❣ - An unpopular opinion I have
ahaHA um i really hate the sudden (i say sudden but it’s been a slow building monster that’s several months old now) aversion to smut in the rp community. i fandom hop, so i’ve seen several different versions, but overall the mindset basically went from “EWWWW PEOPLE WHO RP SMUT ARE NASTY!!!!!!” to “well I don’t rp smut but if YOU do it’s okay just don’t bring it near me!” which is only slightly better??????
like this whole “I RP SHIPS FOR MORE THAN SMUT!” really really rubs me the wrong way bc you’re literally excluding an entire portion of relationships— there are plenty of people, canon and original that are sexual in nature, and would be completely OOC to be portrayed as someone that’s down with relationships instead of just meaningless sex. whenever those fucking posts go around i silently rage because it makes me, someone who learns characters best by their sex life (bc i’m of the mindset that what you do or don’t do during sex can tell a lot about a character/person) feel like shit bc if i do put smut on the dash i’m going to be judged. (okay i care slightly less than i probably should but i know there are others that DO care a lot and it’s kind of fucked up to shame any portion of a community)
like, i understand that some people have legit fears/concerns/aversions to sex in general, and that is perfectly okay. what’s not okay is making it seem like rping smut is wrong for whatever reason, though. just because you have your reasons for not being down with something, doesn’t mean you should try to shame others into feeling the same way.
☑ - A fact about the character
uMMMM hmm okay let's see here...
on the same topic of sex, i guess-- red is really indifferent about it due to his past. he will have sex with someone, as long as they understand that nothing's going to come out of it. he doesn't form bonds all that well, and doesn't understand clinginess and emotional attachment to a person.
AHHHHHHHH wow you're like... my favorite steve rper ngl.
i started tumblr rp in the marvel fandom, and so i've seen hundreds or steve's come and go, good and bad alike. i've never really cared for captain america (mostly due to his fanon interpretations), and so he was one of the characters that i didn't really want on my dash, especially when i left the marvel fandom at the beginning of this year.
i think i found your blog through diya, actually-- i was wary of following you bc of the whole steve thing, but ugh. your portrayal is spot on okay. it's fucking beautiful.
we haven't talked that much, but we have the same name so i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you're fuckin' awesome just for that. but also bc you seem really chill and you're hella respectful to all of the people that come into your inbox which is so pleasing ; u ;
i hoPE WE CAN HAVE INTERACTION ONE DAY on any of my blogs ; A ;
