rpanons | [D] Free space

Rundown:

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.

So this is about people I barely know besides seeing their names on a meme once or twice, that I don't talk to, and thus are not involved in the part of the fandom I've been playing in for the last four years. The most I've ever seen of two of them is being on the plurk of someone I know who isn't even a part of this fandom. Why is the entire fandom getting blamed because of them? And if they are a big enough problem, what's the best way to go about changing that so the rest of us who have been enjoying ourselves can do that without their shadow over us?

This isn't a fandom-wide problem. People who like this fandom are attacked or made to feel guilty repeatedly because they aren't having bad experiences with this group or don't deal with this group enough to know them at all. I myself have probably never played with them before unless it was on a meme and I didn't know it. I can't say I know everyone in the fandom (but I've met a good share of people from it over the last four years), so it's more than possible.

If this is a problem then we need to have a way to deal with it and telling the fandom as a whole that its terrible and no one is allowed to have fun ever because this clique exists and behaves poorly is just as unhelpful as the people who act like everyone in the fandom is perfect and can do no wrong. It's like saying no one is allowed to like dogs because you were bit by one once.
