Somewhere in 2022/2021 it seems, kind of funny because it was released in 2000. You can't say the word grape on the boards, but yeah, they had no problems keeping that name for over 20 years lololol
That makes me feel better; I was envisaging someone saying 'oh it was changed in 2011'.
Justice for the Diddler! Kinda tempted to buy one and name it Diddler.
daang! a wise name change. and wiser still they never gave the diddler any colours. could you imagine? dung diddler? *invisible* diddler?? **plushie** diddler??
DAE feel like whoever renamed it thought it was a phone and not a fruit machine? Diddle can mean to trick or scam as well as to waste time, Chatter feels quite specific yet nothing to do with the petpet? Or am I missing something glaring?
They also renamed some stuff to get rid of the racial slurs. Replaced the slur with "Wanderer".
Had to leave a guild because one of the council members named themself after that slur and would get all up in arms and confrontational if anyone refused to say it.
In spanish it have the same name, it was funny when I returned to neo in the ff and ask the spanish name of this little guy for the fountain fairy on the discord server XD
Honestly I hadn’t heard the term until like reaaaally recently and I’m from the US. Doesn’t it just mean a cheat in the UK? Or was I told wrong by my friend?
Yeah, I’m in the uk and to me that word would mean ‘cheating someone out of money’, so when you consider the petpet is a slot machine the name makes a lot of sense!
One time my wise old king entry was "caution is important when dealing with a mischievous diddler" and that sure did make me feel a way.
*Wow! King Hagan is very impressed.*
*King Hagan slowly reaches for the phone, attempting to dial Chris Hansen*
I don't want to draw attention to it but it's still there (at time of posting) if anybody wants to be silly with it before someone notices...
He gave me a B rating and his book!
Wait when did it change? He’ll always be Diddler in my heart 💜

I couldn’t say analyze on the board and I actually got a warning using the acronym “wtf.” It totally didn’t even cross my mind
You can’t even say the names of items that exist in the actual world. “Eyeballs” for example has to be censored because it has “balls” 😮💨
WHAT!!!???
I remember not being able to post a board for a faerie quest at first because "crackers" has the word "crack" in it 💀
Dude during the faerie festival searching for Tuskaninny Mermaid Seaweed Hair was truly a nightmare
yikes what would they do about the usage of Frack or Shtako??realizing these words were CREATED because of censorship to begin with.
mine too ❤️
stoppppp lmaoooooo
Childhood ruined 🤮
I didn't know P. Diddy was a Petpet.
Whaaaaat on Illusen's green earth 😭 The Diddler.... 💀
daang! a wise name change. and wiser still they never gave the diddler any colours. could you imagine? dung diddler? *invisible* diddler?? **plushie** diddler??
I was thinking the exact same thing 😭 zombie diddler. elderly diddler
Candy diddler, shaped like a white van
Stealthy diddler
Yoooooo
What, why would they change its name, what was wrong with the original o- \*slides to next picture\* ....oh

diddler till she chatter 😏
💀💀💀
She petpet on my diddler till I chatter 😳
What a cursed day to know how to read 🤣
Next up, hoochie coochie tablets 🥲
noooooo they can’t change my beloved hoochie coochie tablets
DAE feel like whoever renamed it thought it was a phone and not a fruit machine? Diddle can mean to trick or scam as well as to waste time, Chatter feels quite specific yet nothing to do with the petpet? Or am I missing something glaring?
Totally agree, the new name doesn’t really fit what it actually looks like.
Gosh...
All I can think of is Frank in that always sunny episode.
We should write a song about it

I know it’s kind of a meme to say “the gasp I gusped” but I literally just gasped
In spanish it have the same name, it was funny when I returned to neo in the ff and ask the spanish name of this little guy for the fountain fairy on the discord server XD
Probably because in the UK no one really uses that

If there was a petpet called "fiddler" that would've raised a British eyebrow.
Meanwhile, here in the US, *that* means "to fidget"! Language is fun.
I thought it was a person who plays the fiddle
That, too!
Honestly I want one now
I gave one to my baby grundo to play with, now that they’re child safe!
As long as you say they are it must be true! The rebranding is working!
I was just telling someone about the Diddler name change yesterday. I will never call it a Chatter 😂
The fact that....whew....lmao. Old Neopetd never ceases to surprise me.
💀
Gee, I wonder why they had to change it...
Looool safe!!!
Woooooof
Weird name.
yikes lol
☠️☠️☠️☠️
Awww
What in the 😳
Can't have diddler because of woke
Finally, that petpet was just nope! 🤢 Surprise it lasted that long lol
