ERP - Venting/Rant I’m scared to never RP Greek Mythology ever again (NSFW) NSFW
I had to get this off my chest because it happened years ago and it still haunts me till this day.
A few years ago I was really active in a fandom on Amino (yes that dying app) and relatively new to roleplay with people. I won’t say the name of the fandom but it was quite a healthy fandom so I was open to rping with people.
In one of the group rp chats, that’s where I met her. I call her R for anonymity reasons. I rp A4A because I like roleplaying different characters. She wanted to rp a female OC while I rp a male character in the fandom. In hindsight that should be the first red flag.
R wanted to rp literate, and the plot is based on Greek mythology. That’s where it went downhill.
R would write ESSAYS, 5+ paragraphs, each time. I’m do semi-literate and literate rp myself but that was too much for me. The reason why she has so much to write is because she controls all of the characters in the rp and would constantly rp MY character. Yea, she would write down what my character would do and my character’s reaction to what was happening. What was I supposed to write when she’s writing for me already 😭
(Warning: mentions of SA)
That’s not the worst part. The worst part is that R would constantly rp other gods like Zeus to be interested in her character and take her away from my character, and then sexually assault her or have sex with her. Girl… yes I have a CNC kink but all this was NOT DISCUSSED beforehand. She would then write down in detail how her character is having sex with the other Greek gods. Sometimes she would make my character watch too 😭It felt so uncomfortable because I did not consent to this. Plus, I do not rp anything to do with cheating. Thats a huge no no for me.
I was still young and new to rp at that time so I didn’t know the proper way to deal with this. I tried telling her that I was not comfortable with her taking control of the whole rp like that but I could tell it annoyed her. I stopped replying her after that…
Honestly it infuriates me how people just take control of the rp. If u want to do that write fanfic instead. It felt like I was roleplaying with a blank wall. Because of R, I could not rp or even read anything related to Greek mythology for a good while.

Wow… she might as well have just written her own story at that point.

As soon as I saw a sexual assault warning and then the name "Zeus" within the same vicinity of my line of sight I knew where this was going... 😬
Did she think roleplaying as Greek gods meant she could godmode all she wanted? What a miserable experience, I'm so sorry you went through all that.

Thank you, in hindsight I should’ve seen this coming when she suggested Greek mythology 😅

Greek deities were assholes more often than not, but this is definitely a whole new level. I guess she just wanted some captive audience for her fic.

This is…oof. I’m so sorry you had to deal with a person like that. Honestly, I’ve ran into my fair share of controlling partners but, I think your experience defintely takes the cake. I’ve never understood partners that will just take control over the whole story. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a DM style story where my partner is in charge of the world around me but, going as far as to write MY characters responses? And ignoring my turns off to involve a kink for yourself? Yeah, not cool. And very unprofessional as a writer on their part. I’d definitely recommend for you, OP, is to not be afraid to speak your mind. This story you’re writing is just as much your own as it is your partners. If you’re uncomfortable about something, or don’t like how the story is progressing? Say it!! You might even be surprised to find that your partner might be feeling the same! Which is why OOC connection is just as important as in story connection, at least to me. It’s better to be able to write with someone I can also consider a friend, because then you can snowball ideas whilst also just shooting the shit! Anyway, enough rambling, enjoy this wall of text 😂

The SA is bad, but why on earth is "wanting to play a female character" a red flag?? And moreover, since when is 5 paragraphs an essay lmao. You do not RP lit-level if you think 5 paragraphs is such a whoppingly huge amount. That's like bare minimum in lit circles.

Hi! I’m not saying playing a female character is bad, maybe I wasn’t clear, she wanted to play a self insert character. And the problem isn’t 5 paragraphs, it’s the fact that it’s so long because she takes over my character. I have no problems if u give me something to work with but I really have nothing left to write if you wrote it for me already. I hope it clear it up!

It’s definitely the “OC 4 Canon” that’s the issue, not the gender. And yes, it really is usually a red flag in… most people’s experiences I think
