rpanons | I'm bad at this

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. 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.

>if everyone is mature and communicates clearly

this is incredibly, incredibly rare and i guarantee you that if you're talking to someone who toots their own horn about being poly on tumblr or plurk ("being poly" has had a huge surge in popularity on the internet so i assume this is what op is talking about, and if not, then w/e it's still relevant to the topic and to this community), you haven't found a mature one who can communicate clearly

can poly relationships work out? sure. but is that the norm? aaabsolutely not, and it doubles back to the type of people who are drawn to poly relationships or the concept of "being poly" in the first place. the insecure, the immature, the selfish, the needy, the avoidant, etc, and all of those negative qualities are an instant death sentence for a poly relationship

no arguments there, i think a huge part of who's doing poly lately are internet wo/man children. your comment makes way more sense if applied toward them. you can't paint all poly relationships with that brush though, and i do know of quite a few relationships that are going strong after many years. usually it's when they have one main significant other, and keep others to the side essentially as fwb.

can relationships work out? sure. but is that the norm? aaabsolutely not

this is equally as true as your statement, though. i don't see anything in your arguments that's both true and unique to poly relationships

i didn't frame this very well, now that i read it back. i'm saying that your statement would still be true if you took out the "poly" part, because most relationships don't work out whether poly or otherwise.
