Am I the only one who is not okay with it?
I know people do it all the time whenever it may be doing it subconciously or entirely on purpose. I have done it a couple of times in the past. I have wished for specific characters join a roleplay too but never have I limited my muse's romantic/ual attraction to them.
I loathe face/otp chasing because it encourages exclusion and its so upsetting, embarassing and disgusting to witness some of it. I even got disgusted at myself who encouraged face chasing 4 years ago.
Just because the face chaser talks to everyone doesn't mean its fine. I understand that roleplaying is not about romantic relationships but what if it were a roleplay? What if it was master/slave, hybrid au, omegaverse? Themes of roleplays were you were meant to partner up? Those who roleplay with faceclaims that are not in demand are left in the dust.
There are people who take great initiative to resquest roleplaying from other roleplayer but they don't receive much because of their faceclaim. They are not offered the equal chance because the face is more important than their roleplaying alone.
Why do face chasers join roleplays in hope they'll have their otps granted or hook up a plan to join a rp to make an otp happen? Mind as well do it a pm rp, no difference right there.
Why else do I not roleplay my usual male characters in straight rps? Its because majority of those females are thirsting for specific male idols and ignore the rest. (You stupid fangirls only looking for your bias) Its also no different in same- roleplays too. This site is cluttered with roleplays with an advertising title "____ wants ____" And its usually the same kind of facelciams being requested.
I know I may be wrong, I know I might not be making any sense. But this is meant to get off my chest. If anyone ever reads this you are free to agree or disagree.
