The People Behind Eternia Online Being a Fucking Atrocity

It's this generic fantasy game and one of my friends from another game suggested I play it, so I join and create an adorable character named Ambroise. SHe liked to dress in men's clothing, was a dyed-in-the-wool lesbian, and was in the generic fantasy land to secure a noble husband and issue  to receive her due inheritance (she was a bastard child but also her father's /only/ child and so inheritance law got tricky). She was designed to explore both the angst inherent in the mismatch between her SO and her social role and to scheme politically because she's a young Countess and that's what they do.The people I scened with were, in almost chronological order: a guy who fell wildly in love with Ambroise (ok) who then got personally upset IC and OOC when Ambroise was a lesbian (less okay) who later showed up drunk to yell expletives at us until he was banned (very not okay), a guy whose first interaction with Ambroise was "accidentally" feeling her up (Not okay, also I don't know how he manged it she didn't' really have boobs) who Ambroise then forced into a contract of serfdom (what the hell was I thinking) who proceeded to ask me OOC very pointed questions about my gender/sex identity and congruency because /god/ forbid his character be in love with a cis woman played by a man or a trans woman (Ambroise was also a good 11 years his senior I don't know what the fuck was wrong with him), a collection of the most edgy animesque orphans ever seen on earth (there were at least two kids there who accidentally killed their own parents), Ambroise's eventual husband who ignored the very pointed and obvious indications that she was not attracted to him in any way including the part where she routinely came home covered in lipstick and vomited and cried every single time they had sex (which I mean there goes my gayngst, on and on and on but with no resolution), Ambroise's son who she loved very much and who was played by the least literate white guy I have ever seen (also walking and talking like wayyy too quick), and then Kosigona, who was one of the first people I scened with and who basically seemed like a cool, fireball-throwing mom until at the very end of my time there Ambroise confessed her love for her and she decided that it would be cool to take a husband the next day and assume Ambroise the vain and haughty would just be okay with polyamory (and more importantly with having a man do the do with her lover which she was /horribly/ disgusted with). And then have kids. And then, when Ambroise decided she'd kill her husband, kill Kosigona's husband, make sure nobody ever knew, and finally marry for love (conclusion of a character arc!) Kosigona decided that her husband was a ridiculously OP earth mage nobody could kill despite Ambroise being fairly competant at this point. So I stopped logging on and she threw a fit and left.

Then I log on about a year later and make a new character (whose name I changed so many times I can only remember that it's Arabic). She was created to /avoid/ the trap of domesticitiy-- she knew the scientific methods and statistical analysis, she was bald, thoroughly asexual, and had been mutilated as a child to destroy even the vaguest possibility of coupling with anyone, seriously. On a whim, I gave her no magic and decided that her quest would be to find some way to obtain magic in a setting where it's basically "you have it or you don't" (if it sounds like Akemi Ohashi it's because she's quiet similar to Akemi Ohashi if Akemi Ohashi had had awful cultist parents). Some guy shows up, literal first guy I scene with, and tells Arabkemi that he has a secret magical technique that will give her magic. She's listening. The caveats-- irrevocable love for the guy administering the technique and the ability to have vulcan mind sex. I quit mid-scene.

And that's why I never use Eternia Online.
