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.

my point was more about the fact that wankgate has had an overall impact on dwrp culture in general, that "don't look" might spare you some individual stress in some way, but it's not a guaranteed way to not have wankgate never impact your time here.

ayrt. to be clear, i agree with your main point.

like. yes, i generally do suggest people avoid it most of the time because it sucks you down a maddening rabbit hole, but i don't agree with anons who say it has no impact on anything. we really just can't measure that, and i've seen people on the comm say they'll steer clear of people based on namedrops. so there's that.

i also don't agree with people who seem to think wg is just a manifestation of private views that need a space to be vented and is somehow filtering away toxicity from other spaces. i think that's a bit short-sighted when it clearly creates its own kind of toxicity in the form of some real shitters who have cracked the wg "code" as it were and used it to shit on their enemies and muddy the waters about all kinds of things.

as for the argument that wg is useful for calling out toxic people, i'd argue it actually often makes it harder to do so, since the toxic people can just repurpose the anon environment, and a lot of toxicity occurs in private and isn't the kind of thing you can call out without exposing yourself to the scrutiny of the anon environment. a good recent example of this was the kisha and farrah thread under namedrops. by going public, jesse actually exposed themselves to the fangs of anon, for example. we have no idea whether some of those anons were kisha/farrah and friends either. so anon can actually discourage open and honest deets on assholes, since we clearly saw the deet-dropper dragged through the mud there and in other cases.
