Late tonight a bunch of staff are playing a game called role call and if you thought fugitive was wild just w a i t until i tell you how this goes cause role call is absolutely terrifying
We aren’t letting the campers play it so that lets us up the scare factor by 147%
Ok so the game had to be pushed back a few days so we can figure out scheduling so heres the gist of it.
The more people you have for this game, the better. It has to happen at night. The people get into a straight line, and begin to walk in that line all around the area. They cannot turn around and look at each other, and cannot speak; with the exception of the person at the front of the line.
That persons job is to begin the role call. They simply say, “Role Call!” And their name, then each person down the line says their name in turn.
Here’s the kicker: there’s one person not included in the line. The Taker. They have the job of stealing away the person at the end of the line as silently as possible. The game’s sole purpose is to instill a sense of fear and paranoia in whoever is in front, because as more people get taken, there are less and less people to say their names during the Role Call.
The front person decides when they want to start the Role Call. Obviously, the more often it’s said, the less scary it is. But as more and more people disappear, they become Takers and can then do more damage than just the one.
Some Takers can replace the person they stole, making the person directly in front of them either incredibly paranoid or safe. At least until the Role Call. Takers cannot say anything during it, so it usually ends up more terrifying to know that the person behind you is silent. Again, everyone in the line cannot make a sound except responding to the Role Call.
The game is over when the person in front is taken. There is no winning, only waiting. Waiting for your turn to go. Imagine the fear that person in front has, when they softly announce “Role Call” only to find that everyone behind them is gone.
Not exactly a game for the weak willed.
oh fuck
I really REALLY wanna play this now
Why didn’t I know about this as a camp counselor??!?!
“hey jam what do you mean by fujoshi who fetishize mlm relationships??”
this. I mean this video
Im gonna puke
same tbh
do you ever just wanna kick someone in the face the moment they open their mouth
YES YOU SHOULD FEEL GUILTY
I just…have no words. I was gonna make a post about my experiences with yaoi, and I started working on it, but I have a French paper to write so maybe I’ll work on it later.
Bottom line: my experiences with yaoi are vastly different than this person’s. My experience as a yaoi fan was dark, scary, obsessive.
EDIT: She also uses “yaoi” to describe any mlm anime relationship, which is not the actual definition. Yaoi is a genre with its own tropes and cliches. A genre, a very problematic genre, but still a genre.
Okay, I’m gonna be honest here, I have no idea why y’all are so enraged that Aki calls herself a fujoshi and enjoys the yaoi genre and those kinds of relationships. Like, since when was that wrong??? I would think tumblr would be all over that kinda shit, but apparently not?? I don’t see why she should feel guilty over it if she genuinely enjoys it and isn’t harming anyone by doing so.
A question for the last person, too: how was your experience dark, scary, and obsessive? Do you mean just the fans and such were terrifying for you when you first got into that scene, or were you introduced to some crazy stuff? I found out about yaoi and those kinds of things early on and I can’t say that I ever found anything to be dark or scary.
I honestly don’t expect anyone to answer me or even really read this, but these are genuine questions and I’m honestly confused. If any of you who agree with this post would be kind enough to explain, I’m all ears.
hi there! I’m the op so I thought I might explain it.
there’s a few reasons why the word “fujoshi” means “dirty girl” in japanese.
I used to call myself a fujoshi and I’ve come to realise that yaoi and fujoshi are harming real people. yaoi is a really bad genre. it is honestly a horrible, horrible genre that harms real people.
yaoi often excuses rape or makes it seem romantic. you know junjou romantica? sekaiichi hatsukoi? big offenders with multiple rape/non-con scenes, but hugely popular in japan and all over the world. every single yaoi anime (and I know, because as a former fujoshi, I’ve seen them all) encourages rape or abuse in one way or another. every single one implies that rape victims aren’t being raped because they’re aroused or “actually want it”. that’s not even counting the manga- there’s countless. yaoi otome games like dramatical murder? rape/non-con scenes everywhere, from what I hear. super lovers even encourages legitimate pedophilia and ebephophilia. so yeah, gross content that makes people think that rape and abuse are ok, which in turn makes life hard for rape and abuse victims.
secondly, yaoi and fujoshi make life harder for men who like men (or for short, mlm) both in japan and abroad. gay men are not viewed favourably in japan. yaoi does nothing to help this. the seme/uke stereotype makes it seem like one man always has to play the feminine role in a romantic or sexual relationship. furthermore, it makes gay men look like predators who prey on unsuspecting straight boys. very few characters in yaoi actually self identify as gay and there is next to no discussion of the realities of life for men who like men in japan. not to mention that bisexuality is almost never a thing that is explicitly mentioned in yaoi manga/anime. so yeah, we basically don’t exist in the genre either. yaoi really promotes bad stereotypes that have been used to discriminate against mlm for years.
my mlm friends are all incredibly uncomfortable when girls ship them together or call them “yaoi couples”- and this actually happens way too often. look at the comments on aki’s videos- there are tons of girls there who do exactly this.
lastly, mlm relationships aren’t necessarily sexual and certainly aren’t just something for women to jerk off to. it’s like lesbian/bisexual porn that straight men watch. I like girls and I hate that shit. I’m not a fetish for anyone to get off to- I’m a real person, not a porn genre. I feel like an object. and that’s exactly how many mlm say they feel when they interact with fujoshi.
this is my boyfriend. they’re mlm and absolutely hate yaoi. and here are some other opinions of yaoi and fujoshi, from actual men who like men who I talked to about it:
and that’s all there is to say on the matter. I really hope aki realises that yaoi and fujoshi harm real people, because although she’s not a bad person, she’s certainly promoting bad things.
If you had five billion you could hop from job to job, calling entitled customers idiots all across your city, putting the fear of You into every shithead in town until people become afraid to be rude to servers and cashiers, lest you emerge from the back room like some kind of manners-enforcing specter
