You know, I love RPs. I've been RPing ever since I was 7 and first joined this site as Mametchi 4ever. I still love them, otherwise, I wouldn't be posting a rant here about it. Almost 99% of the time, I RP guys.
Most RPs these days, whether they be about fantasy or romance, have more girls than guys (Which is to be expected of course, considering this site has more girls than guys, and RPs tend to attract girls rather than guys). I would be fine with this, albeit one issue...
The fact that 90% of the girls here roleplay "kawaii"'s (Japanese for cute, if you somehow don't know that). A "kawaii" is what my buds and I have taken to calling female RP characters that have the traits of shoujo manga heroines (Or of most fictional story heroines). These traits include sweet, kind, pretty/cute (Both are used most of the time), happy, and positive. Of course, if you were to look at the form of the offenders, you may not be able to tell. Since most RP's have rules against Sues, faults are pretty much always added. But the creators of "kawaii"'s tend to ALWAYS forget the negative traits in a few posts. So soon enough, you have a FREAKING SUE running throughout your RP.
EDIT: I forgot to add this part, but "Kawaii"'s are generally played by girls who want to have cute characters and think that their characters are very cute.
So, in short, the definition of a "Kawaii": A female character who appears to not be a sue at first but later morphs into a sue with almost unrealistic traits. (Oh, and a quick note ahead of time: I don't want to RP on any other sites cuz I hate super active RPs. I start to lose my real life cuz I feel the need to get on every 3 seconds to update. Which is why I RP here. So don't tell me to go to another site, and then walk away with a smirk thinking you've won). It's as terrible as the literacy issue. In one RP I made myself, two people playing "kawaii"'s joined. And guess what? Those two girls are pretty much the same.
I am sick and tired of seeing girls that are all sweet, cute, and have the works of a sue! There are many types of girls out there! In example, there are the preppy *****es, the super shy and always neglected to be noticed type, the goth type, the rude type, the intelligent and hiding scars type... I myself, when I do play girls, tend to stray toward the rude, intelligent type. And yet, here, all I seem to see are sweet and cute girls. I've had enough. Of course, this topic won't stop the "kawaii"'s from coming. Heck, they'll probably keep on coming, into every RP I join or make. I'll have to just grit my teeth and move on, but I still wanted to get out my opinion to everybody on this forum. And with that, I conclude this rant speech. I changed my mind, now this is a speech. Not a rant. Well it is more of a rant, but to satisfy my reckless, snarky self, I wanted it to be a speech. So there.
