The Amount of Rant is 2 Strong

These a strictly my opinions and from my point of view. My struggles.

 

When rps have this in the rules; "keep straight people in mind"

thanks. wow. much favoritism. okay.

I understand that people get upset when nobody wants to date them in a rp. All ualities fall into this category of being single. It just happens that usually roleplayers tend to make guys date guys hence making a pairing. This leaves many girls single. Obviously it can also be the over way around for yuri lovers, but from what I've seen it doesn't happen often. 

So when I see this type of rule in rps it gets me upset sometimes. I see a description that preaches about friendship and making friends but in the rules I have to see something about relationships. Only some rps fall into what I'm talking about.

When I see admins stating that people should keep straight people in mind I question a lot. This is obviously being directed to people who join rps as gay or lesbian characters. But how are we, we because I am one of these people, supposed to keep them in mind?

If it is a non rated rp with no I can understand that it is indeed possible to be straight without any worries. But in a roleplay the option of "keeping straight people in mind" can't happen; in my opinion. 

I struggle writing straight , and if it's a rp I'm assuming I would soon decide to with my loved one. If I do join a roleplay and actually decide to date a girl. I can't with her.

This frustrates me. There goes another roleplay I can't join. 

When admins put limits on and yuri. This isn't as bad as "keep straight people in mind" in my opinion. Whenever I read this I just think "Wow, putting limits on love. Thanks."

I'm honestly afraid to join types of roleplays with these types of rules. What exactly is the limit for couples? Why worry about the amount of couples to being with? Again, things differ depending on the type of roleplay.

Now when I join rps all I see is drama, usually about love. I see males and females complaining about being single, people blaming different ualities because of it, people putting bans against and yuri. When did joining rps become about dating and relationships? I know some rps are strictly about these types of things but if you join a rp that describes a life where you can make friends and communicate why join with the expectation of dating someone?

I know this is a late comment but I agree with you. And what if there's more straight characters in the rp then gay, lesbian, bi, pan etx characters? Then for those that love and yuri will be left out and that's not fun for us either :( I can understand and yuri can overpopulate but still.

This is why I'm starting to allow all ualities in my rps ^^ I like seeing diverse couples and relationships, it makes the rp more interesting and fun in my opinion. If you say ' and yuri is allowed but limited' I don't get rules like that -__-
