Sex Horror City

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.

da

the cycle goes like this

gen fan: bakerstreet is full of shippy memes and it sucks! I want more gen memes!
other rpers: ok go make your own comm
gen fan: ok I will!
gen fan: *makes a comm*
the gen comm: *gets no attention, nobody posts to the memes except for maybe a week at the beginning, the comm withers away in silence*

cut to months later

another gen fan: bakerstreet is full of shippy memes and it sucks! I want more gen memes!

etc etc

bakerstreet is full of shippy memes because that's what most people want to play. post gen memes if you want to play them, but it's stupid to ignore the fact that the reason why popular memes are popular is because.. they're popular. that's all.

bakerstreet is full of shippy memes no one wants to play on, it's a bizarre lack of self awareness by some posters, who regurgitate the same unwanted memes onto the comm. i dont think the balance of preferences is as tipped towards shipping as people think, but it does look that way due to the number of ship memes, disregarding that many of them are empty.

ayrt

that too. the people who post shippy memes just do a lot of them. if there was a gen meme poster who threw out gen memes with as much regularity as the niche shippy ones then the comm would have lots of those. probably also not getting tags either.

it would need to be six or seven gen meme posters with an intense fixation on a particular kind of gen meme, mostly as tiny variation on that theme as possible regularly

itd be like if you had a winter meme, a mid-winter meme, a powdery snow meme, a thick snow meme, a blizzard meme, a snowman making meme, a frosty meme, a hail meme, a flurry meme etc.

winter meme with a TWIST (the twist is shipping)

Re: GENERAL DWRP QUESTIONS

NO

this is illustrating what it would look like if GEN memes were posted the way shipping memes are! you straighten out that twist immediately!

we did have that for a while with dousing posting like clockwork with mostly gen memes but anons constantly had fits about seeing the username too often so they stopped

nah, people don't even bother making new comms anymore because everyone knows it doesn't work. it's more like:

gen fans: bakerstreet is full of shippy memes and it sucks! I want more gen memes!
meme posters: *posts gen memes*
gen memes: [crickets]
gen fans: bakerstreet is full of shippy memes and it sucks! I want more gen memes!

people have to learn to tag in/tag out if they want play on gen memes, same as any other meme. a few of them seem to do well enough so there's obviously exceptions to the above, but overall, a sea of empty top levels isn't going to encourage more variety in the community.

its slightly closer to

gen fans: bakerstreet is full of shippy memes and it sucks! I want more gen memes!
meme posters: *posts gen memes*
gen memes: [pushed off the front page in three seconds by the werewolf smut meme, the werewear smut meme, the weremoose smut meme, the werefrog smut meme and other minor variations on a theme]
gen fans: /looks directly at the camera like the office

Sorry, it goes through my head any time a sharp-dressed man is hinted at.

the front page of bakerstreet rn has posts that are 4+ days old, how are you viewing the comm that memes get pushed off within "3 seconds"

if gen memes aren't getting any attention for days after being posted maybe the problem isn't that there aren't enough gen memes, anon

Re: GENERAL DWRP QUESTIONS

i think you're using a phenomenon that both gen and shipping fans hate and using it as an excuse to explain why gen memes don't get more play, even though shipping memes experience the same thing and the popular ones still get a lot of threads no matter how quickly they're bumped down the page

Re: GENERAL DWRP QUESTIONS

gen texting and midnight texting both get tons of play, maybe the issue is people posting gen memes that nobody wants to tag

you're lucky if you even get to the smut these days. feels like if i get dropped within two tags if my character doesn't immediately go to town.

lots of gen memes get posted where people just dump top levels and no one tags out. y'all say you want the gen memes so much but then you don't tag on them, so why should people go to the trouble of posting more?
