bimbo website, and quickly falling off because the customization and dress up aspects of the game where poor, it was hard to earn currency and the acheivements funneled the users into a certain "look"
ive been playing bimboland for 2 or 3 years now and while i agree some parts of the site are a wholesome community it's not really welcoming or inclusive as a whole. most of the site staff (both actual hired by chris staff and unpaid user moderators) are incredibly confrontational and unpleasant to talk to, outright bigoted, or both. the current only active site coder is a massive transphobe and any forum posts making any mention of this, to this day, get deleted and you might get banned for it. last year people were trying to band together to elect someone new and not bigoted as PB and suddenly a bunch of users, myself included, were permanently banned from the site with no warning or explanation. basically if you had ever had vocal criticisms about the pink house or team bimbo, or were known to be friends with people who had vocal criticisms, you were gone. since then i've just been watching from the sidelines but the forums are still heavily censored with regards to criticism with very uneven and inconsistent enforcement of rules and its not at all uncommon for users to get temporary bans simply because they pissed a staff member off meanwhile other users who constantly bully and start drama get much more slack.
so people who want to join the site because of this video: it can be a genuinely very, very toxic place and most of the staff fucking suck.
wow, that's so lame... imagining making a game about democracy/politics and then banning people for... not being bigoted. such a great "social experiment". Also, I'm curious, is the current PB explicitly bigoted? I'd be interested to know about how they are as a person/what opinions they like to push, if you wanna share at all
@@ByzantineDarkwraith theyre usually not super public about it because they want people to like them and vote for them. the current PB isnt as bad as some of the other current/former pink house members but she did repeatedly cover the coder's ass and censor people for talking about it in the forums and she still enforces the rules unevenly and doesnt really care when people get unfairly punished.
also as an addendum: izzzy mentioned the user-submitted items in the shop and while it was 100% just for chris to avoid paying an artist it's still one of the main draws of the site bc theres so much cool art and (theoretically) a constantly changing and expanding shop.
when people originally tried to call out the main coder for being a massive bigot (and were banned for it) he threw a fit and closed the shop. later he only opened it back up on the condition that any new additions have to be approved by him (previously all shop submissions were reviewed by a group of volunteers), and sometimes he just tells people no without even looking at the items just because he doesnt feel like talking about it. between that and multiple shop volunteers quitting because they didnt want to deal with the shitty coder constantly arguing and misgendering them, shop additions have essentially slowed to a crawl, where it used to get lots of new stuff every couple of weeks, sometimes multiple times a week. the last time we got a bunch of new stuff like we used to was during *christmas* for an advent calendar event, and lots of new items were just crunchy compressed stolen clipart or photos. all of the dedicated regular artists who werent in the pink house already have essentially been driven away, and some of them were sniped in the mass-banning even with how much theyve contributed to the shop. nowadays you're lucky if the shop gets like... a small handful of items each month.
so yeah, one of the main good points of this site has effectively been ruined by shitty, spiteful staff. bimboland history repeats itself.
#transbimborights All girls deserve to be able to play dress-up
@@ByzantineDarkwraith in addition the current pb was the one in charge during the time OP and others were trying to make a change in the pink house staff and it’s suspected that this pb played a role in their banning because they threatened her chances at re-election, further supported by the uneven enforcement of rules
I can't help but chuckle with the abbreviation of "BL" bc all i can think of is "Boy's Love"
And thus "BL site owner doesn't care about their users or this site" got a cackled aloud from me hahaha
Chris sounds like your typical internet provocateur but decided that his outlet would be a fashion doll game instead of Newsground shorts or a webcomic. Well, at least he found a niche to let him thrive.
21:05 Okay, highkey: a game-wide event where admins play the role of villains trying to take over the game sounds incredibly fun. I would love to see something like that tried in a better, more well-managed game.
oml, I love this idea-
I wanna make a website just so I can do that now- 💀💀
all i have to say is... what did people expect, really? the guys who created a site like this to be nice? to be normal??? to care about the dress up and fashion aspect?? about the girls and women genuinely into it for the art and community? HA. i have to laugh, of course these guys would act like this, any guy who sees the phenomenon of the predatory fashion introdustry and beauty standards as something to simply make fun of and blame on women for being vain and stupid is clearly not going to be a very logical person with a head on their shoulders. this was a premeditated tragedy already written out from day one.
Well u do know that the majority of the player base was preteen girls?? how do u except basically kids to get that at an young age?
@@noname-cv8kp why wouldn’t they? it’s an attractive site for young girls cause it’s a dress up game and a take care of __ game. those 2 genres were really popular for young girls (myself included) i can’t imagine an older person playing this cause they obviously know better. preteen girls have no idea this is a joke and the creators knew that, taking it to their advantage.
@@noname-cv8kp oh no no no you misunderstand. Not blaming them here. My overall sentiment here is simply "dont trust people like these to deliver good content and consistency". I extend my solidarity to those who Were just kids and didnt know. Its just I have trouble Seeing how anyone could expect professionalism out of these guys.
@@kindestegg9989 ahh I see
You're so dead on 💞💞💞💞
I used to play MaBimbo religiously as a kid, alongside Moviestarplanet, two games I quit simply because I kept throwing temper tantrums since my dad didn't want to buy in-game currency, a smart decision looking back
The Bimboland state names are pure unadulterated cringe, lmao. They sound exactly like what an early-2000s edgelord would come up with.
It's amusing this guy went "You know what my game centered around a word associated with dumb, shallow women needs? To be associated with my ideal intellectual utopia"
As a fan of bimbos/gyaru/etc, I wholeheartedly agree.
Concentrated awkward looks and uncomfortable vibes into one name.
I do think it's very weird and out of place that the state names are all related to atheism, but why do people think that atheism is edgy?
Right like why do they sound like onision named them?
@@Murhuedur the connotation comes specifically from the "New Atheists" of the early 2000s, who were almost exclusively young white straight guys and who had a very aggressive and condescending attitude towards... basically everyone who wasn't a young white straight male atheist. In the 2010s they basically all moved on to Gamergate and the "anti-SJW" crowd, and nowadays they're functionally indistinguishable from right-wing Christians.
The coexistence of the words "himbo" and "bimbo" implies that women use be/bim pronouns.
Something to think about.
babe wake up new neopronouns just dropped
@@myettechase WHOOOOOOOOOO LES GOOOOOOOOO!
Thanks these are now my pronouns
be/bim kinda makes killer pronouns tho...
@@mungeater999 neopronouns are nontraditional pronouns, aka pronouns other than he, she, and they. different pronouns can speak to different aspects of your identity or gender, and in my opinion they’re a very cool linguistic artform that’s only just now being popularized!
I've never used this site, but I've worked for a couple avatar sites and lemme tell ya... dress up communities are always rife with the most bizarre drama and controversy, both in forum and behind the scenes. there's nothing quite like it
Genuinely! I've made art for some doll dress-up websites and... honestly some are almost exact copies of this, minus the 18+ erotic roleplay done by the admin. I've seen Gosupermodel die by the admins just no longer caring enough while the staff team was trying their best, Virtual Popstar is hosted by a guy who loaths his own community and quite often says how worthless his playerbase is on the forum but refuses to sell the website to people who actually want to bother. It's so bizarre!
i vividly remember this as a kid! i got bored of stardoll so i tried this site, innocently having no idea what the word bimbo meant. my parents saw the name and immediately told me to get off LOL. looking back i'm kinda glad they did because i had no idea about the messed up mechanics especially the obsession with weight and diet pills like, that's just extremely dangerous to little girls who already experience lots of pressure to look a certain way before they even hit puberty.
You wahmen are always a 'victim'
Dress up is fun, but game mechanics that tell you you need to be skinny or else you're worth less is actively dangerous for anyone who doesn't fully get the sarcastic intention.
I can't believe it wasn't at least 16+
i was a young child when i played this (i'm 16 now, by the way) . i was part of that 8% and i actually tried to starve myself to get thinner , i hadn't realized just how bad that was until now .. i have honestly blocked out a lot of memories of playing this game but i do remember i was drawn to this game because of the pretty characters . i don't always think the sole content of games can affect players so much but it actually influenced me quite a bit. i would get weirdly obsessed with my weight and i still am today , it's a habit i haven't been able to get out of unfortunately. i was very obsessive about how i looked, hating every "imperfect" thing about me. that bit has gotten better now, i've slowly learned to accept myself.
i think this game affected me so negatively because i was already so mentally ill back then, i was in a really tough time and had been for so long , this game didnt really help
i was also just a casual player, i wasn't active in forums or anything , was just there for the outfits and the satisfaction of levelling up so i have no say on anything that happened , but the stuff i did see , i was just confused then but it feels like such a fever dream now
also , i remember the site breaking and i was so distraught but im glad it did now , i lost interest in the game and was able to forget about it , i never found out about bimboland or played it , i pride myself on that
anyways, if anyone does read this , hope u had fun reading my lil infodump lol
I hope you’re doing better now. I don’t know what else to say; I just wanted to let you know.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I really think it may be in your best interest to ask your parents to monitor your internet access for you. You sound very impressionable and there's a lot of websites on the Internet that are not good for minors to be on.
@@kongoubongo2970 dw , ive matured since then and i'm doing good for myself ! i'll be 17 soon , just in a few months , i've already seen the worst of the internet due to unnamed things. since i've seen so much i know what to avoid and i'm not as influenced by what i see in media now, i trust myself. i've been going to therapy n such & straying from things that could harm me mentally
i do get the concern though! no offense taken
I’m going to go out on a limb to say that it wasn’t the game that encouraged bad habits, but it was more than likely that you found the site at a vulnerable point in time. It can happen to anyone.
@@eringrl101 right-o! i wasn't in a safe mental space at that time, so seeing that kind of stuff just upped my thoughts to a harmful degree. the game itself didn't encourage anything to my knowledge, it was just a controversial topic, but it sure did stick in my head as a mentally ill child back then
I'm french and loved that game! Honestly i only played it as a dress up game. I would lie if it didnt affect me a bit. But its not worse than what was seen on TV at that time....
The boyfriends names were so funny too, and there were lots of fun minigames to make your bimbo's IQ higher
The french site is still up lol
Still up?
yes! i'm chilean and played the spanish version religiously as a kid, i don't remember the spanish name though. i used to play a graphic novel game owned by the same company and the page had a drop down menu with other games, that's how i discovered it, i loved the minigames :')
@@MossPathway the French version is still there to play, it's just that there's no more content being created for it but the forum is still active
@@mauroc1896 I think the visual nover you're referring to is "Amour Sucré" or "Corazon de Melon" in spanish !
@@mauroc1896 i also played amour sucré, but it was very grindy so i lost interest pretty quick. Those games were very fun and i look back at them fondly
Hey, i appreciate that you took the time to make a video on this topic! I do want to make note for anyone who may be looking to join for the meme: the site is full of homophobia and transphobia specifically from the administration of the game.
Chris, the creator, has stopped being active due to his attempt at making the game welcome to minors (but still keeping the nsfw items up for sale and strewn about the game with no way to block them from sight or lock them for users who have put in a birthday that's 18+) but the person with the most power currently goes by Mariolka.
Mariolka has repeatedly misgendered staff users to their faces and mocked them when told to use the correct pronouns (and further encourages this in users such as Butterfly and Lillyann who are both current "state ministers",) and to mention anything of being lgbt or neurodivergent can result in getting called a slur. An issue is also that when people defend themselves from scenarios such as this, often their defenses will be deleted and they will be "jailed" or even banned. The moderation banned the word "girlboss" in the forums because it was used to describe one of the mod team members who was going on a tirade defending herself in misgendering a transgender user. The moderation is also prone to shutting down discussion boards and deleting posts made by users in the "Lets Be Real" thread for calling out other users for blatant homophobia and transphobia, as well as racism.
Obviously, you're free to do what you want but i think this is important to make known for anyone who may want to join just for the meme. There are multiple documents readily available, and i would be happy to link them if anyone showed interest in reading them.
can back this up! i’ve been on since 2019 and was a shop worker for a hot minute. please be careful, especially in the forums!
I'd love to see that documentation, I was curious about joining the site when hearing it had been taken over by LGBTQIA+ people but this makes me take a step back a bit.
Of course, I grew up socializing in the TH-cam comments so I think I could handle it.
@@aroma_tic oh, it's gotten much worse. One of the mentioned state ministers, lilyann, who very blatantly misgendered a user and then: went on the aforementioned tirade of having comments calling her out for it edited, banning the word girlboss as "a slur against her", and overall just throwing a hissy fit (instead of actually apologizing for it,) has won prime bimbo, meaning she gets cuts of the earnings of money paid for senatorships. The "let's be real" thread documented in this video was also shut down by the pink house, a thread that has been going for years and where the pink house really showed their true colors.
I'm going to direct you to: primebimbo.tumblr.com/post/647129102560673792/this-document-is-meant-to-inform-other-users-of
Which has not only the document on it, but gives you the tumblr where more stuff is documented as it happened and continues to update when new stuff happens.
@@jadapinkett1656 the minority ones or the mod groups? I’m so confused
whew, that seems right on par for them...
I was hoping it would've been a satire game made to mock all these things aimed at adults which could've been great. They kinda implied it was supposed to be that but their actions and handling of the situation didn't make it work.
The french version was and is still basically that.
Right above you there's a comment. And in the comment replies there's someone with the same pfp as you.
Also, love your name.
@@carrot7868 thank you 😭
"the amount of drag against Paris Hilton is surprising" it was America/UK in 2008. That's the only explanation needed unfortunately
yup she was seen as the d3v1l for getting attention they gave to her and acting like a typical rich person about time.
At the time, it wasn't exactly clear why she was even famous in the first place. She was the granddaughter of the owner of a hotel conglomerate and a middling fashion model with no major accomplishments. in 2008, she's been followed by the media for about 10 years without any mention of WHY. And at the time, she gave off the air of a wealthy materialist who was too important for the plebeians who were suddenly worshipping her. That likely had to do with the fact that when it first started, she was a teenager who wasn't really trying to be a public figure. To say she's "just a bimbo" now is a detriment to her success, which came from a combination of shrewd business acumen and creativity.
It’s the same cringy crap with Kim K. Why do people care so much and constantly show them? Some people are mindless, I wonder what it’s like to be around them.😕
@@OtakuUnitedStudio The main reason she was famous in the first place was because of a leaked 'rich heiress scandalous sex tape' or something like that which went viral from what I was told. Swiftly after that the media latched onto her as a 'rich airheaded' stereotype which was easy to mock and shame, though yeah she has done some stuff that proves she's more than that now.
The posts from the Admins about the bodyguard update has the same energy as every customer service message from Dolls Kill
pfffft. yes xD
Where is the lie?
I was an artist for the site a couple of years ago, and seeing my crappy pixel art in your video makes me so happy! :D Thank you so much for making a video on Bimboland :)
So Chris did sexual rp on the forums and allowed those under 18 to join the game. And adamantly fought with anyone who suggested that either thing shouldn't be happening.
I'm not saying he's a predator, but this is definitely all the red flags for how one gets started.
I played for a long time when it was miss bimbo then it got really weird. Chris's (sweetasnuts) late night rants were bizarre! I was convinced he was trying to tank the game but for what reason I couldn't figure out. I finally put my girl on vacation and just didn't log on again. It was probably the oddest and most aggressive contention filled relationship between a site runner and the players that I've witnessed.
I did love the dolls though, and the tons of clothing. The grind to next level wasn't the best but checking in once a day to do stuff for a few minutes and change her outfit was still a fun little time waster.
This is what I remember. I was an early avid online shopper using visa gift cards and I’d use the last couple dollars to buy things for mine. I got pretty far too.
"I put my girl on vacation and didn't log on again" sounds just like sending someone to a farm upstate.
hi! im meatbomb!! ex-state minister, almost prime bimbo, and was extremely active on this site, and still am, theres unfortunately plenty more current drama on this site, like them banning over 200 exclusively lgbt users overnight and the only site admin threatening to harm an artist working for him. really crazy shit
Yikes, what a "wonderful" site...
damn..
Damn, I guess it isn't surprising for someone like Chris, and a website like MB to be homophobic :/
Sorry about your permaban. Chris sucks.
Damn there is some dark shit on your version on the game, im shook is was so chill and open minded on the french version
I used to play a couple of Beemoov games as a kid and while i didn't play miss bimbo, i was on My Candy Love and it had its share of drama. Adding a sex scene knowing that most users were young teens and making them lose their reward (an illustration) if they skipped it, the abundance of sexual content in the following seasons, getting rid of three of the five love interests after the first season with no warning, one of the new love interests being your teacher (and having him be falsely accused of sexual harassment by a female student right as metoo was trending, which was weird at best), losing millions of accounts due to a server issue... it was pretty wild.
The worst decision was to remove the three love interests, Lysander was my favorite, I stopped playing because of that. (google translate)
I think Rayan was a love interest because a lot of fans fetishize Mr Faraize in MCL High School and Beemov jossing that in weird Peggy's rumour in last episode. ChiNoMiko fever and horny dreams started in (in)famous episode 40 and continues in MCL University are one of reasons devs ruin MCL. MCL Alternate Life don't fix huge plothole between MCL and MCLU - Rosalia and Leo forget about Lysander and leave him at the village? Why Alexy contact with Armin only in Alternate Life and in MCLU he didn't mention him?
(English is not my first lenguage) Also the controversy of taking down content creators's videos after they became popular 😭.At least they added a Female love route but they didn't need to remove 3 love interest.
Beemoov removing Armin’s and Kentin’s routes was the sole reason I never cared about keeping up with the university lmao
bro i completely forgot about that game i used to play it so much. i had no idea it was owned by the ppl who made my bimbo 😭😭
Waiting for some dedicated players to seduce chris for his password and then take over the site by completely locking him out, banning him, and then giving the site back to the people, lol
I feel bad for whoever has to take that L for the team
With this act, the players would be able to take the site to it's true end goal: the implementation of Anarcho-Bimboism
ferb, i know what we're gonna do today
Ooooh, I used to play My Bimbo back when i was in like, middle school. Mostly i liked the character creator aspect. I also found their refusal to let the Bimbos have kids so that babies couldn't be mistaken as a accessory or treat them like a pet to be surprisingly mature since a bunch of other sites allowed kids or babies to basically be pets in game 😬
The antagonism between the users and staff reminds me of Neopets, in a way. Most Neopets users HATE The Neopets Team with a passion, or at the very least, they despise Jumpstart for forcing TNT's hand in making them make some really stupid decisions.
"Take your head out of your ass and please buy some Bimbo dollars" - Chris, literally every conversation
Always a great day when Izzy uploads. Love this one especially. "Fucked up guy runs a fucked up site" is a story you've told 100 times but it's never old, love to hear how history repeats itself.
being a moderator is awful, not gonna lie... I've been stalked, i've had emotional moments in tiny chats screenshotted and sent to me to mock my mental health, i've had sexual harassment, people accuse you of being too controlling all the time when you are just fucking following and enforcing rules someone else told you to enforce
I had to quit and I've moderated on MULTIPLE separate occasions, years apart on different websites... all awful.
Oof, I hope your mental state is stable from all that.
That sucks, I’m sorry :( why are people so terrible? Like they have to feel better about their own pitiful lives by tearing others down
Christ, I am sorry for you, no one should go through harassment :/ It doesn't matter if you're a mod or not you don't deserve it.
@Acolyte of Dagon On the internet this is honestly not true half the time though? I can think up countless times where normal members of communities bully and harass mods to get "special treatment" (read: be ignored/appeased because theyre too bothersome, like a internet karen even) and break rules w/o punishment. It goes both ways, the victim card is so easy to play if you're an asshole with no human decency.
@Acolyte of Dagon
... they were a mod, not a Nazi.
I originally played Miss Bimbo in middle school or high school, and I think I only stopped because I lost my username and password. I was honestly just there to play dress up and see how skanky I could make my bimbo look. Now at the age of 30 I've rejoined the site and for the most part I feel like is relatively the same. My favorite thing besides the hyper feminine aesthetic is the debates; I like seeing what people think about certain topics, and who leans which way on each topic. A fair amount of people have blocked me after losing a debate or a fashion battle with me, but that's the only negativity I've noticed.
how r u getting to actually debate ppl w arguements.. i debate w are just for farming and dont even say anything
there’s something so ominously poetic about the og website falling apart at the seams to just hyperlinks and basic images. it’s like the descent of a grand family. it’s grey gardens. horrifying.
