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.

dude. i know that. but being in an emotionally abusive relationship with a person who lives near you or even WITH you is an entirely different beast than having a shitty rp partner

the I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF behavior was rampant in like 2005 but we're all old enough to know better than to fall for that shit now. block, move on, and don't try to make the situation look more dramatic by claiming legitimate abuse. it looks like a grab for sympathy, and if you wanna play that game, that's pretty manipulative too

a block button being the trigger of a gun... jesus christ, anon

look i know it sounds dramatic, but it can really feel like that if you've had your head fucked with enough. it IS a different beast, but blowing it off as if it can't do real psychological damage to someone is rather short sighted. i've watched people drop out of school and blow off basic needs like eating and sleeping because someone's made them into their e-lifeline.

and even when you do try the "block, move on" method, sometimes that's not enough. there's a lot of ways to track people down and stalk them if you're really dedicated. make a new account, use a proxy. distance doesn't even preclude financial and social concerns these days. we do everything online. you can look up someone's family on facebook in two minutes. you can financially "support" (read: control) someone from a million miles away.

abuse is defined by an imbalance of power and a series of damaging behaviours that seek to control the victim. that can absolutely happen via an online relationship.

i'm trying to have a genuine conversation with you about the definition of abuse and the ways it can occur, anon.

and i have told you i'm aware. i've also said i've been through my own shit. i don't need you to sit here and throw scarewords at me because i already know. all this is doing is blowing the situation way, way out of proportion and giving people like op an excuse to not do anything because ohhh x, y and z could happen

you KNOW the chances of op being in a situation like that are incredibly low. dw is full of shitty people with issues, but shitty people with issues who have the drive to actively stalk and ruin the lives of someone a million miles away? not so much. that's fucking rare

stop feeding in to the poor victim mentality in dw rp because once you turn everyone in to a victim, no one is anymore. save the drama for the real crazies

i'm not trying to turn everyone into a victim, though. you were giving me the impression that you thought abuse couldn't happen via an online relationship at all, which is what i was trying to refute. i wasn't really talking about op specifically, merely trying to give examples of how abuse can happen over any distance in this day and age.

why are you so incredibly hung up on the fact that this definition of 'abuse' isn't 'being beaten by a domestic partner'

a·buse
treat (a person or an animal) with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly.

it's not a competition or be-all-end-all and you can absolutely be emotionally abused by an online friend that using a block button won't necessarily help at all.
