I wasn’t going to add anything here but fuck it. Can we talk about guilt for a moment? Because really, that’s what this confession’s doing. It’s aimed at guilting people who maybe can’t roleplay with everyone that wants them, or who have standards about who they rp with for not being open to everyone. And really, it’s not just this confession. Lately it seems like the RP community on tumblr has changed to be something that’s aimedat guilting people into doing what you want them to do, and that’s wrong.
There are a variety of reasons why someone might not want to roleplay with you, and you need to respect that. If they’re not a mutual with you, there’s probably a reason. It could not even be you. More likely than not, they just don’t like the character or know nothing about the fandom. And really, that’s nothing that either party can be blamed for. And if it does have something to do with you? That’s alright. They have that right, just like youhave the right to unfollow them if it bugs you that much. Because really, it’s as simple as that. If you don’t like what someone’s doing with their blog, unfollow them.
I’ve seen so many posts like this where, instead of manning up and improving their own writing and blog or getting the fuck over it, people play the victim and guilteveryone that they want to roleplay with. And really, if you’re doing that, then you’ve found your reason why they don’t want to roleplay with you. Guilt is a terrible emotion, especially when it’s over something where the guilty party has done nothing wrong. It puts people in a damned if you do damned if you don’t scenario, where if you write like crap, you’re not proud of what you’re doing, and if you improve and enjoy your writing, people hate you for it. And that is w r o n g on so many levels.
Guilt isn’t a tool for you to use because you’re a bit butthurt.
People can do whatever they want on their own blogs.
