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.

I'd like to know which games these are too. I hear about people getting shamed for playing f/f or m/m but I have never seen this. I've never been in a game where bigoted shit of all kinds wasn't called out and shamed harshly.

why don't you do some research instead of asking us to do it for you

So, I've been playing the same character for years. I love the character and I love the canon, but I want to actually play some different personalities. Problem is, it feels like I can't play anyone else after playing this one for so long. I used to be able to play many different kinds of characters, but now this personality is the only one I can grasp well.

I've been searching for a different canon or character to catch my eye, but I'm not someone that can get into new canons and pick up characters easily. Recently, every new character I've tried to play has been flat no matter how much I review their canon. They just don't click with me.

Any words of advice? As of right now, quitting cold turkey for a while sounds like my best bet.

Aww, that's too bad! Maybe PM and see if they'd like to musebox or meme thread? I know I usually don't mind threading out-of-game characters if I feel like I still have enough voice for them.

the only way you wouldn't see it is if you're part of the problem tbh

Honestly, I've seen a lot of m/m shaming. Anytime someone mentions a m/m ship on anoncomm you get 'yaoi buttsex' comments as if just the fact that it's m/m means that it can't possibly be IC or well played. Also, you can't forget boarding. The mod was spammed with graphic gory images. That goes a bit beyond shaming and into the bullying territory.

Though most RPers seem to set f/f rp as the holy grail, any hint at all that it's being played by a guy and the entire brigade is screaming neckbeard. Apparently it's only okay if it's girls playing f/f. :/

what is your favorite character type that you can never rp just right

what is the character type that comes to you most easily

So basically you don't want songs about good relationships or about reluctantly loving someone? I think that's what you're saying, I'm not totally sure.

Otherwise I'd say my song of the week is "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye. It's a bit old but whatever, it's a really catchy song.

Go Set Go's "I Hate Everyone" is about being madly in hate with everyone and loving it.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-14 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, because people's completely legitimate skeeved-out reactions that they've been playing smut with a minor is 100% about the legality.

Even if the cops aren't going to kick down my door for it I don't want to play smut with minors. It squicks me the fuck out.

But tee hee, tricking those dumb grown-ups into playing out sex with a minor is funny because they're just being silly, I'm so mature!

That is indeed a lovely song.

When Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl came out in theatres, I saw it 7 times. Each time with different friends, and I loved every moment of it.
