rpanons | You sound fat

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.

CONCERNS | RESOURCES

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

people "just prefer it this way" because if given a choice between consequences and no consequences people will choose no consequences every time. the whole appeal of anoncomms is that they give people a platform to say what they really think and feel without having to own their words, which is great for getting a finger on the pulse of our community (most of us are still stuck in high school mentality, apparently) but the thing about consequences is that they're the price we pay to get along with each other

if wg and rpa existed exactly like they were, just without anon, i guarantee most if not all of the problems they (and by "they" i mean mostly "wg") would dry up instantly. would trolls still harp on kristen or noodles or whoever if they had to own it?

the main issue i have with wg is that it LOOKS terrible to any newbie. and idiots tell newbies that it exists right off the bat. newbies don't know that 99% of wankgate is grudgey shit that everyone ignores, it just looks like a massive burn book that will tarnish your rep or something. when. it's not.

ayrt's idea of censorship really just means having to own their own words

i would bet a week's pay they're the kind of person who is all sweet words to someone's face and then they go to wankgate and badmouth them with relish

unless of course you're an actual rapist or piece of shit who tries to harm people in real life because of rp drama but that kind of wank doesn't happen all that often

look, buddy. the comms are here. they're not going anywhere. you're not making some kind of argument as to why they should because it's not happening. let it go.

you're missing the point. just because you're so brave and strong and you tell the grudgewanker where to stick it doesn't mean everyone else has that taste for confrontation, nor should they have to have that taste to be a part of this hobby

this is a writing hobby, not a hobby for internet one-upsmanship. if that's the hobby you want there are plenty of more appropriate places to get it

then maybe the best thing is to just let all of dwrp die and move to a venue where anoncomms are locked out the gate so this never happens again

maybe you're right. hell, i'll say you're almost certainly right. it's damn hard to get piss out of the pool once someone's gone and taken a leak. but that doesn't mean it should suddenly be okay for people to piss in the pool whenever or however they want. when i was a kid my mom told us she put a chemical in our pool that would leave a green line on our legs if any of us pissed in the pool. it was probably bullshit but it worked, i never pissed in our pool and neither did my sisters (that i know of). sometimes you need a green line to hold over little shits to keep them from pissing all over the places, it's unfortunate but it's just human nature

so don't go on wg, or avoid the namedrop thread. not that hard. you're not going to close the comms by folding your arms and scolding people, which you apparently can't do because that's too confrontational.

Sorry, but it's existed that if you piss off the wrong person you'll get your ass ridden forever even before wankgate ever existed. There were plenty of grudgewankers on LJ and you could see it plenty of times on rpsecrets back in the day. Wankgate didn't make them suddenly start existing, it just gave them a venue to be assholes on.

is it any better to shelter them from it, though? i told my friend about it when they asked if wg was still around because i don't think lying makes the truth any easier to handle, a bitter pill is still a bitter pill whether you try to swallow it slow or quick

then just make an anon kink-finding comm.

icon comms do not, by nature, need to be anon.

sock account shits are easier to moderate than anon shits. no one's saying they're going to go away, but they'd certainly be easier to deal with.

just give it up, anon, there's no point you can raise that can't be got around. there is literally no more reason for this to exist. get off the stoop, harry.

why do they need to know it exists right when they get here

if they just find it themselves then ask a friend or whatever "hey what is this" and get the response of "some stupid gossip comm most people don't pay that much attention to" i feel like it'd have a better reaction than "hi welcome to dreamwidth rp here's our wank comm! have fun!"

idk, are you the mod? methinks they're the one that's gonna make that decision, not you.

and you're talking about what happens to kids vs what happens to adults. we're adults. if adults want to be hateful, negative spewing assholes, that's their right. we can just choose not to like them, not listen, and avoid places where that happens. we have the kkk, wbc, trump supporters, and that's only in the general us. because there's a thing called free speech that people like to utilize. and some of those people are going to utilize it to be a dick.

i mean, hey, if you want to go open another forum or site like dw and censor the fuck out of it and disallow anything negative, you go for it. kick people. ban them. put up rules that allows you to take legal action.

but that's not going to happen here and dwrp is not going to die or be shut down because of wg and rpa. just don't read the comms, buddy.

no, they're not. but their influence arguably is. people are finally starting to realize that wg is mostly just a hivemind of maybe a dozen or so really dedicated, really nasty pieces of work and then a rotating list of people who visit to keep tabs, to settle their own petty grudgewanks, or whatever

wg isn't going away. but it's getting more irrelevant, i believe (and fervently hope). a small gang of horrible people shouldn't have power to make a community of thousands tremble before them. they deserve irrelevance and i think that's where they're slowly but surely headed

idk where i implied i'm "brave and strong" it's most like "exasperated and embarrassed" so stop projecting and do what the other anon said. stop looking. you do this to yourself

it's rich that you preach about how brave and strong you are but the thought of having to own your own words is too much for you to handle.

are you one of those people who flies into a rage at the idea of telling someone you don't want to play with them too?

why should there be fifteen different comms when one serves it just fine?

and ftr, sock accounts are not at all easier to moderate. kick one. ban one. and then they make another sock. all you're doing is just giving a troll a reason to go make up sock names and clog the system to keep getting around bans so they can come in and be a dick. at least this way, it's less burden on the server.

stop trying to fix what ain't broke. you just don't like the way it works. too fucking bad.

because like it or not these comms exist and they do have an influence, regardless of how brave and strong you are personally in dealing with your namedrops (despite being unwilling to own your own words apparently)

you say closing the comms won't solve the problem. well pretending they don't exist certainly isn't going to solve it.

if the mods of either comm haven't closed them down and have, in fact, worked to make sure they don't get closed down, i'm pretty sure the losing side of this argument is yours.

ok you sound kind of insane with this "brave and strong" thing now

> a small gang of horrible people shouldn't have power to make a community of thousands tremble before them

..... hahahahahhahaha when the fuck has that ever happened?

tbh, why wait for the peter? if no one is using it but grudge wankers, gossips, and trolls, why keep it around? it just seems pointless at this stage. the comm has long since outlived whatever worth it had. rpanons has too.

like, I don't think we should get rid of them because of negativity or wank or whatever, I just think they're vestigial.

you're really hellbent on keeping your anoncomms where you don't have to own the horrible things you say for a person who is supposedly so brave and strong and willing to face your namedrops and grudgewankers head-on and so on

BRAVE AND STRONG
