@Arkandel, your post...
@ThatGuyThere No way. Every time I delve into youtube I lose my faith in humanity.
The outright racist, hateful things there... they're not even pretending to be decent human beings. N-bombs at each other, fat shaming, open homophobia... and over literally anything. It can be a random completely uncontroversial interview for a movie and WHAM full-on racism.
...and your sig line...
He who takes offense when not intended is a fool. He who takes offense when intended is a greater fool.
...make me confused.

@Rook I reserve the right to be arbitrarily hypocritical. This is MSB.
Edit: Also I'm already a fool. Ask anyone.

@Rook

This reminds me. How do you feel about revealing things about the character through narration and not in any visible ways? For example: "Bob sits down and grows silent. Ever since he returned from the war he's been reserved in social settings with people he doesn't know well. He lifts his glass and...".
I do this mainly when I'm filling in details that the other character would likely know, but the player might not. As an example, if my character and theirs have known each other for 20 years, and something my character does is likely to be familiar to them, or carry some significant meaning.

I literally buy Telepathy to at least 2 just to be able to respond to that sort of thoughtposing.
Alas, this is probably less easy if you aren't playing a PC type capable of learning it or something equivalent.
