Addendum to my last journal...
14 years ago
Just because there is some confusion going on in this journal here, I'd like to clarify. I decided to make a new journal just so those who have already peeked at my last journal won't miss this.
1. I don't RP anymore.I used to but given how relationship-centric RP seems to be these days, I don't care to involve myself in that sort of thing anymore. I also get incredibly irritated at people who Godmod or add all of these "special snowflake" abilities (like reading minds and being able to control people, etc.) that make RPing not fun and boring. So no, I don't RP.
What I was speaking to with regards to the RP issue is that a lot of furs "RP" in comments and in livestreams and direct these actions at me. I am okay with most of the non touchy stuff (e.g. "-claps excitedly over the awesome picture-") but most of these actions are invading my comfort zone (like "-licks you-") and I would like those things to stop.
and
2. I don't care if you are a baby fur and want to RP as a baby fur. I am cool with you being you. What I am not cool with is you speaking like a child to me out of character when I know you are fully capable of speaking like an adult. I know you don't speak like a baby fur at work and I'd like to hope you don't speak like a baby fur around your family and real life friends. If I was RPing with you (assuming that I RPed of course), that would be a different situation and I would be completely OK with you embodying your fursona... but when I am trying to have a conversation with you as an adult and a real life individual out of character, I expect you to talk like an adult with me. If you speak like a child, I automatically am less interested in your point of view because I cannot take you seriously and I cannot take you as an educated individual when you say things like "pwease." I am not trying to say I am not okay with you being a baby fur or that I am not okay with you RPing as a baby fur... what I am trying to say is that if you want me to listen to you and respect your opinions and ideas as an individual in the real world, you should stop trying to portray yourself as a child around me when I know you are not.
Hopefully that clarifies a few things...

It's of the fact that I run into RP that is really centralized around romance, relationships, sex or fetishes.
What I'm really craving, is adventure, depth, character development and story.
When my friends and I play DnD, my well thought out character, with a great backstory, is often wiped off the map because he didn't power-game correctly enough to survive.
Yes, combat is great and all that, but it's all about the story!
skyrim FTW
I don't RP because I don't have the time for it anymore. It's hard to think back when I was in highschool and that was almost all I did, but even then the amount of superior know-it-all type characters didn't seem to be such a huge issue. I always prided in giving my characters weaknesses because I found it fun to have those exploited in story and what not. I thought that was what character development is all about. Ahhh well.
Hopefully your journal-er...s will give people more of an insight on how you wish to be treated. :)
P.S. AGH THE PINK IS SO HARD TO READ.
Are there really people who are stupid enough to do that?
