Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

Some offsite thing.

It was a chatroom where users had profiles and stuff. The room was specifically named "Roleplay". It has three different roleplay rooms. //cringe

I was trying to find a place to indulge in my guilty pleasure of writing 2~5 sentences of competent English instead of long posts expected every time.

I started as a two-liner when I was 14, but I made sure I had these down: spelling, grammar, and a flaw/talent balance for my OC.

Been searching for a whole month, and not a person that does those who is willing to work with me a "casual and light little roleplay". I even told them I'd be happy to be killed off!

"Do not PM me if you write less than 2 paragraphs." But what if they're in a critical moment conversation?! D:

@NuttsnBolts
Yeah! Like, oh my god. She described her character as happy with a loving father and mother. But suddenly Missus died and she became this ball of spite that hates her poor dad as well!

Yes, parent death *can* be a prominent event. But it's not going to suddenly give you a 180° change from that alone! I tried to be nice to her and said I don't find her unworthy (I like to overcome my instant annoyance and be civil for the sake of future references). I had appreciated that we discussed before booting up something only to have it fail later on.

She's been ignoring me and browsing interest checks since.

Sigh.

This is the third Sue this month. The other two I encountered were:

● A lycan that has wings and can control fire and shadow. Has a human form. Is a samurai and ninja.

● Dad is Satan. Mother is an angel. Is very nice and has healing powers, but if you piss her off "you will regret it".

They came to me and described themselves as someone who is happy to please their parner, and that she's used to people telling her: "I don't wanna roleplay with you. Kbye Felicia."

I told them I felt that their character is "a bit of a Sue" and listed reasons on where I felt so. (Symbolic given name. Good at everything they do. Explicitly described as beautiful. Dramatic backstory. Ostracised by everyone for a trivial reason.)

I cringed at how polite I tried to be. With "I'm very sorry for coming off as boorish", "I apologise if it hurt your feelings", "I understand if you're embarrassed by my remark", etc. I asked if they were bullied in adolescent years for being thin and expressed condolences if yes.

I also said that my request is partially to lighten up the mood because I mentioned in my search that I'm looking for something fun.

Their response:

"I can't write positive characters because I don't have the environment to work with. Yes, I was made fun of for being anorexic. But such is life. As I am a stubborn woman, I will not change my character. I see you think I'm not worthy of your exceptional idea. Sorry to waste your time when we could have just started. Cheers!"

No lady, you were fine until you became a passive aggressive dumbass who takes it personally because your Mary effing Sue is an idealised self-insert. God, don't roleplay. Just write a journal of fantasies in your head, or play a visual novel.

Fun fact: She's 25.

@DeadBeatWalking What's with the Japanese name.

But at a certain point, some of the new heroes just seem like they're created to hit as many PC bullet points as possible. The new Iron Man is a teenage black girl who's story is that she grew up in the hood dealing with Generic Poverty Violence™, who turns out to actually be a genius who invents a new iron man suit while in college. Porcelain was released last year, and though I read like thirty articles saying how cool it was that there's a ~*~GENDERFLUID~*~ hero, all of them seemed to just gawk at this new character's gender while ignoring literally every other facet of the character.

@DeadBeatWalking

I've always been slow about these pop culture stuff, but say wot nao?

Post Your Pikcha

@Altered Tundra Your expression is enough to make me question myself if I happened to ask a silly question.

Guess the next user's kink.

YES YES YES YES YESSS.

I mean ... huh, sure I guess. //shrug of nonchalance

Moobs. Y'know, portmanteau for "man boobs".
