solution: redesigns that give everyone bootyshorts

[socksuke_uchiha]

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.

Re: VENTING GOES HERE

[(Anonymous)]

I try to be supportive but hearing someone who thinks trigger warnings for rape and incest are for sensitive crybabies rant on plurk about how much they hate people who use numbers in their usernames or have borders on their icons is exhausting. I want everybody to be happy but at some point I run out of sympathy and I fully admit it's me being envious. I work, I have college classes, I pay bills, I might just be a shitty friend to this person because they're unemployed and live with their parents and I'm bitter. I know I should try to be someone they can vent to because not having anyone to vent to sucks.

But I'm so tired of everything being the end of RP and tumblr being the end of the world and everyone being declared a snowflake. All my other RP friends have moved on or drifted away and I don't want to end up with zero geek friends, but I'm just so tired all the time. I dread opening up my plurk. I dread seeing their emails. And I feel bad for dreading it because they clearly have no other friends and they need someone, and I feel bad venting because it feels like picking on them.

This friendship has lasted five years but I swear it's aged me at least fifteen.

as someone who was in a similar position: it's not worth it. it feels bad now, but you'll feel better once you finally rip the bandaid off. if you feel bad just ditching them, though, you can try to confront them about their attitude in the kindest way you can in the hopes of salvaging the friendship. it may not end well, but what do you have to lose?

alternatively you can try to make new geeky friends, either irl or online. if your friendship with this person ends, then you have another social group to fall back on. if your friendship with this person continues, then you'll feel less pressure because they're no longer your only geeky friend, and you might have an easier time dealing with them.

It is not your job to be their friend, anon.

Gonna be tough on you here, but have you ever considered that your other rp friends have drifted away because you're enabling someone who sounds like a toxic shitheel? What do you even get out of this friendship? They are actively making you feel bad just by existing in your space. That is a sign you need to get out.

Send them a link to this thread, tell them it's you, and then tell them goodbye. You deserve to be friends with people you actually like, not just hateful people you pity.
