Just the other day I've joined a twitter roleplay. It's much more light and goofy, no serious theme or plotting. I just felt I needed to get away from heavy plotting and roleplaying for a while. In fact, my sister and I were there together, both roleplaying from the same group because that's who we biased together. We're twins, and I'm sure a few roleplayers here have come to met us breifly somewhere down the line.
Some problem escalated a little when my sister decided to leave the roleplay due to being excluded all the day and issues of OTP/Face-chasing. We all know the golden rule about it right? Have you ever been in the claws of it? I can describe it as, ty. It's a ty feeling, especially from a person who is a lot more senstive around others. Even if it didn't happen to me, I felt angry for her.
In the midst of my time there, they accused my sister and I of double accounting. Why they may have suspicions? I have NO idea, but somehow they managed to grab hands onto my IP address. It's really easy to get and IP address if you're reading this, I can get it too. Scary right? I tried to relay the message that the case is that we're twin sisters and living in the same house. I don't know if it reached them but they somehow seemed to let it slide.
Coming back to when I have asked to be unverified from the roleplay, I gave my feedback calmly like a little tidbit on how to improve the roleplay. No insults, swears and rude comments to people personally; I relayed my message on the accounts of being excluded and the fact face-chasing is present in the roleplay. They had the audacity to write back that back that I am to leave BECAUSE I have double accounting, and that I am begging to be treated like a high class person. THAT wasn't the case. I felt so insulted that just hopefully asking and not forcefully wishing that people would come talk to me instead of treating me like a ghost, was a high class to do. When was asking to be treated fairly a high class thing? Am I too low class to be treated like a human being when I am? They never took my words seriously or responded how and why they had a hold of my IP Adress.
Things would have went easier if I provided proof right? Proof that I have a twin, there's double of us and we just happen to stan the same group... but why should I provide something so personal to people on the internet, right? I mean we are all here as strangers to one another, but all we do is roleplay and we trust each other we will give out some of our personal information. THAT comes with friendly conversations, but not once I felt like I belonged into a roleplay.
What bugs me the most is that the roleplay has a rule against excluding people and face-chasing, yet they let it happen right before them.
After leaving, I felt so de-humanized. My side of the story is buried up and people took sides with people who they liked, not against how they felt. Because wouldn't many people agree that what I stated is certainly plausible? Who would agree to face-chasing? Who would agree to being excluded? That's like allowing bullying to happen.
I've had my fairshare of roleplay fails, even getting constant death threats from an individual. Surprisingly, this incident broke me more than death threats.
