The Worst Pern Site Ever (And That's Saying Something)

[sockunderasock]

The Pern fandom has outdone itself this time with a new incarnation of an old site. Things seemed like they were going reasonably well for us and then everything took a turn for the horrible. I'm placing the majority of this rant under a cut, but I'd like to preface this rant with an extra warning: this site is bad. It is very, very bad and the

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

The hell did i just read?

Ewwwwwwwwww

Unclean! Kill it with fire!

At least they put up a trigger warning though it shouldn't have been so damn vague. That alone will chase off a lot of players.

Sexual slavery, rape, sexual abuse, assault, and torture for the most part don't bother me since a few f them are kinks of mine but its all in how its handled and not every one is comfortable with said kinks. From what I can tell all the triggery stuff is lightly treated and used as plot hooks and the like.

A basic summary of the Weyr is only men are allowed to Impress and basically all women are slaves.

Is this GOR thinly disguised at Pern? Yuck.

The whole line about the dragonets killing themselves because a lack of male candidates makes me get a DO Not Want Face and pushes the whole if you are female you have to be a slave angle. Makes me wonder what they would do if some one apped female characters that refused to be slaves and tried to start a rebellion. Prob ban the players or god mod things instead of going that could be an interesting plot hook and roll with it

The fact young men and woman are nothing but 'cattle' and are treated as such.....just yuck. RPs that have slavery in them can be pretty good IF handled right but this? This i a train wreck with flaming babies tossed

Because of the nature of the relationship between riders and Weyrgirls/Weyrboys, it can be expected that controlled domestic violence will occur."

In other words they are allowed to beat the crap out of your character and you have no say in it. Well that just smacks of god moding

Pern RPs suck for the most part but this one? Its as if they really worked hard to make it a flaming train wreck that would drive off most players. The site is very skeevy. Its any wonder that they have any players.
