sorry that people are sick of your majestic mcus

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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.

Someone not over sharing about their personal life or not expecting their acquaintances to be free therapists for them sounds like a dream to me.

that only works as long as the other person understands what it means and is willing to believe it and act the same way though

as shown above there are plenty of people in this hobby who will assume that they're besties with you even if you straight out tell them otherwise, because they're too lonely or socially awkward to read the room

even if you tell someone this it's not considered "normal" in this hobby to not want to be besties with everyone (which is part of the reason everyone acts like they're basically dating and entitled to their rp partners when drama happens)

>i did my best to discourage them from talking about personal stuff and did not share any of my own personal life

It sounds like they kept their boundaries pretty cut & dry.

a lot of people online don't discuss their personal stuff with their online friends. people don't tend to assume someone being private means the person does not like them and doesn't even want to be friends.

if they wanted clear boundaries they should have told them they did not want to be friends. they should have told them they wanted it to be strictly about the psl and only the psl. because they didn't tell them that. they did social cue shit assuming this person would get the idea.

but they weren't "cut and dry" because their rp partner would likely have stopped their psl. which they had every right to do if their interests weren't compatible. they didn't outright lie, but they led them on and let them think what they wanted so they could keep getting the psl they wanted.

exactly. i have online friends that i've known for years and i still don't know much of anything about their personal life because they just don't talk about it. i also have people i've tagged with multiple times on memes and we've never exchanged more of a conversation than ooc notes in tags or the occasional pm here or there to ask a question about/clarify something about a thread. that's the sort of thing i think of when it comes to rping with someone but not wanting to be their friend.

if you're playing a psl with someone and the two of you are gushing about the ship and plotting together and making jokes about it, it's not a surprise that the other person might consider that a friendship.

literally from op's comment:

but i did my best to discourage them from talking about personal stuff and did not share any of my own personal life because i didn't want to be friends, i just wanted to be rp partners

they DID tell them they wanted it to be strictly about the psl

wtf does "discourage" even mean in this case though? I'm betting they simply didn't talk about their own lives and hoped their partner would get the hint by reading their mind.

Re: nayrt

THAT'S A NORMAL THING TO THINK... ?????? that's not a hint, that is a CLEAR sign of distance

[(Anonymous)]

‘ op just strikes me as sort of snooty tbh. and i'm very much questioning what "discourage" even looked like in this context.’

‘the mean girl vibes are real here.’

Are we really going out of our way to find fault in the OP? This is cringe, anon.

i don't care how good the rp is, if someone is irritating the shit out of me i'm not going to tag them. and i'm definitely not going to pretend to tolerate them when i really don't like them.


I'm shocked this is being treated as a controversial opinion.

That’s not the point of this thread but I guess when you got to flex you got to flex.
