You fine folks are free to move your sheets into the character tab and once that's all squared away, we're going to start with our first little exercise.

Welcome to the roleplay!

To Cure a Curse

I did say there was shallow snow, but sleet as well on uneven terrain, and that it was just close to evening when they got there. But regardless, I honestly do appreciate the helpfulness, friend :) Sorry about not getting back earlier. I should reply tonight, and maybe hit ya back via PM too.

Also love the avvy.

Alright class, once I make my next post, you are then allowed to make relationship sheets. I'd like to see these done within a week after the post.

Saw some of your art on the discord, and then just clicked your DA link on the thread. I'm pretty impressed! I might take you up on a commission soon once I got some more funds, Bak. :)

Some of what you're saying I already addressed. Look. I can count on one hand how many romances my characters have had in RPs, and I do not smut. I don't plan romances either. I am saying this as an unbiased party.

I am sorry you and your friends have been mistreated. Just don't turn that into a crusade against a group of roleplayers, the majority of which haven't bothered you, based on their tastes, when you can choose to stay away from them.

<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>

I care. Because "not being comfortable" is not an excuse when your partner's gender doesn't actually change anything. Would it be equally excusable if I said I wouldn't RP with anyone who is not white? If I said "no Muslims" in my rules? "Christians only?" If I said "no fags?" I mean, gays can't write straight romances, right? What about "no one over 30?" (BTW, these are all examples of ACTUAL 'preferences' I have seen on this site. Are these okay?)

Then why is "no guys" okay? Or "male players only"?

You can absolutely judge people into realizing that their thought process is flawed. I have seen it happen many times before. That's why this discussion is so important. I would even go so far as to say that the very act of putting these rules in an RP IS being an ass about it. And it often turns out that people who do this have ulterior motives, like using RP as a means of getting personally close to people. I have seen that happen too. It's naive to write all this off as "just how people see things".

@Drache

The reason why "no guys" or "no girls" is a thing is based on cultural and sexual preferences. You don't need to be wanting a date or wanting to find sexual satisfaction for you to not be comfortable writing a romance with another guy if you're straight. Some people find it weird.

Now, if you're having a great time writing with someone and THEN their gender is discovered and you start being an ass, I can see how you'd judge or be salty. But people don't like being intimate, even in a creative sense, with certain genders. Mostly because even if you're not dating them, writing is often relaying personal experiences on paper. You're sharing things with someone you wouldn't normally. Judging them wont change how they feel on that.

Roze has this. I can feel it.

I don't think it's sexism for a female person having an easier time writing for female characters because she herself is female. I'm a novelist and I write for female characters quite well, but it'd be ignorant of me to dismiss a female's critique on if I write them odd in any way because "wow we're NO different."

Men and Women are equal, but they do have different body chemistries and different experiences based upon their physical sex which gives them a perspective that is inherently different from the other.

However, I don't think that's what the thread is about. It's about whether someone is comfortable playing with a male who plays as a female, or vice versa. Honestly? Who cares. If someone is comfortable with that, cool. If they aren't, you can't guilt trip them or judge them into being comfortable. They cannot help it. It's how they see things, and at the end of the day, the role play guild is escapism. As long as they aren't being an ass about it, don't be an ass to them on what they do and do not enjoy. Roleplay with someone else.
