I recently just read a topic, that got me thinking.
http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=35164.new#new I know it seems long, but all I ask is you please read most of this and just think twice about how you judge others on FeralHeart and in real life.
Okay, so, of course, there is always going to be online bullies. Over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, you get it. My question is, but why bully others on an online game when you're both here for the same reason? - To get away from that drama in reality. There shouldn't be any of that on this game, isn't there enough in real life? Everyone wants to be themselves on here, and make their own unique characters. Just because someones character isn't your definition of 'beautiful' or 'pretty' it doesn't give you the right to tell them to change. It's just like in real life. You can't change how you look in real life, but you can in FH. If they thought their character was ugly and they didn't like it, they would change it. They feel happy with their character because they made them and they are unique and one of a kind.
It's the same thing with RPs, people make fun of other peoples RPs because they don't like them. I've seen unicorn RPGs, Reptile RPGs, and even bacon RPGs (I'll admit, I giggled at that one.) But I didn't say anything rude to their face, because trolling or not, it would be rude. Maybe they wanted to try something different. Maybe for once you should join a unique RP other than a lion, cat, or wolf RP. That's pretty much what FeralHeart consists of. I've joined prey RPs before, and though I was hesitant at first, it's a lot of fun! RP's that don't involve cats or lions or wolves are quite rare. It makes you feel better when there's other people out there that have the same tastes as you. You eventually don't care what other people think, all you care about is having fun with your other RP buddies that like the same thing as you.
Last but not least, excluding...This is one thing that gets on my nerves because I have to deal with it almost everyday, in reality AND in FeralHeart. FH is a big community of people that should all care and respect for each other. I've seen people say that a certain person cannot join their group because they simply don't like the way they look. "So what if you don't like the way they look?" Is all I have to say. When in small groups of people on their OC charas or something, they tend to ignore someone if they don't know who they are. Maybe they just want to be friends. All I have to say is stop ignoring them and ask them how they're doing. Trust me, it'll make their day just to hear that someone actually notices they're there and maybe you'll make a new friend out of it. I can guarantee this is the best way to make friends on FeralHeart. I have one friend that became one of my best friends because I stood up for her. She was being publicly bullied in FP, so I befriended her. We ended up hanging out everyday and RPing just the two of us, because I said we could be outsiders together.
