Yeah, cases similar to that or worse ("nsfw" of kids' cartoons, etc.) are what I had in mind. Again, I do think that if you watch something, you won't necessary emulate that, nor is it a correlation, it's complex, as you well say in the last paragraph. But patterns do exist, and being wary...
I don't see how it's baseless, given how I've seen it countless times to defend things I don't want to mention. It is reductive in the sense that I chose to focus on that and nothing else, because it's the topic I thought was most important. (I do think your point on abusers hiding is correct...
Those who say fiction does not affect reality—or that you can separate fiction and reality in a clear-cut way—are, most of the time, simply looking for ways to justify their unethical/immoral/shameful interests or likes. It's a shield, and a lousy one at that. The same argument will be used by...
Zero game, to be honest. Though I do like dice and find it fun, I never really played it. I find it more fun to delve into the characters and the story, but especially the characters and their interactions within the story and how they evolve.
I never skim posts, in fact, I read them twice or more times to enjoy them haha. Granted, I don't write more than two or three paragraphs and nor do my partners. But... I do remember someone skimming my posts or just ignoring details of what I'd written but I don't remember any specifics...
I have not! Most have died early, a few advanced to some pages, some are ongoing. Hopefully I'll be able to complete one, but sometimes, it's in the journey itself, some RPs could go on indefinitely and the story would be complete even if the RP doesn't have an 'end' (slice-of-life or more...
This is a great post, just wanted to say that. I think I myself would fit into the casual-detailed spectrum, although I sometimes yearn for a more quick-paced, simple mindset in a roleplay. I believe that a roleplay can have different moments where these 'mindsets' take turns and play a part in...
This looks like a really fun concept! Some questions so that you can move forward:
If humans are using Lachie implants, do humans perceive them to be superior? What about Lachies, do they perceive themselves to be superior to humans and so wish to treat them as slaves? Do humans bow down to them...
Glad it helped! Haha, don't worry, it always takes time, you're gonna have to persevere. It's probable that your first RPs will die unless you're really lucky and find great partners. Anyways, usually, for group RPs, Discord is used for OOC stuff, lore, and any other thing you'd need. There's...
Both are good. I was in one RP where, basically, one could write 'joint posts' or 'individual posts'. 'Joint posts' where posts where two or more characters interacted continously, let's say: they met for lunch and talk about some stuff. This was usually done over at an online pad like 'pirate...
Thank you all for answering. I'll chime in with some anecdotes and a bit about my perspective right now:
I actually started roleplaying in Spanish—my native tongue—in a Pokemon forum back in 2009 or so? I didn't know it was roleplay and only now can I identify it as that. It was a different kind...
This is such a good, wholesome post!!!??? I remember I had made a similar one about 'questions to your OCs' I'll link it up later if you're interested. I also love reading about OCs and writing about mine! I'll come later to write about my kids for sure <3.
So, to all of you whose mother tongue is not English, I have a few questions:
- What is your mother tongue?
- Do you only roleplay in English?
- Do you find it easier to find roleplay sites in English rather than in your mother tongue? That is, are there more English-speaking roleplay sites than...
Uh from my experience these more males or at least the same amount being played in group RPs? But anyways, people will play what they want and if you're not looking for that maybe just skip those thread? Lol.
It's funny that the design you chose is practically Rin from Blue Exorcist yet he's like the anti-edgy character XD. I guess as for the edgy phenomenon... too much shonen anime? idek
