RP Discussion topics
1. Race in RP- the prevalence of white individuals being used as PBs when there are plenty of PoC characters available. Admittedly more IRL than in drawn but even that isn't impossible.

2. Quality Differences - the VS mentality in RP with slapdash RPs that make it quick and dirty, and the snotty attitude that Adv Lit RPs take.

3. Limit in using IRL PBs - Are RPs which have IRL PBs considered limited, or is it a sign of a specific taste in RP? (rarely see them in fantasy settings for example)

4. Gender in RP - Why are femme guys automatically classified as gay 'uke' types? Where all the trans* folk at? Genderqueer? I'm not saying we need more chicks in suits but damn do we ever

5. The popular Mental Asylum RPs - how mental illness is often depicted according to its grossly wrong Hollywood depictions, how much research actually goes into them, mental illness being used as simple angst fuel or cliche for romance, schizophrenia and DID are not the same

6. Yaoi and Yuri - Gay boys are great and all, but where all my hot ladies making out at, seriously. Also, the seme uke labels and how people view them along with how they're damaging. Plus, absence of straight people - a missed opportunity? If you get to list sexuality instead of auto-presumed as straight, why? Also, where do trans* and non-binary folk fall into things?

7. Mary Sue - How the phrase is sexist, how everyone does it as a kid, and constructive criticism
