Because this isn't the exchange I saw. She was creeping in someone else's plurk trying to figure out the mod's identities and not just asking if they were anon.
You don't want to play with us. My sister wanted to come over from tumblr and as I was thinking about all the things she should know, I eventually just went: you know what, we're not actually a nice community and you don't want to play here.
If you decide to anyway, try to remember it's for fun and not to take it personally if people shit all over you. There are a lot of self-important, anxiety-riddled, miserable people in this group of roleplayers who will take that shit out on you if you give them half the chance.
You yourself should also not take any of your weird problems out on others. Try to be positive and friendly, think about other people before you do shit, and when in doubt shoot people a message and ask what works for them.
look, i'll admit there are a lot of assholes in this community. that's not debatable, it's a fact. but not every rper is like that and you shouldn't group us all together under the same umbrella of "you don't want to play with us". speak for yourself, not the rest of us.
in my experience, the hardest part is honestly just finding other people that aren't assholes. when you do, the hobby is fun af. you just have to look through the muck to find them.
ᴄᴀꜱᴛɪɢʟɪᴏɴᴇ I will keep touching you on all the memes SPY ᴄᴀꜱᴛɪɢʟɪᴏɴᴇ: DO IT. since every time we try and get into a game, IT SHUTS ITSELF DOWN. but i might be game shopping a bit too. ᴄᴀꜱᴛɪɢʟɪᴏɴᴇ LMAO yeah I think I'm done...looking for games... ᴄᴀꜱᴛɪɢʟɪᴏɴᴇ Apparently we are planet destroyers SPY ᴄᴀꜱᴛɪɢʟɪᴏɴᴇ: LMAO. if i try, it's gonna be an established game but knowing my luck, it'll just go into end game a month later. ᴄᴀꜱᴛɪɢʟɪᴏɴᴇ That's what happened to me with el nysa lmao SPY ᴄᴀꜱᴛɪɢʟɪᴏɴᴇ: lmfao WHOOPS. eyes all my current games.

ime from over 12 years of rping on lj/dw, the assholes are in the minority. most of the people in this hobby are perfectly decent. they might not be the kind of people you wanna be best buddies with, but if all you're doing is mashing internet barbies together, they're fine to interact with. i can count on one hand the number of genuine bad experiences i've had with other rpers in all of those years here. (and i'm talking "wow this person is a shitty human being," not just "they wouldn't ship with me" or "they dropped all our threads after three comments" stuff)
i hate it when other rpers don't use icon keywords in any kind of a coherent way. idg why you'd leave keywords blank (whyyyyyyy? how do you remember which icon looks like what without at least something to tell you what the mood is without browsing them?) or why you'd just use numbers (seriously, how do you know what they mean at a glance????)
it's so stupid and petty and yet it drives me crazy
what about the other half? the ones that got into rp when they were already over 20? what about the people that never did that and don't want to be party to it from either side? or are you implying those people don't exist and we all lied about our ages so it's okay for people to lie to us?
