rpanons | You're all idiots except for me

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.

imho it depends on a) whether you think the situation CAN improve by speaking up and b) whether you actually care to risk the WEEEH IS MEEEE for the small chance of them finally shutting the hell up

When I feel like I give enough of a shit about it, I call out PA or outright aggressive behavior as politely as I can, send a private PM and say "Hey, when you did x and y I really perceived it as you having a problem with me specifically, is there something wrong", stuff like that. I try to avoid PA behavior or guilt tripping (sometimes it COULD be you reading too much into it) and simply let them know it's something I've noticed.

Usually people will deny they meant it like that and keysmash or whatever, but at least they will know you noticed the behavior and that you are not okay with it. I find that polite upfront communication is the best approach for me.

But again it depends on how much you actually give a shit about it.

it depends on the person and how close you are to them but this anon speaks truth.

in the past I've been gently tapped like this and it made me check myself, because I was doing things that were unintentionally PA or coming across as such. I didn't mean it but I still didn't want people to get that impression, so I learned and changed. it is possible.
