It looks like BRPS is trying to keep up with fanficrants.
BPRS wank, amusing, but small.

[info]water_rose rants about a pair of jerkoffs on her RPG making light of raping her character.

Sorry guys, but I don't find rape funny. Most people with even a trace of common sense don't find the subject amusing. You don't know me at all, so therefore I will admit you have no way of knowing I was assulted when I was younger, but WTF gave either of you the idea such a thing was even remotely worth saying?! I've had years to deal with my experience and you guys didn't upset me more then the moment of brain-breaking shock you gave me but on a game as large as Achaea did it not cross your tiny minds that there just MIGHT be assult and/or rape survivors on the game?

There is a lot of agreeing that those guys are asshats and rape in RPGs should either never be done or that if it is done they need permission first. But not everyone is understanding.

[info]iamseph: I know I'm going to get flamed for saying this, and it's nothing personal, but so the fuck what?
People get bullied, pushed around, beaten up, thrown into pits of caustic slime and all sorts of other things in RPGs, none of these things are very nice and there is the high possibility that these things have happened to other players too in such a large game. I've a few of violent and aggressive characters and if everyone my character threatened with a beating went on a whining bent over how they're traumatised for life because they were beaten up once at school because of it and somehow seemed to think I was doing it as a joke, I would then carry through with the characters threats just to make them realise how goddamned seriously dangerous my violent characters are.


But it gets best when [info]angelicdominic points out the irony of being OMG so hurt by the threat of rape, then going around and telling anyone with an internet connection that she was assaulted.

[info]kepulver: So, because a person can say "I've been raped/assaulted" they are therefore not allowed to be angry when people treat their experiences as a joke/stupid threat on an RPG?

[info]skyshark: Yeah. More people should live in fear, silence, and shame, and certainly never try to discourage an atmosphere that supports people who think like their attackers. They really ought to be quiet when they're in a textual world of anonymity. And if something upsets them, there's no need for them to do anything but suck it up! It's not like the topic should be more important to them as a survivor, or anything. It's only a major traumatic incident.

I should find someone who experienced a rare flesh-eating disease and ask them to come play the part of a patient with a terminal illness in my new production. If they object in front of people, I'll be sure to send you a tape. Comedy at its best, baby.


I'm a little disappointed it left the main page before it kicked off.
