I only play female characters across all mediums and struggle to get CR and tags. meanwhile some of the worst writers in the game who play male characters get tags with their one line responses and "come bother me as I stand here" openers.
and this is largely why I quit roleplaying.

yep. i play mostly male characters and have a pretty easy time getting tags.
then i picked up a female character and it's been like pulling teeth.

better job: kill your clients and take the cash
I don't even know where to begin trying to explain the absolute trainwreck once upon a time has always been. I don't know why I stuck around for so long. I had so much hope rumbelle would be the ship that didn't start and end in blatant abuse but....well.
motherfucking ANITA BLAKE VAMPIRE HUNTER.
not even because anita becomes a magical nympho who racks up a dozen boyfriends in the course of a week and then bangs ten strangers on the side for funsies. that's... something, but hey, whatever. but because she does all that and becomes fucking insufferable with how ~conflicted~ she is, how can she love more than one person, she's supposed to be a good catholic girl who doesn't have sex with six guys in a day, and then ends up treating all her boyfriends like shit (and being a homophobic asshole in the process). anita is like the fucking definition of the dude who has sex with a gal and then loses all respect for her and talks shit about what a nasty slut she is, or the shithead who's having a bad day so they have to spread it around and make everyone else deal with their anger.
also, LKH can't decide what anita's powers are so she literally gives her new ones and takes away old ones between chapters for plot and drama purposes. there's no consistency, and nothing ever makes any dang sense. also there's one asshole ex boyfriend that LKH is mega invested in dragging back in again and again to emphasize how FULL OF HATE he is, and how shitty he's acting, and it's just-- argh, fucking move on already.
the worst part is that i actually really enjoy the world, her dozen boyfriends (they're all pretty great, except one), and LKH's writing. it's fun, it's punchy, and it hits all my kinks, but i just can't ignore the massive sucking hole that's anita's lack of character and the incoherent plots anymore, so i stopped after obsidian butterfly/narcissus in chains. (i actually read pretty far after that, but i just pretend those books don't exist....)

tbh i don't think anime players are more insular than la players, so i don't have a problem with them there. i agree with you on the tropes, though. adult anime characters tend to be better about it, but again, teen dominated casts.
good luck if you're modding a game he's in. he bitches nonstop about everything both on anon and off.
was wondering the same thing.
if it's the former, sad trombone. i smell a bitter betty.

Riddle me this, WG, why are all Zatanna rpers fucking batshit stalkers?
i loved s1 and tried very hard to enjoy s2, but i just couldn't
dude. considering they took out a lot of functionality that was present even in base game 2 and in some cases went all the way back to shit you saw in 1? it's a legit complaint. 4 was a lazy, bug riddled money grab. anybody who doesn't see that is sucking ea's chub a little too hard.
see the unibomber, pandabomber, and every other anti-government wacko. so just give her time and she might think she's truly jesus christ.
'that icky barking uterus' ugh i can't stop cringing
Sorry, I meant more insular as in...like, la casts don't seem to have as many "things about them you will only understand if you obsessively watch the series" like a lot of teen anime does? If I tag an adult anime or a la, generally what I see is what I get. But it always feels like I'm missing some inside joke or plot or something that teen players are waiting for me to reveal as knowing?
I'm not making any sense, I'm sorry.

wheel of time.
i want to say book 4 or 5, wherever it became blatantly obvious nothing of any note of interest was going to happen for 6 or 7 books just so he could reach the magic number he had decided to end the series on. so much bloat. misogyny. and male characters who were nothing but drooling idiots, even the ones who started out better. for something that started entertainingly enough, it went downhill fast. i'm surprised i made it as far as i did.

also a valid question
and why is every superman rper I've met either a ball of overloaded anxiety or a total jackass?

nah we are. the Oreo mentioned is a crybaby little bitch who bullies and sucks up to popular players.
you didn't miss anything. the ending was so fucking anticlimactic. after fourteen books where you got to know these characters fairly intimately, you kind of expect to have an emotionally satisfying conclusion when the big battle is done, right?
nope. sorry.
battle happens, lasts pretty much the whole book, and then at the end there's a brief conclusion where almost nobody in the core group of friends speaks to each other despite growing up together, and the hero fakes his death and walks away without interacting with much of anyone, not even the two soon-to-be mothers of his children.
oh, and the one character that started getting more interesting rather than less over the course of the series? his wife tells him she's pregnant, he makes a joke about dice, the end. never comes up again. none of the other characters seem to give a single shit that they haven't seen him.
in short, the books leave you with the worst case of emotional blue balls you'll ever have. no real goodbyes, no real "we did it!" moment, barely more than a couple paragraphs of grief, which rang false because the character that the dude is grieving for isn't actually dead, and that's it. 14-book epic over, leaving you going "that's it?"

The latter, I fucked up. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a group chatting but it's the person who makes these plurks just adding onto their own constantly. It's so annoying I end up muting any plurks of theirs that have the game tag in it.
There's being excited and then there's posting 3 times everyday about what's happening in their threads.
But hey maybe I am just a bitter asshole.
