rpanons | Cute and hydrated

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.

oh, i do engage - even if i'm not familiar with a character, if their toplevel looks fun or interesting, i'll take a chance and hit them up, and i usually end up having fun! it's just that there's a difference between looking at a crowd of characters you don't know versus being able to go "oh, there's [character] from [thing i recognize], i've always wanted to play off of them! and there's [other character i recognize] that i've seen around, i love their take on him, gotta hit them up." or even being able to think "that character in this setting is going to be interesting, i'm gonna stalk all their threads."

i dunno, it's a weird feeling that i'm having trouble describing. i don't mean it as a dig at people playing from new canons that they find exciting, and i almost always have fun threading with the ones i hit up.

lmao anon i'm sorry :( i hope your lip feels better soon

i did parent up

y'all got mad because they said gacha is popular because phones are what the younger generations are familiar with. they then further specified that familiarity by using the lack of (desktop) computer literacy

that's true

you and your grandma and your uncle being the exception doesn't disprove a trend. that's why it's a trend. it's a generalization. but rpanons (and wankgate) suffer from main character syndrome where if some random anon gets 'mischaracterized' they have to come in and tell us how special they are (or their families are) by not being like the others

anon

i'm going to hold your hand when i say this, because it hurts me too

zoomers are entering their 30s right now

it's called anomie

“Sociology has a concept that can help explain what you’re seeing and feeling,” I began. I then talked about anomie, Émile Durkheim's very relevant concept. Anomie, translated from French means normlessness, when things happen in society, change occurs so fast and we do not know what the norms are. Do we go back to the old norms? Create new ones? What happened to the current norms, why do they no longer apply?

oh, so it's a medium divide thing. op doesn't want to tag anomie characters.

i laughed anon

this is such a funny conversation to read as a non-american

i'm non-american too and it's a problem here too

so idk it depends

yeah for sure, i agree it's a problem, and i see it here too, i just mean it doesn't follow american generation lines here -- i was born in the mid 90s so i'm right on the cusp of millennials and zoomers, and because i went to uni late most of my classmates right now are kids who are roughly between 20 and 25 (so born in 2000-2005 ish), and it feels like that is more or less the cut-off age here; when i see people who are completely tech illiterate because they're so used to doing everything on their phones, they're usually the younger end of that group, meaning the cut-off here (again, in my experience) is like smack bang in the middle of gen Z. honestly, if anything, it's the lifting of the iron curtain and the consequent increased availability of western tech that feels more relevant to how this has shaken out in my country -- stuff that's not even a blip on the radar of the average american because it doesn't affect them at all. which is genuinely fine, it just made me laugh because it reminded me how different the world can be even for people who can meet and talk in the same place on the internet, if that makes sense

oh okay. i get you now

yeah i grew up in a latin american country and the culture here does trend towards people who know how to use computers because you have to learn how to fix them to get the most out of them. they're expensive, we can't readily buy computers whenever something goes wrong as easily as your average american. my first repair was swapping out a hard drive

that's how i got my start in computers, pirating shit via napster, using winamp, cracks of programs like photoshop and 3ds max, downloading roms for snes games, upgrading and repairing

sorry i should specify the culture of my age bracket. i was born in 89, so i was in my early teens when computers became affordable to the middle class in my country. i remember tearing that compaq apart one weekend because i wanted to see how it works, manual on hand

who is it anon so i can love and appreciate them instead

https://rubimemes.dreamwidth.org/6878.html

this happened to me and the common denominator was gossipy players from a game from half a decade ago who hated my guts for some reason, one even acting like a friend to both

removing them also stopped the anon hate and namedrops

sorry about it, op, hope you have infinitely more fun with crosscanon cr!

da, but this happened to me too, which was a damn shame because I had a million ideas that I would have loved to play around with. Happened in memes though, and the other person wasn't in any games with that character.

this happened to me recently too and sometimes it's just a matter of people wanting to play with their friends only. it sucks, but those are players that probably wouldn't end up being long term castmates anyway. try not to take it personally, it's most likely a them, not you issue.

the world is actually a big flat disc on the back of a giant space turtle

yeah that's all i got

looking for an asian man, ideally early to mid thirties, black hair, dark eyes and a beard. thony thornburg would've been perfect if he was a bit beefier

Andrew Koji

and are you actually going to play any of them?

op here, memes thankfully. it happened in a game too but they dropped really fast.

weird question

it’s always so frustrating seeing people line up and kiss ass to flakes who barely tag just because they play a popular character. whereas people who actually tag and keep things going are ignored.
