// (TW: rape mention, Nazi mention, pedophilia mention)

The rule in question is "The mun is not the muse. Their actions aren& #39;t mine."
For anyone unfamiliar with the phrase, it& #39;s essentially a disclaimer that denotes the line of separation between the character (muse) and the writer (mun), & has two points:

As for the discussions that I mentioned at the start of the thread, people brought up instances from the JoJo RP community regarding specific characters:
1) People chasing off Joseph Joestar
2) A friend making their Stroheim account private because other Stroheims had been chased off due to the character& #39;s Nazi affiliation.
Obviously, cheating on your partner and being a Nazi are on different levels of awful, but they
With that said, I feel that harrassing and chasing someone off of a platform for a character they choose to write is a little overkill when most platforms give you the ability to block, mute and report any
Speaking of "objectionable content", there is definitely a lot of content that

We let potential partners know of things on our accounts like "Hey, there& #39;s some stuff on here you might not
Plus, going after people for problematic aspects of their muses sounds like it would
Then again, I& #39;m moreso about just trying to mind my business and be chill so maybe that& #39;s just me wanting to avoid pointless drama.
I feel like I& #39;ve been
1) Muses and muns are separate entities
2) If something about someone& #39;s muse bothers you, you can block or mute their account. Or report it if the content violates ToS.
3) Call-outs should only be made for OOC shittyness.
