Rant Time
You know, I haven't updated this in ages, so I feel even more shitty that my doing so is as a rant.
But I really need to get this off my chest.
It's official, I'm an RP slut. I joined Theatrical Muse and On The Couch with Cass. I made an AU game where I play Jason. And I let myself be talked into making an RP journal for Bruce. The latter isn't part of any game.
All of which is a lot of fun.
However I had one of the RPers comment that my Bruce was "too soft." Not one to back a way from criticism, I asked why.
To make a two part and MANY hours long argument very short: I was told that I'm claiming to have the definitive interpretation of Bruce and that I have problems with how the other characters interact with him him.
If anyone reading this is have that "WTF" feeling, I'm right there with you. Now granted, I'm new to this kind of RP and am not sure how to lock posts to given characters. So that could have something to do with the impression of Bruce being soft. But that said....
I went to great lengths to point out that this is how I was playing the character in the RP journal and to explain WHY I have the interpretation I do. Hell, I even edited Bruce's LJ profile to list some of the issues I've been pulling from. And at no time did I say that I didn't think another character would behave a given way with Bruce. I have no idea where that one came from.
And I've said a number of times that everyone has their own interpretation, this is mine.
I do admit to having gotten mighty pissy when the other person claimed to know more about Bruce's interactions with the other characters....AFTER she admitted she hasn't read as far back as I have, that in fact she hadn't read Gotham Knights at all, which is what I'm drawing from.
So yeah. I'm frustrated, tired of being accused of things I didn't say and feeling more then a little abused since I made the journal so people could have fun. Being told I'm arrogant and that I think my version of Bruce is the only one, is not fun. At all.
