Family Roleplay

@lecoupdefoudre said in Family Roleplay:
I think the notion that all roleplaying should be taken off this site that has been flitting around is detrimental and also just people blatantly misunderstanding it.
My thoughts exactly and I feel like everyone else who knows what Roleplaying is about agrees too.

@altered-dreams @BBoles3984 @lecoupdefoudre and others
please do not worry. Here at URSTYLE we appreciate all kinds of art and we understand that roleplaying is a kind of art. We are not going to prohibit you from creating sets and looks, that focus on role playing. This has never been our goal. Personally, I am the fan of many talented URSTYLERS, who use roleplaying to express themselves and you can find a lot of liked roleplaying sets on my profile.
Nevertheless, the sets we discovered were worrying to us, so we decided to contact all of you because we decided that there was a boundary that was exceeded.
Your feedback is highly appreciated on this case. We want all of you not only to be on the same page but also to feel valued and safe

I actually disagree because if this roleplay families aren't here it won't be that lively because one can't be making sets i don't find it amusing especially because there were lots of roleplay families and it wouldn't be fair to most people use @URSTYLE to occupy time and i might think urstyle might lose members if the get removed

Hi all!
I try to say my opinion, even if Italian is my language, so please try to be patient.
I have some friends here in UR who use roleplay, I admit that I don't read all their stories for obvious reasons of language, but their creations are very beautiful and touching, if there is a group in Italian, I would like to use roleplay. I believe they are a resource that could reserve nice surprises. I used roleplay (just writing, without images) and I had a lot of fun.
If the staff of UR wants to be a fashion site, but also art and, in this specific case, of expression, I think it's a good thing.But, in my opinion, there is a big "but": the photos of minors and apparently unknown people.
If, and I emphasize the "if", images are found on the net, in the public domain (children who work in fashion, young actors, etc.) should be usable, but, not to give rise to misunderstandings, I think it would be better to write on the set or in the title that the image(s) is(are) used solely for the purpose of roleplay and to emphasize that it's in the public domain.
I think it's right that everyone is free to express themselves, but with a limit to decorum, decency and respect for the rules and for the other members of this wonderful community.This is my personal opinion and does not want to be controversy or rhetoric, it's just and simply what I think.

Hello everyone!
As the administrator of such a group (The fictional's royals community, where users basically enjoy creating styles and situations for fictitious royal characters) I would be really sad that Urstyle forbid their existence. I think they have their place on this platform. In my opinion, they are an art form as well as a fictitious decor for a piece.However, as many have already said, I am very uncomfortable with the use of pictures of children who are neither actors nor models. The internet offers a lot of opportunity for its users to create all kinds of art forms, but unfortunately it also allows some organizations or ill-intentioned people to use it for immoral purposes.
It would be a pity that Urstyle unwittingly finds himself to be a tool for such groups or people. I would therefore be in favor of putting in place certain rules for the creation of such profiles or communities.

Okay so as someone who runs a family roleplay I don't see anything wrong and i have read all of your comments, sure I get what you are saying about the adoption, the two accounts I know do it to add onto the roleplay family's, not to traffic the children and we can talk to them about getting rid of anything about abuse or the backgrounds of the kids all together they only do it to help build the character for the roleplay and to explain why the child needs a new family. We try to make the families seem realistic and that is why not all of their backgrounds or history are perfect because that isn’t reality. Our roleplay families are basically our dream little families and most (I think all) faceclaims of kids are models or actors, they come from instagram from people who post public pictures of their kids and label them as insta models, we don't take them from private accounts, we also give credit to the owners of the photo and say that if you are the owner and don't want us to use the photo to message us and we will stop using it. We understand that a lot of you don't think this is okay but It isn’t hurting you and it is our way of being creative. We aren’t using the picture of the child for anything other then basically to show what the kid would look like. We aren’t doing any harm to anybody and we mind our own business and stay in our own little community. But if there is something we can do to make you feel a little more comfortable with it (besides getting rid of it all together) nicely talk about it with us and we can see what we can do

Dear Urstyle:
I'm part of the roleplay community and I completely understand how concerned Ursyle users and Urstyle team members are. I feel so ashamed of the way most people shared their opinions, I mean, "it makes my skind crawl". I felt like a criminal (and I'm clearly not such a thing). I'm just an average 15 year old girl who goes to school, has friends, a family but also likes to roleplay, and I sincerely can't fully understand why is it wrong. We're not harming anyone, we're not claiming pictures as ours and we are even open to change the "faceclaims" if the owners of them want so. There's a lot of things that make some "people's skin crawl" and they're not necessarily wrong because of that. I can understand about the adoption thing though, and I'm messaging my roleplaying pals to change that.
Again, I'm feeling so ashamed of how most people express about us. I'm not doing harm to anyone and I'm neither trying to. Sincerely, you guys made me feel pity for something I don't see any harm in, and I'm not trying to make you all feel pity either but most roleplayers are young people, most under 18. In my opinion, you guys shouldn't be taking the "child trafficking, stealing indentities" thing this far. I understand your concern, I really do, because I imagine of the things that "make my skin crawl" and I also think about if I was on your place and I'm able to understand.
I don't know what to write at this point, I've got my nerves on edge and I want to cry. I feel like I'm doing a crime or something very wrong. This is my happy place, my real life is happy too, but I like to also log on here when I'm sad and talk to my internet peers about things I can't talk with people in real life. Almost everyone has something that they can't, no matter how hard they try, they can't say to somebody face to face, and roleplaying, being able to have somebody to chat with it's something I'm able to do because of this website.
I personally don't like to do fashion sets like most people do here, and I know it's completely okay because everybody can give something a new purpouse no matter if it was meant for it or not. I sometimes like to see other's sets and give them some hearts because even though I don't find fun on them, the people who create them do and I respect that, I admire how much effort they put on their sets and that's why I ask you to please learn to do so too.
Lastly, I'm truly sorry with all of you. I respect whatever the Urstyle team decides to do with this subject. I can talk for myself and say, if Urstyle doesn't allow us to use photos anymore, I won't use them. but sincerely, I will keep doing children fashion sets because I love to do so. And if it ends up being allowed, I will keep roleplaying, too. Thanks Ursyle team for creating this awesome website and allowing us to express ourselves the way we want, and for also taking all opinions very serious. I hope you choose what's best for all of us, something that makes "average" users happy as well as the roleplay community happy too. But please think equal, I understand if quitting photo allowance it's what you consider best, but please don't ban roleplay accounts without asking about their point of view first. I don't think it's fair that you ban us because somebody else thinks it's sick and wrong. This is just my humble opinion and it's written in good faith. And also, I please ask back for the respect we give other users, we're not putting their form of expression in doubt, we have never done that because we understand and care about how bad others can feel. I feel courageous other accounts are exposing us as criminals while we're just trying to have fun and trying find our own little space in the Urstyle community.
With love, Nicole.

Polyvore would not allow it due to Copyright Infringement, Intellectual Property & Image Privacy Rights, especially if it involves child under 13. In this specific case, it is also considered Invasion of Privacy because the children are portrayed falsely and in a highly offensive manner (“abusive parents”, “for adoption” etc).
Community guidelines are always necessary. Respecting the guidelines will not disturb anyone’s creative flow.

( Bolded for emphasis )
I've actually seen that exact rule numerous times on different platforms. If I'm not mistaken, it's a catch-all because it's simply not doable to fine-comb if an RP child character is or is not outside of what's appropriate.
-
@myrrael you are absolutely right.
-
I just want to make clear ( one more time, as I got personally attacked ) that I know family RP is innocent. And I'm not attacking any form of RP. I'm also not attacking anyone in any way, shape or form. This isn't about 'you'. This is about websites rules and ( international ) law.
I was very careful in wording my gut reaction and stated quite clearly that my opinions were my own, as well.
( Sorry, @jesuisunlapin, this accidentally turned into a reply to your post. )
-
Also we weren't told about any of the rules about roleplay
-
@admin I am NOT an rp account
-
We're not roleplaying as some or most think, we don't message others acting out as if we were the characters. We just settle off families and do sets for them, that's it.
