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

Funny you should mention that. I once played an unambiguously good and purely selfless character in an FF Forum Roleplay and she ended up being one of the most popular characters. She had her quirks, negatives and fault sure but that character was never actually called boring.
