I think kind of inconsiderate RPer that doesn't understand General is not the place for it. Might be a kid. Definitely new to the site.
However, I kind of think the ones complaining probably just needed to leave the thread rather than being obnoxious and calling the person cringey. That's more cringey than the RP is. The person isn't really hurting anything.
Also, kind of confused at how a person roleplaying as their dragon constitutes fetishy to the one poster?
I agree. Just let people be weird sometimes. I know I was super weird on the Neopets forums back in 2003 where my teenage spirit was set free and I awkwardly attempted Neopet RP. Good times! The worst this person is actually doing is RPing in the wrong forums.
As for the whole 'fetish-y" thing, this was Plaguemaw's response:
"No worries! I don't hold bad vibes for anyone disagreeing or even arguing, arguments are against problem, not people. I'm also a joyless adult grump. A grump who has been drawing furry commissions for past... soon 20 years (someone stop the clocks pls) and I've seen stuff like this a lot. Many who defend this are saying this is a kid but, well it's possible but, um. Let's just say it's better not to assume. :D" (https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/3011671/8#post_47655449)
idk where Plaguemaw comes off calling this "a bit fetish-y". Literally all the OP has said is that they want a dragon in FR to properly represent their OC or whatever. I've seen plenty of thinly-veiled fetish-baiting both on FR and in other places and this isn't it.
My first impression is that this is just a kid having some fun being a dragon online. There's no need to speculate about mental illnesses either, they're not hurting anyone atm, just having a good time.
this is why I hate anti-otherkin people, at best/worst you're making fun of a kid or someone who's mentally ill, neither is ok (and even if they were a neurotypical adult, they're still hurting no one, so it's ok)
people just want excuses to be mean to other people
Honestly, I think the assholes throwing tantrums and calling the thread things like cringe or a fetish should have been punished. Until they started, the thread was fine.
the thread from a bit ago where someone wrote an entire post about hoe they wanted a veilspun female to hypnotize and control an army of dragons and be a hypnosis qurrn DID come across as fetish-y imo. however... i genuinely cannot understand how "roleplaying as an angry dragon" can come across as fetishy to this person. i aldo think its completely inappropriate to accuse them of that stuff onsite.
