What would be your dream Summer Event theme??

[Javin]

I'd love to see a Pirate or Steampunk theme, or maybe Oriental. Or something a little different like a Venetian masquerade.

[hand me a leg]

I'd really like an event based off old fighting games, like street fighter

a pirate theme would be really cool! or wild west!

Fallout / mad max
Alice in wonderland
Back to the future / time travel
Wizard of oz
Grimm brothers fairytales
Ancient Egypt

1 Avatar movie- themed animals event
(are many different creatures to fit in)

2 dinosaur - themed event

I second this! Reptile Expo and Bug World would be cool too

A steampunk themed event would be fun! It could crossover with other ideas like time travel, pirate, etc.

i really love the steampunk idea!! very versatile theme :-D

Supporting the steampunk and neon rave/festival ideas!
I also think a 'shrunk down' theme could be cool (like the game grounded, or toy story!)

Post Apocalypse: Surviving in the wasteland fits right in with the event activity of trading in tokens and items for new stuff. A cool chance at some really grungy, fun items and pets. Armor made from street signs, hockey masks, mutated creatures and backgrounds and scenery that would really fit well with that item set from Halloween 2023, because those items are super cool, but we don't really have relevant backgrounds to use them on top of right now.

I love this omg!!
There's really nothing wrong with the theme imo, plenty of things use it. If you're really that upset by it simply don't participate ¯\_(°3°)_/¯
Tons of people really like the idea of it too. I don't understand wanting to "protect" the site from it?? There are plenty of games that use the theme and are still incredibly family friendly. I also don't see how it's not appropriate given this day and age? The world ending is not around the corner? It's not like the CS staff would be making horrible bloody pets? This site is, and has always been, perfectly fine for children. One summer event won't change that. That's like saying the cryptids from the last summer event were bad and ruined the site because a 13 year old saw it.
The slumber party event didn't ruin it because of the Nightmare theme. The space event didn't harm anyone with the alien designs. The Halloween events have had their share of "not innocent" designs such as the green witch bunny (which has anti-semetic history). One event will not ruin anything for anyone. It seems rude to say no one else can have fun with this event/theme. Some people are grossed out by bugs but it's not like they've been banned from the site? Spiders, rats, scorpions, and snakes haven't ruined this for anyone.

Point is, this theme is fine and several people really want it. The theme is already on the site, sp obviously the staff doesnt think its inappropriate. From oekaki, to role-playing, to even items and pets from past events. There's nothing wrong with it. I strongly support this theme. An Apocalypse is a hypothetical, and that's all there is to it.
Being so against the event idea because it's "inappropriate" simply isn't a valid reason.

I don't have a strong opinion on an apocalypse event either way, but these are poor arguments honestly. Cryptids aren't real, nightmares are normal and don't cause widespread devastation, aliens as we depict them are fictional, the reason why witches have pointy hats and green skin is heavily debated and not settled, and phobia-inducing animals aren't comparable to war, famine, urban decay, government corruption, climate/natural disasters, disease, invasions, and mass death, which millions of people and animals have to deal with every day.
I wouldn't mind an apocalypse event (but again, I have no strong opinion either way), but I think you could use better points to argue your case.
