Ticky tack clicky clack

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.

slight early-ish spoiler?

This is kind of stupid but. I really get irritated when people insist that Barbara is "obviously" a lesbian. Why exactly? Because she has short hair??? Because she's sassy? Because she's best friends with another girl her age? Even her being upset over Nancy dating Steve is really her just being a friend who is concerned her friend is going to turn into an asshole suddenly. It doesn't automatically equal lesbians.

I don't know - obviously people can ship how they want! But I guess as a lesbian (with long hair, gasp) the stereotyping just kind of grinds my gears. But I am also in the "it sucks she died but I don't care that much" camp, which is likely a very tiny camp, so blergh derp.

i'm really getting sick of seeing everyone treating lesbian barb as canon

i'd love if it she was, but there's nothing to say she's anything other than an awkward kid who has trouble making friends and is scared by how easily nancy is falling in with other people.

I don't care if people think that's she a lesbian but I will say that I don't really care that she's dead, either? I almost completely forgot that she existed until the end. But I see so many people who want her back on tumblr, makes me wonder if i missed something. all I remember was her getting pissy at Nancy at the party.

i think people only care about her because they think she's a lesbian.
