literally the only thing that op said was that their character didn't want to fuck the other person's and, icly, made a joke about it

that's a thing that can happen if it's ic for a character to do so. sorry if the player is such a psycho that they take it personally if an icly crass and bitchy character is crass and bitchy to theirs lmfao. what's being an annoying asshole about writing a character as they're (presumably) meant to be played and then calling someone out for being obnoxious and overdefensive when they drag it into ooc interactions?

some characters do shit like that. if it bothers you so bad then consider trying a different hobby

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

the whole "you're an asshole if your character denies mine sex and calls them ugly or just not their type" is really fucking bothersome to me, as someone who was heavily harassed by someone ooc to force a ship i didn't want to do. please for the love of god grow up, it's all fiction, don't take it so personally.
