On a tangential note, engaging in these conversations over the past couple months has made me realize that I have a pretty stark difference between what I'm willing to read/be an audience to vs. what I'm willing to plot/participate in a scene as, and I can't think of any system of safety tools (in either the online rpg space or the ttrpg space) that is particularly effective at distinguishing the two short of "please have a conversation about it on a case-by-case basis every single time."

(Like, it's not just smut, but for the sake of argument let's say it's smut. It feels somewhat disingenuous to write "nothing" under my "please warn" when I know I will never be up for writing smut, but at the same time, surely no one would actually pitch a smut thread at me if they didn't already know me and my preferences very well, on account of wanting to avoid above-mentioned shaming?)

and it's something that's genuinely "ic =/= ooc".


Ok but, realistically, how many people are up to doing this?

I think it's a natural and human reaction to say "If you, random internet person, enthusiastically enjoy writing [thing that is my ick], then I have a low opinion of your taste in general and I don't want to write with you or read anything you write." (I am someone who generally is not bothered by disturbing fictional content, who is well aware of the existence of the "block" button if there are members I wish to disengage from entirely with a minimum of drama - and I definitely don't trust the vast majority of people in my rp servers with the "uncensored version" of all the scenarios I imagine placing my ocs in.)

Maybe it's different if you're already good friends irl, you trust each other not to cross boundaries, you know that they are a whole person whose personality encompasses more than the most controversial topics they want to plot out. But the majority of us aren't going to have that context, which I imagine is why a lot of admins put hard bans on certain topics on their sites in the first place.

i did read insight on how heterosexual men culture is very male-loving and it's too true


ok but, arcane season 2, please

"Sleeping with a woman? What-ever. Breaking your principles because it's the only way to save your best friend's life? Now that is an act of true love"

Late at night when I have way too many owed in the queue and I won't sleep until it's 3am and they're all done.

For some reason I can never seem to knuckle down and focus during standard business hours.

Anyone have a dad who writes in all caps?


YES I DO

and it's weird, he's never been in the military either. I used to write checks (in the bygone days when we still wrote checks) the same way just based on watching him do it

I also draw a distinction between "rp friends" and "friends"

like yes I will have multi hour conversations with you where we collectively sob over our ocs' trauma that I've literally never told anyone else, but if I wouldn't tell you my real name or invite you to my house (and wouldn't expect the same from you), can we really call ourselves friends?
