Harry Potter rps

Venting/Rant

Might be a hot take for those in the Harry Potter rp space. But I have never meet a more hostile environment to those of us that want to rp without irl faceclaims. Every server I join or partner I plan to rp with requires irl faceclaims. Which I’m fine with them having don’t get me wrong, but I’m personally uncomfortable using someone’s irl face to roleplay. Like any time I wish to create a unique oc either through art of description I get hounded for not using irl faceclaims, half the fun of rping is making the character from scratch (for me) so having to search online for irl people is just awful for me. For context I’m a warrior cats rper (while I use irl cats for ref I like to draw up the oc completely from scratch, it helps me connect with them more) This has just been pissing me off lately with the how elitist the space seems and hostile it is to newer artist. Like the servers that do allow art only allow realistic art and its completely hostile and insulting to newer artist. The whole point I got into rp was to make scenarios for me to draw and get inspiration from so to have basically that side completely bared is so tiring.
