why has this site become so clique/friend group based and unfriendly? so many roleplays on here are just filled with the same groups of friendsand users in every place playing the same characters. like they all just intentionally go from roleplay to roleplay with each other and exclude everyone else unless they happen to be a certain charcter that's extremely popular. if you just want to talk to your established friends and friend group, why won't you just make a friends only/private roleplay, or just pmrp? what is the point of joining a roleplay with many other users just to stay in your little bubble all or the majority of the time? it's even worse when places like to claim that they're friendly, welcoming, that face chasing isn't allowed and to make an effort to talk to include everyone yet the admins don't actually do that and take part in excluding others along with allowing others to do it as well. a lot of people won't even acknowledge someone who says hi or hello, but the second one of their friends, their s/o, or a popular character/a character they like says hi they're all "omg is that *insert user* hi!!!!!", "hi baby how are you ily uwu". "omg it's *insert specific character* hi it's nice to meet you". people will argue that you need to say more than hi but why is that only the case for people who aren't popular or your friend or significant other? why are they suddenly not deserving of acknowledgement for saying a hi or hello but those others are? if they can say a simple hi and get tons of responses and interaction that should be applied to everyone. even when people do say a whole lot more than hi and try to join in on or start a conversation, they will still often be completely ignored and talked over or it will get silent. once someone popular or part of a friend groups suddenly shows up and says something, then all of a sudden it's active again and everyone wants to start talking to them. sure, sometimes people can miss or overlook posts by others, but this happens a lot when a room is not even moving that quickly so it's obvious it's just intentional exclusion.
this also ties into move in couples, so many move in couples just go from roleplay to roleplay and spend the majority of their time just tagging each other, being coupley and lovey dovey in public, or stick to their walls/room and really only interact with each other. again, what is the point of that? why not just make a private roleplay or pmrp? is there really a point to traveling from roleplay to roleplay just to continuing roleplaying a specific couple when you only want to talk to each other? if anyone dare to call any of these things out in a roleplay when they see it, they'll just be called things like 'negative', 'toxic', or 'problematic' and most likely just get ganged up on by the groups of friends and people doing these these things and/or kicked out of the roleplay. it blows my mind that so many people on here like to preach about inclusiveness and friendliness yet are extremely selective and exclusive with who they talk to and intentionally leave others out making them feel like and ruining a place that people use for fun and to actually meet people to roleplay with. this site has changed so much since i joined i sometimes question if this is the same rpr i initially joined.
