rpanons | next time i'm sticking to my antisocial ways

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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

no, it's not. the problem i've experienced as a male character player who ships m/f is that a lot of female character players are basically only angling for specific male characters to ship with. it's not that they want to play m/f, it's that they want to play m/f with a very small selection of male characters, so when they can't find players of those particular characters who want to ship m/f with them, they claim that no one wants to play m/f when the reality is that they're just picky.

While I've noticed this as well every now and then when playing my male characters, it was only when I was doing the same thing, angling for a particular female canon character. But other than that, I've had no trouble seeing as there are tons of fish in the sea that my guys can tag and start chatting up, so I don't think of it as a real problem or reason to bring up, really.

Basically, if a female character doesn't want to interact with your guy, there are a ton more who will. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying?

i was referring to the claim that there aren't many female rpers who will rp as the male character in m/f and saying that it's nowhere near being true and that the people who make that claim are the female character players who are only interested in shipping with specific male characters and then get mad when the male characters they want to ship with don't want to ship with them.

i have probably 2 or three female characters in my roster, only one of which i play with any regularity. i prefer playing her m/f. most of my guys are ota, but i have a couple that have some very intense m/f ships and i prefer to keep them m/f only. i don't think i have any guys that i play as solely m/m. i enjoy m/f as the male character. i enjoy it as the female character, but i find it's way easier to get ships for my dudes than my ladies.

I see what you're saying, and it's probably a piece of the puzzle for sure. But not in the OP's case. I'm the one who replied to her offering my guys, and she was happy to play with any of them no problem (and they're not flavors of the month either). We're in the middle of plotting. :D

Everyone has their own perspective. We can only tell you what we've seen and been through. But I think we all can agree that if one is only willing to rp with a few specific characters, then one has no room to legitimately complain or get mad if they don't get to ship with those characters. Usually, people like that are easy to spot, and you just avoid them, at least from what I've witnessed in the past.

i was thinking while reading this i see male characters either as ota, m/f, or "if you check their journal they're clearly m/f only" all the time. i dont play het most of the time so i dont know the players' gender as i dont reach out to them. maybe the memes i check are just the ones they all flock to?

I keep reading and rereading this comment and I still cannot tell what you are trying to say. Do you think male players looking for m/f playing male characters are part of this issue or??

Sub-op specified "females playing males in m/f" while op did not. so i added in that disclaimer that i didnt know who the players of these characters were. just that i often see male characters who are open to or exclusively into m/f, in spite of the comments that act like they're nonexistent.

but we don't want to play with that dio or an ex-assassin lol
