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.

physical activities are not unilateral or interchangeable. you can avoid exercises similar to the ones that cause you pain in your day to day.

yoga, in particular, does wonders for this. same with bodyweight workouts. both of which you can do for free in your own home for minutes a day thanks to the wonders of youtube.

Honest question, is the term "social justice warrior" meant to be a compliment or something you call yourself and not an insult?

I always thought it was a descriptor for the Tumblr types who are out of touch with reality and actual politics.

I swear by yoga. Had chronic pain in my knees and lower back from years of both misc injuries and overweight (and fucking stairs). Yoga not only helped me slim down, but it also helped ease the pain in my joints. Don't ask me how, it just did.

DDP Yoga, anon. Give them a shot. It did wonders for me, even when I was working doubles most of the week.

it's kind of like 'nigger' where it can be a hideous insult or a term of camaraderie depending on who it's coming from and who it's going to

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's meaningless because it's both, and the way people define it differs so wildly from person to person.

In some circles, something as simple as wanting people not to use "gay" as a shorthand word for "something I don't like" makes you an SJW. In others, you're not an SJW until you're sending death threats to people who draw non-diverse fanart of characters that already have a canon race.

It is completely and utterly worthless as a term.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
kind of like 'neckbeard' that way

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
it used to mean someone who got offended at the drop of a hat and mostly used social justice as a tool to be a bully.

nowadays, it doesn't really mean anything, it's a generic insult toward anyone you don't like who espouses a sociological or political opinion anywhere to the left of pinochet.

this is the whitest comment I've ever read.

no one calls each other "nigger" as a term of endearment, unless they're /b/-style edgelords.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
i'd call you a nigger but i'm absolutely sure you're whiter than jerry falwell's corpse

i had a long response to this typed up but it was a lot of waffling and it boils down to, this issue is really complicated and idk what i'll do with it yet, but thank you for your thoughts! idk if the "they don't think of families as we do" thing would have occurred to me otherwise, honestly, so this was really valuable.

Fair enough, and as I said, I do agree that entire game wide plots are fun.

I know we've had a dry spell of events, but it hasn't been nearly as long as people think, only November and December. The October monster swap event was very hit or miss, but a large chunk of the game participated regardless. During times like those, it's important for players to come up with their own personal plots and not depend on events. Sometimes mods hit road bumps, and I hardly see why it's cause for alarm.

Anyway, to your point about players being limited, I think that should be brought up to the mods. There's no harm in asking if you can run a personal mini plot that involves more outlandish stuff than we usually have access to(such as monster fusion, though that's a stretch), things you can do immediately and not plan for game wide situations, if that makes sense. Just drop a quick line of "Hey if my cr and I explore X can Y happen?" And see what the mods say.

I don't mean to slam your frustration, but Ryslig has never struck me as a game that will always be plot point after plot point. It's a very casual game, and any events and juicy story we get seem to be bonus. It will be nice if that changes, but it's not entirely essential, and I don't feel like the game is stagnating at all.

depends who you ask. it's used both ways, with varying degrees of irony.

and to be fair, it's still super awkward when a well meaning white person, usually a young kid, uses nigga. usually need to have a few gentle words about how that can get their asses handed to them so don't say it out loud.

but it's really definitely not the same. when a black person calls another black person a nigger, it's to point out they're being a shitty person and enforcing stereotypes. it is completely contextually different.
