People who format everything to be in the middle
Oh my god, I know that feeling.
People who do that are the worst.

People who format everything to be in the middle
PffftOh my god, I know that feeling.
People who do that are the worst.
I think one of the things that has annoyed me the most in the past, and something I want to still say sometimes in regard to roleplaying experiences is this:
I understand if you are on a certain standard for your writing. I understand if you like to detail EVERY little part of your OC. I know I'm not the best writer, but don't insult my OC just because I don't make her personality match exactly what her astrology sign should be! And don't insult my character just because she's justifiably depressed! It's not edgy if written correctly and respectfully, it's also not edgy if you've DONE YOUR RESEARCH
Been there. DA has gotten bad about people trying this. Usually using family issues, mental illness and such to try and make you feel bad about not wanting to do you things you don't enjoy, or are flat out triggering for you. And they come at you like you are old pals betraying them when they literally only talked long enough to be told no. "I really wanted to do this for a long time and no one else wants to do it. It's really making me feel like I'll never get a rp I like." "I'm at home all day because of my problems, I need a distraction." "It won't kill you to do something different." "People like you are why the rest of us can't have fun" "It's selfish to only do what you want to do."When people try to guilt trip you into roleplaying with them even after you've politely rejected the idea.
Okay, so, I don't believe in Astrology or horoscopes or any of those things but I do know how it works.Wait aren’t astrology signs based on date of birth? It sounds to me like that person didn’t understand how astrology works if they were pissy about personality. They have literally nothing to do with that. It’s not like a Hogwarts house which you get to pick. It’s “your born on this day in this year, here’s your sign”.

The big one was someone I actually did talk to for a long time. And got weird after we roleplayed awhile it ended because she wanted to go a direction I didn't. A direction that I could honestly say she should have known I would not do. And I explained to her no. And even offered an alternative meeting in the middle. It got kind of hostile and the RP just ended all together.
Then later I got a ranty message about how "I" didn't beg and plead to keep the RP going . . . . Yeah, really kind of went from don't want to RP this to don't want to talk to them at all.
Valid anger, but uh...When you have to sit on the sidelines and listen to your mom and sister get into a mild argument about trans folks knowing that your mom is partially (if not very) transphobic and usususyushfhehensnnamamakkx
idk if Th is is anger or just gottam frustration but yeah I’m a big salt today
whoop, i completely and utterly missed thatValid anger, but uh...
This thread’s about salt specifically directed towards roleplaying. Not sure if you misread “rp” as “rl”, flatout didn’t see the bit about it being about rp, didn’t know rp was a shortening of roleplaying, simply was just so mad about this you didn’t care where it was vented, or something else entirely. Regardless, your reply is a liiiitttlleee off topic (unless you left out some context and this is completely rp related.). No hate, just letting you know.
sorry about spelling errors it is early and I am tired
whoop, i completely and utterly missed that
on a more rp related note, i had to leave an rp for like, the third time because people were trying to justify op characters by saying "its not real anyways, why would you care?" (thankfully i could just leave that community- it was on a text-based site)
They say that and then they have their character do everything before everyone else and fight other characters attempting to get a chance to shine.whoop, i completely and utterly missed that

the main thing that really grinds my gears is people seeking their partner to be a specific gender??
unless it is for safety reasons (I.e “I only prefer to write with irl women Or nb folx because I’ve had negative personal experiences with men”)
I guess it’s mostly younger folk but like “I only rp with males irl” is both idiotic and limiting
what even is the reason for that? I can say from experience that someone’s irl sex or gender has literally 0 connection with how well they then write a character of that sex or gender
it’s just weird stop it
It always weirds me out when the reason is “My significant other only wants me to roleplay with X gender”.
Like your significant other sounds hella controlling if you can’t write made up stories with people based on their gender.
Omg one time I started a roleplay (it was medieval fantasy, we were ONE POST IN) and then they went “my wife won’t let me roleplay anymore” and DELETED THE THREAD
bro wHAT DELETE YOUR RELATIONSHIP that’s so toxic
(At thé same time, idk their life, maybe they had talked about it because this person was roleplaying too much over talking to her or something and he continued to do it— but regardless, something hella sus was going on there and left a terrible taste in my mouth)
Yeah, been there. Can be pretty annoying because sometimes you just want to read what you wrote in the past. Reason I hate SKYPE so much. It auto deleted a bunch of old roleplays because it couldn't hold a setting right.also deleting the thread is rude as hell. Like maybe I wanted to use the lore again or use the post as a sample.
like we can not roleplay without you deleting my work. At least ask if I want to save anything first.
