The following is going to be incredibly blunt.
My policy with this has always been the same:
"Fuck em."
People have a problem with your RP? Fuck em.
People refuse to RP with you as a result? Fuck em.
People harass you over it? Report them, blacklist them, but most importantly, FUCK EM.
I have seen other RP plot devices that make White Mages look comparatively sane. Fuck em. They're not important. What is important is that if you're going to use the trope, do it in a way that people are going to remember. Make it good. If your character is enjoyable, I can overlook his/her job description. I'm tired of WHM being the greatest taboo ever and people being so damned scared of just doing their own thing. At this rate, I'm going to have to be the pioneer, aren't I?
Fuck em. Do what you want.
