Your Roleplay is Just Fine
I’ve met a lot of people in my time RPing, and I’ve met a lot of people who are very insecure over their roleplay and get a lot of hate for it. So!
Noble roleplayers, whether your house is an entirely original idea or inspired by something else
Roleplayers who use titles like “Highlord” or “Archmage” ICly
Roleplayers whose characters are “tropes” like the suave rogue woman or the honorable handsome knight
Those who roleplay controversial things, like Scarlets and criminals
Those who enjoy dark roleplay, in whatever flavor that comes in for you
Those who used to be really good at roleplaying, then something happened and you feel like you can’t hold a candle to how you used to be
Those who prefer to roleplay background characters like a blacksmith or a cook rather than an adventurer
Those who are new and still learning the ropes
Those who roleplay LGBTQ+ characters
Those who roleplay non-white characters and constantly have to defend as to if it’s “lore friendly,”
Those who roleplay having a personal relationship with a major lore character, or having an artifact ICly
Those who follow lore to a t
Those who disregard lore all together and write their own original stories within the game
Roleplayers who try to be as practical as possible when it comes to combat, weapons and armor
Roleplayers who prefer to take the more fantastical route, entering battle bare-legged and with a weapon as big as they are
All of you. Your roleplay is just fine. Roleplay what makes you happy, you’ll find people who are into the same stuff that you are.
Roleplayers who are not fine and need some juice and a time out:
Those who make anyone feel like they’re lesser or deserving of hate because of how they roleplay
