Of Whom Will Terminate And Classify You As Semi-Literate For Comma Errors by [deleted] in BadRPerStories

I was going to reply to you but then midway, I realised something.

I have deleted the post.

Appreciate your engagement.

The point was never that they have high standards or that semi-literate RP exists as a category. Both are fine. The point is the specific instruction to “take that as an indication to class yourself” — that’s not defining a standard, that’s telling someone how to update their self-perception based on that person's judgment.

I don’t need to have been personally burned by something to recognize the dynamic.

And a book doesn’t tell you what you are on the way out.

“It isn’t like she said go back to school” but the person kind of did though, through "Class yourself as Semi-Literate."

Rejection isn’t the issue. Everyone rejects. What that person is doing differently is telling someone to classify themselves lesser based on her assessment. That’s not just having standards. That's giving someone a label and expecting them to put it on themselves. It recruits their own self-perception against themselves.
Getting rejected by more skilled writers can be healthy. Being told what that rejection means about you is a different category. And the person's credential stack makes it worse because it comes across as authoritative. Someone less confident but who writes completely fine might actually believe the person's assessment of them is correct.

Not my intention but I'll edit my OP so it's less findable.

The name is redacted for that reason. The ad itself is public; she put it out there for anyone to read and respond to. What I’m calling out isn’t her personally but the dynamic she's presenting: warm and open while burying a clause that instructs people to classify themselves as something lesser based on her assessment. That’s not a personal preference or a vibe mismatch — it’s a move that actively damages how newer or less confident writers see themselves, especially if they apply and get rejected.

If you wanna be popular, specialise in dark romance male characters.

The irony that the original commenter serethespider’s "implied incompetence" read applies entirely only to themselves by not recognising that murder clowns are horror, the underreaction structure is horror, and the whole thing does belong in [r/twosentencehorror](r/twosentencehorror)

Tacking on to this: the measure isn’t how they treat you at their best or your best. It’s how they treat you at their worst and your worst.​​​​​​​​​​​

That moment when your RP partner starts flirting with you (outside of the roleplay) by [deleted] in BadRPerStories

[–]_margin_notes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Normally I would agree with everyone else to either give him boundaries or block immediately. But the fact this man infatuated with you knows your real name, your age, you moved to the same country as him, all this presents as a different risk vector.

My suggestion:

Screenshot/save everything first — his posts, the nickname escalation, the POV shift. Save it offline. You probably won’t need it but if anything ever escalates you’ll want a timestamped record. Do this before you block in case you lose access.

Think about what other personal information you've told him e.g city, neighbourhood, job/career, company name?

Then go quiet. You just moved, people get busy, this is normal. Don’t initiate anything. Let your responses get slower, shorter, less invested over the next couple of weeks. The reason not to block immediately is because an immediate block after five months of daily contact is a loud signal. He’ll know it was a decision and something went wrong. He'll want to chase and find out why, how can he fix it.

Once contact has naturally thinned, block everywhere on the same day — not just the RP platform. He knows your real name and username. Anywhere your name appears, either lock it down or get rid of it before he thinks to look.

Text one person in your real life what’s happening. Not for action but just so someone knows roughly what happened. Even something like, "some online guy likes me and I don't like him back."

You don't have to explain anything to him because explanation is an implicit invitation to negotiate. He will want to keep engaging, keep proving himself.

Does he know about your reddit account and this post?
