Pair of Hearts

Thoughts on queer fandom? [MATURE, 18+]

I'm pro LGBTQ+. I really don't care if someone is monogamous or polygamous, homosexual or heterosexual (or asexual, demisexual, pansexual, spatulasexual, potatosexual, Hidenorisexual, etc, you get my point). If it matters, I'm a genderfluid bicurious unicorn. Hi.

I balk at discrimination, terrorism and bullying of queer folks. I don't think queerness is a disease or mental illness. I certainly don't think queer rape (or women on men rape) is "fictitious" or "not as damaging" as men on women rape. I'm looking at you with disdain, Doctor Mary Koss.

I also admit that I like yaoi. I like the bromance, the lacey beans (les yay) as much as I like the canonical verse, if not more.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I recently joined a site for yaoi roleplay because I didn't want to weird my "strictly straight and traditional" friends out in case they see. (Wait, do I have people like this in my circle? Maybe I should remove them? No, that's heterosexual bashing.) Plus, I really like men (more often, in my encounters), and being a genderfluid lets me feel "safe" and "honest" when I roleplay as a dude at times.

After a whole month of being part of this (yaoi) community on that forum, I can say that the majority of the fanGIRLS (WHY are they always girls??) HORRIFY me.

Since when was rape "an expression of love"? _{surprise buttsecks is sooo hawt amirite?!} Since when do butts excrete sex juices? _{look at you, you want this right, you're all wet down here... *pokes backdoor*} Since when do gay men have supernatural psychic powers of knowing who's seme/top/dom or uke/bottom/sub?

Since when do men have OVARIES??

Back to my most passionate objection: Since when was objectifying queer people okay?

"It's not meant for your demographic!!" is ... a disappointing answer, fellow fans of yaoi/yuri.

I don't even know why I'm stressed out by this. Ah, right, I hadn't realised half the roleplayers there sound homophobic once no sexy beautiful men sex is occurring, and so agreed to GM a group that I refuse to abandon "just because". Stupid. Am I a bad GM if I secretly don't respect my players outside of writing skills? Am I ... a bad person for being judgemental?

Maybe this is why I feel oddly ashamed to say, "Hey, I ship those two dudes/girls together!" because others will assume I want the canon female/male love interest to die 23 terribad ways for being in the way of TWU WUV. Damn it.

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

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

While I believe you may have posted in the wrong bitchfest thread, I do have to say:

After seeing the news of a guy in Japan killing 19 elderly people in an old folks' home, and GIGGLING SHYLY as he was escorted away by police in a van, it is beyond me how anyone can proudly say "I'm totally crazy!" as an excuse when they behave offensively - like cracking a senseless joke during a solemn discussion. (Try tentative humour, you git.)

GODZILLA ROAR -
Someone just PM'd me this 3 posts in after asking to RP with me, after sending me a RPFC (real people face claim) of a shy face:

By the way, which one of us will be playing the character who's leading everything?

some plebian on another forum I'm on

As my boyfriend suggested, I really should have just said, "I was thinking you."

Sheridan

_{^{─── Age ───}}

_{^{─── Alias ───}}

Orient

_{^{─── Appearance ───}}

-

_{^{─── Occupation ───}}

N/A

_{^{─── Reputation ───}}

"He is not a man, but a force."

the West

"A gift sent from God to purge this evil land, that lad."

a passerby townsfolk

"He's a nightmare that haunts you, awake or otherwise. Doesn't need a bounty to hunt down a name."

the outlaws

_{^{─── Early Life ───}}

Once just another Chinese labourer among thousands working on the trans-continental railways, Orient grew up never knowing his own parentage, and knowing only endless work.

Twelve hours a day, he would shift wooden sleepers, iron rails and sacks of gravel regardless of the weather.

_{^{─── Army Service ───}}

OPEN

At the age of fifteen, he escaped into the West, and instead of being chewed up and spat back out, he survived long enough to join the Federal Army once he turned eighteen.

As a soldier, he was part of the cavalry which patrolled untamed lands, fighting both Native tribes and outlaw bands. During his service, Orient distinguished himself as an excellent shot and a good soldier, one who followed orders without question and carried out his duties to the best of his abilities.

He was discharged dishonourably at twenty-two for interfering with an operation.

_{^{─── Current Day ───}}

He wanders the lawless West, using the only skills he has to do whatever good he can do. Redemption is a long and arduous road, and Orient will either find his peace, or die trying.

_{^{─── Personality ───}}

OPEN

_^[x] Quiet
Having a poor command of English, he would rather remain silent than feel embarrassed when he makes mistakes.

_^[x] Concise
He speaks in short and direct sentences.

_^[x] Straightforward
He is not one to beat about the bush when it comes to matters of any sort.

_^[x] Harsh
You will get nothing but the truth from Orient, no matter how brutal it may be, and sometimes even in two languages.

_^[x] Lonesome
He rarely stays in the same settlement long enough to form any sort of meaningful relationships.

[B]- Bloodstained Throne -[/B]

[ [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]♚[/COLOR] ][/CENTER]

[SUP]A [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]half-human, half-elven prince[/COLOR], bred and raised in his underground chamber, struggles to assimilate with his mankind siblings when his father, the king, passes away and denounces his soft quarantine. Despite the throne having been secured by the regent, the queen, he is treated with disdain and caution. With no love from a mother since birth and now father as well, he is left to fend for himself, with the support of one person: [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]his bodyguard[/COLOR], whom the king had personally tasked to "keep watch" of the half-elf since young.

When push comes to shove, after a "game" gone wrong that may very well be a staged assassination attempt, the halfblood flees the castle and searches for a new place to call home. Due to his obscured upbringing, the everyday subjects are oblivious to his identity; their unbiased treatment is a welcome. His bodyguard finds him, and together they live the slow and happy days of peasantry.

Unfortunately, blue skies are not forevermore. The nobles and soldiers are sent to collect him back - dead or alive. Why would he be pursued to the ends of the horizon if he is such an intolerable presence? The prince seeks answers alongside his loyal bodyguard as the fugitive life befalls them.[/SUP]

[HR][/HR]
[CENTER][B]- Shadows at the Hem -[/B]

[ [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]♚[/COLOR] ][/CENTER]

[SUP]A [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]human boy[/COLOR] who has been raised by a group of deacons strives to follow the footsteps of his surrogate family. During one excursion where his brothers have been sent to exterminate a fallen, [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]an imp[/COLOR] follows them back to the camp, where he begins feeding on the life essence of the oblivious boy who could not see the sprite. The boy does, however, hear "soft murmurs" and "hushed laughter" every so often, which scare him enough to keep the occurrence a secret, for fear of tall repercussions.

The boy grows frail and weak over the years, and on his twenty-first birthday, he gets the biggest surprise of his life to see his parasitic companion, who has grown into what looks to be a human, an adult man. The imp has fed enough to be tangible now.

Found to be possessed, he is denied by the Order to join their ranks and is subsequently cast out by people whom he was once close kins with. The supersized imp makes his getaway, but after an extended time, discovers that he will regress back into his tiny, pulpable form when his host is separated from him for too long.

In exchange for his life essence, the young human forces him into odd jobs of extermination of the damned and other menial work - like aiding old grannies with their stubborn jars. They form an unwilling, symbiotic duo.[/SUP]

Please refer to my Criteria and Standards list for a quick gist of what I am like, and what I am looking for. It would save us both precious time and possible grief.

Default information aside, a forenote is that I have seen a lot of characters that exhausted my optimism for an enriched roleplay experience. You can still use them, as I am guilty of incorporating these archetypes in my roleplays as well (half of them inevitable when we need more drama, after all). Just be aware that I have seen enough to spin my own 1001 Arabian Nights about my firsthand experiences. They are unwelcome only when the narration is bland and linear, really.

The clichéd tropes are:

• Jerkass with a Heart of Gold, or The Villain You Can't Hate
  
  <sup>"They can be rough around the edges and will not restrain with harsh comments, sometimes even antagonising others, vain too, but deep down they are kind to a fault. Despite how hateful they come off as, they are a loyal comrade worthy of tolerance, if not outright admiration."
  
  "He slaughtered a dozen victims, and it was later found that he was mentally unstable with the constant stream of flashbacks after his rejection by a love interest, who turned him down cruelly. Those people made fun of the exact same attribute his love interest was spurning, and so he taught them a lesson the hard way. He was ... hurting."</sup>
  .
• Let's All Be Friends!
  
  ^{"Please, stop fighting! Now stop ignoring one another. We should air the laundry and invite harmony into our lives. Can't everyone just get along? I want to see world peace ..."}
  .
• Emotionally Constipated, Fit for the Stereotypical Role
  
  ^{"Imagine a stuffy-collared profession notoriously known for uptight workers. I am such as well, in spades. In fact, it has been speculated that I skipped childhood and was born with 눈_눈 on my face."}
  .
• Death Spared Me, Survive with Guilt
  
  ^{"Something or some corporation massacred my people and I managed to escape death by a hair's breadth. As the only survivor, I need to avenge for my late family and fellow kins. Otherwise, I shouldn't have made it out alive. The way I live now is a form of punishment for being the only lucky one."}
  .
• Antisocial Butterfly
  
  ^{"I don't know why people keep flocking to me even though I have been a douchebag to them all the damn time. Maybe I'm actually some protagonist with an inherent magnet in my personality ... somewhere, somehow. I hate everyone but those oddballs just adore me."}
  .
• A Parent Died So It Changed Me Irredeemably
  
  ^{"I was a great kid, a happy child. My parents were proud of me, the neighbours loved me to bits. Then my mom died. I hated my father for not doing more to save her. I hated my neighbours for having a complete family. I couldn't cope with the loss, so I took the devil's hand and went downhill from there."}
  .
• Perfection and a Dollop of Quirk
  
  ^{"Anything I pick up, I'm just a born talent for it. Minimal effort at worst. I am not a Sue, darn you. I'm clumsy too! And stubborn! And gullible! I can't lick my elbows! See? *accidentally trips and kisses you*"}
  .
• Fearsome Badass, Fearsome Temper
  
  ^{"I am a master of weapons and a renowned disciple of mixed martial arts. Do not piss m- DID YOU JUST ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME? Cower, you moron. I guarantee you will soon forget how you ever urinated without a straw."}

All I'm getting from this is that you have an issue with Spice and Wolf, you're some kind of pedigree pug, and you stalked the site for some time before sticking out.

You're a quirky specimen. I like you.
