Put the bunny back in the box

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.


Concerns?

I do this constantly when I mean to mute plurks.

Newsflash: not everything you say is interesting.

How do you know they meant to mute it? I accidentally like shit all the time while I'm just trying to open the damn plurk.

i always think its funny how no one cares about characters murdering each other, even torture is largely okay, and let's not forget the sex-or-die games.

but god forbid there is a rape plot.

I RPed with a range of 14 to 20+ year olds while I was a minor and nobody gave a flying fuck. These days it's just keep your mouth shut and people still don't give a flying fuck.

I usually lose interest in the character and if I do end up picking them up again it's usually a long time down the road.

Sometimes it's because I ended up falling too far behind in the game, though. In that case a canon review usually does the trick and I app them somewhere else or reapp after a break.

And before I get wailed on for disappointing everyone ever I do my best to avoid castmates for precisely this reason. Not that I'll drive them off but I normally don't app into casts.

Completely random but until I saw her on TV a couple of weeks back I was totally convinced Adele was black.

That was a shock.

I can typically play a character 1-6 months fine, but after about a half year, it just starts dragging and games become way too much. If it's a character I still enjoy I can musebox with them, but actual games? Nein.

Then I do my best to stick around but it just doesn't go past a couple of months most of the time. I'd rather drop than play half-heartedly or character squat.

Same here but once I found out she was a white girl her dramatics suddenly made sense.

A week. Intro'd, got a first post up, watched other posts, realized the entire game's CR is related to or played out by one cast, with the cross-canon CR being mainly done by friends of the muns of said cast.

nah, I get the sentiment. I'm just a little sad because I found someone playing a rare canon and they dropped a week later and the account has been inactive for about a month.

and I got so excited!

you obviously weren't around for the anon shitstorms about the first sex-or-die games

nobody speaks up about it as much only because the drama back then didn't make the games closing down, and also if you haven't noticed most newer sex games now make the sex-or-die component optional

also the reason so many people get antsy about rape plots getting shoved in people's faces in regular games is probably because there are a significant number of rape survivors in RP

I don't think it should be too hard to figure out why they'd get upset over insensitive assholes using rape or the threat of rape as a vehicle to get their precious snowflake the entire game's attention

at least sex games are separate spaces that are upfront about being friendly to rape kink so people who are uncomfortable about that can safely avoid those games

it's not something people expect to have to deal with in regular games so yes they will get upset when it's presented in a way that the entire game is forced to respond to, regardless of whether the post itself is properly labeled

i'm confused when anons talk about how conservative dwrp is. are you on the same site as i am? i can't think of a single game where even slightly homophobic comments would be tolerated, but rpanons talks about their games cheering about the north carolina decision. where on dw is this acceptable?

Haven't seen Avengers yet, but hopefully soon!

Saw Tangled 3 times when it was in theaters.
