isn't it rich/we're otp/you here at last in your rut/me with no heat

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.

ayrt and i'm an old guy too and honestly it's entirely possible we might be getting an influx of people from both non-anon communities which are by default less acerbic and given that i've seen more than one person express surprise at the idea of anonymous communities in general, it may be that your guess it's actually 100% correct. i'd rather give some of the newer people the benefit of the doubt — i think us older millennials don't always have the best perspective on how much things have changed in such a short period of time with the internet and the culture around it because we've been around for most of the changes and dwrpers in general tend not to branch out a ton to other rp comms? this is just me spitballing btw I might be wrong.

and yeah i also get a little "ok :/" at some of the catastrophizing of new (and sometimes older) people on anoncomms whenever they see some spots of negativity on here, but i try to imagine myself in their shoes as maybe someone who just straight up doesn't frequent or know about anonymous communities to know that it's a commonplace thing to see in places where people don't have to put a face to their comments.

sidenote: i really do think dwrp would benefit from a centralized unanonymous (non-anonymous?) community too. something about us having like, ugly flop wankgate and then here, which is nicer by far but you still randomly see someone wild out about the dumbest shit just does not give a person a good impression ykwim. i can see where they're coming from. i'm not proposing a hugbox or whatever but it'd be nice to see more mentoring and camaraderie for sure. we used to have spots like that in ljrp and it sucks it's not a thing anymore.

I agree with your sidenote, but mostly because thinking about this group of 20-40 miserable people as the entire DWRP community makes me sad. I want to think there are more folks out there that I just haven't met yet.

>:C anon, your extremely reasonable tone and commentary have made me put away my cane.

no, but you're right. The people who've been here for a long while are mostly older-mid millennials (that's me too) used to a certain way things "are" but that doesn't mean it's how things should be or that the internet landscape hasn't changed around us and we can't change for the better too.
