Deal Breakers. What makes you "walk" away?

I kid you not, someone once made a "curvaceous bombshell" that had that height to weight ratio. I swear, some people are in a "who weighs the least?" Competition even though it is extremely unrealistic.

Her bones must've been made of paper and her muscles out of styrofoam or something XD That's the only reason I can come up with for that. Just out of curiosity, did she also happen to have DDD breasts as well? That'd just be the icing on the cake XD

I'm not sure what her cup size was, haha. She had generous womanly proportions, I do know that (though with that weight, she shouldn't have generous anything, lol)

I gotta add another qualm:

The curvaceous bombshell that is 5'5 and weighs 50 Ibs.

No, Jessica, she literally cannot be a curvaceous bombshell with that height to weight ratio. I'm pretty sure if she's not dead, she ain't able to properly function, so she shouldn't be able to run or any of that jazz either.

Holy shit. I'd say this person might've confused kilograms for pounds, but even then, 50 kgs isn't a lot of curvaceous to make a bombshell out of at 5'5. Might depend on your definition of "curvaceous", however.
 
Condensed into my point below.
Sorry the app makes it hard to edit posts.

As a way to keep on topic I do have a dealbreaker about instagram/ Facebook images as face claims.

I mean unless it’s Iike - my character has hair like X random person.

Okay but that's because using a real person's face without permission is actually creepy and stalkerish whereas if you were foolish enough to claim you made art that you didn't make you'd just be a dick

tbh I don't think I've ever seen someone claiming whatever anime image image they're using is their own art (unless it obviously is)

Also, please consider the possibility of your face being attached to someone's rp character: it would be bad enough if they were using your face to play an elf princess or something, but what if the rp character espouses beliefs you yourself do not believe? That would be incredibly creepy.

Now if the problem is lack of proper credit for images fair enough. I actually agree with that.


My thought is if you can look at an anime image and go well duh this person didn’t draw that. What difference does it make if they use the gif set of idk Chadwick Bozeman from Black Panther it’s equally obvious they aren’t actually Chadwick Bozeman or the Black Panther. ( unless they are playing that character )

The same way if I used Heidi Klum as a face claim. I’m obviously not claiming I’m Heidi Klum or in any way affiliated with Heidi Klum

Like it’s the hipocrisy that bothers me more than anything. I rarely use images at all so I don’t have a dog in this fight. I am just baffled when the same people who find using real persons image to be a kind of identity theft. Have no problem using another persons intellectual ( their art ) without permission. Like oh it’s bad to use someone’s real life picture for a medium they didn’t approve it for and in a way they might find objectionable.

But it’s a okay to use someone’s character/ art that they put a lot of hard work into without their permission and in a way they might find objectionable
 
Distantly related to the point above I hate hippocrits. Like when it’s all I don’t like XYZ but only when you do it. I I do it than it’s a okay. Like pfft okay bye then

After a certain point, I just started drawing my own pictures, unless the thread demands a certain quality of artwork for some reason. Still, I personally would feel much less offended if my art got attached to some rp character than my actual irl face, and I still think I'd rather have no pictures at all if my own art is considered less desireable than real people's faces.
 
The clear fangirl with the stupid backstory. I mean I have no problem with you being a fan, I have no problem with you shipping your OC with a canon character, I do it sometimes too, but when you make stupid back stories that make no sense just to try and prove your character loves this character...I just can't do it.

For example let's say we're doing a Naruto RP this person wants her OC to be with Sasuke. In her backstory her entire clan dies, but when Sasuke leaves the village it's "The worst pain she's ever felt in her life" ...really...you sure about that? You sure him leaving was worse than your loving family and clan members all being murdered? Not it was the worst pain you felt sense your clan was murdered or it was like you were losing your family all over again. I can be reasonable I can accept that, but the reason this causes me to drop the rp is because it will bug the shit out of me the entire time and because I don't want to nitpick at your characters backstory I won't say anythng about it but it will keep bugging me for as long as we RP and god help you if you bring it up in a conversation between our two characters because it will take everything in me not to reply with a sarcastic remark.

I love doing Canon x OC roleplays and doubling for my partner but sometimes I do find it difficult to buy into the relationship my partner wants, which makes me feel like I'm being unfair or a picky asshole. Sometimes I'll try to stick it out in hopes that the other aspects of the RP can hold my attention, or that my partner's OC will grow on me so I'll like them even if I can't understand the appeal of the relationship. But usually if I get a gut feeling it isn't going to work out that gut feeling holds true, which kind of sucks.

I think I have this problem more when the partner comes at me with a pre-existing relationship though because I have to try to understand why these two characters were/are in love with each other while I'm still getting to know the OC themself, as well as how my partner rolls with their writing style and preferences, which is rather difficult for me. I've had some great partners who I've been able to settle into that rhythm with just fine, though.

I mean I like Canon x OC too it's just...make the story make sense. You can't tell me something like you had a loving family that was tragically murdered and then tell me the worst pain you ever felt in your life was when so!e guy left. I don't care how much you love him, how is him leaving worst than your family being murdered?

Like you said I don't like to be an asshole which is why I try not to say anything about or nitpick at their backstories...but then it bugs me...so much.

"My whole family's dead, everyone I know was murdered, everyone who could've possibly been close to me is now gone forever. I can deal with that."

"Jerry walked away as I was trying to talk to him while he was listening to music?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

And that’s fine. If you just don’t like a style that’s fine. If you have a preference for an art style you like that’s fine.

but unless you ask the person directly if it’s okay if you use their art you don’t get to make the assumption they’ll just be a okay with that cuz it’s only art.

I mean sure some people might not care. Well some people won’t care if you use their image in a roleplay.

By the reverse some people will absolutely care just as you would be very weirded out if someone used your IRL face in a roleplay.

What I’m saying is just there is no equivalency. It’s like oh because X thing bothers me but Y thing doesn’t than it’s okay for me to assume everyone feels the same way. At least if you ask you know one way or another.
( using the general you. I’m more talking to just blatant hipocrites than your Individual case specifically as you seem to use your own art and obviously you can use your own creations however you want. )

People who whine and bully people who are in an rp who is kicking their friend's asses in Said Rp...

"Oooh how unrealistic that a character who is A rich, harry potter mage specializing in Potions can create potions... " "Oh! How unrealistic it is to have a black rich woman who had her ancestors who migrate into Fictional England And insert themselves in the British Royal court in the early 1900 to suddenly be part Of the British Social Elite Who has contacts... 3 centuries later "

"Lets say that the character is cheating even when all the things she has all the capabilities and resources that can make such thing possible... Why? Because shes beating my friend who cAn pull out Knowledge and Deux ex Machina out of his ass cause he cant Outwit the girl using his limited resources...

While we are at it lets accusse and twist the words of the girl to suit on our assumptions"

I can only take so much of Such bullcrap and 3 -5 pages of this shit from a person Who isnt even playing on said rp..

People who make me change the gender of my character because they either

Don’t do fxf.

Or don’t play men.

I’m sick of it. I’ll drop you.

Like usually you ask for specific pairings ???

So like my dude for why? I told u I play x gender in y pairing. What u thought I was lying?

I mean I might ask for non romance but if ya say no I’m not gonna be like you have to play a platonic character.

I’m debating whether or not to message them, or to just leave the conversation without a word.

My pairing are mine. Don’t bump me if you don’t like them in the first place.
 
To the above. I mean you can just give a polite heads up if the rest of the request is good. Like oh I said I like X pairing. If your not into that good luck in your roleplay
 
People who respond to a prompt or other listing and want to change nearly everything about my idea. Like, I'm all about compromise but if you're not into the vast majority of the basic elements of my idea, why did you contact me...?

Maybe they liked your style? Usually tho I just say hey would you be interested in XXX rather than changing an existing idea beyond recognition

What frustrates me is when people ask after fandoms.

But are like oh I don’t like X fandom. Or I don’t know/ want to learn about X fandom.

Then why the hell did you apply for a FANDOM roleplay?
 
Immortality. Y-yeah, no. Most roleplays I have joined where one character was immortal, said character turned into a total asshole. Or fought over freaking anything. Just-just no, thanks. At least give it a major downside, like unable to feel emotions, excruciating pain when attacked, bones break more easily and it takes the body longer to heal them or something. And even THEN I'll most likely leave.
Keep your immortal character, I AM OUT. I mean I can get that immortality can be somewhat fun, but it can get annoying for the other players incredibly fast.
 
Deal breakers.. I guess most of them have already been stated haha but because they bug me so much I'll throw one in.. When someone has their character as the center of attention. Nothing tunes me out faster.
