ゴメンナサイ

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.

i feel this way about trans stuff.

i hate trans headcanons pushed onto fictional characters for reasons. if i say this i am branded a transphobe. in reality it's just the artist/writer/their fans trying to "win" an "argument" but it still hurts a lot, considering i have dysphoria myself.

it's not worth trying to fight over. nobody will respect your point of view in the tumblr age.

Go with something you think would be cool. It doesn't have to be interesting or unique, just roll with it. Doesn't matter whether it's boring or weird, just that you think you'd have fun with it. Just keep in mind that some of the 'traditional' powersets might have to be broken up into multiple powers, while other powersets can be combined into one.

For example, super strength and invulnerability? Two separate powers. Being slightly faster, stronger, and tougher than normal? 'Enhanced physiology'.

One possibility is to go to http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Random and see what you end up with, but there's been a lot of really stupid shit added there recently as people take established powers, insist they're different because this comic/video game/manga handles them differently, and creates a new article for them. Or creates needless sub-articles. You might end up with a few garbage results, but keep trying or just do a wiki dive until you find a result you like.

arguing semantics is bullshit, come on anon. the root word for "-phobia" can also mean to have a dread or aversion towards something, not necessarily a fear.

and honestly, i'd argue that a lot of racism comes from a fear of people who are different.

trying to argue the word away does nothing but redirect the conversation in a pointless direction. hell, if you wanna argue semantics, then why do we use the word racist the way we do, when a word like artist or linguist carries no negative connotations? see how stupid of an argument that is?

also back to your original point: there's a big fucking difference between someone who doesn't want to watch gay porn and someone who goes "ew gross" when they see two men kiss.

that feel when you want to send the mods a million pm's asking if anything is even going on in the game anymore because everything is behind schedule

that's nice, but they didn't mention people going "oh gross", so what's your point?

I actually find dumbasses kinda difficult to play because it's really easy to overshoot their dumbassery. Finding the right balance of dumb but believable was always a fun challenge.

I've been there for around a year now and I'd say things have improved. We hit some rough patches over the holidays but we've bounced back the past few app rounds. We're not as big as we used to be (we 'only' have 100 characters) but the players we do have overall seem more open to plotting and more invested in the metaplot.

feels like big games are just destined to fail these days. nobody has time or desire for all the modwork, shit falls behind, playerbase gets even more loud and entitled. who the hell would WANT to mod?

small, scattered games are dwrp's future. we only have a few giants left.

Except the decent sized bit, if they're looking for something Ryslig sized. We're consistently around 50 characters, half our game cap.

But other than that it does sound like OP's jam(jar).

i agree 100%. i am trans, and i hate a lot of trans headcanons because...like... i don't want to be trans? i'd be a cis person of my gender if i could. needing to imagine a character going through all the same shit i do is really just very uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing for me. it's like a bad reminder being thrown in my face. it makes me less able to just kick back and enjoy something because now it's got all these nasty feelings and reminders tacked onto it.

i'm convinced a lot of people who come up with trans headcanons are so far removed from what being trans is actually like that they don't consider how pushing that stuff onto a character could negatively affect the people who see it.

as has been said above, don't get involved in the main plot if you can help it. it goes nowhere, has very little impact on anything, and we as players cannot affect it in any meaningful way. the gods are nonentities and 90% of the game doesn't even give a shit about the god war anymore.

avoid bloody bones-related anything. you'll be better off for it.

tag out a lot, try to build a circle of CR and play out your own story arcs with them. if you do that and treat the game as a sandbox, it can be pretty fun.

why are there people on tumblr who are willing to curse 5 times in a sentence, but still censor like one letter of the cursewords with an asterisk

like do they think the tumblr admins are going to take their blog away or something because they said "ass"
