All the pretty little anons

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.

because i want to play out kinks that would be unacceptable or side-eyed in non-sex games within the confines of a cr continuity you just don't get in memes

god i despise people like you. you know why i tell people i don't have a favorite band/genre? because i don't listen to music. i've never bought a CD, i don't listen to the radio, and the idea of sitting around doing nothing but listening to an album bores me to tears. it's background noise for me to listen to when i'm driving and forget about the minute i turn it off.

i'm not a music person. get the fuck over it.

i was just responding to the claim that if you play out a sex scene in a non-sex game, you're going to be automatically wanked on. that part is just total bullshit.

nobody's saying it's going to be as easy to find sex in a non-sex game. it's just that the claim that you're going to get dragged to an anoncomm and raked over the coals just for playing out a sex scene is ridiculous.

Playing a psl and playing in a game are still totally different experiences.

why do people respond with shit like this

like, we know that. no shit someone whos going to be an asshole isn't worth talking to. it's not about that. it's the history of embarrassment or bullying that makes sharing this sort of stuff difficult for people.

we know that someone who does that isn't worth having a conversation with, but in the moment? it's much easier to simply say "i listen to anything" rather than just putting yourself in a situation that makes you uncomfortable.

Or maybe music just isn't important enough to them to care about more than what plays on the radio or whatever they listen to.

(Anonymous) 2016-10-08 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
maybe this is weird but i don't really care so long as they don't drop major spoilers for my character (like "oh shit you died at the end of season 3!" or whatever)

i've been on the opposite side of that and played characters who are massive nerds where it would be ooc for them to not recognize someone like say, superman or luke skywalker. so i usually just play it off as them being like "[INTERNAL SCREAMING]" while trying to keep their cool on the outside and not mention the whole fictional thing.

on the reverse side, if i'm the person playing superman or luke skywalker, i just accept that i am playing a super popular well-known character and that there is going to be a certain amount of other characters recognizing them. i feel like it's too much to expect an rp with 80-200 characters in it-- where a LARGE chunk of those are or were regular people from western cultures in 20th/21st century earth-- to just NOT recognise characters that are cultural icons, or to not react, or to not tag you. accepting that people will recognise your well-known character is kinda part and parcel of playing them. if you can't deal with that, don't app them.

Hey newbie. It's a reference to renne wank.

Would you like some other female characters in your game? I'm considering apping one.

I wouldn't say male characters slobbered over my female one or were desperate for her, but the prevalent assumption that 9 dicks out of 10 are gonna be repulsed by pussy in this hobby is... definitely an overstatement. Just don't go into it expecting attention from specific people, because they might turn out to be like That Gayve and you'll be disappointed. Keep an open mind, be flexible, and your experience will lilely be just fine.

not gonna lie, switching between plurks manually is a pain (i wish there was a widget!), but i've found it's dramatically decreased my anxiety worrying about if i'm bothering people who only have me added for RP with my RL shit. making a clique wasn't appealing to me because i don't like sending out email blasts every time i wanna talk about my personal life. and on the reverse side, friends that i've made through rp who i no longer rp with and don't want to see my 4981723 plurks about games they're not in but still want to keep up with me personally can do that easily, too. it's not a perfect system but it's got plenty to recommend it imo.

It's been happening to me, too and I've been backing up my files in preparation for a total reset.

In the meantime, if you're on a laptop, try unplugging it, removing the battery, and holding power down for 30-40 seconds. It's not a permafix but it might get you back into windows at least.

it sounds like people being contrary for the sake of being contrary, the exact sort of bullshit that deserves to be mocked.

Nah, they were fine otherwise! I just let them pick the music and rolled my eyes throughout and didn't bring it up of my own volition. When I say 'upbraided' I mean in the sense of tween-aged girls and a little later into teenagerhood. Everyone was super vehement about everything all of the time... sort of like the OP of this debacle of a thread, ha ha.

I don't really care so strongly about music that any of this is debilitating, it's just a weird quirk that I haven't let go of yet.

Easily the worst shit, and all one friend of mine ever wanted to listen to. You're not quirky and indie, you just apparenly have a thing for neutered idiots with egg whites for blood.

Fucking hell how many times are we going to HAVE this thread? Nearly everyone prefers faster tags. Nobody is expecting professional writing. FFS

(Anonymous) 2016-10-08 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never kept track. Going by my comment counts across all my active journals, 20/day seems to be the "average" for them, but that doesn't really mean anything since I don't really tag every day-- I have days where I don't tag and days where I do masses of tags, so. Who knows, really. Idk. Just go at your own pace? You'll find people who want to play with you at your speed, there's so many different kinds of taggers out there looking for so many different things. There's no point in worrying about others.

Game concepts flare up and fizzle out all the time. Especially shit like boarding school games or whatever, we can never seem to get one off the ground.
