jcat Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) The poll is missing a choice. There needs to be a choice for people who are single who have occasional relationships, not ERP. This would be for people who are interested in relationship rp, but not in long term relationship rp. Edited July 5, 2020 by jcat Link to comment
Lucie Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) I'll never understand why some people hate ERP, I find it cringy when roleplaying some sort of relationship and nothing actually happens, makes me feel like if I was 12 again. While obviously ERP shouldn't be the goal in roleplay, it's a nice, fun addition to roleplay in my oppinion, and needed if you are roleplaying a relationship between adult characters. You don't even need to be extremely explicit in the emotes anyway. And while I agree that Relationship RP can become boring if it's just simulating IRL, it doesn't need to be like that. You can commit crimes with your partner, or even better, you can roleplay jealousy, drama, confilcts, gossip, like the ones you see in soap operas. Roleplay isn't very different from TV to be honest, some people prefer action and shooting, others romance and drama. In my case, a normal healthy in game relationship would become boring, but if it involved soap opera like drama, it'd be fun as hell. Nice to see than many are open to relationship roleplay as seen on the poll, and congrats to those who so family and relationship as main roleplay Edited July 5, 2020 by Lucie Link to comment

When people do it badly, it can be repulsive. Even when it's done decently well, it can be creepy, like going over your friend's house and there's hardcore porn playing on her computer, and you're like, umm, should I wait in the car? this feeling of being uncomfortable can stay with people, and they express it by saying how much they hate ERP. They've probably seen some really bad portrayals, and that might've fixed what they think about it. Link to comment
Renegade Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 This one is tough to answer. I never role played relationships and that’s for two reasons: 1. The other end of the screen is most likely a dude (yes yes, “it’s all about the rp!” For you, not me) and I would personally find it odd. 2. I am not interested in ERP at all, zero, null. I don’t mind the idea of roleplaying a relationship as long as it doesn’t lead to ERP, and OOC is kept out of it. Link to comment

I am not interested in ERP at all, zero, null. This is what I was talking about. Respect your choice anyway, but for me, what I find repulsive is roleplaying blood, being shot, stuff like that. In my personal opinion, people who just want ERP for their character are as bad as those hating it. Healthy middle ground is the best for me. And regarding relationship roleplay, Imagine this RP scenario and tell me if isn't more exciting than running an illegal organization: Your character is in a group of friends, and has a crush on some other character who is married or in a serious relationship. Your character gets jealous, and even flirts with her/his crush. Eventually the crush finds out about it, and cheats on her/his partner on your character, but doesn't want anything serious, ending breaking your character heart. Eventually, a mutual friend within this group of people, seeing that your character is sad, gets involved, and eventually they start dating. But this new person feels jealous than your character had a crush on someone else in the first place, and specially sicne your character can't totally get over him/her. What is worse, the partner of your original crush finds out that you two had something, and starts hating your character. And what used to be a nice group of male and female friends, ends up being a total drama feast. Stuff like that is what would make relationship rp interesting in my opinion lol Link to comment

Garras Up Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) I can't RP relationships, I always end up falling in love with the other person OOC and then im conflicted because I realize it's a man, then I get depressed. Lol just kidding.... Relationship rp's alright when done strictly ICly and there's little to no OOC communication between the two players. On most of my characters I tend to rp a relationship at some point, relationships add depth to one's character Edited July 5, 2020 by El Ghetto Man Link to comment
