A growing number of concerned Neopians have founded the Anti Neopian movement which seeks reveal some of the problematic issues associated with the Neopets website. Some issues which have concerned people in the movement are the Scientology issue ( the theory in which scientology is promoted in Neopets itself), the Australian article: "In October of 2004, while McDonald's Corporation was promoting Neopets plushies in their Happy Meals, a story on the Australian news show Today Tonight featured a nine-year-old boy claiming that the site requires one to gamble in order to receive enough Neopoints to feed one's Neopet, or else it is sent to an orphanage.", Immersive advertising which is seen by many to be immoral and unethical especially when the target demographic is children, Crude chat boards on which disscussion of Satanic rituals, Sexual conduct, and violence occur, and unfair freezing, which occurs very frequently especially with very little pretense or none at all. The movement formally has about 1,000 members and dozens of websites. However there is widespread discontent on Neopets, so much so that some studies say that 20% of Neopians harbor similar views privately.
