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.

Does it, really? In both cases the person doing the request is imposing their wishes on the other. Why is 'please forget about me, and by extension whatever happy or significant memories we've had' more selfish than 'please don't forget about me, and by extension whatever happy or significant memories we've had'?

There's no 'selflessness' where emotions and sentiment are involved. Of course, since we're not given any real context for the question -no knowledge of the nature of the relationship- it's hard to say which option is 'better' than the other.

But it's neat how we're all making assumptions and jumping to certain conclusions-- painting option A on a more positive light because selfless = good and selfish = bad, even though option B would be a perfectly reasonable request if we assume the relationship ended for reasons not related to any type of abusive or toxic behavior.

Sorry to jump on your comment, nonnie. This poll made me want to rant a bit.

you are projecting way, way hard.

that came off harsher than i meant to be. it just seems really weird to jump into someone else's thread and make it all about your own personal issues and not even answer op's question. if you're having a bad day, or you have strong feelings about how to end a relationship, maybe start your own thread instead of plugging into a thread that's specifically "hey, guys, what tickles your tragedy bone more?"

it's selfish if it's a romantic relationship and by "don't forget me" the character means "don't ever move on", which is what people seem to be assuming in their answers here

you do realize that "please forget about me" isn't literal barring very, very specific circumstances that don't exist in 99.9% of cases, yeah? it means "please move on and find happiness without me, because i'm not coming back".

just like "please don't forget about me" doesn't mean a character's afraid their beloved is going to come down with a sudden case of amnesia.
