AFO RECAP
7-1-2024we are thrilled to report that AFO WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!! as we'd hoped, the 18+ marketplace was a perfect fit for the gang, and the table felt busier than ever before! hopefully more anime cons will implement these adult areas in the future!!
our table, uncensored!
with our back-to-back conventions done, we've got a bit of a break until our first online convention, citrus con in august! stay tuned for a big shop update with all of our new merch after ringo-chan gets a bit of much-needed rest! thank you for your continued support, as always! (─‿‿─)
AFO THIS WEEKEND
6-28-2024hey gang! here with a quick recap/update between cons -- bold matsuri last weekend went great!! the stamp rally was a huge success and will definitely be run again in the future (most likely at wasabicon later this year)! huge thanks to everyone who participated or stopped by to grab some goodies!
our boldmat table!
this weekend we're at anime festival orlando! you can find us in the 18+ marketplace, at table A12 (highlighted here in RED!) you can walk through the vendor room to access it during the day, or around the side to the after hours entrance! we'll be working LATE (till 12am on friday, 11pm on saturday, and just till 5pm on sunday), so there's plenty of time to drop by and see us!
this weekend's map! find us at the red table in the 18+ marketplace!
we have lots of new stuff that debuted at bold matsuri, and even a brand-new problematic label patch!
it came just in time!
hope to see you there!! ＼(≧▽≦)／
BOLD AND AFO PREVIEW
6-20-2024hello again gang!! we've been so busy prepping for our back-to-back june cons bold matsuri and anime festival orlando that we haven't even had a chance to post a pic of our pridefest table!
happy pride!!
we barely made any profit at this event, but it was fun to celebrate pride and educate the public on the importance of yaoi! <(￣︶￣)୨ we debuted one of our new designs there -- the "FBI" badge -- which will debut as a 4" sticker as well at our next cons, along with our newest bumper sticker!
new stickies!!!
some of the other products debuting at these next two cons have been in the works for a while -- here are some more previews!
chilchuck, new lemon/lime and dead dove charms, and the long-awaited CUM JAR PHOTOCARD STAND!
also debuting at bold matsuri is rotten girl gang's first ever FUJOSHI STAMP RALLY! it'll be a simple stamp rally designed to showcase fellow fujos in the artist alley! all you have to do is make a purchase from each one to complete your fujoshi certification and earn a special badge ribbon that will only be available through the rally! we're planning to run it at future conventions as well, so if you miss out this time, there will be another chance to earn one soon! 🌟
come find us at bold mat table #A31 this weekend to participate!!!
hope to see you there! (>ω^)ﾉ☆
ANIMAZEMENT RECAP
5-28-2024animazement has come and gone, and what an awesome con it was!
our revamped table!
the crowd was wonderful, and it felt like our table was more poppin' than ever! we tried out a self-serve sticker display for the first time and it made it way faster for us to put a smile on each fujo's face. ⸜( *ˊᵕˋ* )⸝ huuuuge thanks to everyone who stopped by and supported the gang at our first out-of-state con! it was an honor to serve. (￣︶￣)>
as promised, the new swag that debuted at animazement is now up in our online shop! ampersand tees and rotten girl patches are available now!!
shop our new apparel online!
our next event is kissimmee pride this weekend! we'll have a much simpler display with all our gayest goods up for grabs! come out and celebrate fujo pride!
ANIMAZEMENT PREVIEW
5-20-2024sorry for the lack of updates lately, gang! it's been a busy month between con prep and sudden, real-life emergencies to deal with, but even so we've been hard at work getting fresh merch ready to debut at animazement next weekend! so without further ado, let me introduce you to our newest products!
fangirl in style with our new ampersand tee!
first up is our second t-shirt design! it's a familiar one, but one that was much requested on shirts ever since it debuted on totes! we heard your pleas and now it'll be featured on black tees as well as the gray mugs we recently revealed! these will be available in our online shop after the con, so keep an eye out for our post-con update to order one!
patches are finally here!
next is our long-awaited first embroidered patch design! it's 4 inches wide and features a gushing apple with the kanji for "fujoshi" on it! you'll be seeing this design again soon on another piece of apparel, but starting at animazement and online afterwards, you'll be able to iron it on to anything!
deco your blorbo, rotten girl gang style!
now for a fun little con-exclusive product: rotten girl gang photocard holders! these were hand-made using stickers from our own sticker sheets and washi tapes along with selections from ringo-chan's personal kawaii sticker collection! all the designs pictured here will be available at animazement, and we plan to have a new selection each convention going forward! just like our kandi bracelets, these are one-of-a-kind and can be traded for if you offer ringo-chan a cute photocard holder you made in return!
our last announcement will be very exciting for those who participated in our kiki doll preorder -- all the kikis are shipping out this week!!
one of these boys might be yours!
thank you for helping us fund these little guys, and for bearing with us through the complicated transition to our new shop towards the end of the preorder period! we're so glad the boys are finally on their way home!!
ringo-chan's got to get back to packing for the big trip, so that's all the announcements we have for today! come find the gang at animazement table G24 in raleigh, NC this weekend!! ヽ(*⌒▽⌒*)ﾉ
SALE ENDING
5-6-2024just a quick heads up that our shop reopening sale ends TONIGHT! this is your last chance to use the "ETSYSUX" discount coupon to get 10% off your first order at our new shop! thanks to your amazing support, we've had orders to send out nearly every day and are hyped for our next in-person event at animazement later this month!!
NEW BUMPER STICKERS
5-1-2024a brand new type of product just dropped!!! we now have rotten girl gang BUMPER STICKERS in the shop!
you can rep the gang with a sticker of our logo, or proclaim yourself the proud parent or partner of your favorite fictional character!
yumejoshis rejoice!
there's just one more product we're waiting on for animazement now, which won't be up in the shop till after the con! come out to north carolina and witness its debut in person at the end of this month! we also just got accepted to kissimmee pride here in florida, which will be our first appearance at a pridefest!! as an all-ages event, we'll have to censor our more risqué items, but we're excited for the opportunity to represent the queer fujoshi of the web IRL!

SHIPPING COSTS FIXED
4-15-2024last night it came to our attention that our new shop was only offering priority mail due to an error in the shipping setup! we got it fixed and you can now select USPS "ground advantage" shipping in the US for about $5-$6!!! everyone who ordered with priority mail will be contacted and refunded for the overcharge. so sorry to anyone who had to abandon their cart due to the high shipping costs before, hopefully you can come back and complete your orders now! check out our new shop at shop.rottengirlgang.com!!!

we've also added a new circle sticker to commemorate the shop's reopening~ ('▽^)
watch out, anime twinks!!
thank you all so much for your patience and support in the wake of our suspension from etsy! (╥n╥) we started this endeavor knowing it would eventually meet opposition, but we'll never let corporate censorship keep us down! the gang is here to stay, no matter what the haters say!! we hope you'll grab some goodies from the new shop and spread the word to help us test it out and make up for lost income during the time we spent rebuilding it bigger and better than ever! ୧(` ω ´)୨
SHOP MOVING 1 PREORDER FORM
4-3-2024KIKI PLUSH PREORDERS ARE BACK UP! despite etsy suspending our shop, the kiki doll preorder will continue as planned through a google form!! if you already ordered through etsy, you will NOT have to fill out this form or order again, as we still have access to all past orders and will be fulfilling them as promised. but any additional orders will have to be made through our new google form and paid with paypal, so please help us spread the form link to anyone else who might be interested in ordering before the preorder ends!
next order of business will be getting our shop set back up on another website!! i'm currently researching all our options and will have news for you as soon as possible! keep following our blog, instagram, or aethy for updates!
SHOP MOVING
4-2-2024bad news, gang. today our online shop was permanently suspended from etsy with no warning or way to appeal. we still have access to all outstanding orders, including the kiki plush preorders, but we're backing everything up just in case. the preorders will end this friday as planned, but further orders will have to be accepted through a google form which i will set up later this week. rest assured that you WILL receive everything you've ordered, and a new shop will be opening soon with even more new products!! keep an eye on our website and join our mailing list for updates!
NEW PREORDERS AND PREVIEWS
3-18-2024preorders have just begun for this plush doll of kieran (character from the pokémon SV DLC) designed by guest artist sugu_daisuki@aethy.com! the gang is thrilled to be handling the orders and fulfillment for this adorable plush, starting with a preorder period from march 18th to april 3rd, 2024! after that, the order will be put in and the dolls will be produced and ready to ship out in late may/early june! these dolls are made to order and will NOT be available after the preorder, so be sure to order by april 3rd, 2024! preorder here!
isn't he cute?
in other preorder news, we've received photos from the manufacturer of some of our new keychains! they'll be shipping out to us shortly. the order is coming a little later than expected (that post-new year rush) but preorders will be shipped asap!
digimon boys incoming!
oh, one last notice -- we've had to temporarily suspend our "free shipping over 50" code until after the preorder to ensure that we receive enough money from each order to cover the cost of the kiki dolls. it'll be back after the preorder period has ended! ❤
MORE CON ANNOUNCEMENTS
3-16-2024hey gang!! a lot of summer con acceptances are rolling out and we managed to snag a few tables! june 28th-30th we'll be at anime festival orlando again, this time in their new 18+ showcase area!! i think it'll be a perfect fit for our table! then from august 23rd-25th we have citrus con, an ONLINE convention that you all can visit! we'll be running a special deal in the shop and have a discord shopfront set up where you can hang out and chat! unfortunately we were waitlisted for otakufest, but that doesn't mean we won't still snag a last minute table drop -- stay tuned for further updates! can't wait to see you all soon! ☆ ～('▽^人)
THEME SWITCHER
3-2-2024guess what, gang?! the site's theme switcher is finally here! you can now switch between the "original" and "accessible" layout at the top of the sidebar on every page! (and at the top of the screen if there's no sidebar) the accessible theme should act as a "dark mode" and be easier to read than the eye-gouging original theme. of course, if you enjoy having your eyes bleed (like me), you can leave the site as-is! sorry it took so long to implement this, it took a lot of work to get right but i'm so glad the site is now safe to navigate for all!
i have one other update, i was able to rebook for both wasabicon and megacon, so i'll be at wasabi again later this year (october 11-14) and megacon next (february 6-9, 2025)! i've added both to the sidebar! still waiting to hear back from several other summer cons (including AFO and otakufest) and hopefully will know if we got in soon!!
VARIOUS UPDATES
2-23-2024hey gang!!! got some awesome updates to share with you today! let's start with the most exciting of the bunch: we got into animazement!! come see us in raleigh, north carolina this may, on the weekend of the 24th-26th! this will be the furthest from home the gang has ever traveled for a con, bringing our merch and message to a whole new audience! our first step toward conquering the weeb world. ♛ i can't wait!
new boys incoming!
next on the docket is a preorder announcement for our next set of BOY ⭐️ CATCHER rainbow acrylic keychains! this time it's a whole trio of digimon goggle boys, daisuke, takato, and takuya! they'll be shipping in late march, but you can reserve one now at our online shop!
our final announcement for today is regarding some recent website updates! the color switcher is still in the works, but the merch page has been updated with a gallery that you can click to expand! this should hopefully be easier to load and view! we've also added a new POLL on the sidebar that you should all check out!! the next thing we'll be working on is some more apparel, but in the meantime i wanted to get everyone's opinions on the next acrylic product they'd like to see! please take a moment to vote on our site's sidebar!!
thanks for reading our latest updates! stay tuned for more con and merch announcements as we head into spring! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
SHOP REOPENED!
2-8-2024after taking a few days to get my life back in order after megacon, i've finally reopened the rotten girl gang online shop with LOADS of new merch! if i had it at megacon, i have it here (all except for furry yaoi buttons, which sold out but will be back very soon xD).
along with the previously revealed new stickers, there's a new sticker sheet (and dicks are back in stock)! this one is perfect for decorating photos of your blorbos, babygirls, and precious little meow-meows. find it here!
our very first t-shirt is also available, so now you can rep the gang with this eye-catching BOY CRAZY design on super soft purple tees!
at long last, our sun & moon ship keychains have arrived in the shop!! they look amazing with gold hot stamping that shines silver on the other side! i have plans to expand this lineup and add a "sister" set with sibling pairs as well!
there's also new additions to our bespoke yaoi and ecchi button lineups, as well as a brand new ZINE all about kieran!!
it's packed with sketches and shipping!!!
thank you all SO much for your continued support! the gang is a year old now and i can't wait to see it grow in its second year! couldn't have done it without all you fabulous fujos out there. ;w;
MEGACON TABLE
2-1-2024hey gang!!! we're all set up at our very first megacon! there was a last second change of table numbers, so we're actually at AA866 instead of 868! (just one table over!) come find us thursday-sunday and pick up some brand new goodies!!!!
visit our most epic table yet this weekend!!!
BACK IN TOWN
1-26-2024as the title of this update suggests, THE GANG IS BACK IN TOWN!! we received a ton of orders during our trip and shipped them all out yesterday, then worked late into the night finishing up a big batch of new stickers for megacon! the order is in and should be here in time for the weekend!! check out the mockups below!
we've got four new holo stickers -- a refreshed fujoshi sticker, along with a (much-requested) matching fudanshi!
expanding our lineup of fujoshi are yumejoshi (for our selfshippers) and himejoshi (for our yuri enjoyers)! aren't they sweet?
we've also got a new "lesbian thoughts" sticker to go with our "gay thoughts" and another yaoi meme sticker!!
stay tuned for more megacon updates this week, and if you're going to the con, be sure to stop by table AA868 for all your fujo needs!! up next -- MORE BESPOKE YAOI BUTTONS!
PREORDER SHIPPING 1 VACATION NOTICE
1-7-2024great news, gang! i'll finally have my preorder items in hand this tuesday!! that means all orders of kieran, len, atom, and dead dove keychains will be shipped out this wednesday (the 10th)! and after that... i'll be taking a two-week birthday vacation!! i'll be out of town beginning thursday, january 11th, and not be back at home with my merch until january 25th! i'll be leaving the etsy shop open, but all orders received within that time will NOT be shipped out until i return! wednesday will be my last post office run before i go, so make sure you get your orders in by then if you want something shipped before my trip!
as far as merch updates go, i do have a few! our t-shirt order is in and will be completed in time for megacon, but i'm not sure if i'll have the caps or not -- i'm having trouble finding a quote that's low enough to not have to sell them for $40+ each. i may end up doing them by hand with heat transfer like my tote bags, but i won't be able to experiment with that until i get back from my trip. so they're not guaranteed by megacon, but i'm sure i'll eventually figure something out!
new sparkle prints!
we also just received our newest order of sparkle prints, which contained two new 8.5x5.5 inch pokémon mini prints! i've added them to the mini-print listing on etsy in case anyone wants to grab them before i leave -- i'll take better photos of them when i get back!
that's all i've got for today! get your orders in and i'll see you after my trip! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
NEW YEAR 1 NEW MERCH
12-28-2023hey gang!! we've got a big end-of-year update today revealing lots of new merch debuting for megacon 2024 -- and some available now!
ANIME BOY TEARS mugs are now up in our online shop!! now you can sip on the sweet, salty tears of your favorite whump-able anime boy in a cute teal ceramic mug! this is our last product drop of 2023, as our next order won't be arriving until january! speaking of which, we got a preview of that today...
a supplier photo of our new line of charms!
as those of you who follow us on aethy already know, we've been hard at work on a brand new line of acrylic charms with gold hot stamping! there will be EIGHT varieties available in the first batch, each of them depicting a gay (or lesbian!) ship with a "sun & moon" dynamic! today we got our first look at the final charms -- aren't they stunning? *w*
more upcoming merch!
these next two photos are mockups of more new merch debuting at megacon!! we've just submitted the order for our first shirt design -- a purple "BOY CRAZY" tee depicting our mascot fujo character ringo-chan! and we're currently shopping for quotes on an embroidered "FUJOSHI" cap design! both of these will go up in the online shop after megacon, in early february 2024!
before 2023 ends, i wanted to sincerely thank ALL OF YOU for supporting this brand-new project this year!! it's truly been a labor of love for me, and watching it grow from an idea to a flourishing business over the course of these 12 short months has been incredible. this dream couldn't have come true without you, and i can't wait to see what the next year brings for the gang. i know i'll be working hard every day to make it the best and boldest it can be! ｡ﾟ+.*(+･｀ω･)９
HOLMAT RECAP
12-23-2023time for a quick holiday matsuri recap before i head home for the holidays! please be aware that any outstanding orders/new orders will not be shipped until i get back on the 26th!
so, like i said in our last update, we DID actually get to vend at holiday matsuri after all thanks to the generosity of our amazing friend bubbly sheep creations! we had an extremely successful con with only 2 feet of table space and even sold out of dicker sheets!! we also debuted our newest product...
...the ANIME BOY TEARS mug!
these will be up in the shop after christmas, so look forward to that and all the new products we'll be debuting at megacon! but enough about business, what about pleasure?
a meeting of the minds...
there was only ONE event important enough for me to leave my table during holmat, and that was our friend and site affiliate denpa archivist's YAOI MEETUP! it was a truly heartwarming little get-together of fujoshi, fudanshi, cosplayers, artists, and more! we shared stickers, traded bracelets, looked at doujins, and left having made many new friends! thank you so much to denpa for putting it together!!! i hope many more meetups like this will pop up so fujos all over have a space to be themselves and have fun!!
united under yaoi!
as we head into the holidays, i hope you all have a merry yaoimas and a happy new yuri! i'll leave you with this beautiful photo of yuri and yaoi jesus wearing our pins wednesday night!
truly blessed!!
SURPRISE HOLMAT SPACE
12-21-2023sorry i didn't get to update my blog sooner, but I ACTUALLY DID GET A SPACE AT HOLIDAY MATSURI THIS YEAR!
it's small, but it's something!
i got SUPER lucky that the tables turned out to be 8 feet long despite my friend bubbly sheep creations confirming with them beforehand, and therefore planning for a 6-footer! she gave me her extra 2 feet to set up a mini rotten girl gang table, which has been CRAZY profitable these last two days! there's one more day to see us there, and i have a feeling it's going to be a big one!!! come by table O7 right near the exit of the artist alley and check us out before we sell out of everything!
i'll make a longer post after the con with a recap and more, but now i need to go restock my merch and get to bed! x3
NEW PREORDERS
12-12-2023hey gang, we just submitted a BIG merch order with lots of new stuff, including new boys for the BOY ☆ CATCHER!
the catch of the day!
a new preorder listing is up for kieran, atom, and len rainbow acrylic keychains! you can grab your favorite boy at our etsy!
i have much, MUCH more to reveal before megacon, so keep an eye out for more updates soon! the order will arrive early january, and include a restock of our dead dove yaoi candy keychains for those waiting on them!
speaking of cons, we got into bold matsuri again! it's a long ways off (june 22nd-23rd), but it's great to know we already have a summer con date set! hope to see you there! ^w^
ANOTHER WEEB WEDNESDAY
11-30-2023last night we had another spot at player 1 orlando! big thanks to everyone who stopped by and grabbed some swag!
our simple lil setup!
every weeb wednesday the artists each donate a piece of their merch to be raffled off, and this time i gave them an organic yaoi sticker, which caused quite a fuss amongst the guests. there was a big group of guys chanting for it through the raffle and one of them finally won it and brought all their friends over to buy stuff from the gang (including dick stickers). i hope to get another gig there soon!!
