@Auspice said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:
I for one always call in a GM to help me end my TS.
one time when i was a teenager i started a “sex scene” then called for a staffer to judge combat because i was there to kill the guy
you can imagine how smoothly this went and how many names i was not called
if batman wants to fuck nightwing i am 100% down and also would like to watch but prob that should not be happening at the sizzler is i think the point
lol lmao what a total fuckin mess
later, sluts

Once upon forever ago I'd try to get people I knew rl to play on games, wod & comic ones
the problem wasn't really code or whatever, the problem was that - tbh I have no idea how to say this in a non-insulting way:
Normal People find like 99% of MU Culture to be just totally repulsive
and for very good reasons; there are so few games left that people are willing to tolerate just insane levels of corruption and ineptitude and abuse bc "well there's not a better place and this one at least has players" and it just allows for ever worse shit to happen and honestly there's no bottom to the barrel it just goes down forever
And that's ignoring just, the usual social maladaptive shit that's so common on games that it's just taken for granted, the people who have no idea how to interact with anyone who isn't broken the same way they are and the way that geek social fallacies are like burned into the fabric of everything and not to be questioned
so i don't anymore & haven't for years
@derp said in Question: Code of Conduct:
certain persons have gone to great lengths to skate right along the very border of what a written, explicit rule will let them get away with, and then choose to cite that rule back in the face of the mods when told to knock it off
literally the only person I have ever seen do this is you
if a bunch of different women who have no connection to one another say someone is a misogynist with such conviction they’re willing to abandon a community they’ve been part of for years it usually means it’s not a baseless attack
you sound like every game owner who’s ever showed up here to defend some creep they were enabling on a game
it’s gross and it’s why this place is going to end up you, him, and the three people who upvote your posts
@paris said in Make MSB great again!:
@arkandel This site enables harassment.
alt take:
this site is one of the only places some people feel like they're able to safely speak up about the abuse they witness or are subject to
yeah that's a ton of work and you're not going to find many people willing to go along with that like it's hard even to get people who are irl assaulted to go through the excoriation of a trial so why the fuck would anybody be willing to put up with it for a game?
esp when experience is pretty universally going to tell them that shit like "we need Hard Evidence" and "there's an Investigstion" are just synonyms for "lol w/e slut"
people should be nicer to racists bc the real racism is meanness
oh good
how the community has suffered for lack of a pillowfort
@surreality said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:
Grar #2 emerges because so many of the guys that do this go on about how 'they do it right' or 'they are too enlightened to fall into those fetishistic traps' and so on, while blatantly ignoring that difference in social conditioning re: sexuality that men and women experience is proof they are not so fucking enlightened as they think.
the new fetish is making sure everybody knows how woke and enlightened you are while you continue to be gross af in other ways and in places where fewer people see
ps for the inevitable "why don't you make one then" i tried and it was v little red hen, like i asked everyone to help me make bread and they were just "oh wow i love bread hmu when it's done" but like little red hen doesn't have an oven so she just went to drink straight chartreuse and watch zombie movies in her underwear
it’s super funny because multiple people were told in DMs that Derp would be removed as an admin and that was just a lie and now he’s functionally running everything and crafted a rule that is basically just “don’t be mean to Derp, he’s just a little guy, c’mon”
and, like
for who? like who is this for anymore
this place is dead
everybody who actually posted is banned or said “wow, this is gross, bye” and even if those bans are retracted why would anybody come back when they’ve seen firsthand an admin policy based on narcissistic injury and gaslighting
none of this silent majority apparently intimidated by the mean girls appears interested in doing anything
so congratulations i guess I’m sure three admins and four posters will definitely make a vibrant community
idk if it counts but a conversation about underwear for like She-Hulk style characters led to a conversation about the market for super-people clothes led to "there would definitely be shops aimed at superheroines" "yeah but basically nobody would ever be dumb enough to make a char out of that other than me and I'm def not gonna do that"
which led to me making a character out of that
@surreality said in Roleplayer's shower thoughts:
(I would totally do this, too.)
there's this ridiculously minor like she's not even d-list marvel villain named Skein who's got, like, "fabric manipulation" powers and i decided to do a thing where she just, realized she was already a millionaire, in her 30s, and basically surrounded by people who do crime cus it's an excuse for them to cosplay in public (seriously like, her teammates are somebody wearing rabbit ears, somebody in a panda hoodie, and a hyper-evolved blue collar hippo), and just, whatever, open a shop instead
and has an ankle monitor and got like probation/house arrest cus when she was surrendering to the cops after her road to Damascus moment stealing fabrege eggs with furries, Spider-Woman turned up and hit her in the face
(because I think it's funny for her to have a protective order against a superhero)
@secretfire said in A (Mildly Complete) List of Current Games:
This is almost depressing. This is it for mushes? ...thats sad. Its like watching the last few dinosaurs meander around the rats scurrying at their feet. Remember when the number of active, real mu* seemed almost endless?
tbh it kind of surprises me anybody would be surprised, like
even ignore everything about how text is a super niche medium since, God, probably like Everquest I guess and how most people just age out of literally anything and honestly the rate here is probably like 10:1 exit:enter at this point
and it's still a deal w a community that's spent years sheltering time bombs and e-weinsteins cus "well they're fine with me" or "wow that's a friend of mine maybe you're the problem," is full of and plenty of times on games run by people playing like, larp high school politics trying to be the cool kids they never were, has (esp on comic places, which were my usual thing) t o n s of dudes still hanging onto grudges from when they were kids like 20 years before I was even born, etc etc etc all in addition to the usual narcissists and crazies that will make everything about them like on literally every other single social media outlet that has or will ever exist
like, i used to proselytize a lot and i tried to get girls i worked with who were cool and into stuff to start playing shit, mostly WOD but once or twice comic places and
four months was the longest ever and that was one person, mostly nobody made it a month period
it's hard to bring people in, esp from non-stereotypical-gamer backgrounds, when vorpals and vaspiders and claremonts and (super old example but someone who went frothing obsessive psycho on me and "oh that's just how he is") psyjacks aren't just around but are sometimes considered pillars and protected
like, my surprise isn't that there are so few
if anything it's that there are so many
oh dude i actually forgot all about that
so, basically there are some bones from a monastery ans they have damage indicative of advanced syphilis and they're people who died before the colombian exchange which means there was syphilis in europe before ~The Great Pox~
the theory with it i think is that the ~The Great Pox~ one was native to the Americas and different enough that Europeans had just zero resistance to it and so you got, you know, this insane contagiousness and rapid onset and uh, dudes faces falling off during the siege of paris and then eventually it settled down to just making guy de maupassant think flies were eating his brain
there’s also just that white people “dreads” are so universally gross
like, i’ve known plenty of people with actual dreads, i dated a guy with actual dreads, they’re clean, there’s a crazy amount that goes into keeping them, he put more effort into his hair than i did & at the time i had gigantic 80s hair
white people just have disgusting filthy hair that they let fester until it turns into, like, bezoar noodles
