the person who decided it was unforgivably ooc for their character not to tag into every open post in the game (and i'm being literal - every post), posted on the network every other ic day to update/check on people, and volunteered their character for every plot they could find.
maybe that would work if they were a shut-in and rped all day every day, but they also had job that regularly took them away from the game for a week/weeks at a time. they dropped every thread within three to five comments. i've never seen anything like it.
Essentially they pulled the "sometimes killing IS the answer if it's for the greater good!" in a show once prided n the idea of non-violent resolutions to conflict.
Also Rose Quartz nw fully embraces the idealogy of the transphobic "down with hate" reverse bigotry crowd.
no, your friend is the entire problem. if she wants to drop old threads to make room for new ones, the onus is entirely on her to do so, not on other people to read her mind and drop her threads for her.
Reading this thread is a bit upsetting because I am definitely one of Those Flakes (I've taken frequent hiatuses, given week-old tags, etc.), and it's a problem I've been having for a long while. I really got a wake-up call a while ago with some crit and I've been doing my best to change my ways (I make tagging plurks and everything) but it really seems like an uphill battle as far as persuading everyone that I'm trying not to be the flake I was.
For a former flake, what should I do to show people I'm really trying to work on it besides just staying on top of tags? I'm worried I have driven too many people away and it's too late to change their minds.
it's like talking to a fucking kindergartner. where is the disconnect in a grown ass adult's brain that they could ever think other people are responsible for someone else's behavior or decisions?
unless the person in question is so mentally disabled that they literally can't be responsible, but if that were the case they would also be incapable of roleplaying decently at all.
people can still have phobias or upsetting reactions to extreme types of gore like that without having experienced it or knowing anyone who has. it's extreme enough and common enough in pop culture that it's courteous to give people the chance to avoid reading about it or having it sprung on them in a thread, bruh.
My character developed a raging one-sided crush on her best female friend but the truth was it just couldn't go anywhere in-game because of the characters/situation involved (the player and I PSL'd it in a musebox AU though).
Nobody ever noticed or cared besides our little CR group that I know of.
Probably helps that we're not wankers or neckbeards though.
