the natural response of a medieval-ish human to seeing a “demon” should be to throw rocks at it until it stops moving or run away 

ive had characters that go any way with this. not too good to put it in an itty bitty box 

sydney jumped to behead a demon for messing with his family too much

arabella would flee in terror

but then theres alistair/alice

who sees how he deals with demons as a way to look better

he "sacrificed" himself to a demon to protect others in a tavern/tea house once solely because he knew he'd make it out alive. someone, naturally, criticized him for not fighting back, so he,,, literally vented to the demon the entire horse ride away, was given life advice, it was a whole ordeal

 

tldr so long as theyre playing their character and not just doing what they themselves would do, it's not really an issue

The using descriptive words comment is stupid. Use different words if you're using them too often.

 

Then the majority of the rest is probably true. I'm going to try and pay closer attention to my own behaviour in roleplay.

No idea what you're talking about. Love all my fellow roleplayers. Dap me up!

Swfit really turned over a new leaf after villainy blacklists were implemented.

Agreed, you bring up some good points

I think in part its due to the 'gamification' of things and over stressing of having to "win" everything,

Things shouldn't be over sanitized in RP, dont like a place? Go elsewhere, its a massive world with variety everywhere.

Things shouldn't be hyper optimized and mechanics shouldn't be a trump card over roleplay (with some caveats ofc) as it just incentivizes tryhards to min-max everything into oblivion (imo this is impossible to prevent, but limiting it at least is a good start)

 

In terms of culture shifts, there is not really much you can do, things come and go and player bases change eventually.

please take down this post and drop your computer's motherboard into a trash compactor
