A note about how John is a big stupid and occasionally misogynist jerk

Aug 28, 2011 20:51

There's this thing John does that a lot of people do which is really horrible and definitely outside the boundaries of regular jerk behavior: he slutshames when he gets mad, because that's the kind of asshole he is. I try not to have him do it a lot because this is something people have to deal with in everyday real life and it's tiring as fuck, but sometimes he will come out with these statements that are really horrible and I just wanted to note this is entirely IC and not at all representative of my own views. Honestly, they're not even representative of his — it's something he says deliberately to be awful, though he's oblivious to exactly how awful and widespread it is because, well, he's a guy and he's straight and it's something he does to other people and other people don't do to him. If he realized, he might not do it anymore. Or he still might, because he's capable of being exactly that kind of douchebag.

I am really sorry if it happens, and will make every effort not to do it if possible. But it tends to come out with Rogue, particularly because he's still a little jealous of her and Bobby.

For example, in this thread he pulls that shit with Rogue (referencing a simultaneous thread Rogue is having with Gambit) because they've been arguing and he thinks she's being stupid, and also he's mad on Bobby's behalf that she could be construed as flirting with Gambit — even though it's NOT ANY OF HIS BUSINESS and he's not even friends with Bobby anymore. Rogue's player has not, at the time of writing this, contacted me with any problems about what John said but I feel a little uncomfortable with what John did, so I'm writing about it. I know it may come up again.
