part of why i love vp is that its all girls gays and theys. the internet has always sucked for girls and these spaces are soooo important for teenage girls. girls have always found safetey in pixel doll community games. the palace dollz is probably the earliest example in the mid 90s. i was addicted to this shit in 1999. 



i think youre right that a gsm comeback would need a young audience to be sustainable. look at vp and everskies. pretty clear to me that its still teenage girls driving these types of sites. 

my prediction is a gsm comeback would start off with all of us old ladies online for nostalgia and then a couple hit tiktoks will draw in the everskies crowd.

this one was always the vibe I made my dolls with lol
I even remember this hair specifically

me and my childhood bff learned to code on neopets and we even made a couple drag-and-drop dollmakers when we were like 8 or 9 (we went on to write all the tutorials for how to code profiles on gsm, too)

she's a software engineer now making six figures
girls spaces matter

my myspace profiles were SO extra and I really thought folks actually gave a shit lol

like I hid all the myspace info and had boxes with frames in them for every single little detail I could think of
same with my vampirefreaks
