“Rant about anime roleplay“
A lot of the anime roleplay I have done in the past was silly, as I argued with people who were upset with the portrayal of a character, whether in a peaceful or angst-filled scenario. Here's the thing: if it's villain versus villain, both characters should be portrayed equally. One can't be super soft when that's not how they are. It's not a canon thing; it's role-playing, and it gets tricky when one wants to portray a villain as soft and gentle and the other as a jerk and abusive narcissist. Usually, I'm okay with that type of role-play and scenario, but you can't just tell me that isn't how a character acts. Both should be equally bad. If I can't portray the villain character the way I want, then I won't role-play with you because we can't agree on how to depict a character.
