You sound fat

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.

A random thought I had because I saw a post recently about greg. But I think a lot of people either forgot, or didn't catch on to it, but they keep mentioning how Greg is fat and bald, but I believe I remember him saying in an episode that he lost hair because of a Gem experiment or something like that?

Not an exciting discussion I know!

I don't have him in a game, but I do play Minato in memes

I think there's some degree of truth to it. Speaking from personal experience, I know that I tend to gravitate towards characters who are damn weirdos/social outcasts, because I too am basically a damn weirdo/social outcast. Although their personalities, morals, etc. are all over the place.

but i also don't think that it's necessarily something to judge people for. Someone who plays only protags might want the attention because they never got it in their own life or something.

ime, people who are jerks can pick up any character and turn them into a jerk.

This looks super fun!

So in the last few days, browsing rpa and wg on flatview, occasionally I will refresh the page and scroll down to the navigation at the bottom, and a loading icon will appear over the navigation menu and the next page will then auto load underneath the current page. I don't know why it's doing this or how to keep it from doing this (I'd rather just click over to the next page myself). It never did this before until the other day, and it doesn't do it all the time, actually only about 25% of the time.

Does anyone know how I'm triggering this?

If you use the Dreamwidth Tools extension, it's a function included with it. You can turn it off in the settings.

casual reminder that demisexuality isn't real

I would have no problem with that, it sounds interesting.

Yes, it is bad that you, personally, are assuming this.

Ah! That's exactly what was causing it, thank you. I wonder why it's not consistent.

Keep fucking that chicken.

Why do you care if you think it isn't

not op but most of the time it feels like the person is saying "i'm not like those shallow people only attracted to people for sex, i need a DEEP EMOTIONAL CONNECTION FIRST"

casually ignoring this is how attraction works for everyone

I'm wary of people who play exclusively villains and like, really shitty serial killer villains because they're inevitably a little unhinged and either into woobifying these guys or just making everyone else's lives a lot more annoying while fake-screeching about how bad their baby is.

Otherwise I haven't seen any real correlations.

but it doesn't happen like that for everyone. is it maybe alienating to people who are attracted sexually without knowing someone first? sure, but don't say that's how it works for everyone lol. there are definitely people who are sexually attracted to others without having a deep emotional attraction.

Also, demisexuality describes the ONLY mode of attraction that is deemed acceptable for women by society at large. It's wrapped up in a whole bunch of bullshit baggage.

Thanks for your suggestions! I think a cast cap of one would be a little too restrictive - but I was leaning towards having it be AU or memloss from the start. I don't want to prevent people from playing an arc with their castmates or even with a canon ship (because I've had a few canon ships myself that developed almost entirely offscreen and would love to play something like this), but I also don't want anyone to be expected to play the canon ship.

Would there be a way to strike a good balance between "you can play a ship with a castmate" and "but you don't have to, even if it's canon"? I was leaning towards memloss (or AU where it's assumed that none of the characters know each other) because it'd eliminate pre-existing relationships and the problem of characters being madly in love with someone back home and having to either go OOC or angst about betraying that person the whole time.

Maybe a rule like "If you have a specific ship in mind or your character's canon partner is in game, we encourage you to contact them before you app and see if they're interested in playing it", with the understanding that some players might want to do something different even if they like the canon ship.

I was in my 30s when I read about demisexuality, realized I probably would have IDed as asexual at 16 had I known about it, and wouldn't have chased boys as a way to fit in back then.

I married my husband after dating him for almost 2 years and never knew what it meant to be sexually attracted to him until after the marriage. That's why I describe myself as demi rather than ace.

It bothers me when people say demisexuality isn't a thing when it describes my experience so well and knowing about it being a possibility might have saved me a lot of confusion.

Personally I think OP's reaction is due to the fact that so many tumblrinas misuse the term that it's lost all meaning. It's a bit like asexual, problematic, trigger, etc.

memloss is probably easier than AU for most people. dwrp hates writing aus

inb4 someone comes in here to tell you that you're doing it wrong if you're not playing default shep or hawke

when people say it isn't a thing, they mean it's not something worthy of a label bc of how ridiculously common it is, especially among women. using it as a label to explain your preferences to potential date partners etc is fine and all, but the tumblr twees using it to claim they're totally queer and oppressed despite being het and cis is where the bulk of the hatred towards it hails.

The fact that some people use a term inappropriately doesn't mean that what the term is meant to describe isn't real.

It's interesting you compare it to overused terms like "asexual" and "trigger," because people generally don't act like those things are not real; they instead criticize people who use them inappropriately.

I think the "lol demisexuality isn't real" thing is mostly based in the unfortunate fact that demisexuality happens to coincide with the bullshit Victorian "madonna" side of the madonna/whore dichotomy. So people get up in arms about the moral implications and how anyone who identifies as demi must be looking down on those gross people who fuck around with anyone, when ... no? Maybe some demisexuals do. I've never seen anyone who actually identifies as demi say that, just people who are complaining about tumblrina demis claiming that that's what it always means.

Some people really are asexual the vast majority of the time and with regards to the vast majority of people, but are capable of experiencing sexual attraction within close emotional relationships, and that's what "demi" was actually coined to reflect.

but I'm not emotionally attached to the chicken!!
