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.

rpa at least allows room for the acknowledgment that positivity can exist, and there are decent discussions here, though some of the same forces that pollute wg do also slide over here and stir the pot.

i will be extremely honest that i've seen/participated in the occasional decent conversation on wg and sometimes the shitposting there is entertaining in its more benign iterations, but overall it is a drag on this hobby. the mean girls/high school gossiping, and attacking anyone just for being a bit quirky.

and not to mention, my especial pet peeve, this tendency of, "i have this wild, radical opinion of being the ONLY ONE to call bullshit on something" that leads to terrible hot takes like that huge sexuality wank thread during pride month in which a lot of lowkey and high-key bigotry was shat out, some being intra-queer wank and gatekeeping. i have more salt about that even than the rp element, even if it gets frozen, as this ultimately did.

unfortunately rpanons has largely fallen victim to fruit of the poisoned tree. sure, there may be half a dozen people here willing to have fun and funny threads about their favorite games, but there's also half a dozen people who want to shit all over that fun and drag "wg content" into the rpa community. the fact of the matter is shit gets nasty on both comms and it would be hard to separate that from the so-called good stuff. it's all or nothing, basically.

and that's why while get-rid-of-everything talk seems extreme, i see where they're coming from. we're not nice over on the rpanons side of it, just nicer.
