Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.

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'm semi-tumblr famous now but i've rped a lot of problematic kinks here (non-con, incest) and a few years ago i played an under-18 character at a sex game and i'm genuinely concerned that someone's going to dredge that up and use it to paint me as an IRL abuser/pedo

i know that tons of people have written porn of anime teenagers or homestucks or whatever and haven't had their reputations trashed so i'm probably being paranoid but god the "anyone who has ever even shipped anything problematic is a predator" culture is really starting to freak me out

i wish i kept my rp handle and tumblr handle separate, or that DW would actually make it possible to delete comments you made in locked comms you're no longer part of

im sure youll be fine anon

I've honestly never understood the mindset that causes this too. It seems the logic behind it is that if you play it out, you must fantasize about it and thus are a pedo even if you have never done anything to a child. Yet the same logic doesn't apply to anything else people play out. Makes me wonder more about the people making the accusations to be quite honest.

as someone who roleplayed on tumblr before, i'd advice against mixing your dw life with tumblr!

different mindsets, etc.

tumblr people are really dense, and they barely accept smut. don't think it's a bad thing to hide yourself but it's for your own sake.

i met some great writers in tumblr but tumblr is problematic as fuck most of the time, so think well before doing anything reckless.

1. how the fuck would they find you in a locked comm? tumblr rpers don't rp over here.

2. should've thought of that before you did it, tbh, tumblr is fucking insane. but i doubt it'll come bite you in the ass if it's in a locked comm.

3. you're not an irl abuser/pedo (i hope), but there's a reason you feel guilt beyond "omg tumblrinas will ruin my internet reputation". people don't rp kinks of things they aren't interested in, so you should probably evaluate where that ephebophilia is coming from, if you still rp that sort of thing. as someone who did, briefly, i figured out why and i'm really glad i did so i could stop. inb4 enraged comments - yes, rping smut of a teenaged character means you are at least somewhat attracted to the idea of a teenager having sex. people do not rp kinks or smut scenes of things they have zero interest, even if they aren't sitting there fapping to their threads. get over it. admit it and fix yourself.

anon do you think people who rp out murder are secretly harbouring a desire to kill their neighbours or

nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

nah only sexual things count. people who rp vore should check themselves for cannibalism.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol this dumbass response. Concepts being interesting in fiction =/= real life. Murder, abuse, questionable sexual scenarios are all interesting subjects to explore i rp/fic because writing gives you the safety to do so without anyone real getting hurt. Your writing morals don't necessarily reflect your real life morals. Fiction isn't reality and I nor OP isn't contributing to rape or pedo or whatever culture by playing on this niche ass site.
Besides, OP isn't guilt ridden, they're worried they'll be bullied and have very serious labels slapped on to them for something fairly innocuous.

1-2. I haven't told anyone on Tumblr anything about DWRP, but I have linked to Tumblr art on Plurk, so if someone who was still in the comms decided to grudgewank (or just troll because they're bored) they could.

3. I RPed it because it was the canon I was most into at the time, and because I liked the character type. A stylized fictional cartoon character isn't the same as "irl teen" to me, because fiction isn't reality and anime characters aren't real people.

[(Anonymous)]

so like...here's the thing i always wonder about this angle

if you reflect on sexual experiences you had when a teenager, and, like, you remember your perspective on that, and you think "man that was a good time" (or "that wasn't a good time but i'm gonna analyze it")...what is that?

serious question, not a gotcha, because obviously this isn't something people talk about often so i wouldn't know whether it's more common to decouple from your memories of that age at some point

i know that when i play/write/read anything involving teenage characters and sexuality, i as a person don't come into the fictional scenario at all, adult or otherwise, and i've never written anything pairing a teenager with an adult character and have no desire to do so. when i write teenaged characters, i work at understanding/portraying them via my lived experience of having been a teenager, and....sexuality was a part of that. and honestly it makes more sense in hindsight than it ever did when i was living it, teens are kind of dumb.

idk, if not for this recent tumblr thing, i never would have thought of there being some inherent connection between Writing a Teenager Having Sex and Personally Wanting To Have Sex With Teenagers. people who write teenagers like weird sexy tempter/esses or push them into sexual situations with adults, sure, but everyone was younger at some point so it's not like it's fiction that no adult could ever ever personally relate to or work within the character's point of view, it MUST be attraction to the teenage character etc.

fiction is weird because they're not really even "pretend people", they're ideas about hypothetical people that we mutate and use as filters on ourselves or other people or treat as actual pretend people depending on our current emotional wants or needs, so thinking of them the same way i think of real people who exist in a fixed state in my life....just does not compute at all

there's this thing we have in dwrp called an ic/ooc divide

please familiarize yourself with this concept before you do any more rp

okay, rping sex between two characters doesn't mean you're attracted to either of them, but even if OP was attracted to their underaged characters

anime teenagers and LA teenagers are nothing like real teenagers. anime teenagers are drawings. you usually cannot tell the difference between an anime character who is meant to be 16 and an anime character who is meant to be 18. plenty of artists draw characters who look way younger or older than their stated canon age. finding an anime 16-year-olds hot has absolutely zero correlation to finding human 16-year-olds hot. and LA teenagers are usually played by actors in their 20s, so being attracted to them sure as hell doesn't indicate pedophilia either.

sexualizing actual underage celebrities is creepy, but fictional characters is a completely different ballpark. don't understand this argumet at all.

If you're that worried about it try and get in contact with the comm's admin and ask permission to rejoin and delete.

IDK how you think antis are going to get into a locked comm and read your shit, though.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm less worried about antis finding my shit than I am about some bored DWRPer deciding to make a "callout uwu" on tumblr for shits and giggles. That's probably paranoid of me, but I know how wank-starved some people are here.

[(Anonymous)]

i've been in a similar situation - somehow became a bnf on tumblr but oh no, i have a checkered rp past under the same name! ...it's literally never, ever come up, because honestly most people don't care. but i understand the concern.

google your handle. add modifiers to remove the most common results (-site:tumblr.com, -site:pinterest.com, etc). does it show up? no? you're good. if you're still worried, google your handle + the name of the comm or something and see if it still comes up and is accessible. i think comms can also do that thing where you can choose not to have your journal come up in search results, so it might not even show the game at all.

that's about the most anyone's going to be looking tbh. if it doesn't come up through google, or if you have to do any specific digging to find it, then you'll be fine.

[(Anonymous)]

lmao at all the ephebophiles defending themselves in this thread

and lmao at that anon saying they rped teenager sex to cope with their issues. that makes it even creepier. thanks for more reason to avoid the fuck out of people looking for smut with their underage characters.

[(Anonymous)]

did the other thread get too big for you to copypaste the same reply over and over this time?

[(Anonymous)]

Cool, I'll make more of a point to advertise that I smut with my teenage characters. The further away you stay, the better.

[(Anonymous)]

sounds like you think FICTION IS REALITY

okei

[(Anonymous)]

anon, as one of the childhood sexual abuse victims from upthread: choke on a massive cock and die

it's really, really obvious that people you don't care about csa victims at all and are just using our trauma to inflate your sense of moral righteousness and pat yourself on the back about how good and pure you are. it's disgusting.

you don't care about csa victims. find something else to inflate your sad little ego.

hth

I honestly wouldn't worry about it.

1. Most people in DWRP just wouldn't think to stir shit on Tumblr about things that no one outside of Tumblr really give a damn about. Despite the trolls in this thread, when's the last time you actually saw someone namedropped for playing an underage character in a sex game or a smut meme? I've never seen it. At most, I've seen people opt-out without making a stink about it, or post something general like "I wish sex games didn't allow aging up".

2. Even if someone really wanted to troll you, what are the chances that they'd (one) still be on your plurk flist and know you're tumblr famous, (two) remember that you played this character years ago, and (three) still be a member of the community for a closed sex game to be able to track down proof? I don't even remember which characters my close friends played in 2012 or whatever, unless they're still actively playing them.

3. If you're ONLY famous on Tumblr, people outside of that Tumblr circle really likely aren't going to care or even know that your amount of Tumblr reblogs even means anything. I've had people on my plurk link to their Tumblrs and I never bother checking how "famous" they are.

4. If you're famous enough that people do care about your work outside of Tumblr, and someone here would think "oh wow, X is a DWRPer, let's see what shit I can dig up on them", you're famous enough to deal with a few antis getting on your case if you just ignore them. Antis as a group aren't actually that big or powerful. I follow around 1000 people on Tumblr, don't vet them all that carefully before I follow them, and haven't seen any "anti" posts reblogged on my dash. Antis follow and reblog other antis, anti posts almost never reach any sort of mainstream audience. Something like Killing Stalking is still popular on Tumblr despite having a LOT of antis, and that's because antis pretty much never convince anyone outside of other antis. The only time antis actually take someone down is in cases like that Miss Officer and Mr Truffles artist (lemonteaflower), who had a WAAAAAY longer list of offenses, and what really turned people against them was that they tried to scam $80,000 on Kickstarter and refused to pay hired artists. And lemonteaflower still gets thousands of reblogs on their art today.

tl;dr: antis seem big and scary if you're looking at their blogs and tags but in reality almost no non-antis actually care about them, so unless you're making content specifically to cater to antis I wouldn't worry.
