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.

I don't really think absurd screaming of chants and face paint, or slamming your bros through tables, really counts as "well-adusted" anon. Football fandom is still fandom. It's just a more socially acceptable form of weird.

just put them over your knee already mom

like they said, a regular diet of corporal punishment is the only way to cure what ails them

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
yeah but football bros generally manages to wash off their face paint, deal with their hangovers and go to work the next morning

people in our lines of fandom are generally much more stunted in terms of everyday functioning

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
as someone in football fandom.... no, they don't. especially the bros.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
fair enough. i'm not actually in football fandom, i just hear it's the fandom of choice for potbellied working-class types

ugh this

people around here lack the spoons to even get out of the house, and are crippled by anxiety by talking on the phone

don't cheapen the spoon analogy by letting the lazy assholes use it as an excuse.

Google and wikis tell me precious little about the player's interpretation of the character, which is kind of a dealbreaker in some cases. Especially for canons with a lot of ambiguity.

tell us about your guardians

For those who rp/want to rp them, or if you've just put a lot of thought into them!

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
which is who I inherited it from, since that was my dad. but yeah, as a lifelong football fan, I promise you, there are just as many people who never turn off their crazy.

like, in general, you are shamed if you can't shut up your "inner fan" in normal spaces. You can wear your merch out, but don't you dare start screaming about the play you saw in last night's game or else you're a fucking weirdo.

basically, being part of both cultures, I see them as way more alike than different.

it was dumb to begin with. let them have it

actually i agree with the last part. socially awkward people can often blame their parents for how they brought them up wrt acting in social situations, reacting to things, dealing with criticism, etc. if not parents, then teachers/other caregivers.

a lot of it is a self-fulfilling prophecy, too, i think. i used to be horribly awkward and socially anxious. now, i can put on a face like i'm not, even when i feel nervous or weird in any given social situation. i partly taught myself this and i'm honestly proud of it. it involved a lot of self-reflection and getting the fuck over myself, as well as building up self-esteem.

fuck if I know, I'm not one of the anons saying anything about him. he's said enough direct things that I disagree with strongly that I don't need to be making assumptions about his adjacency to nazism or incest to dislike him.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
a lot of us are definitely social rejects, but a lot of us aren't. i feel glad to have a group of rp friends who are completely, boringly normal human beings, myself.

i never finished it because the condescending tone put me off, is there an actual point to that long-winded bullshit

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
all the football bros i know are stoners who don't work because mom & dad don't make them or only work part-time, by choice, despite being in debt

i mean, i get it. i also have chronic pain and have to carefully manage my energy. but holy fucking shit, like you said, the tone was dumb and it was just. idk. i hate how it's praised as the best thing ever when it's just an unnecessarily complicated way of saying "i don't have the energy to do this/i am in too much physical pain", and to add insult to injury, i've never seen anyone use MUH SPOONS in a non-idiotic way

I still see a few RPers kicking around, there's small casts from several of the games in Ryslig, the game I'm in. XIII and VII still seem to be relatively popular. I used to play from VIII and IX myself and have been toying with the idea of picking them back up.

i feel like people with invisible illnesses like chronic pain need a much better "thing" to refer to that isn't something so fucking long, patronizing to both sides, and pretty clearly fake
