Popular Post Rune 1,099 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2018 We all do it. We see a board and go "Oh, one of those." and judge them immediately. Frequently these are... Weird and not at all harmful. What are some of the stereotypes you assign to genres/skins/hosts/whatever? Bonus points if its extra weird. This is meant to be humorous and light hearted. There is not to be any direct attacks on others/specific forums. Some of mine include: All Pokemon boards are on Proboards. All wolf RP is on proboards/self-hosted. There are no vanilla horses. Only ones with feathers, fire and horns. Pern boards last roughly three months, then the admin join another board, which will also last roughly three months. Then both sites will do a "grand re-opening!" And be abandoned again in roughly three months. Modern fantasy boards are only allowed to have red/black skins. Supernatural (the show) boards must reference the song "Wayward son" or it isn't legit. There are no RW RPs in Kansas, Mississippi or Alabama. All RW RP must be set in Los Angeles or New York. No other cities exist. 1 8 Heart of the Community 2018 Cry Wolf - 18+ AU Mercy Thompson (Urban Fantasy) RP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no RW RPs in Kansas, Mississippi or Alabama. No joke, I would join a site in a heartbeat if it was set in Mississippi simply for the nostalgia since I'm originally from there. There's so much untapped potential there! On RW secrets sites, the secrets will always involve sex. I feel like I should have more so I'll be back later!

Popular Post musicdiva1331 34 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2018 brand new rl rps that aren't officially opened (or soft opening) either set in mountains or the beach. First event will always be some crazy weather thing. Blizzard. Hurricane. Plague of Locusts. Etc. Trap people together and in 9 months everyone will be having babies and shotgun weddings. Usually run by someone (or two someones) who play the exact same characters with the exact same faces, one of whom uses the same names for the same faces, the other of whom changes the names around, but recycles. There is also usually a third who uses all originals. Codes provided but required. Member groups either based on social class or the four temperaments. Always one person with oddly specific dysfunctional families. If twinned faces are board rules, there will be multiple emilia clarkes and kit harringtons, probably shipped together. Harry Potter board with questionable creature guidelines. Mostly gay-ships (not that there's anything wrong with that. really). High proportion of k-pop and j-pop faces. also of squinty eyed very androgynous white male models, usually with the typical hipster boy hair cut. Post potter, but original era canons are still played by movie faces in movie 7 (hot neville) Biker board. Amber heard/Charlie Hunnam. some tatted scrawny model as opposing biker gang pres who looks like my 70 lb golden could eat him for lunch. Jason Momoa muscle. Sherlock- JohnLock always. Dark skins only. No medium, no light. RL rps must have falling things coded to reflect the season, and so your cat has one more reason to attempt to attack your computer. All text must be so small that you have to zoom. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could I forget this very real stereotype? You understand my language. Also, on biker sites, there will be a ridiculous amount of ads for some sweet young thing to save them from their destructive ways. Bonus points when the face claim looks about 12 opposite this grown ass man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably because people are biased, whether they believe themselves to be or not. When I was active in the fanlistings community, I looked through all the Star Trek fanlistings. Most of the characters that had white actors playing them had fanlistings, but the ones that were played by black actors didn't. The only reason I could think of why that could be was the race of the actor. I might have been the first person who made a fanlisting for a character that was played by a black actor and that was Worf. (I can't remember if Harry Kim or Sulu had one.) 1 Legends of Arda Character Archives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage 289 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Sailor Moon rp admins always play Sailor Moon/Princess Serenity/Usagi or their "original" equivalent. Original senshi are always weird knockoffs with the same powers as their predecessors but "with a twist." These forums also never last more than a month, but the tumblr hype is real. Medieval fantasy boards that have many playable races, but every character is either a human or an elf. All animanga forums are proboards. All RL sites must use 8pt font or smaller. 1 1 a dark, urban fantasy; inspired by sailor moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, personal experience: I had an ALL POC faction wanted because they were a family. And I had 3 people try to give me white FC, not even mixed looking FC. Needless to say... None of them got the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
