Experience #6 - The Real Reasons Why I Stepped Away From Fandoms (Part 2)
TW: Same as previous experience
Yup. I'm still going there with the roleplaying woes. But this will be shorter and a bit more on the lighter side, yet it remains as an extreme change of views to why I end up leaving one of them for another.
I remember a place called Warp1, which was an online chat site for Roleplaying. I used to love this room called Project Japan (it was once moved from Ethereal Realms due to me and a friend being banned from it due to explicit content). Though I've been grateful for the room owners' defense of me and him, it was not enough to make me stay due to how I was being treated later on.
The moment that made me want to leave the room was the mere fact how my feelings were invalidated when I mentioned to them how they were talking badly about me and my roleplaying abilities while I was away. If being hurt about it is considered petty, to me, that's more than enough to say "I'm leaving." However, that did not happen until after another attack while I actually IN the chatroom by being utterly humiliated once again.
I was thankful for Gaia Online at the time since it shifted my interests elsewhere other than that room. Even being a host in Zero Gravity couldn't keep me at Warp1 (in spite of having a better experience), mainly because of one of the hosts. Again, like the previous entry, everything felt awkward. I couldn't bring myself to be more friendly around someone who made me feel like crap, regardless of the reasons.
The difference in the fandom there was that I've simply outgrown them, not because of the people. If I thought about it, I could've quit roleplaying from there.
