Role Playing as a lion king character is just fine, its what the person behind the screen is wanting to be so therefore they are. I see many around bonfire and the odd ones around flourite and cape, I must admit I myself have some lion king characters maybe 2-3 but that's just cause its one of my favorite films.
The only thing is to many people create a lion king character once they see one person being one then you end up with atleast 10 of the same lions which does get annoying. You also see them arguing "I was kove first!" Or "I am the real Nala" this really annoys me-_-. Also they often cause quite a lot of drama jumping off cliffs etc which really isn't necessary, along with them arguing over mates or even mating in public!.
I don't have anything agains the people who play lion king characters but maybe give it a rest on making one as soon as they see others on one? And make a group and stick to it, so you don't get mixed up who's who and no one is stealing no one.
Anyway as I've stated I don't get bothered about the LK characters and enjoy seeing others role-play as them, but I guess I may have a different opinion than everyone else. All in all this is my honest opinion on what I think about the over load of LK chars in bonfire etc and how sometimes I don't really mind them.
