What is your view on RP or ERP and why is it so taboo within the community?

[Driavna]

I don't agree with you. For certain scenarios sure, but those are not that common and more often than not you can skip them without any real consequence to the plot. Also, in my own experience since Neverwinter times, people use it as an outlet to have some cyber sex (nothing wrong with it) and is described in a totally unnatural way so you can tell that the person doesn't have any real experience so it's even more jarring and uninteresting (like 50 shadows of something).

Today in a lot of shows the sex scenes don't add anything to the plot and are there to lure people to watch it, good recent examples are GoT or Spartaco. A few erotic scenes in those shows are really necessary.

If we talk only about RP, and the reason I stopped doing it after my own experiences with Neverwinter, without a DM setting the rules and keeping everyone in check it will turn into an ego fest full of Mery Sues (or the other extreme, full of inconsequential characters) that ignore the world lore and rules left and right.
