Thanks for being a good sport anyway!

Feeling ignored. Part 2.

As an aside, I don't think it is helpful (or safe) for a minor to hide their age in their 1x1 interest checks to potentially get more activity, as some people in this thread have advocated for. The actual number may not be necessary, but a heads up like, "I am under the age of 18" is appreciated – and it's not just an internet security, cover-your-ass thing.

In my opinion, hiding it would be disrespectful to potential partners who may have personal boundaries about not roleplaying with minors. They may not want to roleplay adult themes (not necessarily sexual things, but topics like addiction, violence, other dark story elements) with someone under the age of 18. That is fine – it is their prerogative to have limits on who they want to tell stories with.

They also may not want to roleplay with someone under the age of 18, period. That's also fine. They are allowed to want to write with someone who is on equal footing, with similar life experience and maturity, regardless of topic or genre. Considering that roleplaying is a social hobby that often leads to internet friendships that last long after a thread dies, it is not at all wrong that people should want those potential friendships to be with people in their own age bracket.

Calling it age discrimination is ignoring the potentially-valid feelings of the person on the other side of the screen. Key word being person. They would be fully within their rights to drop anyway if they do find out you're underage, so it may save everyone time and effort to be upfront about it.

Trying to mislead someone into roleplaying with someone they would otherwise be uncomfortable writing with (if they knew the full circumstances) might be something a lot of us did as shitty teenagers on the internet, but... was it good of us to do that? Looking back, probably not.

@Roach

Sounds pretty logical to me. I mean, I was pretty blinded by my frustration that I called it age-discrimination. That was stupid shit, that I did.

@The Ghost Note

I know that, but still hah... You get what I mean about it. Just attempting to approach more. By the way I'm looking for fantasy or sci-fi roleplay so. I'm like, hard-looking for em.

By hard-looking I really mean I am looking for one.

Hi... Is this thread open?

Alright, I'll try to be approach more when it comes to roleplay. It'll be kind of hesitant at first but I'll just embrace it like a madman I truly am...I hope.

Edit: Swapped out the word: Approachative to this. "I try to approach more." LOL

@Ammokkxoh omegalul lmao.

Sorry.

@Alfhedil

Thanks for telling me that though. I mean, It's just hard integrating myself into things and I always look at other people and see how they were successful. Which leads me to think I am the only one left. But with your statement, I'm not sure how I feel any more in my honesty.

However, I am actually making my own group roleplay dedicated to sci-fi and sci-fantasy here on the forums. Sometimes I'm scared to approach people because I might get rejected, it sounds weird but I feel nervous and shy sometimes. It's alright to be shy though, especially in forums and interest checks. I only got like 1 player the last time I joined and now it's just 2 players in the last 2-3 weeks? Or 1. Though, I feel I must take the step of my life anyway. Thanks for being so understanding.

It's not you or people judging you based on your age when it comes to why people aren't clicking on your interest checks and showing interest. It's just a thing that happens to everyone, like it's hard enough for some of the regulars to get fresh interest in their things. Most people I know generally shift from RP to RP in their own group, picking up a few, dropping a few along the way. This is just how it works.

I would seriously suggest listening to some of the prior advice though, especially in dialing back and trying to just integrate into the community first. Join up with a few RPs that look interesting. Make connections with people and get to know them. After a while you'll have some people that you could just say "Hey, I got this idea." and there's a few guaranteed players. This stuff takes time.

Though it may seem pretty weird. But I don't really "Focus" on age primarily but more like secondary and I don't complain too much because I have the right to voice it out when I feel to. That's how life is with autism though, it may be hard to voice my opinion out because it seems rather non-logical or dumb. However, sure I may have a disability but I'm working hard to combat it. I'm not using this as an excuse but mostly due to me misinterpreting stuff and yes I was diagnosed with atypical autism so that matter is solved. Mostly it's because of interest checks and such. Bold of me to assume but the reason you wouldn't roleplay with me is just that I'm not old enough and that you may not be comfortable roleplaying with me regardless of wrting style. So sorry if this statement caused any...Further issues about my complaining. It's just that I feel like protesting and yeah.

Also that I may be seen as immature but some parts of myself are grown up a little. However, I do feel the need to speak out anyway! I have to at least voice it out in a sense but feel like I can't keep it in. But, you could cut me some slack about the whole subject. I may be a young roleplayer but that doesn't mean I won't ever improve but of course, you didn't say that but it seems to be a little strange.

Yes what Aommokkx brought up was a good point. However, the reason I actually am open about my age in interest-checks is that I don't want people to bump into me and like ask about my age due to some... Weird scenario let's say. When it happens someone is asking for smut and I decline and tell my age. I don't approach someone's PMS without permission so that's all about it. I'm very much aware about why there's 18+ but it's just frustrating me. That's all I have to say to be honest, it's not like the adults are in wrong but it's more like I'm either unlucky or just stupid and pretty whiny about the subject.

He's a very happy person but also kind towards other people. Nesy usually doesn't like things that are causing negative impact on things and therefore wants to improve and continue to strive and never give up!

Background:

Nesy is a Celvestian, an extraterrestrial being coming from another universe but from another planet called: Celvestia. His race have multiversal traveling capabilities and can go through any realm possible. His growth was rather peaceful where his parents were kind and noble ones. During school, he is one of the smartest kids in the class and was awarded a PhD in engineering and science. Where he one day went out to the stars and beyond to explore. Celvestians are knowledgeable for their high intelligence but they’re also a type of being that accepts all races, does no discrimination. Nesy is a retired soldier who wants to live his dream but he was made to repel invasions and Demonoid hostilities in his special operations on other planets. He had met other aliens. The lad has nothing against demons but he is basically a type of alien who was selected for it. Nesy has Hexa-helix genes but are very similar to the human genome, just that it’s in a hexa-helix configuration and altered to work that way. Despite his efforts to repel invasions, he’s very kind towards demons or anything to be honest. An egalitarian so to say! Some people call him a feminist or masculinist, but he calls himself an egalitarian anyway as he works for a goal… Everyone is equal no matter what.
