Let’s get some NaCl-y!
(aka the i’m in a mood and glad i have this tonight meme.)

Salty me under the cut!!

What’s the worst role playing experience you’ve had?

The Anne Rice tumblr fandom mostly.  From crazy weirdo stalkers threatening to hurt my wife (still waiting for that creepo to come at me, bro) to backstabbing to seeing someone being told to kill themselves and belittled repeatedly and then some.  The fandom that brought me to my wife (not on tumblr, though) ended up being the grossest I’ve ever seen.  Sad because I love Anne and miss some of my AR muses but it’s just kinda awful.

What would cause you to leave a fandom?

See the above.  That’s why I left.   I am, usually, a die hard in a fandom and it takes a lot for me to leave.  That ickiness piled up over a year and then it was time to go.

Why did you leave your last fandom?

With all that awfulness, I couldn’t be there anymore without wanting to stoop to their level and I just stopped enjoying myself seeing what was going on. RP became something I cringed at because of what I saw on my dash.

What are some things you are tired of seeing in the RPing community?

My number one can be discussed on discord/here because it’s mostly dealing with me and I don’t want to make anyone feel bad.  LOL!  But a VERY close second?  Icons with PSDs that make me unable to make out what the hell is in the photo ppl. Chill with the greyscaled, blood red gamma’d, comic book, polarized by 10k% is that a dog with bunny ears or a guy smiling with a knife icons.  Ily but damn.

Have you ever had to block someone or cut off contact with them?

Besides the creepo lady that made the lives of many of my friends hell?  I’ve blocked a few other people.  Mostly because of stealing or because they were just not nice people or broke my rules.  It takes a lot for me to block someone.
