It's absolutely insane to me that a non-insignificant portion of LEO RP'ers say that illegal RP'ers are incapable of taking L's when it you have far more one-life characters in the illegal RP scene, and I can think of like two times tops that an LEO char got CK'd for an egregious lack of fear RP juxtaposed to the numerous amount of CK's that get handed out to illegal characters due to less egregious instances of lack of fear RP. It's not just a matter of doing their jobs, its the fact that LEO RP'ers should be held up to the same standards of illegal RP'ers.
And let's be completely honest, a CK for an illegal char is far more damaging than it is for an LEO RP'er. I don't know if it's still the case, but when a LEO char is CK'd, they take a few rank hits and they're still a cop.
Conversely, an illegal char loses any supplier roles individually tied to them, any illegal connections, are forced to start from the ground up with a given faction, lose any potential schemes and so on.
Honestly, I really don't mind if LEO RP'ers don't like taking L's and don't want to take them. Many illegal RP'ers are of the same mind. I just find it a little facetious that a decent chunk of LEO RP'ers continue to stand on this high ground acting as if they aren't basically illegal RP'ers with less script consequences, considering the grand majority of us end up roleplaying traumatized and desensitized characters, with roleplay that's more reactive rather than proactive and with our own fair share of individuals that engage in absurdly poor portrayal that ruin our respective RP scene's reputations (Robo-cops and low-effort DM'er characters).
I can't think of many illegal RP'ers, especially gang RP'ers, that would mind this if the amount of K-9's got toned down and LEO characters actually got CK'd for lack of fear.
