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.

Humans are very visual creatures and we rely a lot on more than just tone of voice to express ourselves--not being able to see if the person on the other end of the line is smiling, sneering, looking exciting or looking bored with what I have to say leaves me feeling very vulnerable. I get nervous. I stutter. I get told I speak too loudly. That I don't speak loud enough. I speak too fast. I speak too slow. I mess up pronunciations. I suddenly apparently have an accent. That I sound like the opposite gender. I sound like I'm sick. That person with the same name and voice I thought was someone I knew ended up NOT being that person I knew. I'm constantly self conscious about what I'm saying and how I'm saying it because people think the wildest things when they can't see you.
Myself included.
I'd rather just avoid it when possible.
Face to face I can use gestures, eye contact, and rely on facial cues to adjust the conversation appropriately. Text, yes, tone is definitely lost but I can take all the time I need to articulate sentences exactly as I mean them, clearly and thoughtfully without missing a point or having my brain skip around because it goes faster than words coming out of my mouth.
