Feral Heart

This can both be annoying outside and inside an RP, but moreso when you're not roleplaying to begin with.

This could be any player, from random parent-beggars (pups who beg for parents) to literate easy-going players that are your friends.

And while you and somebody else are having a good time, somebody HAS to break the mood because they're crying on the other side of the computer and NEED attention. But then there's the people that don't necessarily need attention, but pull the same crap. Instead, they want EVERYONE to do a moment of silence before we can proceed with our roleplay or having fun...if we only can with such depressing thoughts in our minds.

Friend: "YO MAMA WAS SO FAT, HER BELT SIZE WAS THE EQUATOR."
((Apparently, this was a reference to the Nutty Professor, which was a great movie that my entire group of friends love, including myself.))
Me and other friends: "LOL XD"
Party-Pooper: "..."
Party-Pooper: "My mom's dead, you prick."
Me: "Dude, he wasn't making the joke AT YOU. No need to get offended. >_>'
Party-Pooper: "I don't care. You guys need to appreciate what you have. I don't have a mother, and wouldn't care if my mom was fat."
Me: "Well, I don't have a younger sibling, so I'm never going to have a chance to be a "Big Brother" in my entire life just as much as you don't get to have a mother at all."
Party-Pooper: "Siblings are nothing compared to parents. Parents don't treat you bad and expect you to love them back."
Me: "Uh, yeah, they do. They're called Child Abusers. And that's just bull what you just said about siblings being lower than parents. Some siblings do take on a parental role and teach you things better than an actual parent will. Or rather, anyone can do, that's why we have a thing called FAMILY, as everyone in it is important, whether it's cousins, aunts, grandparents, siblings or parents."
Party-Pooper: "Well, dead mothers are nothing to joke about."
Me: "WE WERENT EVEN TALKING ABOUT DEAD MOTHERS. We're joking about the Nutty Professor, and the joke was...have you even watched the movie?!"
Party-Pooper: "Course not. Any movie with that kind of joke in it is a terrible movie. Now can we just drop the subject, I think I'm going to cry."
Me: "You're 19 years old, and you're going to cry over something like this? Even when my dad got paralyzed due to an accident on the road, I'm not crying about it, and I still love him. You're the one who needs to learn to appreciate what you have. You can walk, talk, and type on a computer while millions in the world, motherless or not, can't. And you need to appreciate that YOU are alive, and instead of making your mother's death a bad thing,why don't you learn something from it? Like appreciating that you are alive and not dead!"

They went offline after that. The rest of the day was nothing but arguing or ranting from what this idiot had said. The person came online two days later, and angrily yelled at us for treating him so poorly, and that he will 'commit suicide if [we] don't apologize' to him. We didn't apologize, and I asked why a 19-yr-old guy is doing this, and that he should man up. The so-called friend replied that he was actually a 12-yr-old girl.

THEN WHY DID YOU SAY YOU WERE A 19-YR-OLD MALE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

When I yelled that statement, they said it was a typo. Riiiight. Then, when we didn't apologize, they went offline for about a month and came back online. I whispered, "Welcome back from the dead. How was your trip to Purgatory?"

They went offline after that, and made a different account to yell at us for awhile before finally leaving us to roleplay and have fun somewhere else. And everytime they came back up to get mad at us, it was always when we were having a good time.

Seriously, all of this over a yo-mama joke?
Come on, this isn't the 20th century. Lighten up.

Anyone else got their own story or opinion to share?

Yes, you've read he title right. Peer pressure in FH? A computer game of rpgs? Come on, man! (It doesn't have to be just rp-only, it can be just anywhere in the game as well)

This is not a hate-thread or anything, but more of a discussion anda bit of storytime about peer pressure experiences ingame (and how it can be handled in various situations).

Confused about how such a horrid thing that can ruin such a fun rpg?

Here's an example:

I know this happened quite a long time ago, but I'm just going to finally LET IT OUT even after 6+ months of holding it in. XD

Okay, on of my very old characters, Faust, I was rping in a wolf rp as usual. Since I'm not too fond with romance, I like to leave my characters single, but it can be annoying when random girls start flirting with me/begging to be their mate, but I always shrug it off. However, this was to be pushed TO THE LIMIT when an entire GROUP wanted me to have a mate and family. No, they were demanding or threatening me to have them, but their attempts to make the plot "more interesting" (even though there was already two active couples doing that to the rp) and for my character to have a "better life" was quite annoying.
First, it was the alpha who talked to me in local and even whispers asking me if I liked either one of these shewolves. I said "no" to both, and in an instant, he tried to presuade me to have mates so I could have puppies. I said that Faust isn't that great or has that much patience with puppies nor does he want a mate.

Instead, the guy said the unthinkable: "You can abuse the pups if you want, that's fine with the pack." O____O

I ended this conversation on the spot with "When I'm ready" to make him shut up and continue with the rp. However, a day after that, the whole group started asking me the same questions over and over again, and always try to "make" Faust have a mate by sending messages that he liked somebody or use hints like "-nudge nudge-" towards Faust, and soon after, the girls suddenly started to hit on me. Of course, I got fed up with this and left the group.

Those few days were just like wow. Can you not be so high school-girlish during an rp that was going so well?                                          

Sorry for my venting, but I wanted to get this out and set an example of peer pressure.
Anywho, what are your thoughts about peer pressure in groups/rps?

Putting up a story of your own peer pressure experiences ingame that's clean and obeys the forum rules is fine as well. This is a dicussion about the subject after all. :3

Addtionally, I know I'm at the age to know and such. But I would like to ask one important question as well: Was this harrassment or something in the RPG that I took too personally? If so, did I do the right thing? )X
