The Bad RPers Invade.
Over in Bad Rpers Suck on LJ, [info]gurgg makes a long and rambling post attacking an X-men movieverse game. Her most noteable beef with it? That the moderators of said game dared to make an effort to keep characters from getting OOC, most noteably Bobby Drake. Some highlights:

"Fuckin' cripes! You kicked out my only true fuckin' RP'er, my only true online best buddy just because "Hey! It's not the way we want this character (Which isn't up to you!) to be played!"

"Alright, I understand for being straight and all--but when you don't have a Rogue around and so basically your out of ideas for plots--the next best thing is to go gay!"

"It's just as simple as--pre say I being a mod and saying, alright I want Paige to go madly insane for Warren and I want Jono to be all happy with a mouth and all--oh and he's in a band too. WEEEEEEEEE!! HAPPY-HAPPY LIFE!! C'mon! This the biggest bull-shit I've ever seen!"

The community reacts with varying degrees of annoyance, confusion, and irritation.

But it doesn't stop there. [info]gurgg makes a second post, demanding that EVERYONE give her their opinions, and right now, because she's not leaving until they do. I make my own response, "Maybe if people weren't holding their grudge in the first place we've could've gotten somewhere" and at last, inevitable mod smackdown.

Dude. Going gay out of boredom? There's a whole lot of better excuses than that. Such aaaaaas!

"I was mesmerized by the Spiderman dance."
"I'm getting in touch with my inner uke."
"You can't stop the rock buttsex!"

...aaaaand those kinda suck, but I'm working from a low point here. Eh.

I love Demon Diary, especially Raenef IV! Although I'm disappointed that there's not as much shounen-ai as the first book suggests. Well, there's still two to be translated... *hopeful*

There was a mutant. He was a normal boy growing up in a normal family. Until one day he started mutating and there was much pain and angst. He went to a special school where there were others like him. He found acceptance among people with uglier superpowers than his. He jetted around the world doing good deeds and fighting side by side with hot women. Everything seemed to be going his way. Except that the girl he liked would steal his power and individuality with a single blowjob. But she left and there were other girls around but he never noticed them. He had a male friend, though. They competed sometimes, especially for the love of girls. But the girl was gone and he had read his entire Hustler collection till the pages were brittle. There was nothing new to do around there. One of the other girls was spoken for. The one with the silly name kept going untouchable right in the middle of sex. And one of them gave him a charge that was literal enough to raise Frankenstein's monster. He was horny and moped and sat around and played "Twenty Questions" with himself and won about half the time and one day accidentally walked in on his male friend taking a bubble bath and realized he had nothing better to do, so he shrugged and climbed in.

Now he gay from boredom.

Aw, damn. I wanted to comment but I'm too lazy to join the comm. I wanted to post this, mosly a repost of my comment in the previous post to f_w:

I followed the F_W links.

I know you can't reply, but since you requested everyone's opinions, here's mine: I think you're overreacting to the millionth degree, and that your banishment was well-earned. I think that if you calmed the fuck down and learned how to spell things like courage, you'd be able to make a better point. As it is, it seems almost everyone here doesn't know what the hell you're trying to say.

In my opinion, Bobby would not be clinically depressed after X2 for the following reasons:

A) He didn't know Jean that well. This is like having a teacher from your high school die - admittedly not many high school teachers die saving you and your stealth jet full of classmates, but it's like that. You might be a little sad but it's not affecting you so deeply you can't function.

B) Were John and Bobby really best friends? I always thought of him as that weird spooky kid in class that didn't really have friends, but people who'd tolerate him. Bobby probably has a pretty high weirdo tolerance level - he doesn't mind the fact that making out with his girlfriend will kill him.

C) His parents didn't do anything but freak out a bit. It was his bitch brother who turned him in. He could still be fine with his parents, you never know.

D) He's probably too busy studying for mid-terms. Come hell, highwater or the apocolypse, that school keeps on truckin'. A supervillain ruining your life is NO EXCUSE to not have your homework.

As for Bobby being gay ONLY because Rogue is not around, I seriously disgaree and think you need to step back and reconsider your views on sexuality. There's no evidence towards Bobby being gay - if you wanted him to go that way, you've have to do some major introspective work and explain WHY his sexuality is expanding or changing. From your incoherent ramblings, I've seen no explanation other than Rogue's absence.

If I was going to play Bobby as being gay, I would say that he's extremely self-concious, and finds so much pressure on him from the rest of the world as a mutant, that he can't cope with the trials of being gay in modern society as well. He decides he needs a girlfriend to mask his whitebread fruity demeanor, but doesn't want to DO anything. He finds Rogue, who he CAN'T do anything with. And then go from there.

But even this is flawed. If it was true, he wouldn't be so eager to kiss her. His desire to make out with his girlfriend shows how totally into girls he is: he doesn't care if it'll kill him, he still wants the ladies.

It seems like a reasonable complaint, actually. Playing a teenage male who's going through changes and strays a little bit over to the gay side is more than reasonable. What do they want, to prevent people from doing anything that doesn't have direct precedent in one of the movies or comic books?

The thing is there is nothing in the movies that indicate that Bobby is A gay, or B wants to fuck Pyro.

Also it how the player did it. From what I read they basically had Bobby become gay due to boredom and because his girlfriend wasn't around.

Both very stupid reasons IMO.

If they had Bobby perhaps start to question himself and come to the conclusion that he likes boys more than girls that would've worked better.

Playing a teenage male who, directly after a canon event, strays inexplicably from both what we see of him after the canon event and what we know of him from previous canon, is an entirely different thing.
