I need help.

Chatterbox: Inkwell

I need help.

I need help.

Your help to be exact.

Now, I'm not going through any hard time at the moment and you can tell because, if I was, this would be on Down To Earth or Chirp at Cricket.

What I need help with is... No, I cannot tell you, but I need you to fill this sheet out for me.

Male or female?

Dragon or hydra?

Dark powers or evil?

Legend come true or reality gone legend?

Mercy or death?

Previous knowledge or sudden revalation?

Realistic or ideal?

Stoic but soft or sweet but reckless?

And finally, same or different?

The results will be posted and the results of the results may or may not end up... No. Not yet. I cannot tell you yet.

Hey, Rogue? May I ask what this is for, and/or why it has to be either male or female, with no nonbinary anything?

You may see in the future. I'm sorry, that's all I can say for now.

And why does it matter? It's my survey, and I'm going to do with the results as I will.

You absolutely have every right to take a survey and use its results however you want, but to be frank, and this is not meant as an accusation, it is beginning to seem like you might be deliberately and/or unfairly excluding people. I know I would not be okay with that, and I know I would not be alone. 

There are many fun surveys that give ask for a choice from just two offered options, e.g. swimming or skiing, classical or jazz, etc. It does not mean anything negative about other sports or kinds of music. I think you're reading too much into this, but if it's upsetting you,  I suggest you just don't participate.

Well said, Admin. I agree completely.

I agree: why does it matter? Some of you are saying, ‘well, what if we want to make our character nonbinary?’ Well, what if you want to make your character a fire eating piranha plant? Or a human? Neither of those are options. Of course, no one’s having a problem with the ‘dragon or hydra’ question, or the ‘evil or dark powers’ question, which I find interesting. It’s simply a set of questions with two choices each. You choose one. If you don’t like either choice, you don’t have to do the survey.

At the end of the day, it’s Rogue’s thread. Even if you don’t like the way she set it up, please respect her rules. If you don’t like them, you don’t have to join at all.

Hey

I mean, you guys make a point about wanting only two options and that works BUT also I think previous posts have made it clear you're not comfortable with NB characters.

So, I won't try and change your mind.

But just admit that's part of it.

We have every right to make a character who doesn't identify as either male or female.

This thread is just a survey, not an RP. See my previous replies.

Male and female are the options. If you're not comfortable with that, I'm sorry. Thank you for your time.

I'm unlikely to post any further discussion of this issue.

Thanks Admin. It's making me really angry and I don't want to get angry or sow enmity between anybody with harsh and rash words.

Same, Rogue. Just want you to know you’re not alone.
