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.

this is all really interesting information that's good to know in general, but

if they're just going to play some anime character, it's hardly going to be crucial for their portrayal...

on the contrary, ayrt's information is really helpful. note i didn't say i was playing an anime character ;)

Honestly, I am of the opinion that understanding your character's cultural context helps anyone, regardless of what type of canon the character comes from! If you don't write what you know, it helps to put the effort in to know what you write.

It might not be crucial - it's easy to get into a game and play a character without doing any real-world research - but it can make the difference between an OK portrayal and a good one.

I'm glad you found it helpful, OP!
