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.

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.

Temporary Change
: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 2,000 - 2,500 comments. "One of our biggest load problems is entries that have a high number of comments -- loading those entries causes a big hit -- and we've been seeing an increase in the number of entries with lots of comments lately. If even a few high-traffic journals or communities started opening new posts when comments reached 2000 or 2500 instead of letting the post run until it hit the maximum number of comments, it would definitely help." - DW_News

I recall she plurked about how she plays him as gay when she was in Soul Campaign. She was completely serious.

Ever since then I've been pretty unsure about her Dave characterization.

I'm not trying to pick sides here, but I personally can see Dave being gay in canon. Or at least bisexual. I think as long as they don't play for ships there shouldn't be an issue with it?

also nayrt!

Yeah, I can see the bisexual aspect, too, but I think it falls back to the insecurity issue: Would Dave REALLY be comfortable in his sexuality? And anyway, how many 13 year olds are comfortable with their sexuality? Certainly there are some, but I don't know many.

Sexuality is the least of the issue that app had, though, imo

Canon does not support it. I can see where you're coming from but if canon doesn't support it then you need to develop it yourself. You can't just say "By the way I play him gay" and then do so when canon doesn't support you. If you want him to be gay build on the idea in your game.

I think they mean since canon doesn't say he's gay and he actually seems to deny it, you'd have to develop him admitting it to himself/others/realizing it/whatever.
