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: HMD

[(Anonymous)]

only once--it was for an oc and the player asked me to not tag them with that specific character because of a personal trigger. it was nicely worded and i completely understood and respected that and so i did not tag them. they were fine with me and liked my other characters so it was just an issue relating to that specific trigger and not to the characterization itself or me personally.

i will say when monthly game-wide hmd posts were a thing i'd get way way more comments but they were always "I LOVE [CHARACTER] KEEP BEING BEAUTIFUL" superficial compliments, or jokes/meme comments, or maybe the occasional "bump up the activity i miss seeing you around" when i disclaimed it with "i know i've had a bad month and haven't been so active lately i'm gonna fix that" so. nice? but not very useful. i can not think of a single instance, in all my years of playing (i have been rping on lj/dw since 2008) where i received actual advice or criticism on my characterization or something i could practically improve upon. very rarely i received a compliment with actual substance and i hold those dear to my heart every day. i remember them even many years later.

i have on four occasions contributed to a concrit that was a collaborative effort between me and maybe 2-3 other people directed at characters in our games who were grossly ooc. we spend a long time dissecting the good and bad that they were doing and offered tips to improve and word it as nicely as possible. and without fail every single time the player would spit back an even longer justification for why they were ooc and double down and blow up their plurk with really bizarre insecure and over dramatic posts, then drop a month later. or they'd immediately drop with no effort in trying to improve while blowing up their plurk with vague plurks and trying to collect as many buttpatters as possible before apping to another game and trying to bring them along.

in retrospect, it was pretty obvious they were all self-inserting to some degree so nothing we'd ever say on a hmd would make them not feel personally offended and react that way.

it is true in rp as it is with real life; the people most open to criticism are usually the ones who need it the least. and the people who need criticism the most will not listen to it.

i think hmds are ethically/morally important but actual practice useless as fuck, especially within the last 5 years.
