Well, yeah, there's probably always something that someone isn't familiar with, like Greek mythology could have been one of those themes. But then people can do some research if they want to join. I did some research too.
And if you don't like or don't know about  the theme, then don't vote for it.

but then if you're just gonna tell people to do research, what's even the point of the "no themes based off shows/books/ect" rule since that could just apply to any book/show/movie? the Alice in wonderland themes break that rule and it doesn't make sense to include them anyway just because you think it's a popular series, there are still a lot of people who aren't that familiar with it

This is getting out of hand. The rule states only about movies and TV shows . Even if it is as traggot says and the rule was introduced cos of book. And I believe in s/he's words cos there is no point to lie.
I as a player of 4 months can't know that by reading the rules! So the rules need to be supplemented by a paragraph about books or let it go.
And in theme " TEA TIME WITH MAD HATTERthere is no need to know anything about the storyline. You just need to go to drink tea with a hatter who is mad and in a hat. If the theme would be called  "TEA TIME WITH HATTER WHO'S MAD" and description stayed the same you would be OK with it?
Btw I don't see anybody complaining about "The World of Jane Austen".

Like TokiKonoe said, I think that when it comes to creating PBFC outfits, there is some research to do. Personally, I always do some research no matter the theme or even when creating basic outfits. To me, PBFC outfits represent the creativity of bimbos/himbos. It's fun because at the end of the day, everyone has different styles that's unique to their own and just being able to see the different representations no matter the subject is something that I look forward each month. To be frank, I find it odd that the only themes that are highly targeted are the the wonderland themes. Like Blecky89 mentioned, there is also "The World of Jane Austen" which is also a book. 

Looking back at all the themes, there are quite a few more themes based off TV shows/movies/books/media/bedtime stories like "the land of the fae" theme, "Heaven or Hell" theme, "Influencers Of The 2000's" theme, "Freaky Friday" theme, "Eurovision Song Contest Look" theme, "Rewind Time" theme, "MerMay Underwater Extravaganza" theme. These are all themes that have some sort of connection with the the cinematographic world, yet no negative comments have been made regarding them. My point is that I strongly think that it's okay to have a little something connecting both the themes to the media. We, creative minds, get inspired by legendary creatures and I personally think that it's awesome. After all, we live in a society mainly focused on TV shows/movies and mythical stories. And although a bimbo/himbo is not familiar with a specific theme, what would the odds be that the bimbo/himbo would vote for that theme? probably none and so the non familiar themes would be left behind the most common, well-known and easy theme would be chosen. 

Now, looks like the "Heaven and Hell" theme is taking the lead and to be honest I don't see why such a fuzz was created in such a short amount of time on themes that will certainly not be winning. How about looking at the positive side of things and being grateful for the fact that we have so many themes to choose from? Not to mention that each theme is so unique and so well thought of! It's it amazing? I personally had a hard time choosing a theme myself! 

Lastly, everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect and I personally think that being negative in situations like this won't help it and so how about instead of dragging people down, spending this precious time and thinking about an outfit ideas for a potential winner theme :) 

Btw: If I've offended anyone in any way, it wasn't my intention and I am deeply sorry.

If I remember right that specific rule was made after orient express theme because not enough people knew it or had heard of it before - I didn't know it either and I had to do research.
I don't see anything wrong with people doing research of themes they aren't familiar with but still want to join - or if they just want to find inspiration.
Torrenoia, I see your point and I know what you mean, but if we aimed only for themes that wouldn't require any research from anyone, we'd have to go with very vague themes all the time. With this logic we couldn't have had Greek mythology met gala or 7 deadly sins themes, or have for example tarot cards theme in the future (which was on 2nd place in the previous poll) because not everyone is familiar with those themes. 

And for me, some themes that can be seen more as whole universes (ie. wonderland, Harry Potter...) can't be compared to orient express because overtime they have became more than single (book)/movie/TV show.

As I said earlier, I won't be making a new poll, mad hatter and wonderland madness don't make any difference even if their votes were counted together because heaven and hell is in clear lead now.

I feel like there's a difference between themes expecting people to have read/watched a specific book/movie/show vs something that can be easily googled. e.g. alice in wonderland and jane austen involve specific media, but greek mythology/tarot cards/etc. are easily googlable without having to actually read much about them. The difference isn't in how specific they are, but accessibility to all users that may not want to read a book or watch a movie/show to understand what the theme is.

(just putting my 2 cents in for future polls, I know it doesn't matter for this poll rn)

... literally only two of these are based off specific TV shows/movies/books/media/bedtime stories though? and i'd say the eurovision can be pretty easily understood without any strong concept of eurovision, "song contest look" tells you what it's looking for. the freaky friday one is also literally just a bodyswap theme, the only thing that it specifically takes from the films freaky friday are their name.

and in reference to the discussion of the austen theme, it isnt a surprise or a sign of preference that people are more likely to notice the theme that has two variants and was already being discussed. thats literally just how the brain works, when you read things multiple times obviously youre going to end up more likely to notice them.

I don’t know what’s going on.
Tad disappointed Birds of a feather didn’t get many. I mean it’s not original I know but it’s different from the typical themes picked.

It’s always pop culture reference. Or popular party themes.


How many Halloween parties and birthdays have done the same old heaven and hell theme.?

Sorry just - it’s tiresome. I’d like there to be something very - not!
but I’ll still enter and because I’ve become a fan of Helluva Boss - I’ll do one the demons from that

You really don't need to watch or read whole wonderland to get an idea what it is about, you can easily google it and you'll find plenty of pictures, videos and even the plot. I definitely did not watch/read Orient express to find out what it was about. Still, heaven and hell is winning, so you don't even have to worry about that.


The themes are in the poll and it will stay the way it is and I'm sorry that it upsets you. What about for once you look at the positive side, you get to suggest a theme and then vote in the poll - you have a real chance to involve in decision making here. We could still have Hlbs automated themes instead. Would you prefer that? You complain but don't suggest anything to make it better. The rules are old and I kept them but they can be changed to avoid disappointment in the future.
