Some big name wankers including one mentioned above are known for hiding their identity to get around dnis. If someone known for that behavior wants to be forgiven they should just be honest about who they are and let people decide for themselves. Stop acting wanky for long enough and people will trust you again.

he's like someone from 10+ years ago, that's why. terrible, but fucked off to tumblr and either stayed there, or came back and had the good sense to not flash his dick at random guys when he returned.

This is legitimately what happens to people who were born into money.

"wants to be forgiven"

i think the breakdown here is you think "forgiven" means that people wronged may forgive, but the question that started the thread wasn't about that kind of forgiveness. it was about the kind where the wanker plays in the community again, and no mention was made about "i want to own up to my wrongs and make it up to the people i hurt."

of course its not ethical to lie about who you are, especially if you hurt people. but this is an rp community not a national identity monitoring system. except for gsai.

This is a terrible idea and unethical towards those who have a dni. Never do this. It will always end badly.

(Anonymous) 2023-03-03 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
are you ignoring the part about honoring DNIs because you need this idea to be as bad as it is unethical

its definitely unethical. its just not bad.

"Out of curiosity, what would a big name wanker have to do to be forgiven around here? If they apologized to their victims and owned up to what they'd done, would you forgive them?"

The original comment is literally talking about forgiveness nonny.

this behavior really shocked me at first for a lot of people but i think it's like how straight people think it's normal to hate their spouse, a lot of them also think it's normal to just hate their kids

No. Not in the moneyed sense at least.

(Anonymous) 2023-03-03 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
for me it's not that hard. just apologize and stop the bad behavior (as long as the behavior wasn't stuff like being a predator or lying to get around dnis)

some people will never really understand or accept what they've done to piss people off, but in my experience, most people grow out of stupid phases and are fine

i've forgiven people who acknowledged that what they did was shitty and apologized for it and we're cool now. but that requires recognizing and owning up to their bad behavior and then making sure not to do it again.

Thanks for giving me some color on that.

I've been reluctant to try DWRP because of the anon and HMD stuff. I appreciate feedback on my writing, but my experience on other platforms has usually been that that's not what people use those features for.

Had a (trans) friend get harassed for playing a trans OC because some cis people thought the character needed to be more depressed about being trans. Another friend who got shit because a mod thought it wasn't realistic for a black person to be a doctor. And a third who got harassed off of tumblr for playing MCU Zemo, because a different version of that character was a fictional Nazi in an alternate universe. So I'm just. Yeah.

I'm interested in writing with new people, but don't want to end up in like a crazy anon hate panopticon.

most dwrpers don't come here and don't use hmds. this is a bad place to try and get a feel for the hobby. it's like the fringe "terminally online" cesspool of twitter - most users are actually completely fine, and you only fine the really insane shit if you go into bad hashtags or load all the hidden responses. spending time here without an awareness that it's just a the same ten miserable people shitposting because they're bored will rot your brain and give you anxiety in a hobby that can easily be 100% stress free.

go to rpanons, friend

Apologize, take a break to reflect, and stop it. That would work the first time.

Depending on what you did, you might get one more fuck up after that, if you take a *long* break and come back with a better apology. Especially if you can explain the steps you took to change and grow after last time.

But after that, I'm not going to trust you again. I might avoid you completely or I might just ignore you, but we're not going to be writing partners.

Snow would fall under the "can't learn not to be a psychopath" label, a.k.a. should not be attempting to pretend to be reformed

someone like that would hopefully not be looking for advice on how to creep back in anyway, so...
