As far as LGBTQ media goes, it's a relatively new branch of media to enter the public conscious, if you will, and humans tend to like playing with their new toys and shiny gadgets. As LGBT stuff starts to enter the mainstream and find its niche, I think you'll find that the hype around it is...
It really just sounds like you don't like romance rps. 🙃 Just joking, but I think @rae2nerdy hit it right on the head. Most of the people you're going to have a MxM roleplay with are either women (who don't know how a gay man would actually act) or young adults (who romanticize relationships in...
I go hybrid.
My high school experience was absolutely awful, and I'd prefer to forget about it, hence the appeal for a high school RP. Not exactly replacing the experience (that'd be stupid), but trying to relate more positive emotions to the overall experience, so that I won't be as bothered...
@Vagabond Spectre I don't know how he/she does it, but they can draw crazy fast! Either that or they must have a library's worth of character poses. Either way is fairly impressive.
@Nightmares Angel Their replies on the forum games sometimes make me fall out of my chair laughing!
They've...
Whoops! That came out wrong... Just wanted to let you know the post got me thinking, buddy. Didn't mean to take such a cynical stance... Thanks for taking time on my comment, though.
You are one smart Pikachu...
On a more serious note: I just thought of something, not sure how much it would contribute to the conversation. How many GMs have incorporated the player's background into the RP? I mean, a normal person may be able to handle at most two or three people who took...
I've done 1x1s on other sites with about as much luck. It's gotten to the point where if someone really wants me to, I'll quickly binge-watch a short enough fandom to get caught up so I can RP it with them. I've had one successful one this way, but it remains my sole success in RPing in general...
I don't know if it's just me, but: When everyone drops out of the RP on the same day. I'm just like: "uh... I think I missed the memo?" (echoes, echoes, echoes) I've been on this site for a year and have never really gotten to RP yet 'cause everyone just leaves after around the fifth-sixth...
@Koala Identify with an anime character of the opposite gender. Then role-play as whoever you are playing as, keeping in mind the character you identified with. I don't know if that made sense.
Basically: practice. Not practice as in repeat the same situation until you get better, but try new...
Yeah, and it sucks when they die. For some reason (on other sites, I barely started here) my characters always seem to die in the most horrid ways. Don't ask me how, but one of them even ended up being eaten by a boar. It was so sad...
I tend to prefer younger roles over gender roles. I'll usually rp as a teen. No preference in gender.
I really have no right to be judging other people, or at least that's how I feel. The very notion of preferring different people to rp with has never occurred to me.
My first rp was one post, and has been till now. It's always intimidated me. I'm shy, so I used it to "fix" myself.
In retrospect I could have thought of something smarter than a place that just uses words.
