Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for fictional character 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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.
Discussion of or soliciting RP for celebrities or other non-fictionalized versions of real people is not allowed.

ok you dont have to learn anything bc i explained it to you

if you want to keep being an asshole then youre an asshole. it has nothing to do with you being a woman, you can still propagate shit ideas from shit movements. the incel movement was started and named by a woman

literally what are you talking about

'pretty people get away with more because physical attractiveness is associated with positive qualities' this self-evident truth at the core of lookism isn't 'shit ideas' from a 'shit movement'

you're overcorrecting

in a vacuum sure, but youre not really considering the context of the thread/community and why that puts a bad taste on what youre saying

and frankly if you cant wrap your head around why a non-negligible group of women are sick of being told that theyll let hot people get away with problematic behaviour if theyre hot then nobody can connect those dots for you. it doesnt really matter if youre a woman too

and frankly if you cant wrap your head around why a non-negligible group of women are sick of being told that theyll let hot people get away with problematic behaviour [...]

it is everyone. all of humanity. since ancient times. remove the chip off your shoulder (understandable as it is) and note how i didn't specify gender at all. because people have been doing this since people were people

To judge by appearances is to get entangled in the Veil of Maya [in Buddhist thought] ... From ancient times until relatively recently, there was widespread worry about lookism, because the appearance of others may deceive, especially in romance, or it may be personally or politically imprudent to judge or act on appearances. Judging by appearances was prohibited by monotheistic religions ("no graven images") and criticized in ancient and medieval philosophies. Skeptics, Stoics, Cynics, Epicureans and Scholastics elaborated various reasons to avoid or subordinate the role of appearances.

'how dare you criticize this thing don't you know women like it/do it too?' is one of my least favorite genre of online conversations because it's stupid and frankly insulting.

i didnt say "how dare you criticize this thing"

i said "this is why youre getting pushback" because i dont think you understood why people got annoyed

(frozen comment)

i'm not the original anon who posted that so /shrugs

i'm annoyed because apparently it's not okay to point out inconvenient truths because women or something

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

ok then youre annoyed about something you hallucinated bc nobody said that to you

and frankly if you cant wrap your head around why a non-negligible group of women are sick of being told

did i though? it seems to me you can't read so i'm dropping it here

(frozen comment)

read that again for me, anon, bc it doesnt say youre not allowed to speak your mind

i said thats why people are annoyed

i didnt say youre not allowed to say anything ever because im the free speech police and im putting you in a cotton mask about it. you can say whatever you want, its just people can also tell you to shut up

there are multiple anons in this thread, because i posted the original observation about hotness = ignoring cws (like sa, for example)

and it's true so idk what you want

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

have you considered

they read the cw and are not bothered by it

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

sometimes that's the case but not always

there have been enough instances where people are clearly avoiding and putting blinders on about certain things, ignoring mentions of it, pretending their characters just can't figure it out, actively making excuses, so on

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

i dont understand why this is mutually exclusive with "read the cws and are not bothered by them"

(frozen comment) sa

[(Anonymous)]

wait i didnt read carefully enough

the last two arent mutually exclusive but the former is just bad rp, honestly

i dont think its that your character is hot i think its just that theyre bad at the hobby

pretty sure some people just want to tag a hot character but don't want to deal with the things that their character would ICly have a problem with, so they OOC ignore them by having their character IC ignore them

okay but if you're just playing in a meme or they just met or something, how likely is it that your character is going to run into a lot of these kinds of content warnings? we constantly have issues with people infomodding villains and somehow "figuring out" that they're evil or lying even if the villain is actually very friendly and willing to lie about themselves. encouraging players (who are oocly fine with the content) to tag a character anyway even if that character icly would not like the content is.. fine actually? if it comes up later then it can be a fun conflict to rp.

+1

my main character is a character that comes with a load of cw. he's not an abuser or anything like that, but he is a character that i know some people may find uncomfortable to interact with for various reasons. however, none of the topics present in his content warnings are topics that come up in the first thread with someone, especially on memes, unless idk the other player initiates the subject broaching for whatever reason.

like idk where all these I PLAY TERRIBLE CHARACTERS WITH ALL OF THE CONTENT WARNINGS EVER and everyone who rps with me ignores them because my character's hot are coming from

just feels like everyone in this argument sucks at rp. i'm also struggling to fathom why some of these people are playing their characters based on their responses here.

yeah you've definitely woobyfied characters you wanted to ship with or you wouldn't be this determined to argue against a really common occurrence in all corners of fandom

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

the overall point is good but i am fascinated with this take that "no graven images" has anything to do with judging the appearance of actual human people
