You sound fat

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.

yes, but not directly. looking at someone's muselist will tell you what kinds of things they like writing/reading about, but from there, you have to extrapolate a little. that common trait or trope or plot element might be direct wish fulfillment, but it also might be fascination with something they don't personally relate to or it might be a catharsis thing or any number of other reasons people like certain things in fiction.

another telling thing is not just the characters they play, but the kinds of plots they usually run or cr they usually have. same applies there.

all the nicest people ooc i've known have been people who played really assholish characters from a position of removed, analytic interest, and all the most irritating have been people who play near-flawless hero characters with lots of personal emotional investment and only want positive threads and cr.
