Y e, so...

This is the last ugly RPR questionnaire I'll have (at least until the community throws me for another loop), so I wanted to make this one count. I've been trying to find the right time to ask this, but I don't think there's really even a wrong time. I just wanted to know something, and no, this isn't a poll.

But tell me...

What do you like about RPR?

I'll be honest, it's so easy for all of us to go around and rant about what this site doesn't do FOR us or what's it's done TO us. It's easy for us to discredit it, but I find it odd that every person who calls this place "negative" or "toxic" is still here. Hell, my cheap is still here. That doesn't make any of us weak or dependent--- but I figure there's something inherently, purely decent about this place that keeps us here. I wanna give this site the benefit of the doubt and say it isn't JUST because of embittered habit that we're here... You can throw a stone at any of the 10 blogs made each day and hit at least ONE ranting about the people or the site in itself. I've written my fair share. And I know that, as relieving as it is, it's also pretty strange because if the owner of this site deleted it 5 seconds from now I'd be pretty devastated. 

Y E, I'd move on and you'd probably find me flippin  at Tumblr or whatever. But I'd honestly, truly miss this place... And I think a few others would too.

So tell me... What do you like about RPR or the community? Please don't post any "I like RPR but..." or "I used to like RPR..." No. Let's, for once, think of the positives of this site. After all, this place has done nothing. It's just a forum--- a code in the form of a giant website. It, alone, is incapable of harm.

...

I, for one, like RPR because of the convenience.
 I love just logging into one account and having so many charries sorted out. Each with their own stories and layouts and personas. It's amazingly refreshing to finally find a place MADE for roleplaying, and it's legit why I haven't left it yet.

I also love RPR for the unity that exists in one inherent similarity--- Kpop. Whether you like the music or not, we all at least know what it is. I've been on other forums before, and never have I been able to talk freely about or even mention any of that. I was able to adapt Kpop as, not just a genre, but a culture that I could share with others just as open-minded.

Finally... I love RPR for the people. Sure, we don't all get along. Sure hits the fan and things fall to pieces. That's life in and of itself, though, and I've come to accept that. I can complain about this site day in and day out, but it's through this damn site that I made friendships that I won't ever forget. I've fallen into contact with people who have truly healed me--- whether they are still a part of my "journey" or not. I've smiled and I've cried, all while clutching my phone to my chest or resting my head against the keyboard. Never before had I ever felt that someone you've never met could change your life--- but they have. You have.

 

And I appreciate that.

I like rpr because it's the best site for roleplaying ever.
Everywhere else is either ty, not made for roleplaying or just plain confusing. [ i'm looking at you, tumblr e.e ]
And despite the fact that I'm a complete asswipe, everyone is still nice to me \ ; u ; /

It's therapeutic. Allows us to be accepted and show people our vulnerabilities when we often can't in real life. To live a different life in the eyes of a character and to feel a sense of belonging in a community.

Short answer for me...

K-pop
Convenience
The fact that I don't have to see anyone on here IRL unless I want to and they do too
Can fit in with my hellish hectic schedule

I think if you can find the right people to be with on this site, then they can really become your family and best friends. I realized that really quickly that how close people are just because of a ship or a skinship that develops in an rp, especially AU ones, because I mean when I was in certain rps I was welcomed so quickly and that means a lot to me. It is nice to see that people on the internet don't always have to be vindictive and rude, and can be nice and caring towards others. <3

I like rpr because it's an efficient place for me as opposed to tumblr and instagram rping, it's a place that has managed to push me in terms of writing and a place that has managed to help me escape my problems and find my own passions for character building and writing even if I'm not going into that field.

Furthermore rpr has managed to help me find invaluable friends different from my real life friends because face to face conversations and time lags don't seem to matter here. It allows me to expand and meet different people and get outside the little bubble that I live in. The site is good for so many reasons and certainly there are downsides but that's cause humans have flaws not the site, besides better to look at the good than the bad.

RPR GAVE ME THE WAY TO BRING FAMFICS TO LIFE and make me feel them even more deeply because it's one thing to write out fanfiction and a total other thing to roleplay it out. Roleplaying seems to be a unique thing that, without RPR—a place solely for roleplaying—to get my feels going, I wouldn't be as inspired about writing. What other sites
do you know of solely for roleplaying that are open to kpop idols??

Also, being on RPR/in rp's helps me leep up with new idols and the on goings of the idol world bc LORD KNOWS IM THE WORST :') Red Velvet still seems new to me, NCTABC WHO ARE THEY?

Your reason for liking rpr is really adorable idek why but I agree. I mean sure there is negative things I encountered throughout rpr in my 4 years this far but I love this place tbh. I learned new things and new groups from this place esp making friends along the way. Even if my mom and brother think behind rping as a idol is not real well duh of there is real ppl rping each idol here and I met some wonderful ppl here that i haven't even met irl tbh. Never in a million years I would thought to love typing and writing until I came here tbh. I truly hope rpr stays on forever more because rpr is one of the reasons I feel so happy.

Like you, one of the things I like about RPR is the convenience. The ability to log into just one account and having so many characters is just wonderful. There is no need to keep track of 10000000 accounts when everything is just settled here nicely. Having a place that is made for roleplaying is wonderful, having a place where people can come together and create roleplays that would definitely interest others, have the muses and plot bunnies going. Ideas that ourselves would never have even thought of.

I love RPR for the people, there are so many wonderful people that i've met and love talking to. Of course we dont all get along but that is normal. It happens with so many minds coming together in once place, it's bound to happen. Having minds clash against each other. I, personally, haven't met many people that i didn't get along with but perhaps that's because i dont branch out very much.

I remember laughing, smiling so widely that my cheeks actually hurt. The sigh of relief and the comfort that was extended through my phone or laptop. The shrieks of embarrassment and panicking after sending something. Of course there are moments when i've cried, my heart wanted to rip itself apart and the fact that there are so many people here, healing me without badgering for answers.

I still don't get why people say it's toxic like you mentioned. Lol. If you find it injurious to your health--; the deactivate button exists ;)

Beside that...I love RPR. I generally love putting my thoughts into words (as ty as they might be) , experiment with charries to see as what extent I can mold myself into something I'm not in my life, see the difference about the same thing from different views, a way to know about culture and all, and finally last but not the least meet people who share the same ideals with me. It's a beautiful feeling when you actually got to meet someone who understands you. You can laugh and be all ty and even when you're an 26/9 e u e

i like rpr for the community. while there are moments of tension among people, i've come to appreciate those that i've loved, lost, and have yet to meet. i've made numerous connections just through a simple site, and honestly i wouldn't know where i would be or what i would be doing if i hadn't joined this place for the first time so many years ago. there are certain strong friendships that i could never, would never, give up. and while there are some that i would have preferred to never cross paths with, i think even those times can only prove as a valuable experience.
also, when i first got into kpop, i was at that sheltered stage where i feared telling /anyone/ that i liked the music and i liked writing about all the good looking talented people and it was just a really weird time in my life where i was ashamed of my interests. but then i joined rpr where all of my worries and fears were widely accepted. and this might sound horribly corny, but it was just a place where i could be myself. where i could let go and know where i won't be judged or mocked or belittled.
and meeting all these talented writers, it really helped mold and improve my own writing style, so that's a huge plus!

I love rpr because it introduced me to so many people I've come to love and care for dearly. Like if it weren't for rpr I probs wouldn't be on this earth as we speak and that says something.
