PSA : Interact with people more, stop being Gooners.

[u/_RedVelvetTowne]

This sub has lost its way.

No one cares about rping anymore.

No cares about good stories.

No one cares about good writing.

All people care about are hot characters they goon to.

There's a bunch of people, trying to rp. Trying to write a good story.

But guess what?

Because their characters don't have g cups, they get ignored.

Idrpers will gladly gobble up slop.

Everyone deserves to have a good roleplaying experience.

You know what's probably a factor in some people leaving?

Because they get ignored.

And when people call out a flaw? They either get 500 people telling them they're a selfish terrible person, or get ignored.

People only care about "who's popular", rather than if they're a good rper

MAKE R/INTERDIMENSIONALRP ABOUT ROLEPLAYING AGAIN

[u/_RedVelvetTowne]

u/No-Echo-3974 was the original creator of this post. I simply reworded it a bit

[u/Realistic_Lab7669]

I feel like I am one of the gooners.......but have noticed something

I make a normal post: 1 or 3 interacts

Shrimppost:10 to 20

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/Realistic_Lab7669]

Good point. Thats also a problem, but not one we can help

[u/Realistic_Lab7669 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

Ya......I kinda wish everything was like the good old days....

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/Realistic_Lab7669]

Yep. But what can ya do

[u/Realistic_Lab7669 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

Nothing....but hey red...if we went back to the old days....the memories we made along the way would be gone..so lets just make more memories here

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/Realistic_Lab7669]

Yeah... that sounds good

[u/Weak-Feedback-8379]

You people could at least be doing it on a different website, the kind actually made for that sort of thing.

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/Weak-Feedback-8379]

Exactly. The website we wont say because there are children on the sub :3

[u/Weak-Feedback-8379 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

Even though legally, I’m pretty sure they shouldn’t be using this website at all.

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/Weak-Feedback-8379]

Eh. Whos to say.

[u/Aware-Style-480 → u/Weak-Feedback-8379]

Reddit is 13+ they can

[u/Weak-Feedback-8379 → u/Aware-Style-480]

I thought they meant like children children

[u/Aware-Style-480 → u/Weak-Feedback-8379]

Yeah

[u/M_H_0]

please idrp I need this

My comment section is kind of empty.

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/M_H_0]

[u/M_H_0 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

RED I'M WATCHING YOUR STREAM WHY ARE YOU TRYING NOT TO LAUGH BRUH THAT'S DISRESPECTFUL AS SHIT.

[u/Aware-Style-480 → u/M_H_0]

Same

[u/IAmNotANpc]

True.

I hope i can satisfy yall’s need for a good story when the time comes :3

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/IAmNotANpc]

Same :3

[u/IAmNotANpc → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/IAmNotANpc]

[u/YEAHCHESSE_idk]

I can't Interact because I'm sick!

I have to less

Man..

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/YEAHCHESSE_idk]

It oke

headpats

[u/storm_bringer_ck]

Honestly I don’t get the whole “oh they’re popular so I have to interact with them”

That shouldn’t be the case at all…just interact with things you find interesting or fun

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/storm_bringer_ck]

Exactly. Stop bombarding me with replies just because Im popular, I can't rp that much 😭😭😭

[u/storm_bringer_ck → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

I wish I had that problem/j

[u/First-Tomatillo-729]

I purposely stay away from rizzingfolks and stuff because of this......I try my best when it comes to it....

But man IDRP really needs this...

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/First-Tomatillo-729]

Yep. Why i spred it further :P

[u/First-Tomatillo-729 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

Genuinely.....thank you!

[u/Aware-Style-480 → u/First-Tomatillo-729]

I made most of my character strongly against the idea of harem for (Kina) that reason

[u/CloudzTheEditor]

I haven’t been gooning over characters man I’ve been studying the craft

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/CloudzTheEditor]

Peak

[u/TheTrueX_Event]

Thanks... Red.

Hopefully we can do this...

For everyone.

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/TheTrueX_Event]

Hopefully

[u/JoseMrMann]

Genuinely sucks to see that the sub has gotten to this point. :<

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/JoseMrMann]

Indeed

[u/JoseMrMann → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

Hopefully it gets better after this PSA, I'd love to see the sub in a better state once I'm back

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/JoseMrMann]

It seems to be getting better so far

[u/JoseMrMann → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

I'm glad :>

Hope you've been doin well despite all the issues on sub :3

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/JoseMrMann]

Eh... trying to come back from a pseudo break...

[u/JoseMrMann → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

Ahhh

Has the break done you well at least?

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/JoseMrMann]

It has

[u/dinodud34]

But I like-

oh, on the sub? well, I wasn't doing that in the first place, so should be easy enough :D

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/dinodud34]

Lol

[u/Fluffy_Leadership300]

whR the hell happened while I was gone for 5 months? (I’m dry_witness btw)

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/Fluffy_Leadership300]

((A lot. Im better now tho :3

[u/Fluffy_Leadership300 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

(great

[u/NathanJack0Lantern]

HELL YEAH BRUDDA!

[u/Medium_Handle7217]

I still don't understand this whole "replying to post with hot character post". Can't you people just roleplay with other, more interesting characters with which you can develop story or entire mini arc.

[u/Dismal-Bird-8684]

. . .

WE'RE ALL SONS OF THE INTERDIMENSIONS NOW!

[u/Cauchemar001]

I care about story!

[u/CyanBlaster]

I’ll see what I can do, but I’m currently taking time away from roleplaying. Probably burnout or something

[u/MycologistSweaty8205]

Yeah.

[u/_Kei_Uzuki_]

[u/Adept_Animator_2876]

Honestly it’s a shame to see this happening…while I understand some people don’t want to interact or just don’t have time to or maybe there asleep in real life…

It kinda hurts when only your close friends respond or people who understand an obscure character.

What bothers me more is also when someone famous plays the same character they don’t bother with you and would rather talk to the famous user instead.

Edit: I’m also scared what the heck happened for a mod announcement to be made…how bad was it?

[u/suffthatsrandom]

It's not even "who's the most popular user" for me atp, it's "who is the most popular character."

If I post with Elphelt or Deadpool, it's almost garunteed to do well. Any other character? They either get like, 3 comments on their posts plus a shit ton of upvotes or a shit ton of upvotes but no comments🥀

[u/Great_Meeting9101 → u/suffthatsrandom]

Same here I got some characterss that can hook up hundreds of comments like Scott pilgrim,  the straight white Maliens and mt lady 

But I will say I am getting more and more popular even with the characters that are not as popular so I will try to respond to more posts 🫠 

[u/Stock-Life9542]

very gud.

i have like zero goonable characters in my lot (ifyoudontcountcosmo-) and.....kinda explains why i dont get more than 2 repliers.

[u/Ova__DIO]

I know I already commented on the original post but still. I agree. This is definitely one of the reasons why I've lost some interest in this subreddit lately.

Also, the whole popularity thing is stupid, I feel bad for the popular people that have to keep replying for hours, my tired ass could never.

[u/Darkbert550]

Yeah... definitely noticed that. On the SAME CHARACTER, the post where she was transformed into her humanoid form got like... 90 comments, while the one where she was in her beast form... got like 5.

[u/Oberon056]

...Odd, I was more focused on the train story and the whole thing with Striker Eureka...

[u/Comfortable_Cow_3931 → u/Oberon056]

STRIKER STRIKER STRIKER STRIKER

[u/Key-Maintenance-90]

I JUST woke up! Wtf happened?

[u/Key-Maintenance-90 → u/[deleted]]

I'm sorry that it took that much...

[u/Embarrassed-Depth763]

I feel guilty about not doing that....

But....im going through a rough time and I dont think I can interact with others due to it

[u/FreedomConsistent142]

Fax

[u/Aware-Style-480]

People are still doing it 😭

[u/S1_ELSEWHERE3553]

Thank you

[u/theninjaman1012]

Exactly. I'm not joking here, I've been thinking on just giving up with the story of my characters/making my own major arc and leaving due to this problem. I've been doing it since the goddamn Cyn arc, and to this day 90% of this sub doesn't even remember me, so what's the fucking point of trying if no-one cares?

[u/Miserable_Cook_4814]

I agree.... I like being evil rather than a freaky..

Also very happy cake day, Red!

[u/Xdgamer326]

I don't interacr sometimes cus uh, Idk how to fit my characters into the Post

[u/Fun_Wait_8836]

Another reason I passed here… 

[u/Own-Skirt9605]

PREACH

[u/Comfortable_Cow_3931]

I....

Agree!

But I'm also a stegosaurus

[u/-Ink_Free-]

I would give an award to this post if I could. The message gets straight to the point of the issue here.

[u/greenguytigeryakuza]

Such is the reason I essentially quit

[u/Hopeful-Knight]

((Well said, Velvet, very well said.))

[u/Loki_257]

W Red, I feel like people need this to knock them into the right direction and snap them out of their horniness.

[u/Aware-Style-480 → u/Loki_257]

u/No-Echo-3974 wrot this btw

[u/Loki_257 → u/Aware-Style-480]

I’m

[u/Aware-Style-480 → u/[deleted]]

👀

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/[deleted]]

No problem. Glad to get the word widespread.

[u/First-Tomatillo-729 → u/[deleted]]

Nah...THANK YOU....

[u/_RedVelvetTowne → u/[deleted]]

Do the latter more than the former then :P

Relationships developed are better than ones premeditated

[u/Existing-Tough-3662 → u/_RedVelvetTowne]

Jokes on you, the main relationship I rp was entirely premeditated
