Why are prople so Triggered...

[Ryaz]

I think it's more those who sexually fetishize their female character too much that turns some people off. For example, my FC has a few guys who play females. Most of them, it's no big deal. They may dress them in lewd outfits, but it stops there for the most part (though even that has the connotations of reducing women to a sexual object).

One player tends to RP their character a bit too much like a cat girl in heat and is often found over on Balmung ERPing. It can come off as a bit off putting at times as we've had irl female players ignore him or threaten to leave the FC because they feel harrassed by him when he gets into it too much. This can understandably lead to people being creeped out.

Personally, I don't care what people play as long as they're respectful to others.

I wonder if anyone else noticed the typo in the thread title, because I only just saw it.

This has no particular relevance, just making an observation.

I know this isn\\'t the topic at hand, but it always makes me giggle when females correct people when they\\'ve used a masculine pronoun for them. OK I totally get it...if it\\'s that important to you, by all means please correct the person, but I can\\'t help but think they just want to have special recognition because OMG FEMALE ON THE INTERNET, lets swoon and give them things!

There are definitely conversations where it may be relevant to the conversation going on, but it\\'s almost always first thought when I see that:X

It's because I don't want people assuming I'm a dude, you absolute walnut.


(Yeah, I bit at the bait. I know.)

Did you just assume they were a walnut? Seems like a double standard.

Joking aside that is fair position.

I didn't realize expressing an opinion was bait, but OK.

no, only noticed now, I must have changed the timeline because there was no typo in the past.

"At times"?

[Theodric]

Stuff like that was what pushed me away from Balmung.

It's unfortunately pretty common.

Daphne and Cassie don't spawn in Eureka when lots of Balmung players are there for a reason.

Doing it once would be a little weird, but doing it consistently. There's something else going on here...

I have heard scary stories about that server. The most I ever experienced of "ERP" was when I was on Hyperion, and there was this advertisement up all the time for it.
