ayrt and i keep mine exclusively to psls or tagging in to friends on memes. there are a bunch of us out there, we just tend to sort of stay in the shadows since the creepy/pushy ones give everyone else a bad name. i don't tag npcs i don't know because of that.

believe me, i'd love to chase away the garbage ones.

What happened with her other than glorifying drunk or high posting?

this is why i roll my eyes whenever i see people claiming that apps are too hard/take too much time. i can write an app for just about any character that would get me into pretty much any game in under an hour.

ayrt

Lmao it's a bit expanded as a meme reaction than using it as a make fun of autistic people on 4chan these days anon. But ok I'll fix it

no AHHHHHHHHHH ayrt can't post to a meme with gross misogyny tropes AUUYGHHHHH!!! it has to be unshippy!!! no shippy memes AHGGHHHHHHHH!!!

can one of you stupid assholes just rail my character already. they need it badly.

warcraft characters. at this point, i won't interact with them or anyone who plays them.

Deets?

My guy might anon what's your char like

deets on the conspiracy theories? i knew they were a rightwing asshole but that part's new to me

sorry, but the problem with wols isn't that they want to ship with npcs. it's that a lot of them have a self-centered "what about me" attitude towards cr with npcs and can get obsessive about it. while the most infamous horror stories are about pushy wol/npc shippers, this unfortunately also comes up with gen cr, too. i'm not going to make assumptions about what you're like because there are decent wol rpers out there, but if you have trouble getting cr with npcs despite being upfront and open about not wanting to ship with them, that might be why.

while i have issues with wol ocs, assumed cr only really happens in memes ime. in the games i've played in, "sry i don't remember you :(" seems like the default reaction to wols, especially if multiples are allowed.

Imagining being an NPC in a game that allows MULTIPLE WoLs sounds like hell on earth jfc

honestly? this is just my experience, but how bad an npc player's experience with wol rpers is depends highly on how much special attention their character gives the wol in canon. aymeric and haurchefant are expected to drop everything and be the wol's perfect elf boyfriend without the wol player considering ways to explore their personal demons or motivations outside of them. who cares if aymeric was tortured by his father or that haurchefant has a terrifyingly violent side to him, they need to cuddle the wol right now! g'raha isn't allowed to to do anything more interesting than gush over the wol, like adventuring with them like he's always dreamed of and seeing what the world has to offer. after all, that might require the wol player to actually be creative. on the villainfucker side, zenos and emet also suffer, and whether they're expected to ravish the wol or be domesticated by them depends entirely on whether or not the wol player has a noncon kink. this is all because these different npc/wol dynamics attract pushy assholes who think they can get away with anything and the npc player has to just take it because their character is supposed to adore their self-insert.

meanwhile, i used to play a couple other npcs alongside one of the wol boyfriends listed above, and my experience rping them was much more pleasant. sure, i had to deal with a one or two weirdos here and there, but just the fact that these characters weren't flanderized by fandom to have their lips surgically attached to the wol's ass cheek filtered out the worst of the worst. but that's just my experience, ymmv and all that.

WELL MAYBE WE FUCKING SHOULD HAVE?????? NUKED HITLER???????

in vino, veritas. drunkplurking finally showed the rest of the world what an asshole mat was.

I have like half your list. LOL.

I'd peg him, but I'm just a pleb that plays on bkrst

I play one of the "boyfriend" npcs and it fucking sucks bc of everything you just said. I makes me feel like I'm some oc players cumrag every time they tag me and I don't feel like doing exactly what they want. Ofc I drop those tags, but it happens every time and it's "bad faith" to not tag castmates in games so I don't feel like I can opt out of them.

Playing other NPCs is a little better but I've definitely had weirdo WoLs act this way with my girls too and it also sucks.

It's literally not. You can opt out of any castmate you like, especially WoLs. Nobody will bat an eye who isn't the WoL player, I promise you.

coming back to this thread to say that i just want to frame this comment and put it on top. succinctly covers why this could be sympathetic AND why it's leaving a bad taste in some peoples' mouths in two sentences.

I never seen a mute oc before? I don’t think I’ve seen a mute character period.

That's a bit disingenuous I think. Plenty of people will absolutely judge someone for opting out of tagging a castmate in game settings, especially if the castmate you opt out of has friends to cry to.

But it's something that people can and should do more often. It's better to not tag someone than it is to force yourself to have CR you don't want or enjoy.

Most moderators will not consider your opting out of CR as a rule breaking offense and the worst your castmates can do is bitch about it to other people, but that can happen with almost anything in DWRP. It's just a matter of learning that sometimes it doesn't matter if other people mind or are upset when you don't want to interact with them.

Please learn how penises work if you’re going to write smut with men involved.

+1 of course you can opt out of cr with whatever castmates you don't want to play with, but you can't pretend that it won't have consequences for you. however, sometimes the consequences aren't as bad as you fear, and it's worth it to take a risk for the sake of your own enjoyment.

instructions unclear i had my dude penetrate his partner's cervix

There's a Chell from Portal who's around occasionally, but she's tolerable.
