Re: OP again
aaagh I do not get why they do that. I understand when it's a computer game and you just want to have the most maxed-out character possible but for a game where you're RPing with other people, why would you want to play the same boring character over and over again. :(
I hate the technically-same-person ladies trope. It's (oops spoiler) the worst thing about one of my favourite books, ILLUMINATUS! and I worry that there are still people out there who do it because they think erasing women is like really meaningful and clever ://// Weird thing is, I feel like that kind of specificity about women is a common munchkin trait; just like they want to play their one true powerfullest character, they also want their character to have the one true beautifullest woman, and waist-hip ratio is just another stat to min-max over.
There is a Captain Awkward tag for this shit - http://captainawkward.com/tag/the-african-violet-of-broken-friendship/ There's also something I read years ago that's stuck with me ever since; there's no therapeutic counselling and repair process for friendship the way there is for a poorly functioning but salvageable marriage. Friendships are often important enough to be worth saving (especially when one has few friends) but we don't see that work as important enough to warrant formal, professional support.
I do hope you make friends in your new fandoms so this guy isn't a problem any more. Innocence lost can be replaced by confidence gained, I hope.
