Candy Cigarettes, Bubble Blowing Pipes, & Bubblegum Cigars!

[TINSTAAFL]

That's all it would take, for a compromise Gaia! Children buy these things in the masses everywhere, from conveniant stores to your local Wal-Mart.
Why, oh why, Gaia can you not do a name change, and refrain from your extremist ways? gonk

I just feel like someone was seriously lacking in imagination, here. Seriously, gaia, how hard is it to turn the smoker or the kiserus into bubble pipes? Just add another pose with bubbles coming out of the pipes and change the description to something like 'A silly toy pipe, perfect for when you're too lazy to blow bubbles the normal way. But remember, kids! tobacco is addictive, bad for your health, and makes you incredibly unsexy.' 9_9 Would that be so hard?

Or how about an extra pose for the cig and cigar to make them look like trick cigars. Have the front halves blackened/peeled back like in cartoons, maybe with a face-full of soot and with a similar type of description lambasting actual smoking.It seems like a pretty quick adjustment to me.

How about this for an example:

Bubbles not obvious enough for yah? Make them brighter colors, make them bigger, whatever, but I think a change like that can certainly stop the item from qualifying as a tobacco item.
(Note: copied the bubbles from the Inari's Beads bubbles pose.)

I don't know, maybe the reason Gaia blocked these items is because they were sued, or there was an attempt, and maybe they feel like these type of parodies would be too dangerous. But we don't know that, do we, because they haven't told us anything! Damnit gaia, would a little extra explanation for your actions be too much to ask?!

If I was a parent, I wouldn't let my kid buy those fake cigarettes irl, but... on here it's just a pixel item.. I don't see why it matters anyways.

If they ban cigarettes, why don't they just ban guns, and things similar to Alruna?

[xXAnnon_KiiXx]

If I was a parent, I wouldn't prolly encourage them to buy them either. But somehow, despite all that, they seem to sell hot as ever over the past few decades. lol
I'm actually thinking Yilanti Midnight might have something, and this is all kind of a hoaks just for today. God, I hope so... I kinda was hoping to get a smoker one of these days.

Omg yes. I would FOR REAL use the bubble cigar.

Or, as I suggested in my other thread, we could get a lollipop like that guy from One Piece after 4Kids put their stick up his butt.

Don't even joke about that, man. 4Kids ruined one of my favorite shows ever. emo

Same here.. I still haven't bothered with Funimation's version.

[Kouroneko]

thats a good idea! BUT i think its ridiculous to ban the smokes.
either its all ok, or none of it is.
there are really people out there that smoke. our Avis are supposed to mini us's right? or just our inner us's. we can't do that now if we smoke!
(btw i don't smoke- and i smoked candy ones when i was little)

[diet otaku]

don't forget e-cigarettes and ICIG-R!

[Solo26]

I want the real stuff back.

[Lolli Of The Army]

Who says smoking doesn't make you sexy...

Because they like to hear us b***h.
Because they love pissing us off.

It would have been much better I agree.

[DarthDub]

Do want.

[xThe No-Life King]

I don't understand. Even the cigs and cigars didn't have smoke puffing out of them. Wouldn't they look exactly like candy versions?


....Unless that's what you mean, and they just change the description to say they're candy and not real. Then yeah, to that, I agree.
