"Its my role play you have to do what I want, its my role play you have to say what I want."
Recently I have run into several people who are very controlling when it comes to role play... Not when I join in someone else's role play group (I don't join groups), but when someone joins my group or a friend decides to role play with me (and my sisters, since we're kind of a package deal), they hardly ever like how I (or we) play, and then they try to take over. It could be my group, or maybe my friend came up to me to role play, but then instead of letting me play my characters how I want, they start going 'no, you have to follow my pairing' or 'your character should come up and do ----'. Even though my characters would never do what they want them to. And I don't do 'pairings' or 'shipping', I even tell them no, but they either keep pushing it or leave in a huff. I've seen them do it to other people too, they never let anyone else do anything unless it fits 'their story', otherwise they ignore it or call someone out on it. And I don't mean calling someone out on power playing (because that is a valid argument in my opinion, as long as you keep it civil and don't insult them because of it), but when they get onto you for how you play your character, like they're an expert and know what's best or something.
It doesn't matter if the character I'm playing is a 'cosplay' character or my own original one. They come up to me to role play with my character, but then they decide the character I am playing doesn't fit into their story or what ever and either try to force me to do what they want, or leave like I just insulted their mother (since I don't change my characters for other people, seeing as I made it for myself). Sometimes the people who do this are the nicest people you can run into outside of role play, but I don't know if they take role play to seriously or what, but once they start roleplaying, they become a control freak.
Has this ever happened to you, have you caught yourself doing it to someone, what is your opinion on these types of people, How do you deal with these situations, etc?
