actual jamie behavior

Oh yeah, I know who that is. She's a nice person, it's not surprising to see her try to be gentle while giving crit.

It's good that it's still a thing, anon. If gen players have a gen space for their gen memes, it means less bitching about bakerstreet and how it's all shipping memes.

I think you won't have to worry about those specific things in DWRP. Trans interpretations of characters who are not explicitly trans in canon do get some grumbling (unless it's a game that allows AUs and you specifically say it's an AU), but a trans OC wouldn't be a problem. The other two definitely wouldn't be an issue here either, anyone who tried to complain about a black doctor or 'but this character is a nazi in another timeline' would be laughed at and told to shut up.

Not all games require an HMD, and you definitely don't need to have one if you're just playing in museboxes or memes. The anon stuff is going to happen, but you can look away from rpanons and wankgate if you want to. There's settings in the journals to turn off anon commenting on your personal journal if you want. And tbh unless you do something REALLY stupid or crazy (you can look at past WG posts to see examples) then you'll probably go undetected by anons anyway. It's hard to tell exactly how many people we have in DWRP, but it's at least a couple thousand (if not more). Given that the same 50 or so names are the ones that keep getting thrown around, that means that 99% of players fly under the radar of wankgate.

this has been the refrain going through my head ever since jgkc's house of cards folded in on itself. 'gsai can't be this delusional, right? why are they doing (insert ridiculous example here)? what do they think they're doing?'

the answer is they're either totally delusional, or so thoroughly stupid they think they're a genius. they really seriously thought they were flying under the radar as the jgkc head mod. they really seriously thought that even if they were identified, anonmodding was an unbeatable alibi. even though they were so so so obvious, to the point that i had no idea who gonsai was when i joined jgkc but guessed they were a mod almost immediately, just based on them being an insufferable know-it-all about game lore in the discord and pretending to "guess" "correctly" at enigmatic statements made by npcs. (also can i just say, LMAO @ someone so desperate to look smart that they need to do that.)

sa

goddamn broken html

Accept that the consequences of their actions mean that they might not get to play in all the games they want to or with all the people they want to, and stick to RPing in spaces where they are wanted. That's literally it. If they stay in their lane and stop doing the problematic behaviors they had before, then they can be forgiven.

Plenty of formerly 'big name wankers' have gone on to become far less wanky. I won't say they're wank-free because that's hard to know for sure, but they stay in their lane. They don't throw a tantrum on plurk if they're asked not to join a game. They don't namedrop and shame someone who asks for a DNI. They don't do behaviors that will get them warned or banned from games. They respect those boundaries and do their own thing quietly.

And before anyone goes "well I haven't heard of this", that's the point. Former wankers who stop being wanky just disappear from wankgate. You don't hear about them anymore because they're not doing anything wanky. It's not like we go "oh hey look, X is doing a good job of being a decent person now!" or something.

honestly i dont think dw would mind too much about a trans headcanon that was very clearly a headcanon and not stating, with absolute and total certainty, that the character is canonically trans and if you disagree you're a bigot. i call those saitama has no nipples moments.

+1

if i were those mods i'd rather kick out the three players doing the whisper campaign while claiming to be on the side of righteousness

100% Jamie behavior!

If you don't want to roleplay with someone, just shoot them a DM or tell them in their character journal if they have an opt-out post or a hmd.

No one has time for this kind of infantile bullshit anymore. We're all adults here, use your words and stop trying to cause drama.

The rest of us don't care about your petty gripes.

wobbles hand

i think the preference in dwrp is generally for trans headcanons to be explicitly stated as AUs, unless there's some basis in canon (for example, a crossdressing or nb character i guess)

you do know that bitches travel in batches, right? a batch of bitches? so three people coming to you or bringing up something that literally doesn't affect you just to 'spread the word' and you're so flustered about it that you come to wg to mention it as if there's a problem beyond the babbling of the bitch batch... kinda makes you one of them, buddy.

to break it down further for you: the problem isn't the problem that you think it is. the call is coming from inside the batch of bitches.

i imagine gsai is so insecure and fragile that they will believe whatever allows them to preserve the illusion, if only in their own mind, that they're not the bad guy in all these situations.

they feel entitled to doing not just what they want, but how they want it. but to admit you feel entitled to your fun at the expense of established rules and another's boundaries is to admit you're being an asshole, and gsai can only handle thinking of themselves as an always correct yet always persecuted little meow-meow

Are there any players you can’t stand for no specific reason? Like something about them just rubs you the wrong way and you don’t know what it is?

everyone who plays from mcu

This is a no fishing zone.

everyone who plays from anime.

everyone who plays

ime we don't mind in memes and psls but if you do a trans headcanon in game for a character that isn't explicitly trans or who is explicitly cis we get annoyed about it. in games we tend to be stricter about things being canon accurate.

everyone who uses the word "the" in their tags.

everyone who doesn't play the other half of my otp

this but with the word "just"

yes that includes myself

anyway you suck, op

you have someone in mind that you want to be petty about so badly, but you should keep that shit to yourself. asking us to join in doesn't make it less stupid

now that's just the silliest
