I thought it was a chocolate chip

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.

Because ship hungry people are annoying? And there's a huge sense of entitlement to the comment.

No one is obligated to ship their characters with them.

i never saw any entitlement at all. i just saw an anon venting a little bit about a frustration. it happens. no need to be jerks about it.

Hi OP

da

I'm a little surprised by the reactions it got too.

They even said it's not the end of the world but still a little frustrating. Somehow this turned into treating them like they were obsessed with shipping and unable to function in RP without forcing a ship on other people. It feels like kneejerk reactions to someone venting.

tone is magic and tbh the tone reeking from op's comment wasn't exactly stellar

"weh weh i guess i'm never going to get a magical ship with anybody for some reason i just can't fathom, but it's probably no fault of mine!! this must just be normal for us poor ship-hunting souls!!! i guess i'll just have to grin and bear it!!!! lol lql ppl"

'obnoxiously defeatist' anon above has it about right. if you're going to vent in public at least try to have some dignity about it, or do it on a private journal instead of an open comm totally known for its sunshine and daisy attitude

I wish I could be in an RP with this entitled fuck so I could really give them something to cry about.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-10 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
The entitlement and self-absorption is not a good look.

It's not hard to figure out why nobody wants to deal with them.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
eh, i don't really see the same problem you are, but i guess i'm not the best at that type of thing anyway. not that i would have worded it the same way since i probably wouldn't have [not even sure what 'lql' is or why people are throwing fits over it, i thought it was just a typo or something] but i re-read the op over and over to see if there was a detail i was missing or something that made them come across as entitled. i didn't.

You sound autistic.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
that's nice.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
i thought lql was laugh quite loudly

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
I thought it was an lol fuck up.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
if you can't see the problem with the op you're an idiot

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
or i just sympathize a little bit.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
oh, so you're entitled too

suddenly this explains everything

nvm go about your business now good anon

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
if it helps you sleep better at night to think only a bratty entitled little shit could ever sympathize with someone who very well could have accidentally come across that way, then i won't try to stop you from thinking that.

i'd much prefer to offer my assistance and if they want it, roleplay with the person so they'd feel less awful, than criticize them for feeling the way they do just because of some words they decided to use in attempting to get their point across. it's more productive and makes me feel like less of a heartless asshole.

intent isn't magical

accident or not the intent doesn't change the outcome

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
i understand that. i also understand they may not have meant to come across that way, and while you're entitled to be disgusted by it, i'm entitled to sympathize.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Did you really use "intent isn't magical" over shipping drama? lmao

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
my little ship: intent is magic

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
also you can't handle the truth

(Anonymous) 2014-05-11 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
based on the threads here i think the big problem is people are projecting like whoa all over this person
