If you RP in a public forum long enough, you’re going to have a hater.
I, personally, have just acquired a new one. ((WOO HOOO! LOL XD))
Not everyone is going to like the way you RP. They won’t like your character, your storylines or your grammar. Something.
Once someone realizes that they don’t like how you RP, most people would simply ignore what you RP at that point.
But – for some, strange reason – some people are not content to quietly unfollow you or to not look at the RP threads you post in.
No, they have to attack you.
That, my friends, is when you have a hater.
Why Haters Hate
Now, before I start my little rant, please understand that there are some people that I simply cannot stand to watch RP. Seriously – there are things they do that just make me go “ick.”
But you know what? I’m not the end-all, be-all of RP judging, so I quietly unfollow them and that’s the end of it. No big deal. They have fun and I don’t have to watch it. Everyone’s happy. ( And, most of the time, they have a good number of followers, so my opinion is obviously in the minority. *shrugs* I’m cool with that. )
But haters are different. They aren’t happy with ignoring you. Because of some deep-rooted issue, they have to let everyone know – including you – that they dislike the way you RP.
Why?
I have a few theories:
- Jealousy
- Pettiness
- Psychological issues
- No life
- And a few others I’ll keep to myself
So then you are faced with a choice.
Live and Let Live
I have seen some truly spectacular fights over RP. Stunning ones. Devastating ones.
But – at the end of the day – it’s just RPing. It’s not worth getting that upset over. (Now, if it’s an argument IRL with someone you RP with, that’s another story. Not what I’m talking about.)
If someone has an issue with the way you RP and simply wants to be a jerk about it, ignore it.
Honestly, don’t lose sleep over it. Don’t fight over it. That’s what the hater WANTS you to do.
Just unfollow, block and ignore.
And that’s all I have to say about that. :D
