oof i'm pretty sure all my gossip blog experiences happened in the 2013-ish era of rp so they were all toxic af. as in everyone's characters were getting so much unnecessary hate unless the muns were friends with whoever was running it and yikes! the amount of people that would abuse it bc they were upset they didn't get to ship with someone else was wild. i hope it's changed since then but i still avoid rps with them to this day bc of those experiences

unpopular opinion: gossip blogs are intriguing in concept but it gives people a way to bash certain characters they (or their muses) don’t like and it tends to hurt. i feel like getting rid of them would be for the best.
what is your most controversial rp opinion ?
I do like gossip blogs and they can have their problems. I have been in one rp where an admin or two not playing in the rp ran it and it went pretty smoothly. They were able to filter out any bs

I hate gossip blogs... I have yet to see one that doesn't cause drama ooc. People normally use them to send horrible things about ships and characters bc they hate them ooc. It's gone so far that I just don't follow them, they give me too much anxiety and tbh it's one of the reasons why I don't feel comfortable in rps anymore. It just seems like a popularity contest and I've known too many people who got hurt bc of this. :(

most of my experience with gossip blogs has been kinda "meh" because they weren't particularly active, but i do remember running a gossip-type blog a few years ago and i had LOADS of fun with it and got a lot of positive feedback from members and the admin. i found i was having lots of strong reactions or thinking of jokes whenever people posted replies or answered asks, so i created the "Gossip" character to give voice to all that and acknowledge each character in a lighthearted & relevant way

i think gossip blogs can definitely be fun, but for the most part (and in my experience) it's just a blog to showcase rp's favorites, or the favorites of whoever runs the gossip blog. they always mention the same few characters, the same few ships, and it gets a little exhausting to be doing so much with your characters only to feel like they're not being appreciated or noticed. maybe i DO need to do more, but when they only mention the same 5 characters...i don't know.
