It's fine! Appreciate the apology. This is just a misconception that pops up relatively often and so it grinds my gears.Sorry if that was unfriendly. I didn't mean to.
I mean, you are entitled to feel how you do but that does sound insensitive. Roleplayers come from all walks of life and from all over the world so to judge them for, what you consider, to not be fluent in English is not good at all. To be honest, how would you know who is who actually.Not sure if it sounds mean but I find it frustrating when a non English speaker joins an rp. Sometimes the posts do not make sense because their grammar is off. So not only it's confusing to rp with them. But it's difficult to communicate with them ooc as well. I mean I get it, maybe their using roleplay as a way to get better at the language. But dealing with language barriers is so irritating.
you wanna know something interesting though? Some of the BEST 1x1 roleplays I've been in have been with a non-native English speaker. Two of them were Swedes, and I can't remember where the other one was from, but I wanna say it was Brazil? Either way, their English was pretty damn good. If anything, they avoided all the slang that typically gets used by native speakers.Not sure if it sounds mean but I find it frustrating when a non English speaker joins an rp.

Bi-erasure is a fucking struggle. As someone who is bi myselfThat mag be true, but the issue I'm talking about has nothing to do with Pansexual it has to do with people who insist that your characters are sticky gay or strictly straight depending on who they are dating or are interested in at that very moment and take issue when you even suggest that they are Bi and no straight or gay. Surprisingly no one has ever bugged me about my characters being Pan instead of Bi.
Truuue! People swear up and down that because my character is currently dating someone of the same gender as them that it means they've discovered their true sexuality "Uh, no they are still attracted to the opposite gender as well they just vibe more with this person right now who just so happens to be the same gender as them. There is a difference between love an attraction, people.Bi-erasure is a fucking struggle. As someone who is bi myselfand by myselfI often like to include bi sexuality in my characters. And the amount of people who seem to... forget they are bisexual based on who they are dating is just maddening.
Like yes she dates a woman and then a man. That does not mean her "gay period" was just a phase and she went on to be straight. No, she is still bi. And just because he once dated a woman and then went on to date a man doesn't mean he 'found himself' he just happens to like both. Like please people. Let the little bi gremlins I make exist without their sexuality being questioned.
And that, folks, is why I don't include sexualities in my CSes unless required by the GM. And even then, I tend to make it either ace or "<insert sexuality here> but currently not interested in romance" with the latter implying that I don't know how things are gonna be once the RP starts. Do you (everyone reading this) think it'll be confusing if I say that a character is "bi but currently not interested in romance"?This isn't just an issue I have in RP but it's been present. Bi-erasure. I am so sick of people not understanding the fact that my characters are bisexual, no she is not a lesbian just because she is currently dating a girl, no she is no heterosexual because she is currently interested in a boy, no he is not gay because he is currently in a relationship with a guy, they are still Bi, they do not need to be in a poly relationship with both genders at the same time to be Bi. Then you have people who will be up in arms if you even suggest that someone in a same-sex relationship is Bi and it's always the excuse of well people can discover their sexualities later in life, they may not have known they were homosexual before which okay fair that is an occurrence that happens bu why are you so hostile about the idea that they might be Bi, like the very idea is insulting and offensive?
Lol, that's not confusing, that's completely normal. Characters don't need to date or have a date. XD Like, I have a character in another RP who is bi, but he's a megalomaniac scientist and he is only interested in being the top dog. Yes, he can be attracted to both genders, but it's likely that he won't keep any PC alive lol. And romance is only a stepping stone to get where he wants to be XD at least he doesn't have to fake being attracted to someone if they are actually attractive in his eyes lol.Do you (everyone reading this) think it'll be confusing if I say that a character is "bi but currently not interested in romance"?

Not at all, you be attracted to a certain gender or genders and not be interested on romance. I was genuinely not interested in romance until I was 4 years in to being an adult.And that, folks, is why I don't include sexualities in my CSes unless required by the GM.

OK BUT SAME.Back on topic, y'all!
I think one of my pet peeves is when people don't share my kind of passion for storytelling. Which isn't anyone's fault, lol!
I find it difficult to find other people who will go as in depth as I do, or who want to talk about the latest progressions as incessantly as I do. To be fair this is an issue with more than just RP, hah.
I must reiterate.OK BUT SAME.
I just get so excited writing my stories alright I like to talk people's ears off about the shit that's going down.
Right... I actually had forgotten which topic this was. lolBack on topic, y'all!
Having my character have to literally follow the other character in order to respond to questions asked by said character. Like don't have your character ask important questions of my character, throw a tantrum, then move to other locations BEFORE my character has time to respond. Damn it!
Wow....some people make me so sick.I had someone do that once. My character literally had to break into their house to have a conversation because their player deliberately would go off and do their own thing.
I finally confronted them and they straight up said “oh yeah I like to see how long it takes my partners to say something.”
They then made a second character and did the same exact thing, after admitting it was just trolling.
I just blocked them and told every one of my roleplay friends to avoid them like the plague.
I also have had this problem. I have an entire world I have created that think would make a great RP setting but it never works, it's not even that people won't sign up they just don't seem to listen. Like I'll say there is a fair amount of lore and such that I have to tell you about so you can understand the gist of the setting and have the info necessary for you to make your character because I want you to know all your options and see what you'd be interested in, hell I'lleven accept your characters and world-building ideas that you've made with no prior knowledge and we can just tweak and adapt them to fit the setting they say it's fine but they always seem to be surprised Pikachu face when exactly what I warned them about beforehand is presented to them.Pet peeve... or well, just something that has persistently frustrated me for longer than I care to remember:
Pitching an idea across multiple venues, only to have it go ignored or otherwise just flounder around and get nowhere. And eventually just getting tired of trying for that idea, to the point where you are jaded to even go through with it anymore.
Like, I have an ever-growing list of OCs and settings that I have pushed so much with nothing to show for it, that I dont even want to bother. they are just CS's and Worldbuilds that will never come to fruition
