I hate it when people make needlessly rude characters so they can act like a dick to the rest of the party while they hide behind the excuse of "being in character"
You have a problem with characters who aren't nice? You're aware that making a character different from oneself is the mark of a good writer, yes?
He did say the qualifier needlessly.
That's a bit vague. How can a fictional character be "needlessly" rude? It sounds like the words of someone who projects too much of themselves into their writing.

That's sorta the same reasoning he's using. Look at his post again. He dislikes those that make a 'mean' character so they can project whatever mean thoughts they're thinking into the RP.
Still pretty vague and inapplicable to roleplay, unless you can somehow tell the difference between a character who is a dick and a person who is a dick using their character to be a dick- but to me, it just seems like people are hurt over their self-inserts being bashed in-character.
Not really vague if you have run into this kind of person before. I have several times and it's actually pretty obvious. These are people that go on tantrums in the OOC because their OC isn't treated the way they want them to be treated. And after said tantrums they then go into the IC and have their character lambast all the other characters because they're not getting their way.
if what is being said OOC and what is being said IC are virtually the same than chances are your dealing with an immature idiot that can't separate their ego from their character.
Ahh, that helps. Yes, I've run into that type of person, but I wouldn't call that making a character needlessly rude so much as another form of self-insert. Thanks for specifying, though.
Kudos to you for saying "I don't actually think that my character cares that yours is so gorgeous except in your expectations" in the nicest way possible

what your describing is a character that acts distinctly different to the player. what they are describing is when the player and the character are both being equally dickish.

@Mad Prince of Sanity Thats why i have a character that has a wide variety of weapons at his disposal. He can only carry 2 melee and two ranged when out and about though.
Kind/Friendly Demon/monster/unholy being: I only hate this if the rper doesn't have a story to back it up. Common reasons why are The thing was Raised by humans, fell in love with a human, or was helped majorly by humans in the past. I really hate it when people make friendly evil things because they want to
The whiny and arrogant type.
Whining about everything under the sun from the food they might eat to the people they may meet. No, just no.
Arrogant to think their level of skill gives them a sense of entitlement, that they can take on any and everyone without consequence while feeling all others should bow down to them. Nope.
The character that must do everything alone. Combat evil, obtain the ultimate power, reject their comrades to protect them, and ultimately save the world.

Pretty much real life too, at least in the real world you can avoid em, here? If you really like the rp you're forced to deal with it DX
Oh my word, this is so frustrating to deal with if you are that character's companion/partner/team-mate etc. My character may be patient and willing to slowly let you come out of your shell, but I sure as hell am not X.D It's really difficult when post after post and there's no visible growth.
I see your point depends on if say you're Hao ASkura. Then it's pointless to fight the Shaman King,as he became Divine and took down the five warriors. The universe vs the earth. Also that level of arrogance is only granted to those have honed themselves completely beyond the void. You make a valid point but it's full of holes.
