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.

While I haven't been into sports anime in a while I used to be very into them while also being someone who ran the gamut of "not interested in sports (chill)" to "not interested in sports (obnoxious)" so from that time:

- it's about the homoeroticism. A bunch of characters of the same gender in close quarters for long periods of time in emotionally intense situations! (Honestly, het fans of sports anime, sub question: what are YOU doing here???)

- funny enough, pop idol group rules apply here too. Even the smallest sports team is more than half a dozen characters and any sports anime needs at least a few rival teams... that many characters, you're almost certain to have a blorbo.

-great rival sitautionships but the stakes are never actually bad enough that someone is gonna die over it, so a lot of emotional stuff to play with but easy to find common ground between who you want to ship (but also plenty of mafia AUs if you do want that rivalry to involve someone being dead)

- you'll get as much explanation of the sport to follow what matters to the show within the show itself but tbh a lot of the Sport is mostly vibes. Like when they accurately portray the Sport people are quick to point it out and geek out about it because it's a rarity (or was back when I was into it).

Be careful though... you may develop at least a casual interest in the Sport because of the anime. It's been known to happen.

not even a het fan but fyi people can like things with same gender characters in emotionally charged situations and appreciate the friendship and teamwork aspects of it just fine without shipping

i realize that this is probably a joke but it's off-putting because same gendered people can exist around other same gendered people without it being inherently homoerotic

no it's just weird to lead with "it's homoerotic and if you're not here for that why are you even here" when plenty of people enjoy something because it's a feel good story about friendship

okay but there are ten million other feel good stories about friendship that aren't homoerotic the ways sports anime are, so yeah, kind of curious why someone would specifically pick the one genre that is well known for being homoerotic if that isn't what they're there for

i used to rp with someone years ago who was like that and she was just... straight. she liked looking at cute/hot anime guys and that's it. there were some relationships where she could see the bl vibes but aside from that she didn't see it at all. i was like her window into bl because whenever i told her that "people ship x and y btw" she'd be genuinely surprised. 99% of all male characters were simply straight to her.

🤓 actually it depends on the country but it's estimated to be closer to 93% and could be lower than that

>93% identify as completely heterosexual
>4% identify as mostly heterosexual

quick math quiz what's 93+4

Don't forget that information is taken from outdated sources. More people are out now, and this more likely to answer honestly to sources questions, compared to even 10 yrs ago.

97% of males irl are afraid of being perceived as anything other than straight because being perceived as anything other than straight cis and white by the very male peers they cater to is seen as wrong. It's funny to watch them identify as straight while hating women and fighting for the attention of other males they deem as their alphas.
