You know, I made that satirical roleplay wikia, but screw it, why risking getting reported and do this instead?
Roleplaying is one of the, if not, the largest thing going on in PvZ Wiki. However, it really caused a problem to the wiki's reputation itself. I, myself, find roleplaying eh, but this wiki's roleplaying? Oh boy, where do we even start with this?
One problem is the secondaries, ohh boy the secondaries A secondary is a guy who claims he's a fan yet he hasn't tried any of the games/watched the show/or participate in it etc. You probably heard this term when you're a huge fan of Touhou, secondaries being the worst fan in the Touhou fanbase.
OH BOY YOU WERE WRONG WHEN IT WAS ONLY AFFECTING 2HU ITSELF
Roleplaying here is a excellent breeding ground for secondaries, as they can be their own character yet they don't even know jack s**t about who he roleplays as (like In A Locked Room COUGH COUGH WHEEZE)
Like, I go into the IALR Wiki, and see that uhh
- GLaDOS: Yeah, tell me how GLaDOS is good and works with your made-up posse
- Sans and Papyrus: Sans fights for "good" and Papyrus is innocent? Ok, thats very interesting
Really, this place is a excellent breeding ground and meeting place for secondary fans that make a bad reputation for themselves just because they haven't experienced anything about the franchise they love. They get details about characters VERY wrong and make themselves look inferior to actual fans, which shakes my head.
I'm trying to be very honest here, but most roleplayers are the reason why this wiki is active. yet the roleplays here are well, very cringy to more mature users. Alot of roleplayers I know are despised by normal users, and they generally give themselves a bad reputation for it (I'm staring at you Theo) yes, roleplaying is a bad thing to me, but you know whats worse? It literally takes up most of the wiki forum activity here! I thought this was the PvZ Wiki Database, not the roleplay wiki! Seriously, if you want to roleplay, THERE'S A ROLEPLAY WIKI FOR THAT RIGHT?
"but hurr durr its part of the wiki itself waaa" Roleplay is something normally optional to a wikia, but because of the fact that so many people here come to just roleplay and the buckos who do it, its impossible to remove it now, which is very, very sad.
Seriously. roleplaying and fun and games > mainspace. That's my hunch on the users here. Roleplaying is something that affects this wiki alot, the secondaries and kids, the cringe roleplaying, and the fact that nobody wants it removed, it makes me sigh in depression.
