I can't say that it's here only since I've been rping for over a decade on and off (I know my writing doesn't reflect it xD) but there's always a good amount of people who say they don't play boys or bottoms (I'm not going to get into the top/bottom issue since I hate it) Maybe it's a mental block. I know I have a mental block in trying to make my characters emotional, more fleshed out when in reality...I'm not a very emotional person and some things sticks out like a sore thumb. I guess I use role playing as therapy and trying to get rid of my handicaps...How well that's working is another story.
When I decide I want to rp and see that I'm instantly dismissing it.Why? In the majority of rps I've played, I'm usually the guy. Sometimes, it's fine because for months at a time I only feel like playing a guy. I don't know why really. When I have the urge to play a girl, people are weirdly misogynistic. There are times I want to play a very feminine girl because it seems fun, but people seem to hate them for being 'weak.'
Well, actually I like playing feminine girls because they go against the type of girls/women I usually rp. Sunny from the Hunger Games is the usual type. I guess I've adapted myself to playing that because I always hear complaints about girls being too frilly. Sometimes, people don't take into account that people comes in many forms. Women don't have to be brave, assertive, and no nonsense. They can be dainty, graceful, and dare I say it, submissive. The same can go with men, although I worry I give my males too much of a feminine touch. I don't really mind that aspect. That's why when people say "I'll make them girly." I'm like 'lol, idc.'
