Unfunny wanky stereotypes

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.

don't worry, you're very welcome! the fandom is kinda dying so i'm happy to see more people around (let's discuss things yes yes!)

sorry to say this, pitch is the main problem in the this whole issue. bunny and tooth you can handwave and say they changed over time (even if i still think things are too different). BUT since YOU are playing him, you are lucky. a pitch won't come and drop the whole I'M ACTUALLY A GOOD GUY thing on you. and as for the others, it's rare to get castmates that aren't pitch or jack. if you get jack, he won't know a thing. only think about it if you get any of the others, and even then you can make a deal of simply not having to talk icly about it.

so yeah, i think you're safe. i also like him better that way so all my love to you.

I don't even think I'd mind if a castmate dropped the bomb on him tbh, as long as the player was okay with my Pitch being strictly movie-only. Basically my main worry is irritating people by playing the "wrong" backstory or timeline, because I don't really know what the norms of the fandom are. Like I said in my first comment, I can definitely adapt and play with the book backstory added in if it's what's expected in DWRP, but I'll admit that I'm glad that that doesn't seem to be the case!

oh, anon, people being irritated by the way you play a character happens everywhere, not only in the rotg fandom. if you don't mind the bomb being dropped on you, then relax and play, and ignore the idiots.

Very true! Thanks for the talk, anon. Who knows; maybe we'll end up playing together sometime.

driveby jack player giving you a pat on the shoulder and agreeing with this excellent anon you've been speaking with here on all points. honestly i've not met any other fellow rotg players that would have much grief about the storyline situation one way or the other, the majority are extremely chill and great about compromising these sorts of issues--and if you do run into any that flatly object, you probably don't need to be threading with them anyway

i hope you have fun playing around in the meantime, though! it brightens my day a bit to see somebody new popping in c:

aww thanks for calling me excellent, fellow jack-mun. i think "compromising" is definitely the words i should've used. everywhere is aware of this bit a problem of this issues so communication with castmates keeps everyone happy (tbf this should be advice to any cast TALK TO PEOPLE DAMMIT). and yeah, if someone whines, you don't want them to play with you anyway.
