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.

Even for a Josh apologist, getting mad about Ashley stabbing him makes no sense because 1. it's the player's choice to do it or not and 2. she has literally no idea it's him at that point.

Mostly, I second everything that's already been said (I find Josh sympathetic and I love his character, but his whole arc is him taking out his issues as destructively and self-destructively as possible, lashing out at the people in his life until they don't freaking want to be there anymore, and actively digging himself into a hole), I just felt the need to emphasize that, too.

RIGHT.

And thanks man! I really do genuinely like his character a heck of a lot (I actually like all the characters in their own ways, though I like Josh more than probably half of the others) and I do feel horrible and sad for him that he got the Bad End in any ending because I don't feel he deserved such a horrible fate in either of his endings, but tumblr has a hard time understanding you can like a character a shitload and still not coddle their bums or not find an excuse for every single one of their poorly thought-out or horrible actions.

There's such a huge difference between "Josh's story is so fucking tragic and I wish he could have gotten a chance to get better and I think he's a good guy despite the horrible, misguided things he did" and "HE'S SO MISUNDERSTOOD AND EVERYONE'S HORRIBLE TO HIM AND HE DESERVED BETTER, PRECIOUS SUNSHINE FLOWER, FUCK [INSERT CHARACTER FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST JOSH], JOSH LIVES ENDING 2015!!!!" God help me.
