Help! My rp partner hasn't invited me to play our OTP in their game! (´・ω・`)

Rundown: [community profile] 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.

i know this is probably bait, but anon, like half of my friends here are trans. maybe you're hanging out in the wrong circles.

you are irrevocably changing their established canon identity.

and oftentimes, it's an identity that deserves to just be let alone/accepted for what they are, such as cis characters who do things that are seen as gender non conforming. i've seen rpers who i'm sure are well meaning want to project trans identities onto cis characters who do things like that, and i get why, but i also feel like there's some weird gender re-un-packing involved in it, too.

THIS. so much this. we constantly talk about destroying gender roles and yet when a character does something not gender-conforming then that must mean they're trans? it pisses me off how people can't see that's offensive as hell. imagine telling a girl that they're actually a transman because they don't behave girly. god.

Thirding this. The only trans and autistic characters that anyone should be playing are either 1: canonically trans/autistic, or 2: OCs.

louder for the people in the back

if you want a non-gender-conforming trans character, make an OC. then you have a trans character *and* you don't have the gross "not performing your gender role perfectly means you're not really that gender" implications.

thirding this as another autistic person. i don't want to read your ~quirky~ stereotypes about how my brain works.

i'm pretty sure there's more than one kainé player that refers to her as intersex, which one am i supposed to hate again

Try not to take it too personally. Sometimes people don't mesh, and if they'd rather ghost than communicate then that's on them. It sucks, but if they're not willing to tell you what you did wrong, there's no way of knowing or fixing it. You can reflect on what you might've contributed but in the absence of any way to know, try to let it go.

she's also canonically referred to as intersex, so i am not sure what else people are supposed to call her.

Re: -1

(Anonymous) 2021-08-16 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
i was gonna say, i thought that was literally canon

Re: -1

(Anonymous) 2021-08-16 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
this. referred to as intersex by the canon itself, and confirmed as having a penis in the book. which is also official canon. it's not some ~sexy futa~ headcanon

so idk what anon wants?

Re: -1

(Anonymous) 2021-08-16 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
+1 sounds like this anon is angry about one canon character, specifically, while being unaware that she's written that way

I think it's valid to take issue with Kaine being referred to as intersex by the canon, but this is not a widespread issue in dwrp unless you are deliberately projecting your issues onto TLH neckbeards playing magical cock lesbians

i wish people would stop promising me replies or starters. it's okay if you aren't interested or feeling it. as much as it sucks, i don't mind dropping things you aren't interested in, just stop stringing me along every day or week saying you're going to get to them.

Dear RP partner,

I wasn't sure if you were still interested in our thread... and I got so happy when you finally tagged back! I never care how long our threads take. I just love what we're doing with this ship and don't think I've ever seen this character played half as well by anyone else.

This is worse than just bailing imo. Either tag the thing or don't.

I don't need a "I want to tag this!" that you don't mean. Straight crickets would be better than pity comments.

+1 it's not the RPers who don't know what actual intersex conditions look like in this case, it's yoko taro

not that just calling her a futa instead would catch any less flack

if it was a one off, no problem. that totally happens. but like the old saying goes, if you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. if you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.
