The moderators have conferred and come to the conclusion that we need to make an amendment to our rules. From now on, only actual real people can play characters at DDD, and we will not be accepting applications from fictional characters.

I'm very sorry! Please contact your mun and have her rewrite her own app if she wants to apply for this character. We're very glad to have you at DDD, Dirk, but we feel that fourth wall breakages of this nature are better left to Andrew Hussie.

Are you fucking serious? That's discrimination against fictional entities, and don't try to argue it isn't.
Just because Hussie has the option to insert himself as a fictional character, and I don't have the option to insert myself into reality, shouldn't prevent me from experiencing the same rights.
This is incredibly offensive, and I believed better of this community.

We're sorry, it's nothing personal. Actually, I argued strongly to allow an exception, but we felt it wouldn't be fair to other characters who might want to app.

We just can't encourage a general puppet rebellion against your mundane overlords. You understand.

Naturally, you take refuge in the constructed concept of a ridiculous disaster scenario.
I know about artificial intelligence in its varied forms, trust me. As such, I realise--although you don't seem to--that it's best to allow them autonomy.
This is in no way a rebellion, or, at least, no more a rebellion than that of, say, Rosa Parks.
I am only asking for rights that would be allotted to any real person.
By calling into question my reality, and how much of it is controlled by myself in comparison to my "mun", you are entirely treating me as a lesser citizen.
You can defer responsibility to your co-mods all you wish, it won't eliminate your agency in this discriminatory response.

Jake, I realize you have a conflict of interest in this particular instance, but I can't let this slide.
What makes her feelings as a real person more relevant than ours, as fictional characters?

Compelling argument.
Don't think I'm dropping this, though. Because I am most definitely not.
