that wasn't what was being argued in this thread though

like, what you're replying to was in direct response to "i've never understood why ppl think it's SO MUCH BETTER than bbc sherlock"

sherlock had a really goddamn racist episode, elementary cast lucy liu as watson and isn't making the character a walking stereotype; sherlock has multiple "oh my gosh someone thinks we're a COUPLE!" scenes and that weird thing they did with irene adler, elementary actually managed to introduce a major trans* character and didn't make any jokes or make her a stereotype or a villain

like, i realize elementary isn't the best thing on tv, but it's definitely better than bbc sherlock, if only because bbc sherlock sets a really low bar

i think it's mostly what you/op mentioned

people don't wanna talk about hair in their porn. it's probably there but saying 'HIS ASS WAS SO HAIRY' is kinda on the level of talking about shit and farts for most people

and sometimes it's about rape culture and accepting non-neurotypical people

why can't it be both anon?

I hate that we're supposed to bend over backwards for shitty foreigners. Find rps in your own language and GTFO. We don't want ESL morons in our games.

wait, your idea of not doing something is actually making things to sell and donate the money to charity?

I sorta had some sympathy till this point, because arm chair activism, like people replurking a white house petition and thinking they solved everything, annoys the hell out of me. but that's pretty solidly "doing something" even if it's a small something.

I'm assuming you must be involved in some pretty intense activism yourself to be this frustrated, and while I understand how annoying it can be to see people only making small moves when you know what CAN be done, that's still a very counter productive attitude.

Yes, the majority of every group in existence just sits on its ass.

Music was a huge part of hippie culture, but it wasn't just drugs and sex and doing nothing. There were protesters, counterculture activists, the antiwar movement, strong support of the Civil Rights movement, the Peoples' Park, the peace rally against invading Cambodia that led to the National Guard murdering college kids.

There's a legitimate legacy there, and people that took part in those events often faced much higher risks than activists do today.

I was thinking mostly about "Even in novels, characters can have long conversations with only occasional references to their actions." In a novel scene, writers don't have to do that because they don't swap character perspectives each time a new character speaks.

Meanwhile in RP, where the perspective does switch every tag, just putting in the conversation part seems too short to a lot of players (especially in prose) and so they cram in lots of actions or thoughts because they feel like they have to make it longer or more interesting somehow.

Personally, what makes me uncomfortable is that casual sexism against women is totally OK, but the moment you JOKE about teensy stuff affecting men it's suddenly a horrible bad bad issue HOW DARE UUU.

SJW nonsense doesn't get dumber than this.

He does link videos and examples of how he's able to do this in the plotting post- but that's at full power isn't it? How's he explaining this sudden lack of a power cap for one character in particular? Would this be allowed if it was another player? That is what I am wondering.

Wow. You sound completely sheltered and ignorant.

I like the word 'hippies' for all whiners like that. Mostly because when you say it you can put a lot of hate behind it.

Do you know why that is? Think about this really, really hard. If you do, you might actually understand how idiotic you sound.

'From what you understand' we can understand that you actually don't know what you're talking about. You're just parotting what you heard on Fox News without any thought of your own.

I could be wrong.

Yes, you are. You managed to be worse than the people you were crying about. Good work, that took some effort.

i am. so peeved by this instance with my rp partner. we're doing this one au, and it's kind of just cute and fluffy, and i have no issue with it, but then she tells me she's losing interest because it's cute and fluffy. "why can't they just kick butt and have action and stuff and not relationship drama?" okay, that's totally fair and i agree! i would love to do something with real action and violence and awesome shit that's not just relationship stuff.

so i suggest multiple different options that involve a lot of action, that involve the characters stopping bad guys, saving the world, etc.

she doesn't like any of these.

her suggestion instead?

a college au.

and all of it centers around the ships.

AND THAT'S FINE TOO I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT. mostly what i'm annoyed with is that her complaints about our rp being too fluffy and cute, but when i try to fix it, she refuses to even attempt plotting out something she specifically said she wanted, and instead suggests an alternative that's EXACTLY WHAT SHE COMPLAINED ABOUT.

it's frustrating. and inb4 no1curr, i just needed to get this off my chest because UGH. annoying.
