Okay folks we need to learn a wonderful concept of taking consideration for your fellow rpers. Some people in fandoms are trying to meet new people. If you are ICING OUT other rpers, you are part of the problem. People feel unwelcome. People feel unwanted. If you have a problem with an rper, tell them. Nobody is a fucking mind reader. That person could be going through turbulent emotions & dealing with bullshit outside of you icing them out. People need escapes from their lives. That's what RP is MEANT TO BE. But it can become a prison just as easily as their lives can be. All it takes is one person being an asshole. You can have differing opinions and still get along. If you're overly pressuring, or overly aggressive, or overly passive aggressive, you can create a negative space for people. Everyone has every right to remove you from their lives at any time, and you are not owed an explanation. If someone states they are feeling unwanted or unwelcome it could be how you're treating them outside of this. If you are in a mutual server and choose to speak over them, that is what's known as icing them out. If they are on your dash and you don't interact with any of their posts at all, they don't have to stick around.
If you don't like an rper, you dont have to be a jackass about speaking with them. Just let them know "Hey I know you said something, but... may I please speak with this person?" If they don't respond well they aren't worth it. But don't ice them out. If someone unfollows you DO NOT ASSUME it was because of something you have posted. It could be because they have anxiety and don't want to have you there causing their anxiety anymore. If they offer to provide an explanation, ask. Don't just assume. That makes you look more like an ass than them.
