People who play from LOTR are always over invested crazy pants weirdos.

OCs. All of them.

every kingdom hearts character

Bakugou

Crocker, Kronk, Asura, Roy Mustang, Star Wars.

he's an annoying shitty character anyway

lots of dc and marvel characters, both comics versions and movie versions

every character is someone's oc, ergo, you hate every character

Nah

yeah

ITT: every character in DWRP

pours one out for the really good one i got to play with for a single shining moment in a game who had to drop rp for irl reasons. genuinely one of the nicest people i've rped with

They're both fictional characters, sure. But playing a character with a canon to go by vs a character that's a stitched together abomination of an uncreative player is totally the same.

yeah but i'm not playing with those creators. i'm playing with a third party's interpretation of a creator's character. it's a crucial step removed from playing with someone who can just dump all their traumas, hangups and personal fantasies into a character with 0 checks on what is IC or not

please help anons, i'm asking here not to start wank but because i feel like this is where you go to get unfiltered and honest advice.

i have a friend who plays characters i'd love to rp against, but lately they're obsessed with turning characters trans. they rewrite them in order to just make them trans. i am extremely uncomfortable with this and i don't want to play with trans-hc characters, but i don't know how to articulate this without being accused of transphobia. like, it's my friend and i assume they won't be so aggressive about it, but i expect them to want a reasoning for me to want to play with... the canon cis version instead. i really don't know how to approach this in the nicest way possible. any advice is appreciated

tell them you dont want to play those characters with them and then find someone else without weird hcs to rp them with?

Both Travelers from Genshin Impact

+1 you don't gotta explain yourself anon, and less is more in this case. just say you're not interested, nothing more, and move on to someone else.

there's no way for people with weird trans-hcs to not get offended about them and screech transphobia when people don't like them. otherwise they'd be fine playing them as cis/canon.

can just dump all their traumas, hangups and personal fantasies into a character people do this regardless if there's canon "checks" on them nonny. it's not the golden gate you think it is

i'm genuinely curious here since the only one i've seen is played by a really chill person, so i'm wondering if there was another one back when identity v was hot for a second.

honestly unless you're writing smut/some random scenario where people are running around with their junk out, you can always just ask not to incorporate it into threads bc you're not interested/comfortable with including those elements into rp. any further reading into it is on them.

i've never seen anyone with a trans hc not make it the point of the character though. i've seen actual trans characters who don't even bring it up or rarely do, but if it's hc it's there because they want to make a thing of it.

They HAVE to make it a point that the character is trans and often in a weird transphobic way too. Like mentioning a trans girls "masculine" features or emphasizing a trans boys wide hips and shit like that. And then the character opens their mouth and spews the muns weird soap box beliefs just to round it out
