hi, this is a thread of my thoughts about rpw then and how i feel about it now. completely my own view and just wanted to share c:

it used to be really fun, because majority had actual aus and there were plots everywhere, so needless to say interactions were too everyone basically just did their own thing, and while it wasn’t perfect, the environment was at least nice and full of people who supported each -

- other’s works

i don’t write/i’m not even active much anymore, and definitely other factors had to do with that, but one of the main ones is that i personally feel that there’s not many ppl anymore that appreciate and want works. i do write for myself, but it can be draining -

- in the way that i see that ppl don’t really give each other constructive criticism anymore, that most of the time, reactions are more of an attack than anything. some are quick to talk/move, and its not just really about literary works

its also just as simple as seeing something on the tl and immediately commenting on it. its gotten to the point that things here are so toxic that you’ve got people explaining themselves for things they shouldn’t have to,

and apologizing for their relationships/interactions with others when its unnecessary. i find it really great that many want rpw to be a safer space, i do too. its just that i think in the pursuit, some might already be making Person A uncomfy for the comfort of Person B

i don’t feel good about it, and it doesn’t seem fair. its a given that thoughts will probably be shared when you post something publicly, but the way that people say things sometimes makes me sad

i think a lot are already really scared of posting or saying things because they think they might be c-worded for it, or judged harshly. i have my values naman and i get upset at things that others do din

but i’ve really been trying not to put my feelings or principles over other people’s. its easy to make that error because you think you’re right, and sometimes you don’t realize you’re already hurting someone because of it. if i wanna say something, especially to someone [whom i-

-don’t know], i try din to say it in a polite or at least calm way. its like rpw became as toxic as stn twt (or is already like stn twt in many ways, and i think what& #39;s worse is that all of us are borrowing someone else’s face

instead of having a discussion, there’s already a fight and the process is often backwards because you act and then you think. our emotions and feelings are important and valid, but that doesn’t mean we should always act upon them; it doesn’t mean your actions are always valid

you can’t control what you feel, but you can control how you act and thats where the fault lies, should there be any. i’m all about educating someone, but its not my job to change them. i only have the responsibility of sharing what knowledge i have so i could help make the -

- environment i’m in, safer but still fun. and i think that often, matters that are between 2 parties/ppl don’t stay between them. others who were never involved wanna join in, and honestly i don’t know why but they do…?

like yeah i’ve heard chismis and talk about it even, the question is who hasn’t? but i don’t put myself in the situations of others, at least not uninvited

interactions are always being asked for too, but others respond selectively, which leads me to this: there are double standards. a lot of them. some have been there for quite a while now, but its more obvious now more than ever and i don’t think i have to expound on that

& its become apparent that because you’re different or you’re labeled in a certain way, the “norm” or whats ordinary will always be superior and more acceptable. i know that “norms” would naturally be more accepted, but different doesn’t necessarily mean bad or anything negative

lastly… this is really just from how i see things (this entire thread is) but i really feel that people come here in rpw not really to rp, but to just look for ppl to talk to or for potential partners or something along those lines

its okay to want relationships!! to want love!!! but for that to be the sole purpose of being here, where you’re supposed to roleplay, where you’re supposed to grow as a writer, it doesn’t sit right with me at all

to add to that, people seem to have adopted... a certain personality thats, um… i really don’t know how to explain it but i’ll just say that 1) this is the only time i’ve ever seen it in rpw, 2) its come to a point where nothing is taken seriously anymore, even when one should,

3) there’s really nothing… “rp” about it. its just… plain, its like its a normal acc and not an rp one.

i don’t really know exactly how to solve these things, but i still hope that maybe people could be kinder to each other, even when we make mistakes. and… genuinely rp :c

(i do get ticked off tho if someone doesn’t wanna change for the better like…? i think thats the real failure, and also a different story)

end thread. i’m so sorry its so long omg but wala i just wanted to share,, no hate pls :cc

last na talaga huhu

educating others is really important and also working to create safe spaces. but its not nice to just go at someone agad agad to make that happen :c and its okay to be mad if someone’s not acknowledging their faults/mistakes, its on them na :c
