anon you can argue till the cows come home but rp is a collaborative effort where not everyone is here to be your character's happy pump so you can do whatever you want consequence free and some people actually endeavor to create an enjoyable rp experience for both parties.

so yeah you want to play the bitchy and crass character? don't cry when it gets old and people are tired of your shit cause you don't know when to rein it in because "well ackshually that's just what my character would do." some people don't like characters that do stuff like that. if it bothers you so much try finding a different hobby that's all about your needs and not about the collaborative experience.

if you don't want a thread to go in the direction of your character being picked on then the option is right there to say as much to the person you're threading with instead of being pissy in ooc communication because your partner isn't a mind reader and doesn't know that a character's comments are going to rub you the wrong way

people who play bitchy and crass characters shouldn't have to second guess whether every minor interaction is going to be the nail in the coffin for their thread partner's ooc tolerance and in the event that it is an issue instead of being a baby about it, just say 'hey, i get this kind of thing pretty often and i'd really prefer if we could take this in a different direction, do you mind editing your reply or if we derail into something else?'

it would be a different matter if this specific character was always being a contrary jackass but as far as we know this was a one off comment made icly that for whatever reason was taken out of ic boundaries. op isn't at fault for playing their character and crossing some impossible to foresee boundary

lmao talking about communication while whining on wankgate about someone's reaction

we're all on wankgate janet

this is wankgate speak for "you have a point but I'm not going to admit it"

Mmmm yes yes, argue, my minions. It fuels me so.

so glad we can have the arranged marriage meme twice a week now that there are 50 versions of it

Just post the meme you want to play on just do it anon nothing is stopping you from also posting ten memes a week

your joke not being funny doesnt mean the ic/ooc divide is dead

the person making it deep here is the op coming to wankgate to complain about something they could have just ignored and scrolled past

i would but i just posted it last week and i'm not like other meme posters

da

I hate those type of flat characters the most. Sometimes when you want a kink so bad you play the same type of character over and over, it's better to go to flist or just write fanfiction.

plot twist: the character op is threading with is That Weevil and you're all defending their right to be mad op won't fuck their bug boy

WHY DONT YOU WANT CR WITH ME
WE'VE NEVER TALKED
WHAT DID I DOOOOOOOOOO

ill get over it but jfc

from my (brief, unfortunate) experience with them they don't get mad, they're just a whiny oversharer. no idea why people tag them tbh.

I did that to someone once. It was because they had tight CR with someone I hate and I didn't want to risk being pushed into a situation where I would either have to interact with the person or have to explain to the uninvolved mutual why I didn't want to thread with the person I didn't want to thread with. Easier to just sidestep the entire situation.

because i'm already tagging 9 of the other interchangeable "spunky anime protags" and tbh i'm tired

play someone interesting pls

but when i posted it last time my FAVORITE character didn't toplevel for me? i thought maybe if i posted it more often someone who plays my favorite character would toplevel and start a 200 comment psl with me, is that so wrong? what else am i supposed to do anon, there's nowhere i can write ads or ask for psls!! i simply have no other choice but to repost the exact scenario i want and hope different characters tag it!!

Learned helplessness is a helluva drug.

this but unironically tbh

nobody answers my rpanons ads

Or you could communicate with
w-o-r-d-s

Theres enough hate in the world anon maybe try to resolve your hate

For all anons harp on "curate your experience" and "just don't interact with them," anons get really chuffed at the idea that someone might not be interacted with.

pretty much everyone has to deal with a shitty mutuals situation at some point, but turning someone away you'd otherwise want to thread with because there's a chance you'd have to interact with one of their friends is indeed dumb and indicative of an inability to communicate

because you've turned one of my favorite villains into a whiny child who just wants to cuddle and be forgiven for no reason and i'm mad

yes you, i'm positive it's you
