The Roleplay Blackpill is what I call it when a person has roleplayed for so long to the point where it loses all levels of fun. This is not because they have simply played to much of it- no. It's because they got too involved.
The 'Roleplay Blackpill' is when a person has dug too deep into a communities OOC facets. This can be either by the forums, TS3 (the prime source back in the day[godspeed for still using it], more so Discord in nowadays), factions, that sort of thing. It's when IC becomes clouded with OOC, where you no longer have the ignorance that actually makes shit fun. That is what I consider the Roleplay Blackpill.
It's something I experienced early on. My fondest memories of literally ANY roleplay server were having no fucking idea what was going on. The lore, setting, characters, drama- none of it. There's a certain level of fun you have on a server when you are not OOCly bound to it, not influenced by anything asides from what your character knows- which translates to what YOU know. I find its far more to fun to not know whats going on, and to just play.
I had several more long paragraphs written out, but I wont include those. I want to hear your guys' experiences with the big bad blackpill. Does knowing too much just make it an unenjoyable experience?
Give your opinions, I suppose.
