Also, if folks are tired of the corporate-ness of the WWE, I strongly recommend taking a good long look at AEW. Cody and the Young Bucks have filled the roster with a TON of indie talent.
I'm hoping now that the Lucha Underground fuckery is done AEW will get Joey Ryan and Ivelisse.

@Ghost I still remember the first time I saw her on NXT. I was still fawning over Alexa Bliss, and then I saw Becky in her feud with Sasha Banks and she definitely made me take notice. Now she's done it to the whole Universe.
Yeah.
Sadly, I doubt she'll win the belt this weekend because it would be too obviously giving in to what the fans want, so I expect some shenanigans. It'll be a fun match, no doubt.
Thatsfuckingamazing.
I'm gonna spread this hot fact everywhere.
Sigh.
Becky Lynch is like...the best thing right now.
Dreamy-sigh that is. She's so great.
@Insomnia WAT.
PROOF NOW. I AM INTRIGUED.
@Arkandel My SOs family tried to suck us into that. Shudder.
@Auspice Motherfucker.
You ironically post that right as I'm texted and asked to pick up cat litter on my way home.
Could you imagine asking your spouse after hooking up:
Hey, since we are finished I thought I'd give you a survey and you could rate my performance. I need to meet my KPIs.
Does <Dude> fulfill your sexual needs(check one)
And if you don't get a 3.5 average monthly review you're placed on probation.
I like the idea of a stable of all-Douchebag Johnny Cage approved movie martial artists with sponsorships.

@Auspice Most people with large salaries are always one bad year away from being an hourly wage slave. I wish more people at that level acknowledged that.
The number of people I know with college degrees who got sick or had some other life event that got them let go and can't find their way back into their old field is pretty high.
@Auspice I could start a gofundme for "The other Ghost hanging around in Texas" tour.

It's not coded; it's koded.
Unless it's names, like Cassie Cage and Ermac and Scorpion and, lolololololol, Jacqie which I feel they specifically did to give the whole k thing the finger, lol.
Korrekt! We kan skratch them off the list.

A MK MU would be both the best and worst game for players who don't like character death:
Plus Side: Your character could be shot 18 times, lose 6 gallons of blood, 3 spinal fractures, their skull imploded, 32 separate 3rd degree burns, and have their skull imploded again...and not only still win, but celebrate it by doing a backflip and dapping.
Downside: Losing a match contains everything above minus the victory part, then add in: Having your testicals telekinetically ripped out, filled with mercury and frozen, shot like bullets into your eye sockets, and then you are uppercutted into an inescapable pit of razor sharp spikes where you die die. Dead die. Total die.

I hope this helps all of you testicular free people in the Rp, thanks
Also: Sitting on your balls.
This sucks and it happens way more than you'd think.
+5 to the non-scrote carrier who roleplays that.
@Cupcake said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:
So my notion is, if you are self-assessing your capacity to portray another gender or sexual orientation, if you decide that you don't think you can do so because you genuinely don't feel you can grasp the nature of that gender/orientation and you would come off as a caricature (which for obvious reasons you wouldn't want to do), does that make you mindful of your own limitations, or limiting yourself in an unnecessary fashion?
Should people who feel like they can only meander down one of these particular paths have to feel like they should be embarrassed or ashamed about it?
(FTR, I'm not accusing anyone of shaming or embarrassing anyone else, but I do feel like there's a tone here from people who pursue certain singular characteristics like they could somehow do better, myself included.)
I dig this philosophical approach. I dig the questions.
My own 2 cents on this is that anytime you are writing a character whose perspective is different from your own real-life perspective you're going to get a few things wrong. In good faith is a useful term, here. Is it an attempt in good faith or meant to be a caricature? The only way to know for sure is to ask the player, because assumptions can be (and often are) assumed to be negative until proven otherwise. Plenty of stories in this thread show that.
My OOC preferences are my own, and I prefer to RP characters with different perspectives than my own. I've RPed a decent amount of the spectrum. However, I tend(ed) to shy from a lot of acted out sexual RP (near the end) because I'm honestly not in it for that particular aspect of RPing. I found that that when it comes to sex/relationships on these games the place where IC/OOC separation is at its thinnest is on this very topic, and that's danger zone for me personally.
So here's my take on roleplaying genders/orientations:
It's a tricky balance. How does one approach being supportive of IC/OOC sexuality and attempt to identify whether or not someone is doing it in good faith without slipping into the realm of gatekeeping?
IMO the only answer is to focus on the characters and make side commentary about the stuff the writer did that you really liked. What you know/assume about the player only makes it easier to judge, and less judgment is better.

That feels like an April Fool's joke.
3 coworkers. All three are friends. 2 female, 1 male.
Coworker female A marries the male. Takes his surname.
Coworker male leaves company. Coworker females remain.
Notice that coworker females A and B don't talk to each other.
TMW you find out Coworker female A is going by her maiden name again, but ALSO find out Coworker female B is now engaged to the guy.
