i didn't really read their posts tbh, they were too boring and i don't know why they're bothering to insist tfln is too horny when they could just not post in tfln, problem solved, it's one of like 500 memes

the tav player (? i'm not sure how many people are in that thread) seemed genuinely mad on tfln's behalf though so theirs were the funny posts

Re: da

it sounds like having read it they're just saying that they've had people start horny threads with them in response to someone who keeps insisting tfln isn't about drunken horny threads.

i regularly post to tfln. it is 80% horny shit. that isn't a good or bad thing, its just a fact. i'm very curious about this tav player and their insistence that most of tfln isn't horny stuff?

Re: da

actually tbh the source thread of that nonsense was someone pointing out tfln has a lot of ooc / mostly horny threads. i think the tav player feels called out, backreading to that.

Re: da

it was somebody having a tantrum about tfln is bad because it's ooc because horny, and people said you don't have to be horny on tfln, and hornyshame anon refused to accept that tfln isn't an obligatory horny meme for the rest of the comments which also got stupid but not *as* stupid as the anon angry at stupid sexy tfln

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

they never said it was a bad thing, they just seemed confused about how other people found all these not horny threads.

i sympathize. I, too, have a bunch of castmates who horny tag. jjk...

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

they seemed stupid. you get not horny threads by making your tags not horny.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

you can do that but still get horny tags. personal experience here but i have had people on tfln do the horny thing when my starters aren't and my tags to them aren't. i just drop the threads when that happens and focus on other ones but it's fucking stupid to claim it's anyone's fault for what randos on bakerstreet tag them with. unless we are suddenly claiming every unwanted tag on bakerstreet was actually the fault of whoever topleveled and they should have not worn a short skirt or something lest idk, made by me see them.

what they're saying isn't as funny as the fact that they continue saying it over and over without any understanding that the solution to their problem is very simple actually

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

if you mean the solution of choosing not horny texts they pointed out they tried that. it doesn't stop some people, I've had the same issue and drop those threads. no big deal but I get where they're coming from

Re: da

i feel like that's a very canon-dependent thing because i've never had that happen to any of my characters when i picked a selection of prompts that weren't horny.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

it's canon dependent imo, yeah, because it depends on the playerbase of the canon. there's definitely a group who leans into the sexual side (horny sounds so high school of us why are we using it) of tfln more than any other part of it. which is fine but still weird so many people are denying it happens at all.

it's not every thread but it's definitely common on tfln.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

i mean the obvious solution of saying "no horny texts please" you absolute clowns

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

i don't care about this part so much but i'd like to see what site the people who claim tfln isn't mostly horny are looking at because nearly every thread i skim read ends up some level of horny

[(Anonymous)]

da: tbh i've tried explicitly saying that on my top level too, along with several varieties of 'no smut' and 'no shipping' on tfln or regular memes. i've still gotten some ship pushers 'tee hee just trying!'

i just ignore them, personally, good way for people to tell on themselves that they've got very limited reading skills. but maybe the anon's canon is thirsty enough that it's more than a rare encounter? no idea.

Re: da

that player is always on rpa being super aggro, so idk if it has to do with tfln in particular. they have a distinctive writing style and are incredibly hostile and condescending in all of their comments.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

i think you're right on the money tbh. somebody who just has a shitload of time to sit around being mad on rpa about whatever they can find.

not gonna lie after reading their unnecessarily pissy responses i switched my prefs to "no malleable protags" on all my journals

i'm obviously going to be cutting off normal people too, but whatever, i haven't seen a single one i'd want to tag recently anyway

who is tav. not asking anyone to out the player i just don’t even know the character and i feel dumb?

Re: nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

tav is the default name of the baldur's gate 3 malleable protagonist, from what i know, anon!

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

i'm ngl i get where you're coming from but letting anon dictate your preferences is some next level brainrot

it would be so easy for that to have just been someone lying and shit stirring

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

eh

if it were a whole canon i'd agree, but frankly i don't think i'm losing anything of value by not rping with a bunch of characters who are, at best, donut steel very special blorbos, and at worst self-inserts

plus the fact that they immediately turned around and got mad about the insinuation that they don't get smut threads definitely reinforces that they play a malleable protag, though as someone else said they could be a wol player throwing tavs in front of the train

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

i don't tag people who write "no malleable protags" because the only people i've ever seen do that are wankgate regulars with poor takes

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

you aren't going to convince me to tag your tav/wol but i'm sorry if you were offended

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

i won't anymore because now i'll know it's a wankgate poster and i discriminate against them despite being one myself

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

do we finally have a worthy gsai successor

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

some people get really defensive of memes on bakerstreet especially the popular ones. i once mentioned in a disco group that tfln was a low effort way to unwind since it was fast and not serious and a friend of mine got incredibly offended by it. idk maybe some people are putting in a ton of effort for it but 98% of the people i know treat it as a time waster that at best may introduce you to some new people and at worst will give you some awkward threads
