Hello! For the sake of this conversation I feel it's necessary to mention that as I usually do group rps, I'm going to be approaching this from that angle.
I'm just really interested in viewpoints on the topic because I know that at least for me, the sub genre is necessary for me to even look at an interest check, and I always find it so surprising when I forget to filter for it and see all these realistic rps that don't have the sub genre listed.
I feel it'd be presumptuous to assume the reasons someone may or may not use it, so I thought I'd ask the people that use this forum their thoughts and opinions to better understand where people might be coming from :>
I don't think it's fair to expect you to tell me why you do the things you do if I don't do that as well, so I'm gonna give a brief explanation of why I care so much about the sub genre. So I guess it mainly comes down to me being a trans bisexual man whose main muses are not only more than a little gay but also trans/nonbinary. When I see that sub genre, it not only tells me that my muses are welcome there, but also that I am welcome there. Even if the rp doesn't revolve around romance, it still matters to me, because my existence doesn't revolve around a partner. Without a boyfriend, I am still a man and I am still attracted to men, and that shapes things to a greater capacity than just who I can romance in an rp.
Whew, really feel like I got on a soapbox there for a second. Sorry about that! Anyways, that's just my personal experience, and I'd love to hear yours! Please please please tell me how you personally feel about the sub genre- I really want to be able to better understand and comprehend the way others see this sub genre :>
