I think it's less of shame and more a place to display opinions without people trying too hard to pick it all apart. Â And I forgot to add one last deal.
10. Â Traumatic historic events/mental conditions. Â I'm ok with people RPing them. Â If your character has been afflicted with mental disorders, been raped, abused as a child, whatever? Â That's fine. Â What I don't like is how casually people use it in RP. Â Your character can have trauma in their background, but please, for the sake of RP, don't use PTSD, rape, abusive history, other traumatic events/disorders as a casual attention-seeking crutch. Â It feels iffy and disrespectful to real-world sufferers. Â And DEFINITELY DON'T try to pull others into your traumatic event without first talking to them OOC. Â I've been lead to a rape scene by an RPer before without even the slightest bit of warning. Â It was poorly done and I had no heads-up, which was the part that really, really irritated me. Â If I had been warned or asked first, I may have consented or been able to tell them "no thanks", but that was not the case.
