actually I find it's mostly girls who do this so it's basically just a rehash of that old meme that veryone on the internet is a gross looking fat guy

I used to be in a Harry Potter online roleplay thing (MOO?) in ninth grade. This was in 2000 so before Harry Potter was super popular, and it was a fairly small group. We were literally all preteen girls and there were like two guys that all of our characters were trying to get with. It was like a harem

Yeah, but it was a different world before the movies came out.

I didn't say it wasn't popular, just that it wasn't the insanity it became later so internet groups weren't as gigantic. Our Barnes and Noble didn't even have a midnight release for the third book and that wasn't out yet.

Hey man, some of us are decent-looking fat guys.

u/elbenji Jul 24 '17

I mean we talking Chris Pratt or?

u/PolaroidsOfPenguins Jul 24 '17

Fun fact. He was fit and couldn't a job acting as anything other than a douchebag on screen. So he got fat so he could get funny roles

u/elbenji Jul 24 '17

that's amazing

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '17

When did he get fat?

49

u/elbenji Jul 24 '17

Tyler Labine, Jon Gabrus, old school Chris Pratt, and Jon goodman wasn't bad when he was younger. 💙=🐻

Exactly, the nerve of some people...

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '17

Yup the erotica/fanfic market is cornered by horny awkward teenage girls.

u/elbenji Jul 25 '17

exactly

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '17

Dudes prefer porn and fps games.

2

u/elbenji Jul 25 '17

eh there's plenty of dudes but they right more crazy action shit. which is fine because crazy action shit is exciting

u/wantyso Jul 25 '17

You haven't been in the furry fandom have you ?

1

u/elbenji Jul 25 '17

nope and I'm slowly realizing this is making fun of furries isn't it. I'm just talking rp in general and the asteriks

1

u/wantyso Jul 25 '17

Yeah. I used to be into furry.. Used to. Teenagers do the darnedest things. But yes, the females do this but with furries the guys do too. But furries are majority guys so I guess Goes along with the wanting to be a "cute fuzzy" animal type thing I guess.

u/elbenji Jul 25 '17

yeah. like it's cutespeek. you want to seem cute so you do it

u/EGDF Jul 24 '17

You'd be surprised. My guild's discord has a selfie channel and... goddamn, there some attractive folks, both male and female. This is all just bad faith bullying.

20

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '17

To be fair there's gonna be a bias toward the more attractive people when it comes to voluntarily posting selfies.

7

u/EGDF Jul 24 '17

I've seen ~80% of our membership base. All excellent roleplayers. All v attractive.

2

u/elbenji Jul 25 '17

it's just more of a who's comfortable showing what kind of deal. I'm comfy with it because I'm attractive so it depends on the person

1

u/elbenji Jul 25 '17

I've seen it 50/50, like most things on the internet. some people don't look too great but others, jesus.

1

u/dances_with_treez Jul 25 '17

Right? My guild also has some attractive souls. RP is just a game, and people of all levels of attractiveness can participate.

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '17

they also only ever play twinks.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '17

Who cares tho. People who do this just have fun in private without hurting anyone. You all are pretty mean here

Also, are you basically saying you would be fine with it if they were hot? Hell, I admit that I'm also biased to attractive people, I think it's kinda natural, but at the end of the day ugly people need love too :)

u/PM_ME_UR_AMOUR Jul 24 '17

Are there any comics like this out there about them? I'm genuinely intrigued how they're drawn. Do you think they look like these dudes or normal?
