How the fuck is the small tag counted as "pretty formatting"?? Are you actually talking about sparkly tiny font or standard action tags? If it's the latter then what are you doing playing outside of prose-only games?
No, I'm talking about when people color the text different colors in bracket format, because they're posting for multiple characters in one post or tag. Because apparently doing something like
Character 1: [does stuff] Insert eloquent speech here.
Character 2: Reply to Character 1! [more actions]
just isn't straightforward enough. One character's speech is in navy blue, another's is red, and a third one's is purple, or green, or who knows what other color they associate with the character.
Yes, people actually do that crap. Constantly. Mostly in the main post, if they're posting for more than one character, but they still do it and it drives me nuts, especially when the comm/journal's formatting makes that shit unreadable.
Yeah yeah forgot to say, smalltext in brackets is what I meant too. "Standard" smalltext in goddamn brackets. I don't need a screen reader the rest of the time, don't think I have one installed because I've never had a reason to use one, and am sure as hell not going to install it just for RP. Listening to those fake voices is like nails on a chalkboard. Listening to them for hours would piss me off worse than dealing with stupid formatting.
Besides, if the roomie overheard porn tags? Shiiiiiiit. :( PASS! I'm not putting on headphones to RP, TYVM.
