this right here. like another anon, i have pretty bad experiences with craus, because the players want to just jump a character’s bones even if the other player is not the same one they rped with.

and if the craus are prisma refugees? that might be even worse, they can be painfully pushy when it comes to their ships and smuts.

cool, let's label an entire gigantic playerbase as ship/smut pushers, that's a good idea.

cool, let's ignore that an entire playerbase comes from a smutty a/b/o game whether half of them want to admit it or not and that wherever they app as crau, they'll likely have animal/sexual attributes or experiences that don't line up with non-prisma cast. prisma's a smut game. if they plan on apping into a new properly labeled smut game with prisma crau, then they're the shippy/smutty type. there's no reason to jump into a gen game with prisma crau, because it wouldn't fit right unless you plan on shoving shippy shit in with it.

stop pretending you're not playing in a sexy furry game.

it's good to see reading comprehension is still a rare commodity in these parts. no one said they weren't in a smut game, you mental midget. try reading what you're replying to.

and you're still assuming a lot about people with no basis other than your own biases. nice. if this is the types of players this hypothetical game is attracting, I sure hope the mods have fun with it.

i'm not gonna pretend i wasn't playing in a sexy furry game but also having bird wings or a tail or even tentacles can carry over in many and arguably even more completely non-sexual applications

like, yes, of course i enjoyed using tentacles for smutty purposes but if i'm not in a smut setting and my character isn't either, i'm not going to keep pretending i am, and neither are they. they aren't going to be compelled by the moons or chroma anymore to fuck. they're going to have tentacles and maybe i want to explore the idea of them coping with that weirdness in a setting where it's not normalized, or maybe cope with what they went through in a new jamjar setting, or use the tentacles to climb up building walls, or ball them around their cr to act like a shield in a fight, or use it as a cr hook like maybe they get a tentacle snagged on something and need to ask someone for help.

maybe my otherwise baseline, very boring, very normal human might, you know, be boring to play with. again. like i have a million other times in a million other jam-jars.

don't be so narrow minded, it's not aLwAYs AbOut sMuT!!!

anon, if you were my castmate and your character had fucking tentacles, that's not cute or fun or funny for me. that falls under the category of "unrecognizable" and it's awkward and uncomfortable and i'm sorry but there's no escaping the inherently sexualized element of it either. so this was a really really bad example to try and argue for craus. forcing weird elements of your character onto castmates because you just have to have your crau isn't okay.

it's also not narrow-minded to you know, want the version of the character that comes from canon. i'd even say that's a baseline expectation in most games.

plus it's forcing elements of a game setting people did not volunteer for onto them anyway. Cindy didn't want the random castmates with tentacles and furry orgies of Prisma so she stayed in her lane and apped to Random Jamjar #394 instead. Suddenly with the crau, the elements of the setting Cindy specifically opted out of are now being brought into her lane anyway. Suddenly the old adage of "if you don't like the setting then drop/don't app" becomes worthless, because anywhere Cindy goes she's still potentially going to have to deal with bits and pieces of that setting anyway in the form of craus.

if i specifically don't app to a game because i have issues of any sort with the setting it's not exactly thrilling to have said setting drop itself into my cast in an entirely different game i apped to because i didn't want to deal with the other game.

so what you're saying is that if a castmate elected to get some weird-ass powers provided by the game setting that were identical to the powers described by ayrt, then it'd be okay?

and again, if you're apping into an established game, regardless of if craus are allowed or not, most characters are not going to be "recognizable" after any number of months of development, anyway. how is it different? someone apping in isn't gonna see all the totally valid reasons why your villain character became more nuanced than Pure Evil or why your hero character maybe killed someone due to some kind of event circumstance. they're gonna be just as "ooc" to a new castmate as it would be for someone to app in a crau.

it's different because context is present in one case and absent in the other. the castmates coming in later apped into experience and play with the same context that has changed the characters who've been in there for eight months, they did not app in to play with that plus baggage from some other game.

don't get all titty twisted at me about your precious crau i'm just answering your question.

but they're still apping in with baggage they didn't have full context for, is what I'm saying. just because you can maybe trace it back to an event in the game doesn't make it any more or less feasible a development because you weren't there to witness it either way. in fact, I've seen people complain about this type of situation more than once when craus aren't even involved.

you can have the same results regardless, is the bottom line. people deal with this type of thing with differing canon points as well. characterization changes that don't make sense, and yet that's canon, and people still complain about someone using it in their rp. you see what I'm getting at?

yes, i see what you're getting at, i completely understand you, i promise lol. and you're right, you can sometimes have similar results. but it's less likely, and it's not what people signed up for, and crau stuff extends past canonmates into anyone from any other canon they had cr with.

the difference for me is if someone has just been in a game for months they're different from crau because i can learn what has happened by simply reading shit from the game i am in or apping into that is relevant to me.

i don't have to go into a game i wasn't in and don't care about for the context.

see, there it is

"i don't want to play with things i don't care about"

that's the root this whole argument. ergo, it's a stupid argument.

holy shit do you have to take classes to be this dumb or is it a natural talent

uh, dude. when people don't like a game/don't want to interact with parts of a game we tell them to app elsewhere. that doesn't work if you fuckers insist on bringing those games into every other game possible. then you've completely ruined the option to "app somewhere else then". are you dumb?

if it’s something very disruptive like a sex(-“friendly”) game or a monster transformation game, I don’t think CRAUs should be a thing except between other sex games or monster transformation games.

if they’re coming from a basic-ass jamjar or world-hopping game, that excuse for barring CRAU falls apart.

This is bait.

Probably an unwanted take but...

If your character is so CRAU'd as to not be recognizeable by their original cast, just make them an OC and start from scratch. Then you won't be horning in on a cast that doesn't know what to do with you and you can still ship with others without the same strings attached that come directly from CRAU. Cross-canon shipping is a thing in a lot of places and, for those games that accept OC's, you'll probably be fine? (If the game doesn't want OC's they're probably also not going to want CRAU's, they'll also just be more PA than they otherwise would.)

sick and tired of playing with castmates who are crau and completely different from canon.

so ones that aren't from 5 different games and unrecognizable are ok?

deep sigh.
