Have you seen this?
Miss Bimbo
Here's a blurb:
"The latest in online games for girls is Miss Bimbo: Virtual Fashion Game!. Think of it as a “Paris Hilton” simulator aimed at 9-16 year old girls. This is basically a Tamagochi-style MMO where you care for and groom your Bimbo avatar to be the most popular, coolest bimbo ever. You’ll power-up by carefully nurturing her eating disorder with diet pills and giving her breast implants. Grinding is achieved by scoping out rich boy-toys to leech off of."
An article: Alarm as doll gets breast implants in "Miss Bimbo"
You have GOT to be kidding me. I hope every last one of you will join me in lobbing emails, letters, phone calls or whatever correspondence you prefer at this misogynistic idiocy. As if there isn't already an arsenal of toxic influence on young girls without an online tutorial of how to be an anorexic gold-digger. 9 year olds? I can't even make sense of this! WHO is allowing their daughter to partake in this nonsense? How did we get so screwed up as to make eating disorders seductive to children?
Here's a quote from the designer of this game:
"It is not a bad influence for young children. They learn to take care of their bimbos. The missions and goals are morally sound and teach children about the real world." Nicolas Jacquart
Thanks for clarifying, Nicolas. Perhaps Nick should spend less time "leveling up" and more time trying to get a date.
