I find it sickening that the community doesn't even precieve the chance of there being characters who are not selfish.
I have been told on quite a few occassions that selfless or genuinely nice people without ulterior motives is not realistic, which I've never understood.
Of course, I've been told this often in real life, too, because I'm generally a selfless person, and that's made even less sense xD

This. This is what I mentioned earlier xD People are so bent on not playing the cliched "good guy" that the character trope has almost ceased to exist in RP. It's really disheartening to be told that genuinely kind and selfless characters are "one-dimensional" or "unrealistic," even if they have a healthy amount of flaws, simply because they remain "good." It just seems really cynical and incorrect to me.
