Um

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.

tbh

and if we had to change or ditch some of our completely asinine little social etiquette rules to make it work, I'd probably be a happier camper too

the problem is that the asinine little social etiquette rules are completely ingrained here

you cant just get 500+ people to stop doing something they've done for years, over night

I don't think the majority of dwrpers are actually as fucking stupid as we pretend when we start bitching on wg.

What does that have to do with what I said? It's not a matter of being 'fucking stupid,' it's human nature. Even if you can objectively tell something is just more of an asinine ritual than an important thing to remember, it's still hard to break yourself out of the habit and mindset.

DWRP has its own culture, just like any other random niche in the internet, and cultures rarely just wake up and go 'oh, yeah, this is kind of dumb, we should stop doing it.' in one go.

As a tumblr RPer I can say that there are actually some decent writers and people there. You just need to know where to look, and have a way to filter out the bad ones -- such as, for example, applications?
