On today’s episode of “reasons I unofficially left the tumblr rp community,” I just found a blog entirely dedicated to telling people that their fc is problematic and I’m really really not surprised that it exists but tbh thanks @ them for reminding me that it’s just a microcosm of a site where I already hate engaging with people who aren’t my fandom friends (but with all the annoying stuff about this subculture piled on top)

I'm in the rpc (although, I stick to my friends) and I've noticed arguements about fcs as well. My friend got scolded for having a 17 yr old fc even though everything he wrote was strictly sfw only. :/ I dunno man, tumblr is weird.

yeah I mean I mostly avoid the issue by only using canon fcs when I can but I definitely do the same "stick to my friends" thing (which of course has been given the buzzwordy name "bubble rp" to make it sound like a Problem). I'm just glad I finally stopped having the brainpower to maintain all but one of my muses, who I write in a style that doesn't really gel with how most tumblr rp, bc I'm sure if that hadn't killed it for me then my observations of the culture would have by now
