It's raw you donkey

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.
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.

It's not entirely "whiny BS" and it's not necessarily worth ignoring. Sometimes you should take what is said as a grain of salt, but there is often a bigger problem there. I personally don't have a problem with Roy and I think her Batman is splendid, but I don't disagree with some other things that are being said there. HOW they are being said? Not usually. But the meaning behind the words hurtful or otherwise, I do often agree with.

It may be a place for "wank" but it is also a place where people go when they are genuinely annoyed and frustrated and sometimes repeated name drops don't deserve it, other times they do. As I have said before, just because someone is friendly and nice out of character and just all right in character doesn't mean they shouldn't be complained about for whatever reason.

Often complaints are legitimate, even without details accompanying them and I don't mean false claims or DIAF or whatever but actual "I don't have anything to say other than they're boring" or in some cases that their behavior, general attitudes, and subtle godmodeing are not okay.

trying to excuse or justify wank = just more whiny bs

considering that the behavior, attitudes, and subtle godmodeing they bring up have no basis in reality, their complaints are not legitimate. the general attitude of refusal to try giving crit about their supposed problems just makes it more clear that they're only spewing bs.

Just because this is not a wank community does not mean it absolves it from any sort of negativity.

Because someone is not linking their threads and dissecting it as to why it's bland or why it is unacceptable does not mean it does not exist. While in most cases I would say the burden of proof is on the one giving crit (or complaining), I disagree in this instance. If I were to link my threads with people who I find boring and uninspired, it would out who I am; if I used a friend's threads, it could be them. I'm not going to start witch hunts.

That being said, Froda and Eric are universally considered difficult to deal with. Not just in Tu Shanshu, but also in Ataraxion and Cape & Cowl. It is up to them to change, not me to crit them. They have been critted multiple times about the exact same things only for them to fall on deaf ears. These two are not critted because they will not change and you can't go to a moderator with "they didn't exactly say this but they implied it" or "they put no effort into their tags" (though this goes not only for Eric, but most people in this game who are repeatedly namedropped).

There is nothing hostile about this comment so it shouldn't be met with hostility. Saying I dislike someone/s and how they play and saying that they are thoughtless without giving specific instances does not make it untrue.

Additionally, there is a huge difference between wank and a discussion. Even if it isn't worded politely, that doesn't make it wank. Even if it is negative, that does not make it wank. Wank is stirring shit for the sake of stirring shit or "spewing bs" as you put it. Saying Kiki and Hina and That Pepper are difficult to tag is not wank. Saying Eric and Froda don't take well to crit is not wank.

universally considered

Nope.

It is up to them to change, not me to crit them.

No, you're incredibly wrong there. It's on you before it's on anyone else. Trying to pass the buck off is what makes it look like you're just wanking.
