How's my slaggin' driving?

Technically, Barricade doesn't care what you think. The more you hate him, the more he LOVES it.  Yum yum.  Nonetheless, he gets that you need to have a place to spill some spleen on his pure Hatred Awesomeness, so...here ya go

I have some questions regarding some of your recent developments with Barricade. Now, I realize he's been thrown into a strange and hard situation, being on a boat filled with squishies and no Decepticons but a few Autobots, but I noticed your post with Barricade asking how to ask a human female out

Yes, I completely understand your point. Honestly, he spent his first month pretty much hating everyone and that got him...precisely nowhere. People would drop tags with me after like...2 exchanges. It was really depressing and I reached a point where I said I had to do something to change that or I'd have to drop, because I got the feeling that while he/I are REALLY good at pissing people off, that's...not a great way to build real CR, and that since I knew precisely nobody here (still don't) you know, sometimes you wonder if people think YOU are like your character if you choose to play a jerk

I see where you're coming from with that. For the CR part, I think this has been mentioned before but you might want to try a more engaging sort of hate? The kind where instead of going "you all suck /hangs up" you go "you all suck, and I can prove it by [x]" or something specific that's largely to piss people off so they'll argue with you.

And of course, the requisite 'tag other people as well' note.

(As a sidenote, while you may think you're pissing people off, you probably aren't? We love to have our characters hate, and hurt them, after all.)

I realized he doesn't love them, and even having those kinds of physical urges doesn't bother me. It's how he's acting on them, I think. I don't think he'd actually ask her out, to be honest, but he might start being mean to her, or trying to find a way to ignore the feelings? These are just possible suggestions, not the end-all be-all of it, of course

I was going to edit but then I realized that you might be replying so...

On the Autobot/Human front, he didn't seem very fond of either of them. Sure, he hates Autobots more, but it seems like he takes a lot of joy in... squishing them. Or interrogating them, just an observation.
