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.

They will target your payment processor, which has SJWs in its staff if not its board, and deplatform you.
They will target your host provider, which has SJWs in its staff if not its board, and deplatform you.
They will target your bank, which has SJWs in its staff if not its board, and deplatform you.
They will target your governments, which has SJWs in its staff if not in office, and push through legal changes to legitimize this practice and safeguard it in the courts.

They will do these things because they have, starting with the usual Acceptable Targets to normalize the practice Boiling Frog Style.

They hate you, want you dead, and want to pervert and turn out your children to become their successors and destroy your legacy. This is not a polite dispute; this is the same dirty total war that began in 1917 and it won't stop until these wannabee world-conquerors are stomped out and their ashes both blessed and salted so nothing grows after it.

But Bradford, how do you really feel? :)

Fortunately, the SJWs don't have the control nor reach they desire (or claim to have). Its quite possible for TrumpCon to both launch and succeed.

What? Everyone knows any non-SJW con might as well rename itself TrumpCon!

And the free publicity would be AH-mazing!

Quote from: Omega;1052785The problem is that people have been standing up to them and the SJWs and Feminists have just started calling anyone who speaks out as Nazis and Toxic Males and of course that closes down any resistance.

Control the language  and you control the  debate.

Everyone has their bogeyman. For Kyle Aaron, it's Bitter Non Gamers like myself; for the Pundit, it's "the Swine"; for me, it's anti-Christian cultists of Venus Paneros and her consort Moloch. :)

Does anyone know what was actually said at Anitas panel at GenCon? I can guess it was the usual "everything is sexist yadda yadda" screed.

It would be interesting to know what she did say and how it was received.  In video games, there isn't a large percentage of heroines and GTA does let you fuck a prostitute and then kick her out of the car without paying her.

In RPGs, female players have been around since the beginning and while purple might have you believe there's a PC rapist at every table, that's not the reality.  Also anecdotal evidence shows a lot of female gamers like the Red Sonja-type characters, the sexy kickass warriors or Witcher-style powerful sorceresses, etc, and aren't sex-negative.

Of course, I'm sure a good chunk of the 2000 people who heard the speech were Identitarians, so she was basically preaching to the choir, but still, it would be interesting to hear the responses.

Nobody saw Anita's panel which is why you haven't heard about it. Nobody goes to panels at Gencon

I've been trying to find info about it for a couple weeks now.  The GenCon listing for the event said it would be on their Twitch and YouTube for view after the convention.  My Google-fu is either so weak that I am failing at finding those, or no one is talking about it/showing it.

Good. The less attention Auntie Anita gets, the better.
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.

I wonder about that. It seems that the more people who are exposed to her and her antics, the less credibility she garners.
"Meh."

The GOH panels or supposed discussions had a delayed stream on twitch the following day,  it is as if they did not want these things floating around.  I was most interested in the one with Nolan T Jones because of a  tweet from Roll20app with him saying that they curated the content on Roll20.  I really wanted to know what the fuck he meant by curating content.  Unfortunately I only caught the end of it where he was lamenting the fact that the front rows had white guys in them.  Also the event was moderated by the recipient of the email that sparked this thread off.

When I went back in 2016, I went to the Delta Green panel. It was a full house too. Then again, that panel was of interest to me, and it didn't conflict with playing any games I was interested in (I remember I skipped another one because it was at the same time Steve Perrin was running a demo of his rewrite of Superhero 2044, and I'd rather play a game with Steve Perrin than attend a panel, cause it's Steve Perrin)

I think we hit saturation during Gamergate. I hope we're at the point where she can fade into obscurity again.
