Happy Holidays

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.

I would hope that I'm not one of them since I'm pretty lowkey for a DGM player, but god I would love to see a Krory around. He is an awesome character who really deserves more love. Please don't let the overblown views of anons stop you from playing a character you enjoy.

I mostly play obscure-ish LA characters, but I love cross-medium/canon interaction!

I should also mention that they're all female. But I have no problem with them topping in this scenario.

yeah, it's silly. it also contributes to the misconception of what a "trigger" is. most people aren't "triggered" by seeing the word "rape"; reading graphic descriptions of the act is what does it.

also if there are people who are upset by singular words...wouldn't it be prudent to use a browser plugin that you can program to censor specific upsetting words instead of insisting everyone else censor what they write?

I've the feeling I'm one of those people you told and, yeah, sometimes I lay awake at night thinking about that shit. "Horrifying" isn't a strong enough word to describe it.

i can give you a buttload of advice (#1 don't hold her up as a saint) but i need to know whether you're okay with spoilers first, because the last few books have really explored some of the ugly and nitty gritty parts of her arc.

You're assuming that people actually want to take matters into their own hands. If they do that they can't draw attention to themselves and get buttpats.

people are always going to be a little wary of ic/ooc similarities, because some people do blur that line and they ruin it for everyone else.

but personally? as scary as it is, i don't think you have to hide from it. if you're good about stuff ooc and you write a compelling character, people will still flock your way. and that way, those that might be uncomfortable learning about it later can keep out of your way. honestly? you don't want to play with people who will be upset finding that out later along down the line.

i deal with ocd, depression, and ptsd that usually manifests itself as derealization type stuff. a lot of my characters have issues with that as well, because we're often drawn to writing those with similar experiences, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that.

most of the time, i just avoid making my characters' illnesses explicit. it's a good way to go stealth and avoid those issues without having to lie about or hide your own experiences, and i'm more comfortable with canon characters that way anyway, because canon characters rarely have to experiences laid out in specific terms.

maybe write them living with their disorder, but only have them tell people that you know won't be weird about it? very often, dsm-specific categories blur and overlap anyway, and few people i know walk around with stickers on their forehead saying "ill". unless they mean "ill" as in "totally radical broseph", which is another valid approach.

good luck, it's a tough line to walk.
