the masses thirst for the smallest drop of wank

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.

No, I read it correctly. They're very proud they're not a successful working adult. Tragic, but hilarious.

people come to the rp woes thread for advice all the time

there is literally an entire thread above where people have vented a woe, someone offered advice, and the response was either "thanks i'll try that" or "that won't work for me but thanks"

THIS is the only thread where someone decided that advice meant they weren't allowed to feel annoyed

exactly. some of us let things go and move on/have self-confidence.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
yes but this thread is about making plans with people who have thrown up an anonymous ad

my knitting group is not a faceless stranger who threw up an anonymous ad

they would be people i have regular interactions with

they are different things

surprised and confused this is even an argument, only little kids make plans and flake without a word and think they're in the right.

like you don't HAVE to tell someone you're not doing an activity you planned together, but not doing so DOES mean you're in the wrong. it's just basic social math.

if you're already dming them to set up a psl then why the fuck is another dm somehow impossible

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
>they would be people i have regular interactions with

so? they aren't your friends. which is the whole argument anon is making. apparently using manners on anyone that isn't your loved ones makes you "overinvested"

"We're all old now" =/= "there is no need to communicate with people ever"

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
buddy, there is a huge difference between a real world obligation that has people planning to meet in a location and do a certain thing and an online hobby that you can do while you're taking a shit and scooping your cat litter. you're in your home. you're waiting online. you can do fifty things while waiting for a psl. and even if they show up, it's not like it'll be a whole block of time that you have them for, like a rl knitting group. you might only get one whole tag. a week. you can tag back any time.

but you're going to equate a real world timed meet up event with refreshing your inbox? just go find someone else. or watch a show. or write some fanfic. it's not that deep, dude.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
of course! i take my time seriously. i'd just never spend time on them again. it's not that deep. people who value you, will show that.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
i don't think that's what anon is saying at all. I think you're conflating the arguments of multiple anons and imposing your own bias on what they're saying.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
it's also not that deep to think that communicating with other adults should be the default, not something people should go to great lengths to explain why no one does that ever.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
then DON'T ADVERTISE FOR PSLS?

if you have no intent of following through on psls you advertise for if someone isn't your friend, GO AWAY and ONLY PLAY WITH FRIENDS.

i capitalized the parts that you seem to not get.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
>i would not mind if someone who i literally did not know, [...] didn't show up to a cafe that we decided to meet up at.

you also changed the subject

it's not about showing up. it's fine for the person not to show up (or not to want to rp)

we're talking about the fact they didn't cancel and you were left there for an hour

anyone who says getting a cancel text and being left waiting are the same are full of bullshit.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
i have eighteen other psls going. i don't always remember what doesn't work for me. i've also had people drop things mid-thread and never tag again. and i move on, because you're investing too much personal emotional attachment into something that is ephemeral.

this comment makes no sense when combined with anything else you've said

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
anon literally said "if you're not friends"

it's the comment i replied to

Re: RP WOES

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
i mean, the advice given in this thread was "just don't feel annoyed about it"

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
bro they might BE playing with people who aren't their friends.

they're just not playing with YOU.

Re: +1

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
so now people have no self-confidence if they expect the very lowest bar of communication?

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
anon i think you hit the nail on the head. people are afraid of confronting the fact that their mediocre work doesn't attract people to continue with them. we all have many things going at once, there's very little time and space for bkst randoms who want a full testimony about why their bakugo is mid.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
what makes you think you're the only one they accepted? maybe your attitude in dms shines through, like it does here, and they opted to avoid the you-shaped headache.

Re: RP WOES

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
it literally was not

anons were saying what they do to practice feeling better about their disappointment

if that's what you're getting out of their advice then you ARE overattached and maybe need to consider some independent hobbies in addition to rp

(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
found the person who's dropping everyone in every rpanons woe thread, probably
