Something I found pretty interesting is that on the subreddit, people seem to be more… open? When they prefer controversial (for the lack of a better term) ROs.
Even though I’m sure its a meme at this point, people do seem to be more open regarding their preference to toxic/yandere/otherwise problematic characters as ROs.
On the official forums, there seems to almost be a stigma against certain types of ROs, with a large, vocal section asking “why would people even be into them” when discussing characters such as Jun(ko) and Mannerkol, while people who do enjoy them have to start out their statements with an “I acknowledge its fiction”.
Idk, I just find discussions on ROs here vs the subreddit to be pretty interesting. Here it seems to be a point against for a RO to be problematic, while on the subreddit, if they’re not at least a little problematic, they might as well not exist.
