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.

yo, i'll put my input in as a player who's reserved a character.

pros of allowing trans characters
-it'll get people off your back
-political correctness

cons of allowing trans characters
-during the app process, people may insist a character is a transman when canon doesn't state that he or she is (ex. saying mulan is trans)
-as i mentioned in my other reply in this thread, fictional drama could occur over trans characters' identities. players may not want to see that brought into an rp since rping is meant to be an escape from real life.
-wank over a trans character "not having the right equipment" for gay sex
-wank over "where is the line drawn?"
-players fetishizing or trivializing a tran character's identity

me? i'm okay with having ftm characters in the game, but thinking of the possible wank worries me. my suggestion is to omit the section about trans characters from the f.a.q. since that seems to be offending the most people. if someone apps a trans character, you can cross that bridge when you get there.
