Okay, now for a better update on Gradian. I have not heard back from the original anon, so I’ve been given no word on anything other than what I saw myself on their main. The admin did reach out to me after my post and has spoken with their players to smooth out the wrinkles of problematic decisions I found on the main. I was going to post the stuff they sent me to show you all their words to show that they seem honest and genuine and have taken every action that they promised to do because I want to make sure everyone that saw my original post knows that things have been settled. They apologized and asked for help too. But then I thought about it, and they have already put their own responses into words and posted it on their main and the chronicles of their promises, apology, and the work to fix everything are evidenced in post, so instead what I will do is link to the posts they’ve made about this:

their first post on march 24th

march 24th

march 25th

march 26th

march 28th

It really is that easy. I know it’s tough when someone points out something you’ve done wrong, and it’s even tougher when it comes in Tumblr format through an anon with someone like me checking things out and throwing out what I see with my opinions, but it really is that easy. If anyone out there, whether I make a post on you or not, is in a position where they need help navigating their way out of something like this, you can come ask for help and I am an open contact for anyone that isn’t sure about something. If I don’t know the answer, I can find someone who does. 

I’ve been asked about ethnicities and how to make sure you’re handling them correctly. You can check Google, and if you’re unsure you can always ask an rph for advice on whether or not the fcs match. Always know as your number one rule that not all brown people are the same, not all Asians are the same, etc. You can’t erase parts of the fc’s ethnicity, it’s just as offensive as whitewashing. 

Just so we’re clear, I currently endorse this roleplay. I think the admin is incredibly easy to work with, feel free to check them out.

do you know of any active multiples rps? or even just canon, or rps that accept ocs? (glee related, or if you have your own recs?)

The ones I found in the tags, all are multiples/twin rps. If i’ve not listed any roleplays and you want to be added, please get in touch.

Can we talk about how Gradian might be just as bad as Joie?

If you want to tell me what brought you here with this comment, go ahead. I don’t have any insight on what their dash looks like and I assume that’s why you’re here. If @gradianvillagerp wants to take a look at the info below, they might improve their rp and grow by learning a thing or two. Remember that having a complaint lodged and/or showing you what you’ve done wrong while unaware that it was wrong is not as big of a problem as reacting poorly once you’ve been told. 

Looking at their main, I see they’re 1. using a known abuser as their main mascot and 2. there are multiple problematic fcs on their masterlist. I’m confused by the fact that there are abusers on their masterlist and there is an abuser for their mascot but they have people on their banned fc list because they’re also abusers. So I guess we’re picking and choosing which abusers we like and which are triggering. I’m also seeing 3. ethnicities not matching properly for canon families. 4. They also have Kristen Stewart as an fc, even though she’s asked not to be used as an fc because roleplay makes her uncomfortable. Jensen Ackles is on the masterlist too, and he is an iffy one, just be sure that you don’t use ANYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with his family. As a convention, he said that he doesn’t mind people using his face to rp with, as long as they do not push it on his family. I haven’t looked at the page to see if there are any pics up of him with any of his family, but if family pics were used then there is a problem. 

5. I also noticed that their masterlist is looking like the cast list for 50 Shades of White. There are a total of 5 people that aren’t white on the masterlist from what I can tell, and these 5 people all have very light skin. Masterlists like this make me feel like the roleplay is not at all welcoming to poc and may include subtle racist undertones. Because clearly the entire ooc masterlist prefers to write white. This is the kind of masterlist that makes me think that all of the poc are probably single because everyone’s writing their white faves and wants to ship with their other white faves. I’m not saying that is definitely what is happening, but that is what it looks like, from the eyes of someone who is not white. And this is based on many experiences. I also don’t see any transgender or nonbinary characters and the lack of diversity in general makes me sad. 

That’s the short and skinny of it, I’ll drop some receipts and go into more detail down below: 

Here’s a full list of what I found in just a few minutes on their main:

Cole Sprouse is their mascot and is on their masterlist. The same Cole Sprouse that has sexual abuse allegations, emotional abuse allegations, and a shit ton of privileged racism spouting out of his mouth. Alex Pettyfer is on their banned list for abuse allegations. Lea Michelle is on their banned list for being racist. But Cole is not only on the masterlist, he’s also the mascot for the main? Receipts and fuller detail on him down below, because it’d take too long to get into here and you’d never get to the rest of the problems. 

Dylan Sprouse is on the masterlist. He posted a pic of a girl he dated on Instagram and the caption was “My African Queen”. The girl’s skin tone was very tan, but many would have believe she was a black woman, but here’s the thing she isn’t black and when people called Dylan out of for having his girlfriend pretend another ethnicity, he made fun of them.

FIRST POST, with a blackfishing/blackfaced, edited photo:

The second post after he got called out:

KJ Apa is on their masterlist. He is fatphobic and sexist. There’s this post where he endorses bullying people if they’re fat because it’s “the only way to stop those useless bags of shit dying a fat, early death.” He’s also posted about beer being better than women. 

Vanessa Hudgens is on their masterlist. COVID is a trigger, but the girl that said, “It's a virus, I get it. Like, I respect it. But at the same time, like, even if everybody gets it, like, yeah, people are gonna die, which is terrible but, like, inevitable?" because she was mad she didn’t get to go to Coachella one time is okay to be there?

Jack Falahee is a Berry twin, twin to Rachel, but he’s not Jewish? Why are we erasing ethnicity? The only excuse to go against the Jewish ethnicity here would be by making the character half black, as per the season one storyline for Rachel’s birth, but the problem with that is that his mother would still be Jewish. So he’d still have to be half Jewish. 

Kristen Stewart is on the masterlist, but she’s asked not to be used in roleplays because it makes her uncomfortable. 

---------------------------------------------------

MORE ON COLE SPROUSE, 

because there was too much to put in one thing:

Cole Sprouse: He believes in reverse racism and has used MLK to attempt and justify his beliefs. He’s stated, 

This pseudo intellectual tone is the epitome of white privilege. As a white man not only does he not have right to define racism but to use a prominent Black activist in attempt to validate his ignorance is truly disgusting.  

He also compared BLM activists to cannibalism.

In 2015, some black lives matter activists interrupted a Bernie sanders rally in Seattle to criticize his campaign for paying insufficient attention to issues of criminal justice and race. Many people had their opinions on the situations, however Cole’s one didn’t make sense but also offensive. He hasn’t apologize for this remark and as a white man, he instead chose to educate people on what activism is supposed to be.

He also posted a pretty sketchy tweet about abuse, which reads “ Don’t become so jaded by abuse that your opposition becomes abusive”. This statement holds strong victim blaming sentiment and sounds like he is claiming that his actions were opposition and not abuse which is gaslighting. It should be known also that his very public ex girlfriend has been claiming that he sexually assaulted and abused her, and she’s not the only one with claims against him. 

It is also relevant to note that Cole Sprouse had this to say about a black man: 

He obviously comparing a black person to an animal. Many people have said him and Tyler are actually friends and this could have been an inside joke. No. 1 if it’s an inside joke then it should’ve stayed off the internet. 2. This is the famous excuse that many people use on themselves or to defend their idols, “I’m not racist, I have black friends!!!” or “I didn’t mean it, it was a joke.” It’s just telling of his character, when you think about the other racist remarks he’s mad.

Active Glee roleplays masterlist

Due to new Tumblr update the Glee rp tags have been messed up so it’s harder to see which roleplays are active. I’ve therefore done my best to list all the roleplays I can see in tags or know that are active so you can take a look around and join them.

If any roleplay is missing it is either because it’s most likely I didn’t know you exist or think you were active etc. Thank you to those who got in touch about their roleplay. If any roleplay is missing please get in touch.

Note - I highly suggest roleplayers tag their new posts in Glee related tags (and put rp you are linked with on your blog) and roleplays do text ads from the main at least every day or every other day so you can be seen.

[gleerpconfessions]

Roleplays to get you through quarantine

Check out these active roleplays or soon to open roleplays which are in the Glee RP related tags and looking for players. A lot of people have free time at the moment and need a distraction.

Even if you are not interested in joining a roleplay, let your roleplay friends know - it may be something they are looking for.

I encourage people to reblog this masterlist so those roleplays which may be struggling to get noticed, are promoted by others.

If your rp is not in this list and it’s active - please get in touch.

hey there, we're active in the sense we're still around, our dash is slow-going at the time, but I'm working on a revamp and hoping to get the group more active come mid-august, if you'd like to add us to the list of rps? also I know there's another group that I don't see ads for but I know it's still a pretty active group called gradianvillagerp - the admin team there is nice and they seem pretty active still also.

Added you both! :)

[mikeyofrp]

would your rec theoriginoflovehq?

I’m gonna be honest with you. I have heard so much stuff about this rp from other rph’s and rpt’s. I’m gonna say I do not recommend this rp but check out these rps from some of my friends who are in the rpc
