Well

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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

has anyone ever played out an incest ship in a game? where? if you did, how did it go?

years back another player and i sort of heavily played with the idea- lots of UST but nothing confirmed. it was fun, but the RP culture was waaaaay different back then, and i don't think we'd be able to get away with it now.

I think it depends on the canon and the age of the characters tbh.

If it was underage stuff (like, under 14/15) then I'd be kind of horrified. But I'd be horrified if it wasn't incest either (unless it was an age-appropriate romance).

Like, I'd be kind of disgusted by Dipper/Mabel, but I'd be fine with Fred/George Weasley. So yeah, depends on the canon, depends on the relationship.

I had some angelcest going on in the ooc funtimes meme area of a game a few years back that no one seemed to balk at.

many times, always fun. brother/sister stuff in museboxes and memes. my favorite au is accidental incest via estrangement and prostitution :Dc

played Peter/Nathan from Heroes back in the day

we kept the ship to private logs but it was game canon

(Anonymous) 2015-09-29 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
i mean, i think people don't mind say, cersei/jaime or charles/camilla macaulay

as long as it's canon people won't mind, but if it isn't, they probably will

(Anonymous) 2015-09-29 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
pretty much, which is kind of dumb when they'll gloss over one instance of incest in a canon (cersei/jaime), but they'll shit bricks over sansa/robb or jon. even weirder when they push for other incest ships that aren't canon (arya/jon, dany/viserys, **SPOILER** dany/jon)

(Anonymous) 2015-09-29 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
dany/jon is just speculation

(Anonymous) 2015-09-29 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
pretty apt speculation, if you ask me. and doesn't negate the other instances.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-29 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
well it's kind of rude to castmates to pull a non canon incest ship

if i app in arya and she finds out sansa and robb are boning, that is going to really affect the way i play her

(Anonymous) 2015-09-29 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
tbh i feel like this could apply to too many decisions in rp to be entirely reasonable

like, if one of my canonmates ends up killing somebody or gets brutally murdered or hooks up with someone who's terrible for them or is brainwashed or whatever, it'd affect the way i play too. that said it's certainly polite to be upfront with castmates and open to negative ic responses / keep it easy for any fellow players who have an issue with it to avoid the topic

basically the same way you'd treat a rape plot, i'd say. you have to be sensitive about it.

are you seriously comparing rape victims to consensual incest

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2015-09-29 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
are you seriously implying consensual incest is possible? 99 percent of the time, it isn't.

ayrt

(Anonymous) 2015-09-29 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
fantasies of consensual incest can be upsetting to people who have experience with irl incest, because irl incest is almost always sexual abuse.

in the same way, fantasies involving rape can be upsetting to people who have been raped.

so yes, in both cases, it's important to be sensitive with the plot and make lots of space for people who don't want that kind of theme in their rp to stay clear, in order to avoid further harming anyone. if someone's cool with the plot they can engage; if they have problems with it, they may really need that space.

This would be the biggest problem with a non-canon incest ship in a game. It would be hard for close castmates to ignore and they generally didn't sign up for that shit.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-30 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
yes. it was canon incest though and afaik no one cared.
