I don't want this to be a flame war, but a serious discussion.
Suuure you don't.
We older members are confused by you newbies.
We want to know why you all act in a certain way. I mean no offence, and I don't want to over-generalize, but there is a definite stereotype developing.
Offense. (*hides*)
The stereotype involves things like hugging, petting, pretending to be animals, being cute, being lazy and exhibiting no creativity beyond tired Japanese cliches.
I know many of you will take offence at this. But I'm afraid that's the stereotype that's threatening to develop.
I dunno. I greet people how they greet me.
I'm in a very down time of my life right now, and it's kinda nice to show up in the cbox and have people throw themselves at me for hugs. Hugs create endorphins, even when they're just cyber hugs.
In the older days, everyone seemed to have distinct personalites - Paorou with his comics, Torsty and Darkness with their weird jokes, Palonis with his cynicism, JackShade with his dramatic flair, WMD with his Warhammer zeal, and so forth.
I'm still working on my gimmick.
And my name is in no way an attempt to pass myself off as an animal! It was meant to be more a self-derogatory reminder not to be such a rp slut, and because I was tired of the anime reference of The ZeroSystem.
So what I want to know is, are the older members just seeing it wrong? Are we simply blind to your diverse personalites? Were we all the same when we first joined Iwaku?
Or is it something more - something cultural or generational that is making you all conform to this pattern of behaviour?
Probably. But I don't get out much so I wouldn't really know.
Like I said, I don't intend to offend or cause arguments. I'm just curious about the patterns I'm seeing.
Oh shove it Asmo you know you love a good argument.
And Mryn has been commandeered as my virtual stuff toy, because I am not allowed to have a dog- lay off that. I have to have SOME kind of maternal outlet or I'm liable to kill someone.
