RP is a part of fandom, in a sense that it's not really fandom. It's like a tribute to fandom or something. Like fanfiction. And in fandomsecrets, you talk about the fandom itself, not a tribute to it, which is RP.
And besides, most of the people are only using RP!secrets as an opportunity to bullshit on other roleplayers.
I don't see how RP is any less a part of fandom than, say, fanfiction is, by that definition. Are you in favor of kicking out all secrets that talk about that, too?
edit: okay you mentioned fanfic, I can't read.
But the question stands, since I've seen fic secrets and fanart secrets and the like here, as well. If you want to get rid of RP on that justification, what about those?
I don't see how fanfic and fanart secrets could be as much of a problem as RP secrets currently are. The problem is that people are using fandomsecrets mostly as a means of venting out their frustrations on other RP members, which is quite unpleasant in a large scale. Unlike fanart and fanfiction, when somebody posts about RP secrets, referring to a fandom anymore. When they say, "I love this role-player" or "I dislike this role-player because they're OOC", the fandom is oftentimes not mentioned, as opposed to comments about fanfiction and fanart. And that's my opinion.
EDIT: When I said, "Unlike fanart and fanfiction, when somebody posts about RP secrets, referring to a fandom anymore.", it didn't really make any sense, because that was a typo. Apologies.
What I meant by that statement is "Unlike fanart and fanfiction, when somebody posts about RP secrets, they're not referring to a fandom anymore."
Lulz. Apparently you're not the only one who can't read here, as well. And curiously, my post doesn't edit option, so I can't edit the same post.
Wow, did you some how miss all the 'I love this artist/author's style but why does she draw this pairing' or 'why is this person so popular when their art sucks' or 'I am a writing bnf but I hate my fangirls' secrets?
