Sexual themes in roleplay
-
Whoa there, EVERYONE thinks meeting scenes are necessary to RP.
What reaction do people have to players who post RP prefs, or at least things to avoid, somewhere like their +finger or Wiki or in specific rp-prefs code?
I'm better with lists of what they don't want. Lists of requirements somehow manage to come off as elitist or similar.

I'm about 90% sure that the compiled list would pretty much cover everything people roleplay. Everything.
This means that in HR's world, we all have at least 10% in common.

It's more than I expected. Unless that 10% is "we are all horrible assholes" in which case it's exactly what I expected, just a little more percentage attributed to assholes than I thought.

I didn't say we'd cross off 90% of stuff, thus leaving 10% behind, just that I'm only 90% sure we'd cross off 100% of everything anyone does on these games. The 10% is just my not being infallible so it's always possible SOMETHING could slip through, but I'd be shocked if it were more than 1%. 10% would require some kind of Julian May style mental harmony that will never happen.
For everybody who recoils with shock and disgust from 'rape roleplay', there are people who'd take that and its ensuing drama any day of the week over slice of life shit where nothing but soap opera scenes happen, and there's people who'd gladly have either of those rather than participate in a plot where the ST fudges dice/outcomes, so on and so forth.
Every time somebody acts like some topic should be taboo in roleplay, or like they can't understand why anyone would ever, my eyes threaten to roll out of my head. I mean, for fucks sake enough people read and loved both Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey to make them pop culture icons in both print and on screen. I may be disgusted with those responsible for both, but apparently those are things people enjoy. Does it say anything about them? Maybe. It might say a lot of things. Without knowing a person better I can't really say what outside of them having terrible taste. I feel the same way about people who encourage STs to fudge dice in their scenes.

100% - 90% = 10%, duh.
(Joke with Raptor. It's super-effective.)
Yeah, I know what you meant, frat-boy.There was a game, Metro perhaps, which had a specific category for "Victim RP" where you could pull out an NPC just to be messed with and, well, victimized. It makes my skin crawl, but I can't deny that it was quite popular.
