    Viewpoint Recognising Faceclaims as actual characters.

    Ooh Rinmaru.com... that takes me back. I'm a veteran of using that site lol. I'll definitely look into using them more often. Now that you've reminded me I'm more inclined to check up on them. Picrew, however, is not very diverse and a lot of the avatar creators are very... exclusive. A lot...

    Viewpoint Recognising Faceclaims as actual characters.

    Hmm usually I use FCs as a general idea of what the character looks like (hair color and texture, skintone, etc.) until I draw my character myself. I usually like to dig around and find where the FC comes from. I've found some artists that I now follow consistently to this day through doing...

    Advice/Help Is it okay to roleplay as characters that aren't a part of your race/ethnic group?

    Oh yes, I understood that wasn't what you were insinuating I was just adding on in the conversation! Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough lol. In a lot of my replies I've been trying to add on in the conversation by explaining more about what it is I do personally. Also I'll definitely...

    Advice/Help Is it okay to roleplay as characters that aren't a part of your race/ethnic group?

    First of all, thank you so much for writing all of this. It was really enlightening for me and I understood everything you were saying. You even brought up some things that I'd never thought about before and I feel like it gave me more perspective. I definitely do not use any of my characters...

    Advice/Help Is it okay to roleplay as characters that aren't a part of your race/ethnic group?

    A lot of great points you brought up here! I'd like to say I stay very clear of troupes or stereotypes, harmful or not harmful both. And I definitely don't go on and on about how they look or if they're "exotic", that definitely is weird and I can second-hand understand how alienating and...

    Advice/Help Is it okay to roleplay as characters that aren't a part of your race/ethnic group?

    This makes a lot of sense, honestly. And for sure, if I'm unsure if I know enough about a character I'm creating I'll just decide not to continue making them. Representation and depiction is very important. Since I (as an LGBTQ+ person) have seen a lot of misrepresentation of groups I belong to...

    Advice/Help Is it okay to roleplay as characters that aren't a part of your race/ethnic group?

    Thanks for responding! This definitely helped me think about it in a different perspective. And also made me realize probably why roleplay is something I've always really loved doing.

    What about in personal roleplays too? I just got on this site so I haven't really roleplayed here before. Most of where I roleplay is with friends on discord.

    Advice/Help Is it okay to roleplay as characters that aren't a part of your race/ethnic group?

    So for some context, I was on Twitter the other day and I saw a post basically saying: "White people shouldn't roleplay as bipoc characters because they'll misrepresent and misportray them" I've always roleplayed with many different ocs, a lot of them being bipoc. Although usually set in...

    Introduce Yourself!

    Hey my names Elijah. I joined to actually ask some questions about roleplaying n stuff so I came here. Though I think I'll lurk too. I've been roleplaying since I was maybe 8 or 9 years old. Can't exactly remember but it's been a long time.
