Everything is under control

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.


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.


Concerns?


Navigate:

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

Dear anon:

Please stop putting words in my mouth. I've never once said that my choice of spelling is "better" or "exotic" or that Middie is "wrong". I don't even understand why you're choosing to make this an issue. Midii and Middie are simply alternate spellings of the same character from the same series, and therefore are both right.

In fact, there's only one reason that I spell it the way I do, and that's simply because it's the spelling I'm used to; I first read Episode Zero long before it was officially translated. This is where I picked up on the M-i-d-i-i spelling. The entire fandom used it until the English version came out with the Middie spelling. I'm not the first person to spell it this way, and I won't be the last.

Heck, I've seen people use a wide variety of alternative spellings for her name. In tags to me. And I've never said a word. Because it really doesn't matter.

To be honest, I find it a little ironic that your criticism is essentially doing exactly what you're accusing me of.

you're really fucking annoying. please drop.

(Anonymous) 2012-03-01 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you drop. Assuming you're even in game.

lmao hi middie player

Nope, it was me! Seriously, your behavior is absolutely atrocious to the point I hope you're the grudger that CnC has following it around sometimes. Someone was defending themselves against a silly, arbitrary thing as the spelling of a name and your attack was unnecessary and silly.

(Anonymous) 2012-03-01 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, seriously? I'm not a fan of the character, but this is a really stupid thing to get wound up about.

Get over it, anon.

Do you really have to? Man, looking over our anon thread, sometimes I'm ashamed to play here. There's a difference between bitching to vent on, let's face it, a comm basically made for that, and telling someone straight to their face to drop a game. From the guise of anon, of course.

Midii player, don't drop, you're awesome.

official translations > fan translations and fandom for names no matter what you're ~used to, hth

Not always. No one that plays from One Piece would dare call Zoro "Zolo", no matter what official translations say.

(Anonymous) 2012-03-01 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
it's still the official translation and they're still whiny buttbabies, hth

(Anonymous) 2012-03-01 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL

You are a gem. A precious precious gem. I hope you track down every Zoro roleplayer and give them a what for then.
