@Ghost said in We Need a Game Set In the Roman Empire.:

The last game set in a Roman Empire era/setting had a shitload of rape, forced character pregnancies, and when you mention that game's name on this forum, people flee, close doors, lock windows, and speak in bad English things like "yooo musss go now. Yooo go back home. You stay away. Isss Vam-peeeer."

I put it at a 65-75% chance that if another Roman Empire setting game opens, plenty of people who enjoyed Firan will show up to roleplay some of the same, theme-enforced misogyny.

Huh, I was honestly expecting people to declare Shang as being the definitive reason why this should not be done - for a lot of the same reasons you have cited in this post, even.

As an aside, I'm glad we've reached that point in MU*ing where we can finally start calling people out for being misogynistic.

Fifteen years ago, people would laugh in your face if you said such a thing. It was the wild west. People would call you a whore bitch cunt to your face and then laugh about it.

@Ghost

I was also thinking about this form of misogyny. Stop me if you've heard it before.

"Uggggh. How dare she make a character with big breasts and scanty clothing and heavy makeup. What a fucking slut. Fuck this fire-pussy bitch so much, right now. Anyone who makes women characters with big tits and flirty attitiudes is WHAT IS WRONG WITH MUs.

Generally speaking, the attitude towards women used to be quite terrible.

@Catsmeow said in Mental Health and Grown Up Stuff:

NO! @Julia-Cornelia NO!

You leave this thread and go troll the others.

I banish the with the power of NO.

God, chill the fuck out, I deal with enough people screaming at me in real life.

Has this been done yet?

It could even be a WoD game. It would make a fucking awesome WoD setting, even!

When you run into a new player and they start feeling your character's bosoms over pages.

I love it, it's totally rad.

I indulge people with this all the time, especially since 80% of the male character who do this to me are hot muscular studs. I am usually receptive to h all the touchy-feeliness people get up to.

And, yes, a few buoyant and attractive female characters do the same. I recall one woman who immediately grabbed my character's butt-cheeks.

@Arkandel

I was making a point. What drugs do you use? Answer the friggin' question, dude, we're all adults here. I'm smoking weed right now and just drank a Michelob. It's a simple question that anyone can answer, I don't see why you've got to make a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical song-and-dance number about it.

Caffeine is a drug, too.

Or are you gonna be coy and be like "Oh, I don't use drugs. [wipes powder from nose, sniffles, Trump-style]"

In which case, whatever, man.

A lot of people who MU* appear to be fundamentally broken.

Myself included. I've been thinking about getting therapy.

@Arkandel

No, well, you said that you tend to write YUGE poses.

And I was saying - partly from personal experience, and partly from being around people who use meth, adderall, and other stimulants - that you're on drugs that make you belch out lots of words.

To be fair, you could also be on MDMA or 2CB. Nevermind that now - what drugs - legal or otherwise - do you use in order to facilitate your lengthy poses?

@Arkandel
What kind of stimulant drugs do you do in order to belch out so much prose?

Adderall? Meth?

I'm gonna assume meth-fueled rants unless you indicate otherwise.
