oh grow up or go back to twitter. it's fiction and games don't last the years it'd take for that to be ~acceptable~ or ~normal~

if someone ship pushed a relationship in a game it would be called out or reported to the mods, but nobody blinks when a kid character starts to talk about someone else being their "dad" or their "mom".

some people are uncomfortable with that anon, for good reasons and reactions like this are why players in this community keep getting away with it.

if it's your character, ask them to stop. if it isn't your character, is it really any of your business?

when it happened to me, I asked them to stop and they ignored me and kept pushing for it and referring to the relationship like that in plurks/OOC. I ended up just dropping the CR and ultimately the game.

poor you? you could have taken it to the mods.

since it was one of the mods characters doing it I don't think they would have taken it seriously...

Then you have more problems than a character pushing for mom/dad cr that's like three problems at once it's not the best judge/example of the specific thing anons are talking about

so many wg complaints are like this. someone posts "it's bad when characters like pancakes" and if you ask for more information a few times it eventually turns into "one time i was threading on the denny's meme and the other player broke into my house and shot me"

I had someone do exactly this thing to me too, even when I told them my character had a living mom back home and wouldn’t call anyone else mom because that’s weird, and also they barely knew each other. It’s just as ship pushy as any romantic relationship.

That said I still don’t hate the team mom/dad trope. Just ship pushers. It can be done right and be a lot of fun.

(“Why didn’t you go to the mods?” I was the mod and especially at the time punishing someone for bothering me specifically would have gone over like a lead balloon in dwrp.)
