-- Roleplay Morals and Manners
Doctor X https://www.roleplayer.me/X_Marks_the_Doctor -- Lacking Roleplay Grace -- A Real And Wrong Moral Treatment In a way it's ironic that a Doctor has to be the one writing a message like this. From a core purpose stand point in roleplay that is the reason why he chose this title -- to spread as much good nature as possible and that is a good moral lesson for everyone. However, there is a recent action that is disgusting and disrespectful and it's important to raise awareness about these things. Some themes about this might become recognisable as this blog spreads. If you are one of those who has felt the verbal lashing that I'm about to talk about then please comfort those around you. Who knows what's going on in their real lives. For those who ARE doing the adusive behavior then by all means keep reading. If you're guilty of it then this is something life threatening and you deserve to know that your actions could have deadly backlash. Depression is very real and we should strive to be civil with each other. Now... to the incident in question... I just finished comforting a very close friend of mine who thought they were quite close to a group server of people. For a while I was hearing all kinds of good things and how close like family they were. Brilliant things of adventures they were proud of and so on. But then one little window of time was enough to launch accusations of shared information. There was no press for investigation. No assessment of proof or confidence to express in a civil manner. All that came of it was a lashing of profanity and down talking that should never happen from people who are supposed to be running an organized server. Like... say if things were shared but even that is not the way to address the situation. And before anyone says anything please understand that I am not some yuppy millennial trying to gain internet fame or attention from this situation in the slightest. They didn't ask me to post this at all but it moved me -- reminding me why I took a break for a chunk of time. I just turned 37 this last September and have been writing as the Doctor for 27 years. That is an easy two thirds of my life devoted to a role I never needed a group to enjoy. The TimeLord never needed to be justified by a group or a following to stay active, and he never will. And for the record, time management and time awareness comes with the quirks of being a time traveler. It's par for the course, so to speak. I also run my own full server group that crosses Marvel and DC together with a team of admins that I am very proud of. They are amazing and respectful and I am lucky to have them considering I have two jobs while still doing my writing -- so when something moves me -- it REALLY moves me. That being said, I'm hoping that this blog finds those responsible for any abusive acts across the roleplay platform. Not just in servers and groups like this situation -- but the prowling individuals who feel they need to get their drama fix filled. We all had parents, I assume. Or at least most of us have had parents that teach us what proper manners are. Perhaps it's the younger entitled generation that I see viral videos about. The Karen breed of all different shape, sizes and ages that feel they are above everyone else no matter who they have to beat down in order to get there. The prejudice bashers that can't see past their own linear perspective -- this blog is devoted to you. You are the equivalent to the jerk boss that never could hold a good employee. The school yard bully, yuppy jock or prep that talks down to everyone else and then wonders why they don't have any real friends. You are also the predator with your words that are the root cause of social anxiety and depression in this world. This platform here is for an escape -- or it's supposed to be. People come here to put their art out there, rippling from their heart because it's the best place for it. Maybe it's the only place for it with no outlet as the rest of the world just doesn't get it. And do you notice that I am using no profanity to address you abusers? There is a respectful way to talk to people even if it is full of my own brand of sharp sass and salt. When we are talking to people here or anyone anywhere else in the world would it hurt to act with a little more grace? With the manners that we are supposed to be learning as children. Treat others how you would like to be treated. Remember that saying? As for the rest of you.... The artists caught in the middle. Don't you dare change because of these pushy people who feel they can stomp all over you. It's them that are missing out and they certainly don't deserve you -- likely have a short social circle in their real life and don't really know how to treat people. The truth is that you do matter and you DO have a spark that is uniquely YOU. It should be embraced as you walk with your art. Encouraged and bloomed into something you love. At the end of the day the only one you should be worried about impressing is yourself. Being comfortable in your own ideas and paths is the greatest feeling in the universe and no one else HAS to understand it but you. Sure there's going to be fire along the way but just know that not all the fire is meant to burn. There are others just as passionate as you and that type of fire should never be snuffed out... All it takes is the bravery to find them. Never dare st stop thinking outside the box... Well... unless that box is bigger on the inside. In that case then Allonse-y! But if you need it.... there's always room on the TARDIS, and the Doctor is in. I can't wait to hear about those glorious ideas because there is no limits. The universe is too big to sit back -- so face that fire. The times that are the best never leave a lasting burn, and with time they always heal. Keep your head up because you are brilliant and nothing can take your place. Thank you for all that you do! Never let toxic treatment tear you down! Traveling alone is easy It's about what you do with what you see out there...
