@Caryatid said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:

I would love to be able to play a male character whose story gets me as excited as my ladies' stories do.

You make a guy; I'll make a girl.

We are magic. It's sort of stupid.

@Tinuviel said in MU Things I Love:

Please. Even I have standards.

@Auspice said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

That is pretty much where my sister is at.

I am going to parrot what I said in another thread: watching girls growing up to become women is fucking painful as shit, and I ain't got no patience for it.

I'm glad I didn't have a sister. My partner's next-youngest is a crabby, needy bitch. My partner's youngest is pretty cool, but she's pretty much a dude with boobs.

@Pandora said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

People that joyfully, proudly proclaim their disdain and loathing for all of mankind - while trying to be friends/curry favor with everyone. Don't rep that life if you aren't about that life, you might cut yourself on your own edginess.

Disdaining and loathing all of mankind makes you as interesting as a pond rock.

@Tinuviel

Didn’t realize you were into coprophilia.

Is the Division 2 the same grind that the Division was? Like, that’s sort of how I felt about it, when it came to the hardware you could pick up.

@Rinel

She did change, yes. And I understand that she had every right to want to experience the parts of growing up she missed out on.

I guess I am expressing my opinion that watching girls growing into women can be really fucking annoying.

@Kestrel said in Intersectional MU* Community - Discussion:

That depends on the extent and the perceived intention. Step one is generally a friendly discussion explaining why that thing was bad and asking nicely to knock it off. Step two, you can leave.

Suppose for a moment a poster says something defamatory about a game. Another member speaks out against it. An argument arises. How do you address the allegedly defamatory statement? What about the speaker and the defender?

@Sparks said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:

I will admit I didn't consider that part the "love story"—rather the aftermath—but I can see some people meaning that when they refer to it as the 'love story'. And hey, if it's a sustainable relationship, that's great! Those are the best kinds!

I concur with you that a lot of RPers think that the "love story" ends with the consummation of the relationship, but most of us old farts understand that this is just the beginning of either a very sweet ride or a shitstorm of ugly drama. That's life.

I like the long, slow burn for relationships. Probably why I can't find any for my PCs.

@Sparks

I think it depends on what your definition of a love story is.

I really enjoy a good love story, but it's not the getting together that means the most. It's the trial and tribulations that happen during or after the relationship that makes it worthwhile.

There's the fun of stupid moments in public. There's the fun of tender moments in private. And there's also the fun of having another PC and player that you can have one-on-one scenes with doing whatever happens to be within the setting.

It doesn't have to be sexy times all the time. It's nice to have someone that you can RP with from time to time on a consistent basis, and have a reason to interact with.

I miss my relationships.

@Kestrel

What about games that do not have a presence in your group? Will discussion about those games remain positive? If so, what steps will be taken to ensure that discussion remains positive? What repercussions are there for violating the group’s rules?

@Sparks said in RL things I love:

You know that scene in The Man from UNCLE while infiltrating the factory, where Solo just looks over at Kuryakin and asks in a bewildered and plaintive tone, "...why?"

Flyers fans have to have something to look forward to.

(Yes, I will continue to zing if I can zing because hockey is my jam.)

@Sparks said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:

Not as often, but yes. More often it's "it might be in your head; have you thought about seeing a therapist?"

My partner saw one, actually. It didn't really change anything.

We're still together, even though I'm a raging slut. She's gotten used to it, and sort of rolls her eyes. I could rail about how I sometimes feel like I've lost the prime of my sexual years, but frankly I've gotten very comfortable not having the pressure to perform with her.

I accept things readily, which might be why I gravitate towards the Lancea et Sanctum consistently.

@Kanye-Qwest said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:

some women absolutely do. Some people can't read a room. Some people really like fashion.

This is a fair conclusion.

I am biased.

I hate everyone.

@saosmash said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:

Like, sorry for double post, but to clarify, my point was more that manic pixie dreamgirl is one of those tropes that is definitely popularized based on its relevance to MEN, and I don't doubt that dudes playing lesbians often think they are being "chic" about this, but I've seen female players fall into the same trap.

My transgender friend fell into the same trap, and it was pretty fucking annoying. Like, yeah, I accept that you are a woman, but grown-ass women don't traipse about yammering about dress cuts and purses in polite company.

I mean, often.

Shit.

@Wretched

PS4? Yes, please.

@Aria said in RL things I love:

(I invited Gritty to our wedding.)

Well, at least some part of the Flyers organization will be doing something when the regular season ends.

@Alamias said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:

Hey, it was one sexy sofa. All soft Corinthian leather with overstuffed cushions.

@Alamias said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:

Now I know that isn't true. Maybe not try very hard, but I know at least one that tried nonchalantly.

Ripley didn't respond to Kaleb because she saw him hitting on everything, including the sofa.

But in retrospect, my male PCs found it a lot easier to get action. Then again, I've been told I have a way with playing male PCs, I don't know.
