regarding the whole "what would you do if you saw your face in a roleplay?" - it goes towards both ends of the spectrum. i remember sometime last year there was a big debacle because a musician almost sued invisionfree for defamation of character, because someone used his face on a prostitute character iirc. also, most sites ban rl child fcs because of child exploitation laws. on the other end, i'm pretty sure we all know pixiv's attitude towards using fanart, not to mention deviantart.
i don't know. the main reason i don't do rl sites anymore (although that's where i started) is because they do feel really same-y: 90 percent are always harry potter, slice of life, drama!high school, etc. also, a lot of the subplots for rl sites just make me feel... uncomfortable. like, a lot of that's just about partying and getting drunk, which isn't something i enjoy. i don't mind the whole aesthetics issue, though, mainly because i know pb sites are just as guilty.
@bracketed - the only time i've seen that done is with pokemon, and it was really uncommon.

i've seen an ohshc (canon) rp with rl faces.
they changed the setting to england???
the canons had set fcs. they weren't the actors from the live action. mori was the only asian, and he was korean. he was also way more adorable than honey-sempai which nope doesn't work
i was a bit peeved tbh (why not just make your own rich people school rp???) but i put that down to that particular admin being stupid rather than rl rpers as a whole.

I have a preference for animanga fc and I might prefer a certain site over another because of it, but not in the way where I would not join a RL-fc site just because of a RL-fc requirement.
As someone mentioned (/too lazy to look through the pages again) I'm not that keen on drinking and partying that RL sites commonly do as opposed to making cheesy, long, symbolical speeches that I enjoy way too much. My knowledge of RL sites is only from a first-impression basis but I'm sure there are those RL sites out there that have the same genre and style that I would enjoy. I'm just fine being where I am so I'm not broadening my horizon in regards to that.
I once attempted to join a RL superhero site, using a RL pic to represent the animated char I know. It was pretty fun searching for pics. I don't think knowledge of actor/actresses is that important. Even my knowledge of FCs are pretty limited. I do a little research and I find something that satisfied me.
So no, nothing really stops me from joining a RL rp. Maybe just the ratings. I'm 20 years old and Rated M scares me.

Also, actually, I'd join a RL-fc site just so I can fc a fabulous cosplayer.

Can someone make a rl site in the style of an animanga site.
Because I'm getting the feeling all these reasons to not join real life fc sites have nothing to do with using real life fcs :I

i've seen that done with pokemon, sailor moon, host club, and uh, a few others. anything with strict anime elements like pokemon, are animated little friends thus should kind of stay animanga fc based?? oh and i've seen personified disney characters.
i don't think actors will be anymore weirded out than when they find their picture unexpectedly on the page of a gossip magazine.
and i do agree with what tsun said, races in animanga are very limited. normally most fcs are assumed to be white/asian, and that's about it. we have a handfull of dark-skinned fcs which in all reality aren't really that dark.
uh, on the other hand the word count on some irl sites are ridiculous. though i did find a rapid fire no app hp rp which really did interest me. i'm just afraid i'll lose interest in it.
but yeah, the plots of most irl sites are kinda the same slice of life/hp/SLICE OF LIFE. just ugh. i mean i do really like harry potter rps though, i could harry potter all day.
um okay guys, so i checked on this template situation and it seems kinda right? i was on a jcink resource and i saw a bunch of beautiful templates with basically no space to actually put your words.
um can we talk about all the heterosexual characters though? i feel like almost every rl rp i go on there's like 99% hetero, while animanga is like 10% why are we both to opposite extremes cry
um but back to the faceclaim thing, i think using actors is fine if you can do it. i use models that'll never see if i actually join a site. cept david thewlis, but thats just for my pure love for him. but using youtube/myspace/famous scenie weenie internet people is just weird and not okay. if i had a penny for how many times ive seen danisnotonfire fc'd-
but anyway my main complaint is that i feel just odd using really people.

I've actually never been on an animanga site I don't think. Everything I rp on I tend to use RL Faceclaims. I've never found a site that I can understand and I worry that everything on Animanga sites focus on the 'omg shiney sparkle graphics'. It just... kinda feels... off putting if that makes sense.

The only reason for me really to not join a rl rp is distinct lack of lesbians.
Okay so disappointing okay. That is all.
Other than that, I started on RL and I see nothing really wrong with it? Except there's an alarming frequency you see extreme word counts and cliquey people and no diversity in plots on rlfc rather than animanga but there's still some animanga like that?
I just want two girls being cutesy together that's all I usually ask out of an rp okay

Can someone make a rl site in the style of an animanga site. Because I'm getting the feeling all these reasons to not join real life fc sites have nothing to do with using real life fcs :I there are plenty of rl sites that - have no or low word counts - have decent layouts and don't abuse templates - ban the use of non-celeb (ie, people not in the public eye) fcs; no photos grabbed off someone's tumblr/fb/etc - are not full of cliques - have male rpers - have a variety of sexualities represented - do not focus on boarding school/party lifestyle - (did i miss anything anyone's said just put it in here) just like how there's plenty of animanga sites that are the opposite. i have... three or four i have tabs on that i'd join if i didn't have zellij. i left the last rl rp i was on because of zellij. zellij basically ruined my life. but the point here is that it's not impossible or really all that hard to find a rl site that fits. go on a resource site with a more diverse community. put up a request and say "i would like a rl site with these things" and i can guarantee you'll get tonnes of replies. like seriously i feel like everyone's gone in to a bookshop or something, gone to the paranormal romance section and just announced "all literature is trash because ugh twilight". don't hang around the paranormal romance section if you know you don't like twilight. there's a whole other bookstore out there with things you will like.

Let's not talk about specific jcink resource sites because I use templates for spec there sometimes. And I love some of the templates enough to find inspiration there.

i feel bad for rl fc admins (and maybe rl fc rp'ers too at this point) who are on gangnam style and are reading this thread.
