We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

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.

not that I think anyone in this thread cares at this point, but I'd say you're wrong on a few key points here

for one thing, the "older" mindset is absolutely still present. gay people who were born in the 60s or 70s (or earlier) are still very much alive and part of the culture. being over 40 doesn't suddenly mean that your ideas about the world vanish or stop being influential

some members of a younger generation of activists may disagree with those approaches, but that doesn't mean that their perspective is uniformly influential. what's narrow is trying to claim that the "old" has been simply replaced by the "new." it hasn't. they exist as two currents alongside each other, and you can't just selectively ignore the history of everything that came before your moment to overstate the singular power of some (but certainly not all) younger people

you're also really overstating when attitudes started to change. it was by no means since the 90s! the late 00's maybe at a stretch, but it would be far more accurate to say only within the current decade is change starting. there are still a tremendous number of gay people in japan who continue to see their sexuality as a private "quiet" sort of matter. they don't want it to be seen as shameful, certainly, but they aren't trying to live the sort of in-your-face oppositional gayness that has characterized decades of lgbt activism in the west from stonewall on

even events like tokyo's rainbow pride take pains to present a non-threatening, non-aggressive, easily assimilable version of gay people. it's a friendly, demure, quiet march that doesn't even disrupt traffic, and that continues to symbolize the overwhelming attitude of gay activism in japan: we would like to be accepted and treated well as part of the culture, but we are not trying to make waves or rock the boat or be too loud or confrontational about it

when you are talking about differences between the approach to gay politics in the west and the approach in japan, you have to acknowledge the difference that this continued wish to keep things relatively quiet and not troublesome makes. so no, I'm not just talking about a difference in generational queer politics. I'm talking about a difference in two different national queer sociopolitics between america and japan which continues to shape things now

so are you a japanese-born gay person living your whole life in japan, or are you just really mad over the prospect that some people would like a gay option in a video game?

I'd like to help you out but if you need someone to quickly boomerang tag with you, I might not be the right person.

Does the sample have to be in the tdm?

I won't be online for some hours now but I'll check this thread later to see if you want to try to set up something.

They should always be locked to protect your playerbase and make it easier to do damage control if you need to. Posting locked site content is a violation of DW's ToS. It cuts down on the amount of shitstirring people can do because anything that gets posted is subject to deletion.

As a player, I don't like unlocked mandatory HMDs because when I agree to app, it's with the understanding and expectation that the crit I'll receive will be from people who are presently in the game. If they're left unlocked, anon needs to be disabled to deter interference from uninvolved parties. If someone comes in with a sock and stirs up shit, mods can be dealt with more effectively.

As for people wanting to give anon crit, most people enable it on their personal HMDs anyway so there's that option if they absolutely need to pursue it. There are very reasons, if any, that requires them to be public.

Lmao this.

Christ, you're dumb.

No-one has been saying they're mad about the prospect of the option. They're mad because Japan and the West's approach to LGBT lives and acceptance isn't the fucking same and people are trotting around in this thread with their hands clasped together and staring up at the heavens like "Oh, everything would be better for the gays in Japan if they just had more gays in media! That's what they really need! Everywhere really just wants to follow the American LGBT movements and political agenda to the letter and cultural history is only important when I say so! Anyone who says otherwise is just mad at sjw!"

an umbrella term that anything that involves consent being part of the scene/play

consensual non-consent like anon said, dubious consent from drugs/alcohol, no clearly given "yes" like somnophilia or from hypnotization/magic/etc, putting a character in a position of "not sure if want", or just straight up non-con

lagunbiru's probably the most kink-friendly game in dwrp since they're actually part of the goal and you can request which kinks you can push your character towards

Back in my day we called that "dubcon".

(Anonymous) 2017-04-14 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
And apparently I missed where you said exactly that so disregard that I suck cocks. Consensually.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-14 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
haha, no worries! dubcon fits under the consentplay umbrella, yes

the kinks on lagunbiru are meant to be inclusive so that you can fill the squares easily with what you're most interested in as a player, or disregard completely if you aren't

fucking yes. if I can't get into those doors guarded by the overly-apologetic machine lifeforms soon I'm gonna explode like they do. I hope it's like nier/d3 where the dlc is actually super content rich. I don't mind paywalls as much if the extra bullshit is decent.

this character comes very easily to me, but at the same time, they're totally modern and "hip" and use all kinds of slang that people use rn, that sort of thing. and i am wary of playing them in public due to people thinking i'm being a huge self-insert when really, the character is just like that.

does anyone else have characters like this? ones who are easy and fun to write, but could be mistaken for blurring ic/ooc so much that you don't really play them beyond what you rp with friends?

(Anonymous) 2017-04-14 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
i think you're worrying too much. if it's in character for them to say/do things that are in vogue at the moment, then you're playing them icly. what the hell is someone going to call you out for?

not all characters are going to be complete polar opposites of their players. stop caring so much, man.
