This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Mistwell;1051833So this latest video answers a lot of questions.

1) There are definitely witnesses to the assault.
2) There does seem to be a police report (and I was able to look it up and his name is listed in the data base in Indianapolis)
3) He isn't even the one directly behind the GoFundMe project, and he's not taking the money until the contributors decide how it should be used, and he's fine refunding all the money as well. He's not going to profit from the GoFundMe.
4) The accused responded to it on his private FB page, where he concludes with "#PunchNazis"

Well now, I'm sure the posters who jumped to the conclusion that it was faked for money will [strike]concede that this looks legit[/strike] double down.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

You can't drop a claim like that without a link!

I posted a link from Sargon earlier where he shows the actual clips in question, and also explains the whole Hambly getting banned from Magic:The Gathering thing. She's removed the clips and pics from her Instagram account, but you can still see them in his video. Relevant pics start at 3:30 minute mark in video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ale7CrTIloI
1)Don't let anyone's political agenda interfere with your enjoyment of games, regardless of their 'side'.

2) Don't forget to talk about things you enjoy. Don't get mired in constant negativity.

Thank you. Also, my comment was intended as a joke. But still, thank you.

Indeed, where is Xyxox? He hasn't claimed that "he never said that" and "we are putting words in his mouth" in the hours since that video came out....

Quote from: TJS;1051728Well perhaps - but you don't need someone to actually post to achieve that.

You just go and look.

Right. But for whatever reason some of these loons just have to crawl out from under their rock and try to rile things up so they have "evidence".

Quote from: ThatChrisGuy;1051817Maybe "exotic-dancering" themselves, at most.  It's not like they're getting paid for real hanky-panky if they're getting paid at all.

Anytime a person uses their body to sell something, they are whoring themselves.  That includes selling their own body for looks and up to and including sex.

Tangent:  This is NOT a bad thing.  I'm one of those few who think that this sort of job should be legalized.  Cuz at that point can be taxed, regulated and the workers can get safety nets like medical insurance.  Just call it as it is.

Not all cosplayers do it, because they put most of their work into the costume.  Yes, some of those costumes are skimpy, but you can tell which has put WORK into it to get it accurate.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1051750They posted promotions of the guys Gencon booth.

The fact GenCon is promoting a designer who walked off with 15 grand of backers money is nearly more onerous than the offsite attack. This is up there with Origins nominating or giving Zwiehander an award recently.

I've basically given up here because there is no discussing anything with GGers.

Given up after 24 posts... Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

GGers?! That's one feeble excuse... LOL.

A bogeyman invented by SJWs when some video game enthusiasts said hey maybe getting blowjobs in exchange for positive video game reviews was a bad way to go about the industry/art.  GG means GamerGate because we can't have a good controversy without attaching the "Gate" suffix (see : "Watergate").  For 99% of the world "Gamer-Gate" came and went in about 14 months; the IngSocJus crowd trots it out like Immanuel Goldstein periodically to try and rile up the Outer Party and Proles when they need to "win" an "argument".

Like our goalpost-shifting new buddy, there.

Oh sure it does.  I mean, from his perspective.  Alt-right, gamer-gater, I'm surprised he hasn't thrown incel and white nationalist on the table yet.
