Romani person that supported you here.

"Putting a Romani man in bondage for sexual purposes contributes to the fetishizing of the Romani people". Does this person know what BDSM is? And that anyone can be into BDSM and that it's not a racial related thing? Are people truly that dumb that they think BDSM is fetishizing now? Or do they think that only white people do BDSM? If yes, then they really have not been on the internet for a long time or they straight up just choose to be ignorant. Also, I would like to add that some non-white people I know like bondage without sexual things because guess what? Bondage is kinky, sure, but some people also enjoy it without anything sexual related, because at the end of the day it's a trust thing where you give over control and that feels freeing in a way.

Istg, I hope that anon realizes that if they go "Oh, bondage for sexual purposes contributes to the fetishizing of the Romani people" that they are basically saying that they think Romani people can't do bondage or BDSM and they have to have boring 24/7 sex, which is pretty much very wrong. I hope that anon knows that some Romani people, like me for example, will read that and be hurt by that statement. Because belive me, it's good if people try to educate others. But saying stuff like that is just straight up wrong. So hey anon, for the small chance you are reading this: You upset a real romani man a bit with your words. Good job.

((OOC))

I'm genuinely sorry that the other anon's words hurt you; for what it's worth, I doubt they thought through what they were writing in their zeal to do harm. I hope they do read your words and find contrition.

This entire harassment campaign has been one of bullying and censorship, not of actual ideals. If these people genuinely believed what they claim to believe, they wouldn't be wasting time with some blog that has maybe eight people interested in it. They'd be trying to protest against George R. R. Martin, or Charlene Harris, or Stephen King, or the Arthur Conan Doyle archives for their much bigger reach.

But they don't and they won't, because what they really want is to wield power in a time when they feel powerless. They are clumsy with this power; their aim is flawed, their target based on hearsay, their arguments baseless.

Putting a Romani man in bondage for sexual purposes contributes to the fetishizing of the Romani people, especially when the "partner" is a white man.

((OOC))

Dear Romani population,

I'm very sorry that people only allow you to have missionary-style sex (if at all) and want you to feel bad about yourself if you're kinky or if your partner is of a different ethnicity. This is some really gross shit. I'm not sure the anon even realized that they were posting pro-racial purity propaganda, but I think it's important to point it out to them.

For what it's worth, the "partner" in this fictional co-op storytelling game isn't even fully human. Jean-Paul has some Great Ape DNA in him, along with a number of other animals. So it's totally fine for them to get consensually creative in the bedroom!

Stay strong illiterate mun us real ones are still here and wanna see you fuck your blonde

[illiteratedickgrayson]

Tbh, I don't get that one anon that said it's disgusting that you reacted the way you did. Because you are right by having said that trauma induced hypersexuality isn't based on ethnicity. Like, not to overshare even if this is on anon, but that is something I can relate to and it's not exactly fun to see someone go "wow, that's a digusting way to react". Do people not understand that trauma induced hypersexuality is actually a more common thing all over the world then one would think? And that rping a character that way is literally an okay thing? And I bet that, if you would have chosen to rp any other character this way, people would still try to get your ass, which is actually the only digusting thing here. People really suck so bad sometimes!

((OOC))

Thank you for the reassurance. Sometimes it seems as if Dick Grayson being sexual in any way just sets people off in some fashion. I've always tried to write Dick as someone who is a person first, even if that person is imperfect and prone to sexual feelings. He's a mess. He overthinks. He's the most capable field commander Batman's ever trained and he is haunted by his failures.

He's great.

[illiteratedickgrayson]

Another romani person here: I don't get what the fuck that one anon was on about. Cause like, I don't see how the way you rp Dick is seen as racist (especially towards romani people) and you have also never done anything racist ooc either? Also, you aren't even fetishizing anything, you are genuine just giving a traumatized Dick good sexual expiences, which he is allowed to have! And I think some people need to learn what the fuck some words mean again or learn how to look at something for more then five seconds. Fetishizing, by definition, is: To have a sexual interest in an object or a part of the body other than the sexual organs, or in a person as if they are an object. Which your Dick is literally not? If this person spent more then probably only a few seconds on your Blog, they would know that you do also rp Dick as a normal ass person with normal conversations sometimes.

And if that anon really has such a problem with the way you rp Dick, they should either learn to fuck off by scrolling away, block you or simply make their own rp acc where they can rp Dick they want him to be. I also think sometimes people really need to be reminded that roleplayers do not owe them anyone rping a character the way they want a character to be roleplayed.

Hope this wave of nasty anons stops soon!

((OOC))

Hey, thank you for this. Genuinely. The biggest frustration has been that people are being nasty based on the words of a stranger. They've all got that chatgpt TikTok brain inability to question why I'm suddenly the poster child for evil so soon after I had to delete a bunch of anon RPs and make a rule to keep people from using the anon feature to get around clear boundaries stated months ago.

I had to "No means No" someone and suddenly all this happens? It's not a good look.

[illiteratedickgrayson]

how truly disgusting that your response to a romani speaking out on the fetishizing and racist archetype that you write was to shame them you cant remove dick g. from his race it is part of his character youre playing a rlly insensitive trope and acting like it is activism but belittling the actual minorities effected by these stereotypes

[illiteratedickgrayson]

The DC and especially the Batman fandom are notorious for having antis who shit on everyone’s parade. Why are you blaming someone else for the hate you get when they’re probably trolls and normies who just don’t want to see anyone have fun?

((OOC))

Why am I blaming someone for encouraging others to harass people for things they've made up? Is that what you're questioning?

Dude, the last time someone whipped up a baseless brigade like this, it turned out they were a hardcore Zionist. Like, fully supporting the genocide Zionist.

I would not be surprised if this is the same person under a new blog tbh.

Jean-Paul's apartment is filled with the sound of pockets and pouches being emptied onto the table. It's Sunday, so it's time for a full inventory check.

It's a nice ritual, one that allows them to chat while they work, making it not feel like cleaning. He's in his suit minus the mask, shaking his head as he keeps finding more energy bar wrappers to throw out.

"I don't think we've ever seen each other's full gear." Jean-Paul mused as he tested each of the tiny trackers he just dropped onto the table.

Dick is perched on the back of a chair with his feet firmly in the seat of it. If asked why, he would joke that it's his attempt to offset the height difference between them. He's wearing his Nightwing uniform and shaking out his own collection of detritus from hidden pockets. It's a marvel how all this builds up when he knows he checks these after every patrol. Most of the time.

There's a fast food receipt sloppily folded into an origami elephant. Dick places it delicately on the table next to his Wing-Dings and his supply of tiny cameras. He looks over Jean-Paul's gear as he does, finding himself curious. He's updated his own tech in this older universe, but the other man is right: they've never gone over exactly what each one of them tends to keep on hand.

"My load out tends to change depending on whether I'm using a grapple gun or my escrima sticks to get around." Both options are on the table as well, awaiting maintenance. Dick picks up the stick to show off the built-in compartments for even more gadgets.

"I prefer the escrima; it reminds me of the trapeze. But the gun is iconic in Gotham, so when I'm in town..."
