I've found that those types tend to be really shitty RPers to boot.

[elaminator]

I've never RP'd so I can't add anything to that discussion, but I do wonder how someone who spends so much of their time being abrasive and unpleasant manages to be a decent RP partner. Like, even if you can deal with their shitty personality, if they spend so much of their time involved in internet drama that's less time they have to reply or think about their story and characters; seems like it would be a detriment.

[lady_dragoon]

Exactly. Not to mention that being a thoroughly shitty person incapable of empathy or basic human decency often means their character portrayals are lacking as well. Because they can't understand what makes the character they're playing tick. As a result, a lot of these types will go for melodramatic angsty bullshit rather than craft any believable character development.

[elaminator]

Huh, that's an excellent point. (That if you are incapable of empathy, of understanding others feelings or motivations then you would likely have difficulty writing anything with nuance, or any characters that had believable character development. If we're talking about the kind of person completely convinced they know everything then I guess that could bleed into their characters not learning from their mistakes, or not even making them in the first place because they can't be wrong. I guess it could work in a specific setting? Idk.)

But I'm not sure how much OP meant as they said they were trying to make the secret sound funny and people took it the wrong way. Maybe the person/people OP is talking about are a bit unpleasant but that's the extent of it.

My assumption is that whatever these people are doing may or may not be objectively "good", but it pushes all the buttons OP needs pushed, if you see what I mean.

I support this line of thought. I was in an RP group that led by someone who sounded like she was straight out of the BPD thread yesterday. She came up with plot ideas that at the time were entertaining, but on reflection were melodramatic and tropetastic.
