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?

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

Yes. They have a copy of their business plan up somewhere if you care that much.

That's what the invite codes are for; it lets them control the size of the userbase so that it can't grow beyond their ability to pay for the capacity to handle it.

The reason invite codes have been off for a while is that the influx of RPers brought so many paid accounts with it that they can afford to turn off those limitations for now.

I always wonder about those 'please don't sue' disclaimers people put up.

Do they really think they could be sued for roleplay?

When people reply to me on a meme only to never respond to my response tag after that...

Feels bad, man.

They probably could be, but

1. Very few creators are going to track down someone's shitty RP blog and start a legal dispute over them with it. Most people, especially those involved with creating commercial media, have better things to do with their time than start a witch hunt over something so completely pointless as one person pretending to be a fictional character on the Internet.

2. Even if a creator of a series DID track them down and start something, they'd be more likely to threaten them into stopping than to go through the whole effort of taking them to court and fighting a legal battle that will cost them time and money.

My favorite chick flick is Kate and Leopold. It's corny, dumb and ridiculous, as well as really unfeminist, but I still adore it.

I guess Hugh Jackman as a Duke is really swoon worthy.

Personally, I think it's really fun to think about.

doesn't anne rice and some other guy threaten people with legal action if they write fanfiction of their shit? roleplaying is still a type of fanfiction, so i can imagine they could do it even then.

but like you said, most people aren't going to bother. it doesn't seem like a lot of authors or producers or whatever really care. they know fanfiction and fanart are good for the fandom and will keep people interested.

Every day if I can be assed to. I wash my hair every second day.

Super rarely. I don't see why I should have to shave, my boyfriend doesn't care. (inb4 HE REALLY DOES YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IT) trust me, he doesn't care. My body hair tends to come back completely by the end of the second day after I've shaved, so NO POINT REALLY

Post your last tag and pretend the tone was sarcastic.

How funny is it?

(Anonymous) 2012-05-16 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
a friend of mine was boggling over this in plurk, and i admit, it confused me as well.

so yeah, you're not alone.

You better clean them when I'm done.

Once a day.

Whenever I wear a dress so about once weekly.


Once a day / I don't care, respectively.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-16 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
once a day, except for weekends because i don't leave the house or see anyone during them so there's not much of a point.
uh....... once every half a year on average....

there's no objective answer to that? most people would tell you to shower once a day, but it depends on where you live, i think. in colder countries i've heard they don't shower that often, and that probably works okay for them because they don't sweat as much as people in like. the bahamas. as for shaving your legs, that depends on how much you... give a fuck? some people think leg hair is ~super gross~ but frankly i don't give a shit, and i almost always wear long pants so it's pointless for me anyway.

tldr as long as you're not rolling around in your own filth, do what feels right for you.

i'm the person who posted the meme and i'm super confused.

are we being trolled? transformer anons, is mating a thing in your canon? a big kink in the fandom?

(Anonymous) 2012-05-16 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
i genuinely want to rp from arthur

like, actually do it appropriately

Roleplaying With People got deleted. :(

Kind of a shame because there was some good advice, even if there was some bad advice along with it (DO NOT try to solve conflicts on your own before going to the mods. Trust me, you'll be saving us a lot of headaches later on by just coming to us first). Not as good as Deadpool's Internet Drama and You, but a fair RP take on it.
