So apparently, in-game mechanics (such as a face icon) matter when you are roleplaying, huh? Why is that and why is a GM keeping us from using different Face Icons for whatever reason they did not state but 'its a meme! so no.', eh?

One thing is a person using a Persona 5 cut-in, and roleplaying it like.

Meme Lord smirks! An overused copyrighted music starts playing from their Marching Band as they attack the enemy's weakness, and an annoying cat starts randomly rating their performance based on their appearance!! Once the strike hits! Oh boy, 420 D A N K N E S S damage!

This is the most disgusting example I could come with. And THIS is a meme. So, going on...

If what I demonstrated over there is a real meme, it can be easy to differ people using the cut-in in one battle situation and roleplaying it out, and this cut-in is just for emphasis and nothing else. Like for example:

Average Roleplayer simply dashes forward, drawing out their blade as they swipe it forward when the right chance is given! Each strike hoping to hit and land a fairly satisfying blow to draw blood from their foes!

It's all a matter of how you are using it, responsibility, and cases of disruptance can be just screenshot and tossed at GMs for justice. Just because one player's being toxic with those, it doesn't mean the whole rest of the server is using them like a bunch of cross-eyed retards. It's just a game, why to be so strict on it? See a trollface or a baby face icon? Sure, that's certainly going to ruin the flow of RP. But... that? Come on now.

PS: None of the examples actually happened, but what really happened was a random GM warning by Slydria telling us to stop using those cut-ins because they're apparently a 'meme'. Which was needless in my opinion.
