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.

do you tell someone you know if you see them on wankgate?

(Anonymous) 2018-04-19 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. Not worth it.

Depends on the context and how well I know the person. If someone's just bitching about their icons or calling them a flake for example, I won't bother, but if something legitimately concerning pops up I might give someone a heads up.

i did once, they did not take it well. i never will again

it's never ever worth it, let them live in blissful ignorance. or if they already know about it, they're just gonna feel worse knowing some real person with a face instead of a gaggle of anons saw it too

I don't know what the point to this would be other than making someone feel like shit.

they're talking about doing the thing they're on wankgate for again when they haven't been doing it up until now. a warning might accomplish them not doing said thing and causing themselves more grief.

it's hard to offer advice without more specific context. is the thing they're considering harmful to them/their mental state, or does it bring them enjoyment?

if you're talking about the yuna icons it looks like she's using game icons with her recent post.

I did once because frankly, what I was reading sounded very out of character for them. They were aware of it and figured it was an ex-friend who used to bully them into threads due to Anon's typing style. The wank never got off the ground because there was nothing substantial there -- like I said, it was all very out of character for this person.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-19 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
why in the world would i do that?

(Anonymous) 2018-04-24 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
No. Unless it's something very serious and there is actual proof of it, there's no reason. Most of WG is baseless shitstirring for reasons varying from petty to downright malicious, and just about everyone has been called a "flake" for one reason or another at some point. The word has pretty much lost all meaning by this point.

^ a lot of namedrops are just malicious or petty grudges.

if it's a concerning problem or out of character you could pull your friend aside and say "hey, i heard from someone else that *insert deets here*. what's going on with that?"

otherwise don't bother.

(Anonymous) 2018-05-07 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
it depends on the situation

if it's a namedrop where it's just a bunch of faceless people talking about how shitty they are, then no, why ruin their day over something they can't do anything about.

but for example one time i did inform a friend that i saw them on wankgate because someone they trusted was dumping on them in an extremely obvious way over something completely unreasonable and petty (not the same thing but roughly at the same level as being mad that someone politely turned you down for a ship), and they probably wouldn't have known that this person was acting nice to their face but shitting on them out of earshot otherwise.

basically there's no point in bringing something to somebody if all it's going to do is upset them, but if the alternative means standing by and letting them unknowingly stay on friendly terms with someone who's acting nice but wanking about them behind their back, it's worth it to make sure they know what's happening and can decide on their own how to deal with it.
