My Very Brief Bio

Male, 33 years old. (I'm even more dead than before.)

Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)

But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)

My 1X1 Interest Check: SleepingSilence's Tavern (Want 1x1 RP's? Please come in.)


Hope you have a wonderful day!

@Rain I'm not quite sure what you mean but I'm pretty sure if you purposely limit yourself to any style of role-playing it will limit the amount of fun you have.
@Ace of HeartsTo avoid going into the weeds I'll just wish you a good day. And say i have slightly different views. But those views allow all to share their opinions freely. Happy easter everyone. :P
@Morden ManOne minor point though 'SJW' is a internet insult that is beyond overused to the point its a joke within a joke. Like everything on internet becomes. SJW is a term they actually call themselves (as a positive thing) too...Though I never exactly wanted to get in a bs political discussion on a roleplaying forum. -.-

From the wikipedia article.

"An SJWis a pejorative term for a person expressing or promoting socially progressive views, including advocacy for women's rights and civil rights. The phrase originated as a laudatory term for those engaged in social justice."

Usually this means being aware of the shitty things that people, including yourself, do even unknowingly. It also means thinking of the feelings of other people and how they might react to something. This is why trigger warnings, as an example, exist, so people aren't going into something blind that has the capacity to harm them in some way.

<Snipped quote by SleepingSilence>

"throwing out blanket statements that all gamers were rasict and sexist."

If gamers want to stop acting sexist and racist there'd be no reason to make such statements.

"And thats the main thing they 'stand for' overall"

If you think social justice is all about video games you have a narrow world view.

"Usually trying to call out what they see or who they see as evil for political diffrences or whats sexist and rascist and getting it change through complaints or demanding censorship or limits to free speech."

Opinions can be wrong, freedom of speech is overrated, and you bet your ass hate-speeches and any kind of vitriolic nonsense that espouses hate should be illegal.

As an example, making fun of trigger warnings is a very shitty thing to do, as they literally exist to warn people of content that could easily bring back strong negative emotions that can adversely effect someone's mental health.


...I don't even know where to begin. I said calling everyone and everything sexist or rasict. Is there point. Not video games. And saying freedom of speech is overrated...now I can't tell if I'm being trolled. -.- *goes to cry in corner*
@Wick It stands for 'social justice warrior' it started being popular around the time gamergate started (partly though not entirely for) thousands throwing out blanket statements that all gamers were rasict and sexist. And thats the main thing they 'stand for' overall. Usually trying to call out what they see or who they see as evil for political diffrences or whats sexist and rascist and getting it change through complaints or demanding censorship or limits to free speech. (Depending on who you ask. It could literally be everything.) I wont try to demonize everyone under it but in general its politically the extremist left. It's biggest oppenents, Usually are liberals or less extreme left figuring their desire to ban or censor free speech more often than not is making the left look bad. Im sure youll have differing opinions on exactly "what it is" I'd send you links but I have no PC since I'm with my parents for Easter.
@Ace of HeartsIf your trying to deny people like don't exist i dont know what to say. XP (though is it offensive tthat actually have cancer to mention it sarcastic. :P) If one thing is too far, every other thing can be to. Just keep in mind the humorless wont fucking survive this world.
<Snipped quote by SleepingSilence>

This post gave me cancer.


This triggered me. :P
I'm in so many RP's already...but so tempting. If it's going to be more casual it might be fine...<.<...>.> (pencil in some interest.) I'll be gone for a few days though for Easter. As for which plot, I'd prefer it having the least to do with anything that's already happened. So plot 1 or 2 sounds fine to me. (though I like 2 more.)
I used to love reading other people's roleplays, now not so much. Too focused on my own. But I do usually read it to my roommate who enjoys shaking his head at how absurd some of my RP'S can get, got plenty of good inside jokes out of it. :P
