The point was I was agreeing that seeking out grammatical errors to point out is an annoying habit.
I thought as much it just came out of nowhere so I was like ?

While I do agree that there are people who do grossly fetishize LGBT characters, and that this is a problem in and of itself, I do see where people are coming from in wanting to write LGBT characters. I think the fact that many roleplayers, younger or not, prefer to write LGBT characters should be taken with a grain of salt. From my personal experience of the roleplaying community as a whole, I've observed that, often, the writers of these characters are LGBT themselves. I know that it can seem a bit overzealous at times, but I do strongly believe that a lot of people who are a part of the LGBT community themselves write exclusively LGBT characters because this is their only outlet to express themselves. Mainstream media is flooded with non-LGBT characters and storylines, so it makes sense that somebody who might not have the opportunity to see people like them represented in traditional media write the characters and stories they wish to see represented.
For me, that is the other side of the double-edged sword where LGBT roleplayers can write stories and express themselves as one is free to do. Honestly, many stories and RPs here on RPN rival some of the cookie cutter stories in media where it is "boy falls in love with the girl" or the other way around, but it's that small fraction of people fetishize and stereotype who push my buttons. On the notation of the younger roleplayer thing, I'm talking about those roleplayers who are fangirls and roleplay their desires of being yaoi character with the stereotyping of many homosexual relationships. While it may not be all LGBT characters on RPN, it is a large chunk.
I don't know if I'm being a bit insensitive here - people in the past hid their nonconforming selves rather well or were killed - but it's rather suspicious that the character's LGBT-ness literally never comes up at any point in the entire roleplay besides "sexuality: bisexual"
I only ever bump my interest check once because i usually post my interest checks in the evening so nobody notices them and i need to bump them.People who constantly bump their interest check. Don't get me wrong, it certainly sucks when people aren't interested in your rp ideas but for heavens sake, just let the thread die if nobody has shown any interest in it for a week. People aren't going to be magically more interested in it because you bumped the thread a gazillion times.

Both, I guess. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by reusing the thread.Do you mean like multiple times in a day or reusing the thread?

Oh, that's perfectly fine. If you're only using one thread to look for rps that naturally you're going to have to bump it more. But isn't that more or less something only done 1x1's search threads?So reusing a thread is where you make only one search thread.
And you just update it whenever your interest change , you need to find new roleplays.

I'm talking about the looking for group threads.
When I write six fucking paragraphs and my partner responds with a short sentence that doesn't move the plot at all.
When people just spams random fan art in OOC threads. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for an active OOC but I'd prefer that people actually used them to chat with the other players rather than spam a bunch of fan art.
Also, more often the not it just buries important posts.
Actual fan art.Wait like gifs or actual fan art of characters? I mean either thing seems super obnoxious but ... like why fan art? What is the point in spamming that?
