Moreover, outside of the RP communities, there is no issue, because there's no IC/OOC bleedover or all the variables that come in with RPers from differing factions interacting with each other. A few weeks ago, I met a couple of outlaws in Intaki, not RPers, and they invited me to their channel, where I proceeded to get initiated into their little community. It goes to what I was saying about "perspective"; the complaints pushed on myself are arbitrarily universalized, which makes me insecure and respond as such. The whole concept of "me vs everyone" makes me hesitate, and wonder that if, alternatively, people are just oversensitive instead (as well as the idea of not having any "back up")
Seri, bleedover has nothing to do with it, I have friends who are blooders, guristas, sanshas, minmatar, and Gallenteans OOCly. The problem is you lack the socialization skills needed to have meaningful human interaction (stop training HTFU, start training Social 5)
Basically it comes down to this. You lack the ability to empathize with the people you are interacting with. You don't connect with anyone, and so you have no idea how to gauge emotional investment and decide when something is appropriate or when it is going to far. I don't know if you have aspergers, or something, or you can't gauge context in a text only medium, or if you were really just that poorly socialized as a child. Either way, its not the RP community's fault, and its not IC bleedover that's at fault. You are capable of acting decent, to the point where I was defending you when others would mock you. At least you were up until the masquerade, where you decided to make a big deal over
nothing.The problem I think
isn't that there is a bleedover OOC on our part, I think that its there on
your part. Maybe not consciously, but you're expecting people to treat you badly because of your character, and you jump up to defend him as soon as anyone says anything, leading to the suggestion: Chill. The fuck. Out.
Try being self deprecating, try not taking an attack on your character as an attack on you or your ability to Roleplay. Step back, look at how much of an ass you're being, and
correct it. Or you're going to end up like each and every other community outcast.
