pretty sure that craus are one of those rp things where if you run into the comparatively fewer number of bad apples it can sour the bunch for you. like plenty of people are wary of, say, guys playing f/f. sure, there are guys playing f/f who aren't total creeps and there are crau players who are normal and respectful, but if you meet the other bunch enough times you get bitter about it.

same thing goes for wols and pretty much any rp situation. experiences differ and of course if you keep finding the bad ones you get wary. i think it's good to acknowledge the bad experiences do exist instead of saying they don't, but similarly it's good to acknowledge the good.

it's fucking stupid to pretend the bad doesn't exist or the good doesn't exist, though. wankgate exists because rp always has had and always will have those players who make the hobby a bad experience for others from time to time - but similarly we all stay in the hobby because there are net positives.
