The kid just rages for a while

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.

Re: Shadow the Hedgehog | Sonic game canon

it sounds like you already have the right idea. sonic is his RIVAL and he's sworn to kill him on several occasions, he is not harboring some intense homolust for him and generally only works with him out of necessity if that. if people want to ship it then fine, whatever, but keep it out of games.

other than that, as... not so great as shadow's game was, it's kind of a must play (or at least a must watch if you'd rather go the lp route) regarding his character. there's a lot of stuff in there that was really only alluded to previously, especially about maria, the doctor, and his creation. and obviously sonic adventure 2: battle is a good starting point.

shadow is definitely an angsty character, no doubt, but don't go over absolutely overboard with it. not because it's necessarily ooc but because it's going to put off other people from playing with you. small doses, and when he does angst, it should be over the important stuff, not every little thing that goes wrong.

use maria as an anchoring point so he's not all darkness darkness darkness WHO AM IIIII all the time. it'll help bring some humanity (so to speak) to the character. he is very much a loner so it may be difficult to get him involved or interested, so be prepared to work harder for cr.

other than that, just mull about some memes once you've done some review and throw him into whatever looks good. maybe you, young grasshopper, can be the shadow that dw deserves.

actually, shadow being shipped with sonic can work out in a game if developed over a good period of time and not just random burning homolust. i've seen it done very well before in a way that worked with shadow's personality and train of thought.

sounds like you've got a bad idea of sonadow shippers and furries (who, fyi, aren't totally sexual, lusty beings) in general tbh. it can be played out fine in a game. saying it's an absolute no is kind of extreme.

no, no, aaaaaand no. show me an instance of where this was "done very well" and i'll eat crow, otherwise, i stand by what i said. not every character needs to be in a fucking romantic ship with their rival, it makes no sense in this instance at all and if i were a castmate i'd definitely be side-eyeing the shit out of that no matter how much "development" it got.

your furries comment is a different argument entirely but yes i am going on record as saying it's primarily a fetish and one i would prefer not to see smeared all over this fandom more than it already has been. sorry.

so basically, all you're saying here is this:

BAWWWWWWW I DON'T PERSONALLY LIKE IT SO IF ANYONE PLAYS THIS OUT THEY'RE WRONG AND MY OPINION IS RIGHT

as someone who declares him/herself a furry and doesn't get into the sexual aspect at all, by the way? go fuck yourself. we aren't all bad, sugartits.

keep fucking that blue hedgehog, honey, maybe someday it'll be ic

i sincerely wish you godspeed in your continued efforts to make this fandom as shitty as possible

Sonadow and furries get a lot of really bad stigma, so I can get why the harsh reaction, but at the same time, it really doesn't warrant generalization. I know a lot of furries who are actually very nice and handle their fetish/culture/whatever you call it well.

Saying that it's bad, even if played well and with development, is still uncalled for, no matter which way you look at it. It's still dogging people for playing what they like. Isn't that what RP is here for? Fun? Playing out what you like?

I get that you and the OP don't like it, and that's completely fine. Just don't pee in the Cheerios of those who do like it. That's not okay in any fandom, furry or not.

fooooor the record i wanted to state that this is the op and ive only made two other comments in this thread i dont like participating in ship-bashing

i just dont want to play a sexual shadow in general

(Anonymous) 2013-04-08 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, OP, I'm sorry. I actually didn't mean to imply you were ship-bashing, too, but I worded it very poorly, so I see why you got that inflection. You're cool, keep on keepin' on.
