Yeah, Horse Girl needed to see a therapist before she tried DnD. There is a lot to unbag there and I wouldn't even know where to start. I was going to fall under the DM for not putting up much more of a fight until the part where they were actually trying to get HG to get help. Hopefully she did take the hint of doing it and actually got some help. I feel if she got the help she needed, she would be a much better person

[@lootgoblinmarketplace]

Yeah people all too often use the escapism aspect of TTRPG as a substitute for theory. It most certainly is not enough!

[@Poko0Chan]

i thought the same thing, as the DM ... and the group, i think that was a scarring experience

There's a lot to unpack there, but let's just throw away the whole suitcase instead.

[@ilasior4496]

@@lootgoblinmarketplace its not just that it's not enough. There is a difference between escapism and using dnd as a therapy. By doing that the latter they force the others to have to act like therapists - something they are most likely not trained to be, nor they want to be. Obviously everyone have issues, but forcing others to deal with their problems turns the other players' downtime into a stressful, tiring thing.

Honestly, when I was about halfway through, with the way she chose a bastard backstory and played so hard into the pity party, had no reaction to all the anti-woman stuff in the game, and her dagger's nickname, I was worrying about what her home life must have been like.

[@darkrai2007]

The fact that she absolutely just tore a hole through everything she was apart of. I dont think she liked the single guy of the group as a fact of actual likeness but he is a guy and she wanted the guys to fawn over her. In her mind it was whenever she met a guy NPC or character it would be: "oh no this poor girl who has gone through such a hard life, I'll protect her!". However In ASOIAF most people have a harsh backstory so no one is going to fawn over just another person with a horrible past.

[@ljrittenhouse4422]

Coming back to this story after a while. I started to develop a different outlook on how things in this story turned out. In short, I have very mixed feelings about it, but I'll explain. Yes, Horse Girl was very annoying and inappropriate with how she chose to play her character. I can understand why everyone else started to feel uncomfortable around her. HOWEVER, I strongly feel like nobody is innocent in this story. For one, with the bit with OP's character having a "milk of the poppy" addiction, all while Horse Girl got slammed for her character's drinking problem...that just reeks of double standards. Then there's the bit with the bard info broker NPC. It really felt like the DM intentionally had this character do something bad to Horse Girl's character just to upset her for petty reasons. I also understand why Horse Girl started to feel jealous with how her character got treated like a second class citizen, while everyone else in the party just kissed Padme's ass and courted her around, like she's the second coming of Christ or some shit. Theres's some other glaring issues in this story, but the bottom line is that everyone in this group is toxic. Horse Girl leaving the campaign was for the best, and I really hope she gets the mental help she needs. For all we know (especially with the r*pe dagger and fanfiction bit), she could have been a victim to some very horrible things that happened in her home life. As for everyone else, fuck them, especially OP, DM, and Padme Christ. If this was an AITA post on Reddit, it would certainly be a case of "everyone sucks".

[@tarvoc746]

If you ask me, Horse Girl is honestly more in line with ASoIaF as a setting than any of the other characters. Her character is essentially an exaggerated amalgam of three different canon Stark girls - Sansa, Arya, and Lyanna. Their version of Westeros is altogether really weird in my opinion. There are gender-equal Northern noble houses (no, there most definitely are not), there are bastards with happy backgrounds and home lives (if you know anything about the legal standing of bastards in Westeros, you'd understand why that cannot be a thing), characters don't have a kill-on-sight policy with regards to bandits and highwaymen (I _guess_ I could see this kind of soft-heartedness for a Red Priest, _maybe,_ but they'd still be an absolute oddity), there is such a thing as a "medieval fantasy rehab" for some reason (what do you think this is, Discworld??)... it's okay to want to play more idealistic characters and stories that are "good" by modern standards, but then why did you pick ASoIaF as a setting?? Also, some things in this story really smell like GM favoritism... and then GM digs up Horse Girl's most likely private writing, presumably without her consent. I am kind of curious as to what that story looks like from the other side.

[@dingdongspaghetti]

so she was definitely weird, and the definitely should have gotten rid of her, but why is it considered triggering for her character to partake in substance abuse when OP is literally planning out his characters' withdrawal symptoms to make them as realistic as possible? kinda seems like a double standard imo, and there were way more valid things to criticise horse girl for

[@evilskills]

the difference is that the OP doesn't openly do drugs in front of the party because he knows that it's shameful but he still wants there to be an effect of it, horse girl is actively drinking huge amounts of alcohol in front of everyone to the point where they're actually worrying for her then she's repeatedly doing this. It would be way different if OP was acting like a crackhead but he doesn't so it's not as big of a double standard as you think.

[@AnalogMachine]

Because people can be traumatized by different things, mostly. But also because Horse Girl was not only seemingly doing this to spite others, and so being pretty public about it, she was apparently doing that sort of thing irl. OP was simply being discreet with the whole thing and playing his character the way that character was written. Horse Girl was not doing any of those things, and was being a bit of a donkey about it, too, from what I can tell.

[@JoveJoved]

Lost a little sympathy for the other players when OP unironically stated certain subjects were "triggering" for them. Have a feeling they're all a little cringe.

[@adrianinwinter]

Big time agree here.

[@Nidhogg151]

[@ShawsOwn]

I find it a bit....odd that the "horse girl's" fanfiction or ero-fiction was dug out after she left. The supposed problem was gone, but the group decided to summon her back by reading through her writing? Why? I mean, I could guess why. But that guess has me wondering how much of this tale is being told through a very one-sided & mean-spirited lens.

[@adrianinwinter]

Agreed. I have to think this particular party is wildly inflexible when it comes to the story rails, and HG was simply trying to breathe some variety into the tale.

[@ijustdocomments6777]

Man I use to be in a MMO guild with someone Horse Girl reminds me of for some reason, we'll call them "Moon Moon". Same very naive type of role player who didn't "get it" and was very much living in her own mental fantasy about her character and was always making "enhancements". Basically acted like a bad anime protagonist for the most part, but then started to get pretty hard into femdom and became weirdly misanthropic, started just picking fights with the male characters in our group. She'd say and do the most bizarre things sometimes, but to be clear, she wasn't "hated" OOC, or even IC for the most part, it was just a case of "gosh I wish you'd just do BETTER and be less confusing". We were a pretty relaxed group with low standards for the most part, there were a few edgelords, but it wasn't a particularly edgy guild. Societally though, we were in a fascist state and she had a tendency to go rogue on outings, so it ended with "Okay, we're going to have to actually punish your character this time, this behavior has gone too far" and her just gquitting rather than accepting consequences for her character's actions. 😅 I think by that time she realized her character growth had plateaued because without some appropriate increase in character maturity or at least a change in behavior, the GMs and senior players simply weren't going to let her progress. It's a little sad, but as far as I know, she ended up in a lesbian ERP guild and is completely happy.

[@kenabbott8585]

Sometimes, you do find a group of players who are just all assholes. Sometimes it's just an insular group and they really don't want to bring anyone else into their circle, and sometimes it's an echo chamber for their own bigotries where the targets of said bigotry are simply not going to have a good time. But if you can't point out what that bigotry is, or how they're being insular, then there's a different rule to apply. If one person you meet is an asshole, then you have met an asshole. If everybody you meet is an asshole, then you're the asshole.

[@countrygeneral]

The minute I've heard about the "good homebrew House that is an embodiment of everything good and kind" the OP lost me.

[@lootgoblinmarketplace]

Yeah, it is a weird choice to try and have a “blatant good guys” faction when it’s really a setting of picking the lesser of two evils.

[@Athetos_Admech]

It could work if they were portrayed as having an 'honor before reason' attitude. That way their virtues could also be a problem depending on the situation. Kinda like how Ned Stark still tried to do what he thought was right even though he knew it would probably just get him killed.

[@countrygeneral]

@@Athetos_Admech the existence of one person who is "honor before reason" in such a setting is more than justified. But a political entity like that wouldn't survive in it longer than 10 years, unless it was completely isolated from other Houses and their intrigues.

[@Athetos_Admech]

@@countrygeneral I agree that you would need a good explanation to justify such a faction in that setting. Maybe they would be tolerated as a buffer between the other houses and whatever dangers are further north? Or maybe it's just the current leader of that house who has that attitude and others are using his moral sensibilities to manipulate him.

And more a, huh it sounds like a very socially awkward girl who doesn't know how to actually speak to others or read the room case. Of a ah shouldn't talk about that topic, to hearing being closer to what nothing is wrong with it, it's just like any other joke or topic. To not really enjoy talking with other girls possibly aside the gm and mainly talks with guys. Possibly do to the writing case possibly has had bad experience with other girls in the past and tried hard to make friends with them like she did in the game but lead to basically what went down in game from there. To even a sad backstory being a case in there mind as a way to make a actual connection and feeling like "ah there just like me I can get along with them" to even hoping they have one despite not, to cling onto them in some way since not sure how to speak to others without possibly. This is simply my own interpretation of things said and easily could be wrong but for sure in the case she needed some therapy to talk with something's no doubt.
