I was studying in English. 00:01:30.820 --> 00:01:33.140 I was building up my grammar 00:01:33.220 --> 00:01:34.820 ...my speech. 00:01:34.820 --> 00:01:41.040 And with that I was capable of using it to write my own stories 00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:45.080 ...or novels and things like that, poets, etc. 00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:48.680 But then there was a time where during class 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.120 ...in my free time. 00:01:51.580 --> 00:01:53.900 I'm just sitting there... bored. 00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.640 So I go online and you know... 00:01:57.980 --> 00:01:59.980 login and chat with my friends. 00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:05.300 chat with people, meet new people, you know the usual things 00:02:05.300 --> 00:02:08.040 I guess people still do on the internet nowadays 00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:10.360 Back when Google+ was around 00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:13.600 I came across role-playing 00:02:13.740 --> 00:02:15.740 and that is how I discovered role-playing 00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:21.200 I was seeing these people.... these profiles. 00:02:21.940 --> 00:02:26.520 People who were pretending to be something they're not in reality. 00:02:28.140 --> 00:02:31.780 For example, Sans from Undertale 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.560 ...you see a lot of those characters. 00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:37.060 ...or Foxy the pirate from Five Night's at Freddy's 00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:38.960 and things like that. 00:02:39.180 --> 00:02:42.080 I'm kind of something different from that. 00:02:43.540 --> 00:02:50.260 I mean, sure I hide my name and display my username 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:57.360 So people can recognize me as an original content creator. 00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:02.480 But when it comes to role-playing it's a whole different story, it's a whole different concept. 00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:09.820 Because you have people who are in control. 00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:13.120 And it's scary, let me tell you. 00:03:13.600 --> 00:03:18.660 And you know what? People actually get into trouble when they role-play. 00:03:18.660 --> 00:03:20.100 You do know that, right? 00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:23.400 And I'm not here to give people advises 00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:30.440 If you're here to get an idea on what you should or should not do while role-playing. 00:03:30.440 --> 00:03:35.640 Then I certainly advise you probably should go off of this video right now 00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:40.400 just find something else to do because I cannot help you with that. 00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:44.560 I'm no expert on any of this. 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:53.920 So as of 2017 and today I pretty much just took a break from role-playing 00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:01.380 and let me tell you why because role-playing does a lot of.... 00:04:01.640 --> 00:04:04.920 It does have its limits. 00:04:05.860 --> 00:04:11.700 In terms of... you know, when things turn from good to bad 00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:19.280 or from worse to the very dirty part of the concept. 00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:26.140 So recently - and I probably still get these messages from time to time, at least I have in the past.... 00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:29.080 But recently.... 00:04:30.700 --> 00:04:36.640 I did receive a message from someone who I thought was friendly 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.800 We were having a short conversation 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:48.340 and then we went from a conversation to a "hey do you want to role-play?" 00:04:48.340 --> 00:04:50.960 And I said oh "I don't mind" 00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:55.780 Yeah I mean.... for a little while because you know, I... 00:04:56.180 --> 00:04:56.860 Role-playing! 00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.420 Let me tell you, role-playing is a waste of time. 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:01.060 Okay. 00:05:01.380 --> 00:05:08.260 And I just felt... you know what, I don't got - have anything else to do 00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:11.260 So I may as role-play with this person but you know... 00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:19.040 Like I said from the beginning, when role-playing there are certain things we are not going to expect. 00:05:19.340 --> 00:05:23.160 At least from... I mean, I trust my friends, yes. 00:05:23.940 --> 00:05:28.340 But when it comes to like random strangers DM-ing you and things like that... 00:05:28.340 --> 00:05:31.020 it's a whole different concept if you get my drift. 00:05:31.180 --> 00:05:33.920 So the next question they asked me, they said; 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.780 "Are you okay with role-playing as a female character with big breasts?" 00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:47.480 And I said no "oh no, I don't do those kinds of role-plays, I'm sorry" I really am. 00:05:47.880 --> 00:05:51.260 It's not the fact that I don't mind role-playing as a female 00:05:51.260 --> 00:05:52.740 I mean I role-played as a female in the past. 00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:54.280 But that was the old me. 00:05:54.840 --> 00:05:57.920 The old me is dead and long-gone. 00:05:58.260 --> 00:06:02.120 And this has no relationship 00:06:02.200 --> 00:06:06.300 with writing novels or stories and things like that 00:06:06.580 --> 00:06:07.320 No. 00:06:07.780 --> 00:06:13.840 Role-playing and writing fan-fiction is a whole different separate concept 00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:16.260 They are nothing alike. 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:22.980 Because when you role-play... it's like people try to control you. 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.820 And when that happens your emotions,... your anxiety kicks in. 00:06:27.820 --> 00:06:33.320 And that's basically what's going on in this situation... this type of situation. 00:06:34.100 --> 00:06:38.620 And after that I didn't really replied to them, afterwards. 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.720 They said "Okay" pretty much. 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:48.520 These kinds of things don't necessarily - like make me feel uncomfortable... 00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:56.660 It just makes me think; "um should I be concerned about this person... about their behavior?" 00:06:56.980 --> 00:07:00.900 I mean, it's none of my business to know their sexuality or anything like that? 00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:03.760 That's all fine, it's none of my business. 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:12.180 But hey, it's not their fault they didn't know that their questions would make me feel uncomfortable... 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.680 It's... you know, the fear that... 00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:16.520 that kicks in... 00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:18.020 and fear is normal 00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:24.300 I mean I don't need to explain, I don't need to get into details 00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:30.060 But if you take the time to look up online there are several... 00:07:30.280 --> 00:07:34.240 hundreds of stories, maybe even thousands of stories... maybe stories I don't even know about... 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:45.560 But there are stories out there, people describing their behalf, their stories - their experience with role-players. 00:07:45.940 --> 00:07:47.320 And role-playing... 00:07:47.760 --> 00:07:49.760 Those things can get out of hand... 00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:52.360 Where a person meets... 00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:59.420 I dunno, their colleagues, or a friend, or a fan or anybody in real life 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.280 And they found out they were underage 00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:06.680 So yeah... that did not ended well. 00:08:06.940 --> 00:08:13.400 But that's not the point of this story of my experience as of this video. 00:08:14.020 --> 00:08:22.300 It's the concept that I wanted to describe my experience with role-playing as a former role-player. 00:08:24.380 --> 00:08:30.880 As of now, I dislike the idea, I dislike role-playing in general. 00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:34.520 simply because of those specific reasons 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:36.540 For one... 00:08:37.660 --> 00:08:46.820 if you make the wrong move, or anything, you say something it could lead to - it could get you into trouble. 00:08:48.760 --> 00:08:52.940 I mean, I don't really care what your fetishes are 00:08:53.380 --> 00:08:54.760 ...that's none of my business. 00:08:55.260 --> 00:09:01.100 I know this all sounds stupid, just worthless, you are so bored 00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:04.120 And you just want to go to another video - go ahead. 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.120 because I'm not making any sense. 00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:09.100 Nothing makes sense anymore. 00:09:09.780 --> 00:09:10.840 I'm tired. 00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:12.080 We are all tired. 00:09:13.020 --> 00:09:16.700 Maybe it's just this whole.... virus thing going on. 00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:17.600 I don't know. 00:09:19.020 --> 00:09:22.520 Maybe I'm just... confused. 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.140 or... paranoid.
