You'll always have anons

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

This article provides a good summary of the allegations: https://www.themarysue.com/vivziepop-controversy-explained/

tl;dr the controversial comments and takes (regarding the transphobia, not sure about the racism other drawing fanart for questionable individuals) did happen, but she has since apologized and there haven't been any similar incidents for years.

Just to be clear, people are well within their rights to avoid her for this reason, or any other reason. But she owned up to it and she's actually introduced trans characters voiced by trans actors, so as a LGBT+ person myself I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Which again, not everyone is willing to do, and that's completely understandable.

Looking at the 'apology' that The Mary Sue linked and... this doesn't read like much of an apology, lmao. Like I kept expecting there to be a link to an actual apology somewhere, but this is just an angry self-defensive rant (and for the record I don't think she has no reason to be self-defensive and angry, but she doesn't really ever apologize for past transphobia anywhere in it? So it's weird to see it called an apology.)

Yeah, this sucks as an apology. For me, the issue wasn't that she drew cringe art for someone but because she said transphobic shit about trans men.

Also, this kind of angry rant where someone acts like it's everyone else's fault that negativity finds its way to them as a consequence for their shitty behavior is a bad look all around. Anyone who says they were just trying to hear all sides to form their political opinion is bullshit when one side wants fascism and trans people dead and the other side wants basic human rights.

That's a fair take (same for ayrt). I don't think anyone is saying you can't dislike the canon or the creator, just to let people play and discuss in their own corner without being shamed for it. All of these characters should have an opt-out available for... obvious reasons, and I'd respect anyone who doesn't want to deal with any of it period.

agreed. the series itself perpetuates stereotypes that are just lame and contrived atp
