o yeah sorry you and anon above you are right i thought i was replying to something else my bad

OP

yeah that's how it went. that's rude.

but ia about being upfront about shipping prefs. i get ship pushing sucks, i've been on the opposite side of it too. just do your disclosures when appropriate, or else you're going to come across like a hypersensitive asshole. put them in your permissions in your journal. i read all those before i even broach any cr offer.

someone who comes out swinging with a big old SORRY HES GAY--now i don't want any cr with someone like that, because i have to assume they're going to be hypersensitive to anything they don't want or don't like.

Sucks that happened to you but I can definitely understand people being put off by it if they're not looking to make it shippy

Ya this I completely agree with, especially if they came out right off the bat like that. I'm sorry that happened anon :( I've definitely been ship-pushed on (for either same sex or opposite sex pairs) and it always sucks but to not just talk for a while then lay on the table that shipping won't happen between the two is weird behavior.

gotta be the cast where one of them just constantly shit on the canon point I took my character from every chance they got. sometimes the others would join in. I never spoke up about it, I just dropped once I got tired of it.

same

not to defend ayrt because they're being a twat, but shinigami are brought up on the premise page in the description of the department of the enma.

which, like. makes sense, since shinigami, traditionally, work for the enma.

It was a popular canon at the time. One of those canons that got shit on a lot in anon comms for taking over games and being cliquey. The cast in my game was especially wanked on. It was never personal. It was all generic comments about the cast being big and cliquey. I didn’t care because I don’t think anyone in my game had a problem with me personally.

My cast was always shaking and crying about how no one liked them because they were the popular canon to hate. They made vague and paranoid plurks all the time about how the game was conspiring against them. They ate up everything anons said and kept giving anons fuel so the cast kept getting more hate. They became insufferable.

I was in the cast and I could never get a thread to last more than a few comments with them. I got tired of them flaking on me when I was trying to develope arcs for my character and stopped tagging most of the cast. I stuck around because I like the canon and my character but it was an overall frustrating experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

see that's the thing though, these people were totally fine and normal at first but then once we'd established platonic cr they started getting pushy about wanting to make it shippy so now i'm just wary in general. they clearly thought they would be able to change my mind once our characters were friends so i would rather be clear up front that it's not going to happen.

its 2022 how are ppl still obsessed with detroit become human to the point they're making aus with mcu (talk about the double the bland)

Yeah I don't understand it either. No one tags them but I still wonder.

i'd argue the game wasn't bland, just flat out bad

like in an entertaining sort of way, but ime anyone who plays from it takes it 100% seriously and is therefore 100% insufferable because they refuse to acknowledge the cage-shaped elephant in the room: that this man fucking sucks at making video games, always has and always will

I can never take dbh muses seriously but for a wholly personal reason.

When I watched my brothers gf play it I was on acid. So it's forever the game I experienced while on acid. There's just no way for me to come back from that.

It's called Like a Dragon you pleb.

real ones know its ryu ga gotoku, scrub

i only discovered this game last year. i really enjoy playing some of the characters from it. that said, i'm not `obsessed` with it; i have plenty of muses from other canons too. it's up there on my list of favorites but i absolutely understand why someone would not enjoy this game and i'm aware of how fucking problematic it is.

at the risk of outing myself, i'll admit i'm in a discord with the weird dbh/mcu aus. our server was pretty damn quiet until they showed up and it's mostly just one person with a really weird headcanon about tony stark having a rivalry with cyberlife or something and having a bunch of robot children. i find it bland as fuck but they seem to be having fun and some of the other dbh players are having fun with them. the entire discord's been derailed into talk about this au on the daily.

it's not my bag of chips, but nobody's forcing me to eat them so that's fine. my only `real beef` is that one using icons from the umbrella academy. it tastes like tumblr all around in the discord lately and one other player and i retreated to a different discord server.

at the risk of outing myself, i ran across them on a meme and noped right out of the thread when they opted to take something my character said in response to them in a totally misconstrued fashion and after i read up on their info available, it just pinged too hard as the players i had a really bad run in with on lj back in the old random game/memebells days. or maybe that group that initially took over sws/smuttysws and basically attacked anyone 'icly' with very ooc sjw topic crap until people just avoided the barking pool of crazy.

maybe they're not like that, but i'm on a meme and can play whatever i want with no game obligations, so i don't have time to tip toe through a potential minefield with a character i'm not invested in.

ayrt

i've only interacted with them oocly and even then just barely, they're extremely chatty on discord and i usually just pop in to click `mark everything as read` and see if anyone else has said anything interesting. i agree that they reek of sjw and especially when i got to the point where they state `this character cannot and will not be sexually shipped.` like, i get that smut/ship might not be your thing and that's cool or whatever but it's a huge red flag for me when i've had so many people that are ooc ace and have ic/ooc divide bleed with their original characters.

they seem really displaced, as if they're from tumblr, but at the same time seem like they've been around the dwrp scene for quite some time - and maybe even dating back to the lj days. i can't decide if they're a transient or if they've been around the block and just aren't your average mcu trash.

i feel like we've both dodged a bullet with this one.

i don't know how to feel about the mod rping using the mod account and tagging half the people on tdm #1...

like veggie tales shit?

other poor people who decide to have pets they can't afford
