Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

[Weird Tales]

also since we don't exactly know who we all are, there is always going to be a chance that people will do something that offends someone. I've seen rps set in WW2 where players can play as Nazis and rps set in ancient Rome

i would say calling someone scum and talking about being a punching bag in a past life sounds like personal attacks which I'm pretty sure is breaking site rules.

As I said I am not defending the roleplay and I agree that it was very inappropriate, but regardless it was wrong for the people to react in such a hostile manner. After all this site isn't meant to be a safe space and we must never treat it as such. This is a community and therefor civility is what makes a community prosper

@Weird Tales

I agree on some points, but the topic itself arguably removed the civilty status of that thread. Everyone responding in such a volatile way to such an inappropriate breach is expected (at least, imo), but I also agree that how it was handled was very far from optimal. Some took it too far, yes definitely, but it was still justifiable anger.

Though, I don't think we're going to get anywhere with this argument, considering how stubborn I am and how the thread was ultimately locked for both "sides". Also, as others have said, there's a high chance it was just a dedicated troll. Part of me believes he wasn't, but to err on the side of caution, maybe it'd be best to stop conversation about it. Don't feed the possible trolls and all that.

Agree to disagree?

Yeh, there is a pretty high chance.

[Dolerman]

If you're calling someone a sociopath or whatever you're just being stupid. Especially when it's referring to someones concept for a fictional, note the word fictional, writing setting (based on a historical event). Not that the idea wasn't stupid at all for a public roleplaying forum, but there have been plenty of fictional books based on or set in actual atrocities.

@Chrononaut

I don't think hes a sociopath for making the thread, I think its more for his cold, creepy responses to criticism.

EDIT: the SJWs White Knights and Tumblrites are really coming out the woodwork in this thread, just saying.

Used to be that meant people who thought they were turtles, or claimed twelve separate sexual identities. Now I suppose it means people who think it is obscene to create a score-based rape roleplay.

@Vilageidiotx

You can suppose that, but I didn't say it.

SillyGoy isnt a troll, hes in a mech roleplay I'm about to join, something very off putting about the way he posts, its like one of those cold emotionless bond villians.

@Dynamo Frokane

If someone who takes up the name "SillyGoy" and then makes that Nanking RP isn't a troll, then they are definitely a unique person. I can't say for certain who the dude is or what he is about, but just looking at what went down in that Nanking rp, it is hard not to come to the conclusion that he is fucking with us. For me at least.

@Vilageidiotx

He has 640 posts over 668 days, and as far as I can tell that was his very first warning. Surely a troll wouldnt wait that long just to intentionally piss a few people off. Only to go back to normal RPing.

I'm leaning more to the Sociopath/severe lack of empathy theory.

An SJW is someone who advocates for minority groups but is not necessarily a minority. That's why they're a, wait for it, Social Warrior of Justice. They're known for loudly "protesting" or complaining about a thing while not necessarily actually doing anything about it.

PC is when someone acts shocked at things because it's the "politically correct" thing to do. It's probably what @Dynamo Frokane is referring to. Some people take PC too far, but I'd say it's a safe bet that not allowing what I'm about to post is a pretty good idea.



I wouldn't say that posting something about an event that occurred 100 years ago is lack of empathy. They're already dead, there is no one to feel bad for. They died. Any of their descendants probably never knew them and it's very unlikely that someone who knows a survivor is even around this forum. It was in extremely poor taste though.

Yo I'm back for the last post before my hiatus begins

I went to the United States a few weeks ago for a visit to my family and I brought my boyfriend. We were walking around in the downtown area in the city we were in and people were constantly talking to us and asking us questions about our relationship. I didn't mind until a woman asked us "SO you're gay? How does that even work? Isn't it, like, a natural thing for men to desire women?"
I refrained from saying anything, but my boyfriend went off on her. I don't blame him, though. Internally, I was pissed off.
By the time he was finished with her, she was furiously yelling at him about some 'natural order' or 'sexual indifference' or whatever it was (I don't know, she was screaming like a deranged squirrel or something).
I just hate it so much.
I didn't really know how to deal with it and my boyfriend didn't handle it the best, to be honest.
But yeah.
Screw that woman. that disrespectful shit

Moving the hell on from THAT shitstorm,

People need to learn to not message every five goddamn minutes for every minute detail about everything. I can get the occasional question, fine. That's my job as a GM. But holy shit, I am not here to have you figure EVERYTHING out. Yes, I know what certain things do. Yes, that is how that thing works. I shouldn't have to be telling you this. Get out of my PM box/off my skype/away from my steam and leave me be to do OTHER things some times please. It's starting to become a soul sucking experience rather than something I'm doing for fun.

And for the love of five dancing Mexicans in heaven, when I tell you to QUIT it, then QUIT it!

Bleh. Dunno if it's appropriate to whine about people, but I figured it was okay as long as I didn't mention any names. Don't

@Tulpa
Maybe it's because I don't believe those deliberate smear campaigns and see how the media has basically used propaganda and false information to pretend gamergate is a "trolling campaign." I have yet to see ample evidence that the entirety of gamergate is a trollfest. Like any other movement it has it's bad apples, it's just that the media loves to bash on GG so...

Yeah. I don't see the point in calling GG a trolling campaign. By that logic, every website/movement is a trolling campaign because there are trolls?

I may as well call RPG a trollfest since that insensitive thread was made here. Hey, he was an RPG user right? Must mean RPG are all trolls.

On another site (the same one with the admin problem) i had been roleplaying in a multi-fandom RP and every thing was going wrong for me and the other players continuously and figuratively rub salt into my wounds with the gm mentioning me and telling another player to kill my character while i did drop the RP recently it's still kind of dick move
