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.

How is this any more dangerous than, say, hailing a taxi. Locked car, total stranger at the wheel. Id be more freaked out by that than someone I at least know the online persona of.

taxi drivers have to go through some kind of screening and background check. they have medallion numbers and most taxi services now have some kind of system to track fares. there's a lot of structures in place to keep dangerous people out of becoming taxi drivers and to track them down if they do something.

rideshares like uber have a lot less scrutiny which is why they have a lot more instances of drivers assaulting passengers. that would be a better comparison.

there are also counterfeit medallions and fake names. loads of taxi drivers have been accused of sexual assault. it was a thing for a while. every system has a flaw, anon. ubers and rideshares are probably more accountable because of insurance issues that taxis don't have. (depending on if it's a union cab or company cab or what the system in place for any given cab company is)

they also vary from state to state and country to country. even city to city.

and randos you know the internet persona of have absolutely none of those safeguards, even the ones that don't work as well as they should. how is that better.

you're the one picking the rando, not me. if you're the dumbass going to meet someone you don't actually feel you know well enough to meet, that's on you.

i've known people for years online and seen plenty of pictures and known other people who can attest to their validity and i'm STILL uneasy meeting online friends for the first time. even if you know someone really well, how positive can you be that it isn't all an act? and even if they're legit, they could still just be really different in person. i've known people online that were way less funny and easy to talk to in person, and i've known people irl that i try to keep up with online and we just didn't click the same way.

it doesn't matter how well you know someone online. there's still all kinds of uncomfortable or scary situations you could end up in meeting people from the internet.

and that's still your decision to put yourself in what may be an untenable situation. you make that decision. no one forces you to. so either take precautions or don't bother.

psst use lyft, they do background checks. i was pretty horrified to learn that uber doesn't.

i don't go out on my own in the first place so i don't get in taxis alone. and aside from that, you can see the driver and might be able to catch any sketchy vibes early on, and you can hop out or ask to be let off early and find some other ride home.

with meeting online friends, if you haven't got solid proof someone is who they say they are, there's a real chance you could fly cross-country and find yourself stuck with some lunatic. or they could be the person you saw in pictures, but irl they're way different than their online persona. whether they're just creepy or gross or straight up dangerous, you're generally stuck with them hours from home or anyone else you know and completely dependant on them for shelter and food and rides to and from the airport. if you're really uncomfortable, you might be left with no option but calling a taxi and waiting for it to come pick you up and drop money on an early flight home.

You're only completely dependent on the person you're visiting for shelter, food, and transport if you're a complete idiot.

You should always make sure you can make alternate arrangements if you need to. If you don't have friends in the area you can crash with, don't go unless you can afford a hotel room or a flight change, or are willing and able to stay in a hostel if there's one in the area. Bring money for your own meals. Rent a car or familiarize yourself with transit options in the area.

If you take basic precautions, it's no more dangerous than any solo trip. If you don't, that's totally on you.

duh. but it's still much more difficult/expensive to ollie out of that situation. you can (and should) take every precaution, but it still sucks a lot more if shit does go wrong.
