Now, as I expand to explore LiveJournal, DreamWidth and InsaneJournal, amongst other "journal" venues, I take my lessons with me. I take my consistencies with me and yes, I take my bluntness with me. On addressing this, I will lay down a few things that as I see them, are truths.

On these journal venues, I find a different, even alien, atmosphere. The diversity is much less apparent. Here, I have encountered the things that had once been rare on AOL: The sex-obsessed whoremongers. The liars. The god-complexes with standards reached only by erasing all sense of creativity. The skinny-bitch cover models -- to quote Foamy -- that look like chemo patients. Even, to an extent, an obsession with "Canons" and a most disturbing double-standard between canon characters and original creations. A sort of "class system", if you will, wherein canons with cover-model portraits are first-class citizens and original creations are second-class citizens. And worse, non-human-like, non-covermodel-like characters are a third class of citizens.

It disturbed me then and it disturbs me now.

At this point, I can imagine many of you already screaming "Well then, go back to AOL already!" or "Fit in with us!" To both of you crowds, I have this to say. AOL has pretty much shattered, going entirely to the whoremongers and photographic tripe. And no, I will not relinquish what creative ability I have (though I myself would not call it masterful to any extent -- such things are very relative) to become another dime-a-dozen, cheap B-novel writer whose writings are either sold at Wal-Mart knockoffs for two bits or simply used as pet litterbox lining. These things are ultimately forgotten. I believe Leonard Nimoy worded it best when he said in his second autobiography:

"Some work simply fills time and space. Sure, it will please the bosses and pay the bills but ultimately, that work is forgotten. Meaningful work endures."

Thus, I too, have some standard by which I operate. These standards might seem impossible but I do not believe they are. If they were, few, if any, would be roleplaying or writing -- individually or collaboratively -- today.

Shine on you crazy diamond. LOL

Like AOL was ever some shining oasis of top grade, sex free role play. Only in R's deluded mind. Nice to see some train wrecks never change.

so do they always call oc's original creations or

Yes.

shit. that's a lot of words that a simple 'deal with it' gif could have done better. and funnier.

I always wonder, are whoremongers supposed to be like fishmongers?

And if whoremongers are supposed to be people who sell whores like fishmongers sell fish, then aren't whoremongers just...pimps?

So they're saying that we are all pimps?

pimping out our poor characters, presumably.

kinda apt when you think about her bizarre form of logic.

I suppose I can see how she'd twist it all around to get there, but pimps aren't really sex-obsessed, are they? I think of pimps as more money obsessed. Sex is just a means to the end.

Not that it's any great newsflash that her ability to use logic is about as good as that of a dead goldfish, but the whole "YOU ARE ALL PIMPS WHORING OUT YOUR CHARACTERS" thing doesn't work very well as an analogy when you think about it.

"monger" just means someone who sells something

so yes. a whoremonger is a pimp.

how would she even know what a chemo patient looks like to insult pb's about looking like them?

do we really have to go over this every time we wank about r

not all blind people are completely blind and not all blind people are born that way

you can have degenerative vision or vision that allows you to see color and shapes and still be "blind" by any reasonable legal and cultural standard

jesus i hate this bitch as much as anyone but god damn i am sick of the LOLOL BUT HOW CAN SHE SEE COLORS/CHEMO PATIENTS/MODELS/THE MOON/MY ASS IF SHE'S BLIND LOL comments

lmao acting like aol rp was some wonderland of rp

i was there too and no, it never was. take off your fucking nostalgia glasses

Here, I have encountered the things that had once been rare on AOL: The sex-obsessed whoremongers.

hahaha, oh wow, were they using a different version of AOL than I was? RPers have always been sex-obsessed, regardless of where they RP

Early Spring
Renne finds himself aboard the Flying Dutchman.

"The fuck is this thing?"

Mid-Spring
The Dutchman releases him.

I stopped reading at Foamy.

A sort of "class system", if you will, wherein canons with cover-model portraits are first-class citizens and original creations are second-class citizens.

That's true. And thats why we fucking like LJ/DW RP. If we want Mary Sues, we can go somewhere else.

To be fair, not all OCs are Mary Sues.

Tell me more about the misogyny of your people, glorious blue space horse.
