CRAZY roleplayer
Anyone ever encountered an over-sensitive roleplayer?
They engage in arguments in the cbox and continue despite other people admitting they're uncomfortable with the topic and asking them politely to stop.
The argue with the admin unnecessarily and make wild accusations at other members that are both irrational and disruptive to the community.
Even been on a forum where you just didn't feel like logging on because of the way someone would attack every single thing you said, even if it was in character?
This is my situation.
I roleplayed with a fantastic writer, we'll call the person, "Titan For Dance", starting about March or so this year. I was excited because I loved all of this roleplayers characters. They knew how to write- it was exciting. At first, there were no problems. I started roleplaying with other members on this forum and found out that there was a great roleplaying forum that all of these awesome writers on the board I was on also roleplayed at. I joined that board, too, hoping for more fantastic roleplays.
Everything went smooth. I hooked up with a bunch of roleplayers and was able to chat with Titan for Dance in the cbox, because they didn't use instant messengers and I feel it's always faster to plot in a cbox. Now, situations started springing up in the cbox.
Titan for Dance would get into arguments with everyone over everything.
One time an admin was talking about their character in the cbox and described her as a "bitch". Titan of Dance freaked out, insisting that no woman deserved to be called a bitch. Alright, alright....as true as that may be... do fictional, imaginary characters that YOU created still qualify as that? This admin was not calling someone elses' character a bitch- it was their character. I was baffled. Too, I'm not even going into the fact that this roleplayer had used the word 'bitch' more than once in their own roleplaying threads. I'm not sure how that's okay and yet they had to jump on anyone who uses the term outside of a roleplay, even when the context is describing a CHARACTER of a roleplay. Okay, okay, fair enough. But it gets worse.
At one point in time, I used the word 'transexual' in a conversation and quoted a movie, "The Hangover Two", dealing with 'chicks with dicks'. Titan for Dance FREAKS out as if I've personally made a transphobic remark. I try to explain to Titan that this was a comment made in a movie, but apparently that doesn't justify it, and that I cannot ever quote transphobic movie lines in risk of offending Titan.
Besides freaking out over little details and continuing even after explicitly being asked to stop, Titan of Dance seemed to have the perverse need to discuss female menstruation cycles in the cbox. There seemed to be no filter about talking about cramps,the texture and feel of the blood coming out between their legs. I particularly found this kind of gross and inappropriate, and it led to me not even wanting to post in the cbox when these gross bodily function discussions would come out. Even the admin of this forum suddenly vanished when Titan came in the cbox talking about these types of things, because the Admin couldn't control her and it was a sad situation because besides the craziness outside of roleplaying, Titan was a GOOD writer. You would thread with Titan of Dance and love it, and you'd also love the sort of plot ideas you could come up with. The craziness...oh , it just gets worse.
Now, Titan of Dance had been on this forum wayyy before I was, in fact, roughly a year. We both roleplayed with the admin of this forum and both had ooc sort of friendships with the Admin. I began to pick up that Titan of Dance did NOT like the admin of the forum, because apparently, he was sexist. When she talked about it, it seemed really convincing. The admin had apparently called Titan his 'cheerleader' and make sexually provocative remarks towards Titan when I had not been a member. Titan would CONSTANTLY chew the admin out about the admin's sexist ways, even when it was clear no one else wanted to hear about it. Titan complained constantly about the admin being so horrible and how they wanted to work it out but he never would, and when I would offer to mediate the conflict between the two it was always refused because 'it would never help'. It seemed Titan's problem was unsolvable- it was so horrible, and yet Titan didn't want to make any efforts to change it, only complain about it constantly and make others uncomfortable by being caught in the middle.
For a long time I tried to keep the peace between the two, and for a long time, I believed Titan. I had never seen any evidence of sexist ways of the admin but it had seemed true the way Titan stated it. Then, one day...
Titan totally flipped. Titan of Dance was quitting the site because they couldn't take the sexist remarks anymore. Titan not only posted a long, about 10,000 word rant about what had happened on the public forums (Something which, when someone is leaving a forum, I feel is kind of disrespectful and distasteful. The ranter gets the last word and leaves on a bitter note), too, she PM'd several members with even longer personal details about the conflict.
So, Titan leaves the forum and that's that, never heard from Titan again.
I get to know the admin better and realize...Titan was just crazy. I've NEVER seen the admin act in a sexist way towards any member and it turns out, Titan was just super sensitive, as well as refused to bring any conflict 'out of the limelight' and settle it in PMs because apparently Titan liked the attention of the conflict.
I mean once, we even got a rant about how the Admin was racist because of the way they wrote an NPC. Now...racial stereotypes may not be the prettiest of all things, but they exist for a reason. Racism is contingent on the point that you are putting one race as inferior to another. The admin did nothing of a sort, only wrote a stereotype. Fiction is FULL of stereotypes. Too, it was inappropriate for Titan to call the admin out publicly in the cbox once again....Titan just couldn't get enough.
Then, I hear Titan has joined this forum that people from the forum she left roleplay on, too. All hell breaks loose when I find a hoard of rants by Titan on the internet about the people on this forum that are completely unfounded. The people on the forum eventually find them and feel HORRIBLE because they trusted Titan and Titan is just bashing them on the internet behind their backs. I went through all of Titan's rants because I was afraid that Titan had bashed on me without me knowing...I mean...the things Titan said in these rants were completely unfounded and to me just demonstrated how sick this person was.
I loved writing with Titan, but the roleplayer was just CRAZY out of character! Crazy! You couldn't say anything without Titan freaking out. Now, I don't like complaining about people....but it just drives me up the wall that this person has actively written mean things about writers I still write with to this day. Is it out of jealousy, or something? I'm not sure. But I was just mortified to find out that this person has been making fun of people's applications on the site Titan is currently on, poking fun of people that to their face they act friendly to.
If you're going to be a jerk.....
Why not just be out in the open about it?
Probably because no one would like Titan very much or trust this person if they knew how they really were!
Please tell me I am not the only one to experience this.
