Yes, yes, I know… We don’t need ANOTHER thread about this topic, but I’ve gone through several of these previous threads and have never been able to find an answer that is satisfying to me.
To clarify, I don’t ERP and I can’t say I’m a supporter of it either, but only because I don’t care and never really come across it in my game.
I would just really like to know why is there SO much hate on the topic and why is so much energy put into trying to put it down? Please, I’d really like to know for real this time. It feels like we’re going around in circles with this topic, I just want actual reasons rather than blind hatred.
People do it in public.
People do it with minors.
People do generally gross things which other people should be aware, as it’s very understandable that one wouldn’t wanna be in any way related to some guy who is into doing the do with horses.
That kinda stuff, y’know?

People just have too much time on their hands.
ERP Drama is an eternal thing here on AD
It happens again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

I understand it can be very… err, graphic. But people have all sorts of weird fetishes IRL. If you had a friend who was into hardcore BDSM with older women, would you want to cut all ties? Or do you think it compares at all when taking about IRL vs a video game rated for children?
I definitely think a fetish for oldies or BDSM is not at all comparable to wanting to do a horse, my man.
As in guild drama? Yes, that’s something I see a lot but have never personally experienced it, which is in part why I need to know what exactly is the issue? Do people who ERP garner some sort of favouritism within the guild hierarchy?
No, I wouldn’t, However if they were doing it in public then I would since that is indecent. it’s the same logic for ERP in WoW, if you’re going to do that sort of thing, don’t do it on a public game.

In certain guilds it’s not uncommon for someone to f*ck their way up the hierarchy.
Be the GM’s favorite and you’ll soon be at the top.
I was trying to speak more broadly, but then I guess in part a big part of the hate for ERP is also a hate for furries?
Absolutely. However, my primary gripes are with the points I mentioned first. I even went ahead and listed them in order of relevance/importance, as you can see what people are into specifically was at the bottom of the three-parter list.
Fair argument. So for you do you think the issue lies in it just being in public?
Can we get this merged with the Gearfist thread please? We don’t need more clutter on the forums.
Basically that and that some Erpers RP some messed up stuff.
So is it the tarnishing of the guilds repuatation with an assosciation with ERP? Does that mean that the hatred for ERP predates the guild ERP drama issue or does the hatred for ERP stem from guild ERP drama? Sorry if that looks like a confusing question, not sure how to word it.
It definitely looks like a confusing answer, but even though I’ve managed to comprehend it I don’t really have an answer for you. I personally enjoy drama, it’s fun, so for me it’d be that the hatred for ERP predates the drama.
I had to reread your post, sorry. The minor thing really stuck out, and I guess I hadn’t thought of it? I originally thought you said mirrors there.
Funnily enough mirrors are also relevant. Gets p hard to take ERPers seriously once you’ve seen a few that ERP with themselves on alt accounts.
