(Anonymous) 2024-08-19 09:50 am (UTC)(link)combine those two things and you have adult babies who believe that anyone who ages out of this hobby or at least has to put their real life obligations (especially if those involve marriage and/or children) before rp are lying at best and traitors at worst

(Anonymous) 2024-08-19 10:20 am (UTC)(link)whining that someone can't rp or chat online with you much because they have a kid to focus on is a really bad look.
but similarly if someone's saying that since they're a mother now they don't have time to waste on immature online hobbies, they shouldn't be surprised when people who enjoy those hobbies pull away. you can choose to prioritise other things (and should, if parenthood is one of them!) without denigrating the stuff you used to do. all in the phrasing.
i like hearing people's parenting stories though, because i like kids but don't have any of my own.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-19 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)i think a lot of us are autistic nerds with past experience of being told that the things we enjoy are stupid and wrong and a waste of time. so some of us are more sensitive about it than we probably should be. that's why i said it's about phrasing. got actual important things taking up all your time and don't want to rp anymore? totally understandable. go do them. no need to make people who still rp feel shitty about it by saying negative things. obviously not everyone does this! but some do, in a way i haven't seen from people who give up offline hobbies because they have more important commitments.
