Rundown:

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.

Yeah, exactly. I see absolutely no issue with someone being disappointed, and going SHIT I AM SO BUMMED OUT or even TAGS WILL HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE I KIND OF LOST MY DRIVE THERE on your own plurk is absolutely within anyone's right. For a moment when I saw my own monster assignment, I was actually pretty damn disappointed myself because yes, it ended up being one of my bottom choices. I managed to rally pretty quickly and find things I actually loved about the monster I got, but I can understand and appreciate that it might not be the same for someone else.

So no, I wouldn't dream of thinking someone is a tittybaby just for being upset, even if randomness is a premise of the game. It's still super understandable. No one expects to get something they don't want, and being stuck with it for the rest of the game with dropping as your only alternative sucks.

But at the same time, I will have very little sympathy for anyone who drags their misery all over other people who are happy, who try to turn every attempt at helping them into just another pity party, and who get pissy and defensive when people attempt to be constructive instead of simply going "oh no, poor you". I won't feel sorry for anyone who thinks being passive-aggressive and rude is a good way of dealing with upset, or who will insist that they're a victim of bullying when other people get understandably fed up.

Just my two cents, but. yeah, tl;dr people ABSOLUTELY have the right to be upset and a bit butt-blistered if they got something that really doesn't jive with them, but neither of these things justifies shitty behavior toward other players.
