Sure, all cool and stuff, but there’s a trend of folk going overboard for what is a 12+ game
Idc about what you are, but I do care about vulnerable people being exposed to content way above the paygrade

It’s a known fact that your value as a person relies on your willingness to boink a doink with someone.

Gay people are no more inclined to ERP than straight people, and them engaging in romance RP doesn’t imply ERP.

Being openly homosexual really shouldn’t be equated to “being sexually inappropriate” and it really shouldn’t be brought up unless there’s a reason to do so.

This was the conversation before the comment was made.

My character remarked that his friend was good with a sword, and would be useful should he get hired for work. One of the onlookers asked if it was a professional conversation or “homosexual” and my friend said in jest “why not both?” for his character is gay, and then that’s when the person said what they said. As for my character, I would say that his sexuality was not evident in the slightest. My TRP is completely empty as I made the character today, nothing but a name and his race. There was no inclination of who I am IRL either, my friend was the only one who remarked on his own sexuality IC.

It’s just disheartening, I’ve had a lot of people p much immediately walk away the moment my character of choice didn’t seem interested in romance or anything way over pg13 and it’s not a nice feeling when it’s as if people are only interested in RP with you for that - especially when it’s not what you’re looking for

Yeah it’s dumb as hell. But on the bright side, you probably didn’t lose anything of worth with them walking away. People like that aren’t really worth your or anyone elses time.

That’s the key takeaway from that sort of thing (or this sort if thing!) in general imo! Nothing of value lost but still a bit of a bummer sometimes.
“Would you like to take a walk in the woods with me?”
“Oh, no thank you. Would you like to share a moonberry juice with me and my companions–”
“Oh okay bye.”

I understand, and I was not making the equation for homosexuals, however there has been a trend (whether you see it or not) of folk playing such characters and fetishizing them, which might lead to some going full Gamers on them, but to me its more a case of children + other vunerable folk.
Tl:dr before wokescolds come after me (get fricked):
Sexual content in a +12 regardless of gender/outlook/stuff is not cool
I get what you’re saying man but this literally applies to any roleplay ever, any romance ever. It doesn’t only apply to homosexual characters and I don’t get why you’d bring it up here.

Thanks, that clears up the context. Hope you’ll be able to avoid these jerks in the future; it seems like bad RP devolved to worse OOC.

Guess you’ve just gotta ask yourself whether you’d have posed the same question if it was about heterosexual characters / people. I don’t think you were being homophobic or motivated by prejudice, but it’s absolutely the sort of line that would come from a G*mer looking to take a swipe at LGBTQ+ people.

Age rating has nothing to do with sexuality though. Sexuality and actual sexual activities are two different things.

Considering I am extremely hardline against ERP, yes.

I’d have posed the same questions to an unusually loaded character description of a heterosexual character. They exist too, and they’re a similar red flag to those of us who’d rather roleplay without engaging in romantic/sexual topics.

I’m actually retarded, thanks for the clarification.
I think most of us here are. I just don’t think it’s really that relevant to the conversation when you know the thread, you know the context, and you know that this character didn’t have “twinky boy toy” in his mageweave TRP.

No problem!
There’s being “hardline” and there’s being unnecessarily overzealous, smh my head. There was no cause to suggest anything sexually untoward / inappropriate went on.
