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.

okay, but actors of the correct ethnicity just don't exist in sufficient numbers to fill pb needs. i don't know anyone who doesn't look for someone of the right heritage first, but heritage is not the only factor, and sometimes, the pb is just literally not there.

as someone who has used a native pb before, they do exist. you just have to actually make an effort to look.

cool. that doesn't mean one exists for every native character in existence.

are you suggesting that we need to find a different, specific pb for each and every native character in existence?

you can use pbs that have been used before, anon.

are you suggesting that one or a few native actors have enough variety in all their other important features to cover every possible native character you'd need a pb for? you being able to find a pb for, say, a biker gang member doesn't mean i'm going to be able to find one for, say, a teenage nerd.

no, i'm saying that they're not all used up, and one could have been picked instead of a white woman.

jesus christ, this is not a hard concept i'm trying to express. there are very few native PBs which means very little variety in looks which means there is not enough variety for all the characters with some native ancestry to have a native pb

this is not the fault of rpers

here's at least 60 names over a long period of time of both full native and mixed actresses.

it might help you to know there's actually an entire station dedicated to aboriginal programs, much like bet. there are plenty of native actors/actresses. they're just not in mculocknatural. take a moment to look and you can actually find some decent examples.

and where are the icons or caps for them

same place as any icons/caps for lesser capped characters. sitting there waiting for someone to commission someone else/make their own. don't expect everything to be handed to you. if you're playing a character from an indie movie or some obscure fandom, you'd have to maybe download the show/series and cap it yourself, or commission someone else to. same goes. if you find a pb that would suit better, find what they're in. see what you can hunt down. either make your own (which are easier to do than people think) or get someone else to.

don't bitch because it's not there waiting for you with a bow on top.

go to bed, little white girl. no one buys that you care about any of this except to shame someone.

tumblr ---->

sorry an honest answer blisters your ass so much. must suck to want to just stir shit and not be able to because logic sucks.

shouldn't you be sticking to tumblr right now? it's scary out here where people might not be impressed by you pretending to care about minorities so other boring white girls will lick your clit over it.

the fact that your answer to everything is 'lol tumblr' proves my point. i don't tumblr. i'm too old to tumblr. i have actual real world experience to pull from. with actual people. i've seen the grass. i've touched it. it was green and good and tickled my toes.

MAKE SOME, jesus.

alternatively, look at pb_updates. under black haired native american women in the 20s and 30s alone there are over 100 links. (admittedly, a lot of them are rosario dawson, but a lot of them are not.)

there are actresses like tinsel korey, julia jones, mizuo peck, happy frejo, irene bedard, tonantzin carmello, etc.

go fucking look, you wailing tittybaby.

i'm an icon maker. i'm asking for caps because i want to make some, but my computer can't handle capping, unlike other commenter i don't have the spare cash to commission caps, and just about the only thing with native actors on the numerous cap sites i use is twilight.

possible solution: see if there's anyone willing to cap for you if you'll share the icons. a lot of people are willing to do work to get the things that are hard to get. i've capped for better icon makers to do my chars before, just like i've had to make my own shit from scratch (capping/iconing my own.)

i also have a pos computer and i can't do a lot of stuff on it, but i can do single screencaptures, so if you've got time on your hands, go through and just snap the scenes you want to icon instead of having 1000+ caps that are probably mostly useless.

yeah, i've got someone who caps for icon makers, but she's really backed up on requests rn. but maybe there is someone else out there.

you could always put out a call in the html/graphics help. or maybe ask your friends to spread it around and see if anyone has anything you could already use, or if they have easier access to it than you.

i asked someone to do a whole series for me and even offered a couple points of remuneration, got a bite from a friendly anon who refused to accept payment (but it was xmas time so i sent it anyway generosity bitch)

just ask!

your computer can't handle hitting print screen?

not for nothing, but print screen doesn't always work with some players. i used to do that out of habit and wound up with blank screenshots. idk why

so are you going to share these icon and cap resources or just hoard them to lord over everyone else

It may seem odd, but I've used Animget here before to capture screenshots. It's very easy to use, doesn't require a great computer, and does sequential shots. Just don't shoot more than maybe 2-3 seconds at a time.

One can also use PrtScn and Paint (or any art program) to get captures. It's slow, but effective.

It's not so hard, just takes a little work and some looking about for things.
