Not gonna lie, I tend to get very vocal about ONE thing that I hate more than anything - characters falling in love within the week. It's mostly because every single person who has caused drama for me in RP tried to push romance too fast and either got upset that I took it off the table or, in my earlier years, it raised a red flag but I let it continue and then it blew up in my face. When I see two people roleplaying their characters as in love or closely bonded after a week, I get really, really agitated and feel like they only want RP romance. I can even tolerate blatant lore breaking more than that and I generally don't even WANT to rp with people who I find out doing it.
I know this makes me kind of a bad person, it's not any of my business at the end of the day and I'm really vocal about it, but I'm trying to hold my tongue more. On that I actually do have to take a step back and breath. Regardless whether or not I'm right in the end, these people are adults and after my initial vocalizing my distaste I need to let it go.
Working on it. Even I am human XD
