Good to see some things are left unchanged during my RP hiatus xDÂ
Welp, I'll keep this as short and sweet as possible since I am pretty positive everything that needs to be said has been said by the others already.
To the OP, to answer your question, I believe that is just people in general. It may not be as drastic as to where it is like a switch being flipped and they instantly turn around to hate you of course. Unfortunately, I do believe that those people 'in general' have a higher rate of showing up in RP communities much like they do in fandom communities.Â
Now as for drama caused by RP in general, I'll just toss in my two cents since I got nothing to do but wait for my shift to be over. This pertains to RP/IC/OOC/IRL in some form or another. Take it as you will.Â
Anyway, there are some people who feel entitled and/or privileged that become spoiled brats who whine about not getting what they want for whatever reason. Fuck those people.
Then there are others who are too immature mentally and don't know how to handle disagreements like a grown ass adult (apologies to the actual kids on this site xD I am sure there are some very mature young'ins running around here
) and end up just becoming a hater. Fuck them too.
And THEN you have those that defy the Golden Rule of Roleplay--never let worlds collide. Meaning don't ever let IC shit mix into the OOC and/or vice versa. Fuck these people in particular. I like to think of it like Vegas. Whatever happens there, stays there. I talk about stuff that happens in an RP while OOC, of course, who doesn't? But I'm not going to let it start affecting my REAL LIFE in a negative form because in the end--IT IS FUCKING MAKE BELIEVE. Fortunately MOST RPers abide by this 'Golden Rule' but those that do not...I have seen things. Terrible things.
Oh look, almost time for me to go home xD
