Alright ok, here's a question for all you folks out there. What are your least favorite prompts, NAPs, ideas etc etc to see? What headlines do you absolutely abhor? Nothing is off limits, from "BUSTY! WRESTLER!" to "I know this is a far stretch but... the raising of The Library of Alexandria?"

The majority of unspeakable horrors that arise from the NSFWE section, though it's part disgust and part bile fascination, like not being able to take your eyes away from a grisly car pileup.

NSFW stuff... well, I'm honestly kinda trash and have my weaknesses for certain things in there so would be hypocritical for me to call that out.
I have this thing I actually don't particularly like seeing from a 'I'm probably going to get disconnected on even if I love this prompt' perspective and that's a lack of character suggestions in the prompt. Like if they say they'll take anyone. I seem to always get D/Cs from those for some reason, and I get the sense that it's because they really do want specific characters on some level but don't want to admit that for some reason? It's just a personal bad experience with prompts that are structured like that. I always prefer seeing prompts that give character suggestions for who to play.

I hate, absolutely hate, this one prompt that used to be in NSFW where the person was like "I'd really like to play out Jade getting raped!!" And when they finally moved it they had this gross message in the OOC saying something like "congrats to you fucks for making me move this here you're making it hard for people to talk about sexual abuse and you're horrible" like fuck you??? Seriously? That shit belongs in NSFWE Also if you've been in the tag, you've seen Doc Scratch "Cherubplay users of lesser intelligence" All those fem prompts because honestly?? There's no need to make guys girls unless you're going to be looking for lesbians and still playing them the same they're played as guys?? And most fem prompts are just written very very poorly and are obviously het bait because apparently the only characters in Homestuck are males right. No badass female characters here or anything. Papaya Maryann? Fieri Pieces? Jase Hailey? Jame Cricket? Who are those?

To be quite honest, the entire NSFWE section is filled with skeevy garbage, most of which fetishizing lifestyles and crimes in the name of activism. It's an irritating reality, especially when they're flying pedophilic/incestral flags. Don't get me wrong, there's a way to pull that shit off, but not once have a seen it on cherubplay. My personal least favorite prompts fall under that catagory with the addition of "I'll play a random OC."
Fem prompts to me (and this would normally get a lot of flack here) isn't so much het-baiting (as there are plenty of awesome straight ships already) as it is an excuse not to know your character. "Eridan's real haughty, right? Um, oh, he seems off? That's because um, females wouldn't act like that though! ;o;oXPXDXDXD<3!!!!"

this is probably pretty specific, but since it's mostly the rps i answer that annoy me, that's to be expected.
i have almost never had a halfway decent jade! no one seems to really grasp her character-either they woobify her to the point where she exists for sex, or in an attempt to distance themselves from that, turn her into a stereotypical Badass Female Character who is almost as unrecognizable as the first one. :/

prompts that arent self aware rly peeve me off like. ones that beg for responders or dont word their controversial shit appropriately or ones that just. seem to exist in a bubble either ooc or in the writing like they dont see all the other prompts that exist right next to theirs and also maybe live under a rock

one thing i really dont like about prompts is like someone else said, fem! prompts. those who post them always want male characters and never accept girls, and its like?? why do u not like lesbians :( and also they never get to know their character, 9/10 its just an excuse for sex. which is soo sad :(
also i really dont like illiterate prompts!! like people who refuse to learn grammar and spelling and just proper english, and i understand that everyone has to start somewhere, but take a note from who youre rping with !!!!! idk i really dont like to complain about my rps publically because you never know when someones going to see its them, but i have one specific john rper that replied to me that DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ENGLISH!!!! and they dont use any ooc markers, and i guess if theyre esl i understand, but its like. dialogue in the middle of paragraphs, no commas to start and end it, improper capitalization, its like im rping with an eight year old version of me!!
