The only asterisks I do is just *hugs* and that's only for friends because we live on like, opposite sides of the world. Wouldn't do that for a stranger.
What I don't get is being angry at rejection for it. I mean, that's some terrible self-awareness there, one should be aware when one's very specific kinks (spontaneous+ fetish) puts them in the minority... I mean, coming right out with it *is* a great way to filter out people not interested in that but they should at least know that is going to be like 99.9% of people they contact.

I think the asterisks roleplay thing comes from having a lot of online-only friendships/relationships, thus the only way to convey body language is intentionally clarifying it’s body language. BUT when you do that with people who have more in-person relationships it’s weird at best and awful at worst. They can also idealize what they would do, playing out any romanticized idea of how to court someone. It’s a strange subculture for sure.
Y e a h, I'm essentially that explanation but at least I also have the self-awareness to know when, what amount, and what kind is appropriate and who with, I can only imagine they're doubly or triply deep into the sub-culture or something, especially since this video still absolutely annihilates my soul with cringe all the same.
THIS. Not only is it the way to make italics on Discord, but it's a hell of a fun way to bs around on jokes with friends you actually know. I also know a couple of people who use it casually in general spaces. It's whatever. They aren't doing anything flirty or invasive. So folks that get upset usually just don't like the association. But please please please never do this when trying to flirt or (regardless of using asterisks or not) add some weird sexual shit unless it's in a private consentual place. Cringe is freedom, sure. But for the love of God, know your audience.
yeah as someone who used to do this, I typically did it because I was desperately trying to recreate the idea of being close to someone IRL. When me and my bf (now fiance) did this, I would try to recreate whatever he wrote. Like if he was like -puts arm around you- I'd hug myself. I was lonely, even with the few people I DID know IRL. For me at least it was an attempt at getting affection I desperately needed while also offering the same affection to them. It's not acceptable to jump right into fetish stuff though
I am once again asking the editors of Emkay, even the boss of Emkay team, to give Jack a facecam so we can all see his willpower to keep a very straight face doing all his bits.
my partner and i have started doing the creepy asterisks to each other for fun, it's really a show of how comfortable we are with each other. last night he sent me "*crawls up your clothes like a spider*" funny, amazing, original. this is the only acceptable form of roleplay, the kind where we're just being weird for the sake of being weird
The worst thing about these is you can really see the fanfiction they've taken this stuff from. Who else in the world still refers to eyes as 'orbs'...?
I roleplay a lot online. I have never met another roleplayer that does this in a serious manner. This feels like something us in our 30s did in our teens. I cant believe its still a "thing"
I was thinking the same while I was watching the video, I'm 30 and was thinking when was the last time I roleplayed like this, I think when I was 16 or so
I’m still a minor who roleplays a lot, but I completely agree. I’ve never met someone who does it unironically, it’s weird as hell. Just use tone indicators or emojis at most, guys, you don’t need to “*Shuffles awkwardly, glances at you* h-hi”, just… “Hi!“ It’s not hard
@@SnakeDude. NO BECAUSE I HAVE- Probably because I made the half mistake of using Amino, and am in a couple fandom that have gotten to the kids (some of which are concerning if twelve year olds are into them...) and I notice this a lot. I just can't function with asterisk roleplays-
my favorite usage of asterisks is by going "spins rapidly towards you" or anything involving spinning, but sometimes "breaks in through wall" is used for when i join a goofy lighthearted convo ! most of my friend groups are comfortable with this and sometimes play along but ive thankfully never saw someone in person that does this
* watches video * Ugh! I can’t believe people are like this. * looks up, gently tearing, face conveys exasperation * Oh well, nothing left for me now! * fucking dies *
This is the most... unexpectedly therapeutic video. No matter how weird or awkward I remember being as a kid at least I was never this. Not even anxiety fueled memories can contend with this new bar.
This is why I used my old number that I don't have anymore at Kroger. Not for stalkers, but like, there's so much crap someone can use when they have that number.
i cannot believe there is an entire subreddit dedicated to this. i cannot believe there is enough of this for an entire subreddit. ... we should have elected the meteor.
What's interesting is the people in question usually seem intelligent. The writing is obviously creative, and often well-written and grammatically correct. And still, the lack of self-awareness and respect is astounding.
Asterisk roleplay is *only* for people who you have a close enough relationship with, that are okay with it. You do not use it to flirt with other people, you do not use it to interact with strangers. It's creepy, it's cringey, and it's inappropriate.
"I feel like Gordon Freeman surrounded by a bunch of self aware AI" Oh, a 'Half Life but the AI Self is Self Aware' fan **blushes and looks to the ground with a cute smile** C-c-can w-we go on a d-d-d-date? **dies of cringe**
I'm am not against written/typed roleplay. But doing it without knowing if the other one is into it, or becoming sexual right off the bat is a permaban for me. Blocked, deleted, byeee Edit: tf, how do you fart furiously? And WHY is that a part or even the beginning of any conversation, RP or not?????
*As someone who doesn’t roleplay in a messaging app and seeing all these sussy aterisk roleplays, i may never roleplaying in a messaging app anytime soon 💀*
3:12 “Damn, just asking someone a question makes you all emotional?” *I DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING CALLED OUT LIKE THAT!!!* About two weeks ago, I messaged my crush, asking her out, and I started tearing up from fear of rejection
two things 1. possible solution : just say "*kills you*" maybe it will end it or something it could also make it weirder but 2. i have a friend that instead of actually doing anything, would just say "hits you" in a slightly angry tone and it was hilarious
Imma admit it here, i use to do '*' on paper (like the old middle school crush one) bc I didn't know how to write how i felt- I was also hyperfixated on the whole online roleplay dm thing too. God. Im glad I've evolved- kinda :'
Honestly this is what not to do in a roleplay as well as a serious what not to do irl. It’s what gives the role playing scene such a bad name in general.
OMFG immediately after the *farts aggressively* pic, I got a My Macca's ad. Then I farted. But it wasn't aggressive, and I'm only telling the internet so I think it's ok, right trendsetters?
Jack, that horse noise is called whickering, and it took two seconds of googling to find a video. (I only know this because of a massive elementary-school horse phase... my brain is full of useless horse facts now)
They say if you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything. I don’t know about that, but as a girl, I can say this: writing *fArTs cUtElY* will make any girl laugh. It will make her laugh AT you, that much I can promise you, but it WILL make her laugh!
As someone who does text based roleplay (think D&D but instead of using your voice you type out your characters dialogue and actions, using asterisks to indicate action and quotations to indicate dialogue) this hurts my soul. It can be fine to do stuff like this if you know that whoever you are talking to is fine with it, but NEVER open with it if you don't know.
Naw naw don’t shut them down, they’ll never learn. Roleplay back, but in a completely nonromantic way. For example: 1: hello there beautiful~ *continued lifting my 50t dumbbells as the gorgeous demon courtesan approached* how are you, milady? 2: *grabs you by the ear and drags you out the door* shut tf up, you KNOW the furry war is upon us! Get your weapons and get out there soldier! Eh, maybe they still won’t learn, but at least this would be more fun :)
I have never met anyone who does that, but I'd love to do do something like: "Great ! * Pulls out and Racks FN P90 with 50 x 5,7 × 28 mm AP/FMJ (black tip or none)*" Since I think it might actually be more annoying to someone, if you play the game wrong instead of doing what they want.
As a representative of the furries…. We do not claim them. We ask first if you’re up for furry related RP first, without being weird. It’s a common courtesy that some of them do not know. If not then taking like a normal human being. Which sounds weird coming from a furry, but we are capable of that lol.
Omg I used to do roleplay on twitter and even I wasn't THAT effing weird. Like, I was, but only if the other person agreed and if they were an account centered on that. Then you can both be as weird as you want. And yeah, I've also gotten my share of weirdos like these. Jesus god damn Christ, I feel like my eyes have been opened to a new kind of creepiness that I didn't want to know in the first place. I'm glad that Jack made it funny tho. I love it when he narrates a video
14:50 my brother had a dnd character named Grump who had low int and wis and he said his name every time he took a step, so when he walked he’d just be saying “grumpgrumpgrumpgrump…” XD
as much as i like rping (roleplaying) on discord, i at least make sure the other person is willing to rp and try to plan it out before we get into it, the only time i'd do with anything remotely like the stuff in this video is if we're used to each other, and is mostly things like just patting them, watching videos like this is a very good way to keep myself in check i think, help from keeping myself from becoming like this
