20. I'm just kind of curious... What do you mean by pushy RPers?

I'm curious too. I suspect the secret-maker has a lot of RP-promoting friends, but I've been sitting here in my tiny corner of the Bleach fandom actually bemoaning the lack of good games up until like, three days ago. XD

Oh, that might be it. XD I'm only in one (multi-fandom) RP, and while the Bleach players there are very much into their fandom, they're all super nice and wonderful and made me want to finally sit down and read the manga in the first place.

Many of them seem to want to dominate large-scale plots, and do silly things that {to me} scream 'attention whore.' It's not a problem with all the Bleach RPers I've ever seen. I'm even pretty good friends with some of them. But it seems to be a strange overall trend, one I don't see in many other fandoms. Sort of like 'my fandom is what's in fashion right now, so your characters get to care about my character's plot.' I don't think it's the size of the fandom, either. I don't see this trend with other fandoms that are still in fashion, like Full Metal Alchemist.

I saw someone in a community getting bullied into sending in a roleplay application for a Bleach character a while back, and that really inspired the secret. I'm sure it's just a few Bleach RPers giving the larger group a bad name, but some of my friends are starting to resent them all a bit for it.
