a lot of the issues in bakerstreet boil down to meme spamming in general and lack of character variety in most memes imo. a daily comm posting limit would help the former, and as for the latter, idk. I know I've skipped posting to memes because they're filled with the same 5 or 6 characters every time

same. i'll go through periods of just not checking bs at all because it's the same shit every time, and then when i go back because i want to do random scenario or whatever and i'm scrolling through i'm surprised pikachu because it hasn't changed

clearly some people are still interested, but i don't think anyone can deny that most memes these days are way deader than they used to be, with the exceptions of stalwarts like tfln, random scenario, etc.

yeah, i would love to tag out and I'm a big proponent of doing so. however, when the options are blond/brunette normal person/random mythological oc, live action guy looking for 30+ only characters which cuts out a huge chunk of character choices for me, anime character around the right age for my character that's m/m only, genshin only open to castmates, canon with no information easily found... you get the idea. this isn't a dig on those types of players. at least they're posting. i just wish i saw more people in memes that weren't tfln or random scenario. possibly this could be mitigated if there were fewer memes, especially niche memes, altogether. i haven't seen a weather related meme for a couple of weeks, for example. the unusual words meme is another one that i haven't seen in a while. even some smut memes have wider appeal than the ones posted that slot each character into a pre-determined role.

the ones that slot each character into a pre-determined role are the ones that rustle my jimmies, that's not a meme that's a glorified rp with me

Just post to enablemeplz instead of filling up the comm with memes that only work for a narrow subset of characters paired off in super specific ways

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2023-03-10 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
same, it drives me nuts. so much of memes now are fishing for specific characters or character dynamics and it reflects in who people post to them, as well as what memes are posted. that's the real issue, not whatever this gen season smut season thing above is.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2023-03-10 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, they are trash memes

you know what, a comm that's bans those and has no stance on gen/shipping/smut would probably be great

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2023-03-10 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
i would love it if bs was that comm, then i wouldn't give a single haypenny fuck about the smut and shipping memes because there'd be a reasonable number of them that wouldn't smother everything else

arent memes just glorified rp with me posts

no, and that you think that makes me pity you

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2023-03-10 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
lmao the fact that ayrt doesn't see the difference between "meme that's just a character dynamic" and "meme that actually has prompts to play off of" says a lot about why those memes are so common now

if you want to play bad boy x soft girl, that's not a prompt, that's just a psl ad. post to enablemeplz instead of shitting up bakerstreet

what is the point of a meme if not to get people to rp with you was more what i was saying

this is a deeply stupid and arbitrary distinction when you could just say "meme is when i like post" and get across the same meaning

the difference is that memes aren't supposed to be just for the person posting them

it's the fact that they so frequently appeal to nobody except the person posting them that is precisely the problem

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2023-03-10 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
so again

"meme is when post happens that i like"

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2023-03-10 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
no, meme is when post happens that more than one person with itch for specific dynamic wants to play in

if me talk in caveman speak, you understand?

(Anonymous) 2023-03-10 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I get what you're trying to maybe say??? but arguing that a toplevel isn't an rp with me somehow because you dont like the meme is the dumbest fucking wording you could have managed.

holy shit you're so mad.

all im saying is that somehow arguing that certain meme toplevels are glorified rp with me ads and other meme toplevels are trying to get people to rp with you is really fucking dumb wording on your part, if you're the anon who wrote that.

but if you're going to get all worked up about this, here's another take: the dynamic memes are shit, but if you weren't arguing about shit tier memes you'd blame it on shit tier characters, and if it's not shit tier characters you'd blame it on shit tier modding. all of this is a handful of wankgate regulars pretending like they tag when they dont and rubbing one out to being really fucking angry about rp memes.

the only person mad is you babe, you getting hung up on the wording and missing the point is a personal problem

the point being that "memes" where you're just fishing for goth x femme or whatever your pet dynamic of the moment is are incredibly narrow in scope and don't belong on bakerstreet, take it to kywtp or enablemeplz or your plurk list
