VMK Vampires -_-

[kaitykatz7]

yeah now we have the problem of VMK Vampires they bite people and say evil things who ever thought of this oh im so mad at them!!!

 

[lab_girl]

'course they say 'bit' when they bite you, and you just have to laugh.
So lame.

It really is weird. One of my friends on VMK went from nice, innocent, kid to rich, nice, innocent kid to rich vampire.

Keep in mind the VMK values ... biting people sounds a bit like a threat and may be viewed that way to a small child on the game. I would report it to the VMK staff if you find it offensive.

I do not care for it. My girls were bit today and they asked me why and what it meant. It is very annoying. I know alot of teenagers who right now are infatuated by witchcraft, etc.

I do not get the fascination with it.

I wonder if it's left-over from Buffy and Angel?

Not that I ever watched. It was all my DW.

 

[Buzzfanmom]

How ridiculous! And we thought getting married was bad, not to mention the armies. I shudder to think of what these kids will do next!

I couldn't believe two of the rooms I saw as a three mickey head room at the top of the list. One was "spin the bottle" and the other was something and "make out". I think it was "merry and make out". Both of those stayed on the list for hours. Since "cyber" activities are not allowed on VMK, how can those rooms be allowed?

 

[surferrat]

I would say we need to report things that we see unfit for this type of game.

 

[lovethattink]

How do you report this kind of thing. I haven't seen it yet, but have seen lots of vampires in profile sigs

 

[debbiedoo]

I saw a person yesterday that was dressed in black at the jungle cruise deck asking ppl if they wasnt to be vampires---I was like--oh no--


I think we need to report our concerns--

 

[JeanJoe]

Just curious, why are people so against vampires? Is it much better to be a pirate, when you think historically what pirates did, for real? (As opposed to what fictional vampires did; unless you want to talk about Vlad the Impaler)

I agree if someone role-playing a "vampire" at VMK is going around upsetting other kids by "bit"-ing them, sure, they should be made to stop harrassing people.

But otherwise, what's the problem? I try to keep in mind -- kids will be kids. Let them play while they still can, so long as they don't ruin things for anyone else.

Just my opinion. Feel free to disagree

Vampires have no place in Disney. Online or in the parks.

Seriously, when was the last time you had vampires in a Disney movie or theme park? There weren't any!

We should report these to VMK staff.

my vmk friend was a vampire and i plainly told how dumb it was and ignored her until she gave up being one i was like your a what! she tried to bite me and i was like you bite me and ill never talk to you again it got the message across

Sorry, have to disagree. Vampires have been part of the haunted mansion.

Okay, the first link does list a vampire, but nowhere in the second link is there a mention. I did "find in page" on Firefox for both links.

But tell me this, Joe: Was there any vampire activity going on in Disney before the VMK Vampires invaded? Hmmm?

 

[surferrat]

I have to agree that the vampire activity, the "merried rooms", the spin the bottle roms are all getting out of hand..

I will have to say that if I see anyone "bit" anyone else it will get reported, rooms I see on the list that may be offensive to the family atmosphere or kid atmosphere will be reported...

sorry but that is not something that should be in this type of atmosphere of a game....

That is my honest opionion...and that is all it is...

I have to agree with Be on this one. Its no different in context than dressing up as a princess. Unless they are harrassing or treating people with anger, then where is the harm? Why isn't anyone complaining about the aliens walking around threatening to take over VMK?

My two cents. As an older mother of a young child, whom also plays vmk (when I am not logged on!), I can see both sides of this thread.

As far as reporting goes though, I think it would be a good idea to stop for a moment before reporting. Think back to your childhood. Mine was spent playing cowboys/indians (today's armies), I played house (boy/girl friends, marriage, babies), certainly played doctor, and summer nights playing hide and seek or ghosts (vampires). I remember "spying" on older siblings and neighborhood kids - giggling and learning of things as yet unknown (some of those rooms).

Yes, we do need to be vigilant for our children with today's issues. But, if you are with your child while they are on the web (vmk or not) you can explain things you do/do not like.

And, as far as the reporting, please try to stop and think back, to your own childhood, before you choose to report a child for nothing worse than, being a child at play. (vmk's target market)
