[@SilentWriter83] I personally wouldn't take it so personally since the guy who made that message has his head so far up his own ass that he could give himself a colonoscopy.

I've seen so much crap in the status bar in the past minute and I just need to type this out. So apparently there's no realism in rp anymore because a lot of characters are gay/bisexual and that used to not be the case. Perhaps that is because times are changing and having a non-hetero sexuality is more accepted. You can also explore your sexuality in a nonphysical way through rp which may help people. We're all different and just because all of your friends are straight doesn't mean everyones friends were straight. All of my friends in hs were in the LGBTQ community or exploring it so your argument on this is now invalid. Idk whatever.

I agree with most of this. I already spoke my piece in the status bar, but plenty of my own characters are bisexual (I should make less bi characters, and more straight up gay characters lol). I just hate it when it stops seeming like you're exploring their sexuality, and just start fetishizing.

Dark/gritty rp's aren't 'realism' because why? It's not your reality? Have you ever sat back and realized that your reality is not my reality. My reality does not pertain to another persons reality. Maybe they have a dark life, and to cope they make dark rp's where their character is saved or is doing the saving because they want or need someone to save them. It may not be your reality but its someone's reality so realism SUPER subjective here.[/quote]



Well, I do agree that particular status message could have been worded better, because edgy =/= realism.

I do like a dark RP long as it isn't obnoxious... the two don't really go hand-in-hand.
