🚒// I think it's a problem of people being selective and people wonder why some are turning to ais to write with. Keep trying to reach out to people
"Nobody wants to write with me. "I’ve been here quite awhile and I mostly do OCs. So far nothing. People here hate my writer so I get avoided like I got a disease or something worse. I did nothing wrong. "How can I get more interactions and less …" #RPGripes #RPCommunity
"It’s hard to write with anyone when they all avoid you. "It only takes one person disliking you and, suddenly, you’re the bad guy. It’s getting ridiculous! I don’t cause drama, but no one will try to write or even chat with me! "How can I get …!" #RPGripes #RPCommunity

"I don’t care if someone deactivates their account after a month, when the hype of a movie or TV show dies. "Just don’t be an @$$hole to people just because you got five minutes of attention. That’s all I’m saying." #RPGripes #RPCommunity
"People think I’m problematic, but I just write and stay in my lane. "I rarely socialize or bug anyone. I respect other writers and don't cause drama. So why the hate? I wish people would give me a chance instead of assuming the worst." #RPGripes #RPCommunity
🚒// This we are not sex slaves!
"Honestly, stop being weird or gross to female writers. "We’re not toys. Don’t force ships or lewd stuff. It’s invasive and makes us uncomfortable. It's harassment. Respect our space. A lot of us deactivate because of this." #RPGripes #RPCommunity

Maybe you’re the problem in your own scenario. It can’t be everyone else.
"Role play hasn’t gotten better here at all. "People still hate my writer. It’s getting ridiculous. I did nothing wrong; I’m a nice person. "When are people here going to quit thinking I’m problematic?" #RPGripes #RPCommunity
This is probably why they no longer like you. Lmao
"It’s been 4–5 years and people still hate on my writer for no reason. "I used to get follows and interactions—now it’s all soft- or full-blocks, all because someone called me 'problematic.' I have a right to be here too. I’m not leaving. Get used to it." #RPGripes #RPCommunity
Why bitch about it?! Trash taking itself out.
"I’m so sick of being blocked over lies. "I never harassed anyone or disrespected writers. My fiancé did nothing wrong either. We write with a few friends, cause no drama, and mind our business. We’ve done nothing disgusting. When is this going to …" #RPGripes #RPCommunity
blueheartedღ.⠀ Rant time. I can't believe this is still happening. YOU didn't help the person create the account and YOU don't have the right to say what a person can or can't do with their own characters. Block and mute existed for a reason! Use it!
"People are quick to cancel RPers who write dark characters (serial killers, etc.). "Dark RP has been around for years—heavy themes, sure, but with boundaries. Don’t like it? Block and move on. "Not every RP is meant to be soft. Writers aren’t their …" #RPGripes #RPCommunity
/ The block & mute buttons exist for a reason. Can't handle blood or anything of sorts? Buh-bye, the door's right there. This character is a cannibal and will stay as one. I'm not toning him down.

OOC~ “ Most my characters are not really dark but it is a dark theme suspenseful drama mostly OC! Wish people here wouldn’t hate OCs either!”

// people deserve chances, up to a point. If you dont like them that's fine but dont gatekeep them from a whole fandom unless they've done something downright heinous. Some of yall egos get in the way and forget that we're all human

"I hate when people treat dark RP like it reflects who you are, or bring up things you’ve stopped doing just to get others to block you – without ever hearing your side. "Worse are the hypocrites who attack anyone asking for proof. RP should be a …" #RPGripes #RPCommunity
{ people who use ai can suck my ass. the rest of the post is valid. but don't use ai. that's lazy as fuck and it kills the planet. }
"RP used to push limits—dark themes, death, real romance—without just smut. "Now it’s all lazy smut, callouts, politics, drama. People whine about AI but don’t change. This is why others leave for Discord, Bluesky, or turn to AI like Character AI or …" #RPGripes #RPCommunity
#OOC had this happen to me before and seen others do it to other rpers. People who can't get a storyline of their own and find a way to make your storyline theirs.
"I can't stand it when I'm role-playing with someone and then someone else jumps into our roleplay without consent." #RPGripe #RPCommunity
