guess I'll start to get the ball rolling ^_^ this post will be a mess
TW: sensitive topics
the weirdest person that sticks out to me the most is this girl I met on Amino, who I'll call Karen. If you don't know what Amino is, its basically an app where you can create/join communities that you're interested in. If you're familiar with the app then you'll know there's, for some reason, a ton of weirdos on there regardless of the community you're in.
so anyway, the community in which this story takes place is one dedicated to Kingdom Hearts fans. I used to moderate a roleplay chatroom on there back when I was into that sorta thing, so I saw a lot of interesting stuff. The first thing that caught my eye about Karen was the character (OC) she played as in the roleplay. Usually people will RP a character from their favourite game/movie, like Sephiroth, the Joker, Wolverine... but Karen's character was...herself, but as a princess. Seemed kind of vain, and boy was I right.
There wasn't a set-in-stone story in the roleplay, meaning the users dictated how the story went with no rules or lore. It was basically a free for all. you could go in there and do what you wanted, interact with whoever you want, fight whatever/whoever you want, etc. Karen really took advantage of this and I've had to stop her a few times to keep things child friendly. But alas there were a few times she slipped through my fingers when I was offline to deal with her.
Heres a list of some of the stories she had created for her character, in a RP chat filled with children
1. a school shooting
2. r*pe, and asking her roleplay "mom" to take her to a counselor. she roleplayed as the counselor and the boy who tried r*ping her. She also roleplayed as her lawyer AND the judge. needless to say she went all out on this one.
3. actual murder. in the RP she had a "sister" who was another user in the chat. Karen murdered her because she "lost control" or something bizarre
There were probably more that I didn't see, but eventually she got the chat deleted. From the second I met Karen I knew there was something seriously wrong. It became obvious over time that the reason she was putting herself in these tragic situations was so others could bask her in pity. She wanted to be the center of attention at all times and did whatever she could to achieve that.
Wish I could say that's all she did. She also had a "boyfriend" in the roleplay, who was just herself playing another character. I'll call "him" Joe. So Karen would occasionally make Princess Karen and Joe argue in the RP, and the arguments would get pretty intense. The weird thing was that Karen herself would actually get upset over Joe, as if he was a real person and her actual boyfriend IRL. She'd write paragraphs in other chats about how hurt she was. I remember asking her if Joe was an actual person IRL and she said no.
So yeah lol...I went back to the Amino recently and she's still active, this time in another RP chat. unfortunately whatever she's going through hasn't gotten better because she literally hasn't changed one bit.:/
