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.

They're usually larger than life characters doing heroic and interesting things. I don't think there's much complexity to it, it's fun watching people do good things and be badass and win the day. I genuinely care about the characters too, I think they're interesting and sometimes well-acted/well-written and I don't care that people think it's fun these days to hate on something popular (not you, to be clear, but in general).

Escapism for sure too is a part of it, I've had some shitty times and yeah I like to just imagine having super powers and being someone greater than myself, it's nice to live in their shoes in RP. To be able to write out that power and the interesting stances they sometimes take as heroes. It feels good to take the humanity from these characters too, to understand how I feel they tick on the inside, what makes them special, and writing it for myself.

It's just fun, honestly. I don't enjoy writing relatable ordinary people because that's already my life, I want to do something that's different when it comes to creative pursuits.

+1 as somebody that doesn't even rp from superhero stuff necessarily but still plays from some other fantastical canons in general and rly jives with the last paragraph here: basically all my characters bear very little resemblance to me and my life, and i enjoy it that way. rp gives me a chance to divert my brain thinking about what makes these characters tic, and how their strange surroundings and/or powers affect that; as a hobby it's a great way to not be thinking about rl for awhile. this kind of escapism makes it fun for many people

this is it for me. i already live that, why would i want to write about it too? that's also why i'm just not interested in slice-of-life canons that don't have something fantastic going on. my current main is an ordinary human but he lives in a world where things like magic and monsters and demons exist, so even though HE may be ordinary he lives his life surrounded by things that are very much not ordinary and part of his narrative is how he deals with all of that.
