we don't have any new blood because dwrp has lost touch with fandom. ljrp had a constant supply of new blood when fandom was on lj, but there's shit here on dw. we could either foster more fandom activity on dw, or encourage tumblr users to come here. they're not that bad, and they adapt quickly. just like you adapted when you were new.
the shaking and crying and stuttering bullshit is just the new way to look "cute" online. i'm not that worried about it. but as a mod, what i do worry about is that now people use wankgate as a place to air their petty grievances anonymously instead of actually working to fix things. 90% of the complaints about my game that i see here are never brought to my attention. it makes my game look a lot wankier than it really is... and for what purpose? new games can get crushed by speculative wank before they even open. i've been rping for a long time and modding was never this hard before.
where are all of these raging sjws who attack players who make mistakes? i see more anti-sjws than anything else. when the sjws do get worked up, it's almost always because someone has made an intentionally inflammatory choice (like playing trans versions of characters who aren't canonically trans, or using a white pb for a nonwhite character). and that happens rarely.
flakiness is definitely hurting rp. i'm not going to deny that. i think that's more related to the rise of bakerstreet and other zero commitment memes than anything else.
nobody wants to stop wank. that's not going to happen. wank has always existed in rp, and it always will. sometimes, wank even serves a purpose. but i personally think it would be beneficial to slow down the transmission and repetition of wank. there's still plenty of room for rp discussion and whining on rpanons.
