You can see the gender of the player, when you go to chat boards
When you go to the Battledome chat board most of the players are males
When you go to the customization board, most of the players are females
(And then there's the attention seeking assholes who call themselves "other" but we don't talk about those)
Funny lol
That's not to say guys don't customize or girls don't battle. Most players do both. But its clear who has greater interest in what.
Of course the people in charge of neopets would be in denial of this though, considering they are extremely woke
I have a Neopets account that's approaching 20 years old and my poor neglected pets are still around. Maybe I'll do something for them after all this time. I logged into the site for the first time in over a decade a year or two ago and they've sent me several emails about returning since.
It's the same with The Sims series. It was always a female leaning franchise but 4 is way more female leaning than 3 because the house building and Sim design options got better while the actual gameplay went to shit.
I have a dead account that is actually now broken and may have been purged.
