10. Agreed \o/ However, just as often the valid reasons are also misunderstandings! A lot can achieved by setting aside bias or initial disruptions and just talking to people =\ And then there's a lot of blanket hatred on RPs that I don't really get. Short of communities that tramp around going "Whoo! We're elitist and proud of it!" i've never actually seen a community where everyone is elitist. It goes both ways, you know? What about the stranger who shows up in the midst of a bunch of friends and starts telling them their elitist? you might just be 'pointing it out' but it's still an insult, and unless done carefully you're going to offend people.
I can certainly see how an RP, any RP, can be percieved as elitist, clique-y, and accused of dogpiling! But people in general do that. clique's are often just groups of friends that are comfortable with each other. in jokes aren't made to make you feel left out so much as to make them feel closer to each other. And dogpiling can be anything from making people angry, to hurt, and they want to either give the impression they don't care, or argue back, or point out the hypocrasy.
I don't know what RP specifically you're talking about! I don't suppose it matters. I hope you work things out. And I hope it is just a misunderstanding.
16. FMA manga is way different than anime. You can read that and still enjoy it? =D
20. I loved this post =\ Not because I have any issue with milking compilations as long as it gets me moar Zack, but that post secret made me sad too =\ Learning that your childhood hero isn't a perfect god (facts true or not!) shouldn't disillusion one from still loving what inspired you.
