Hello, so I have this Roleplay going on with this other person. At first the way they Roleplay didn’t really bother me, but then after a few weeks of ya roleplaying together things change. Like, first they Roleplay with First point of view which isn’t a huge pet peeve, but they incorporate themselves into the story which is fine I guess, but our Roleplay is a bit historic which means I like things to be historically accurate. Well they didn’t really care about. Plus, every time one of my characters snap at her character she acts all dramatic, and threatens some serious and sensitive topics which I’m not going to mention because it can trigger someone.
Also, one more thing to note this person makes a post that she’ll be living the community in which the Roleplay takes place every time someone doesn’t respond to her. So, how do I let them know that I am no longer interested in roleplaying with them? I don’t want to be rude of course, but it’s getting to the point that I’m about to snap on how dramatic they can be and how they can just throw around sensitive topics like that.

If it were me, I would try to explain as best as I can what's going on and that I am losing interest.
Be diplomatic and try to end it peacefully.
Make sure you're not angry when you write them back, first of all. It'll help a lot. It's best to be honest, but gentle.
1) You're not happy with where the RP is going
2) Your styles (and their behaviour) don't mesh in a way that excites you
3) And you would like to stop.
An RP isn't automatically a friendship. It's a collaboration. And most people understand that. Just, don't offer any kind of criticism. It doesn't seem this situation is a place where that's welcome. Good luck! Let's hope for a simple, "Aw, okay."

Just be honest, okay maybe not totally honest but tell them you'd like to stop and that it's not personal.
Do NOT ghost them, it's seriously rude and I feel far more damaging.
Good luck.
Maybe tell them to take care of themselves and that you wish them the best? Kinda, try to end on a positive note? be polite, be considerate but yeah... you can't force yourself to do something you're not enjoying for someone else's sake. that's not fair.

Firstly, do not ghost them. Give them at least a reason as to why you want to stop, and if possible, explain exactly why you want to stop. Do not contribute to the already widespread problem of ghosting. Maybe if you explain why, just maybe, they'll have a change of heart, and will try to improve upon themselves sooner or later. Maybe then they'll realize "hey, people don't like me doing this, maybe I should stop doing rps this way?"
If you can manage to do that, you've already done more good than bad. We know it's hard to tell someone "no", or that you don't want to do something with them anymore. However, it is in everyone's best interest to thoroughly explain as to why you no longer want to RP with them. Wether it be their characters, mannerisms, or just plain bad behaviors. If you tell a person what's wrong, that will give them the chance to improve themselves.
All you need to do, is explain why, say goodbye, and just leave it off there at a bare minimum. At least then you'll give them some semblance of helpful criticism. Do note, that for me personally, they sound really young, or just plain arrogant. And if they pitch a fit after you've done so, just ignore them, or block them. Maybe even point them to a mentor so they can learn how to "RP better" per se. If they're not willing to stick through something, it's not your fault. Remember that.
I hope this didn't sound rude, and I hope this helps you.
