[RP Advice] You Add/Follow, You Talk/RP (Demanding Interaction)
Category: Blogging

I have noticed an increase of people like this. I have had many report to me about this very issue, across my social media. I have been a bit busy in real life as of late, so pardon the delay on this topic.

I have seen an influx of these “You add/follow, you talk/rp” people lately. It has become quite bothersome and frustrating to those on the receiving end of this little structure. I am all aware of what it means, and I do not support it in the slightest. However, even though these people do exist, we must not discriminate them.

In my own time, I too have come across these RPers. They are the type to believe that if you follow or add them, you MUST interact with them. I have seen many profiles with this tag on them, and it does hurt to be deleted if you do not reply in a timely manner for them. I have been deleted by several of these people, because I had to cater to my real life health. I have said to them “I am sorry I prioritize my health over a roleplay” and have been blocked later on.

Blocking someone for not replying to an RP is extremely petty, and very unfair to your partners. You MUST give your partners TIME to reply to you. Some of us truly do have our time tied by real life, and not everyone is ample to even respond to a greeting within a said amount of time. However, IF you are pressed for time, the fastest response you may give is a “Ty” which would count for the response for the greeting.

Do keep in mind that PATIENCE is key to a successful relationship with your RP partners. No one is “privileged” just because they portray certain characters.
