I'm trying to wrap my head around how in the hell anybody would think "Anglo-Saxon" is somehow racist.

Anything having to do with Europeans, especially if it deals with Their history, is automatically racist. Didn't you know that, bigot?

Didn't someone on here ask the question about what would happen if you created an RPG and called in "Non Woke"?   

Guess we know what happens.  Snowflakes will get offended

We already knew that would happen because that is what always happens. Every time anyone bucks the woke agenda they get slapped with Natzi and whatever.

And even if you do not. They will eventually hallucinate some offense and do it anyhow.

Yeah, now that there is a beginning of backlash against wokeness and SJW's and their "Safety Tools" never taking off, they are flailing because that minute inkling of power they had is fading away.

It's a religion. Whitey is their Satan and scapegoat.

Nevermind that African Americans and Latin Americans have inherited European genetics and culture.

Gegilles, is there a backerkit or other method to make a purchase in the time past the KS closure?

A lot of those responses over on that other site are just pure strawman gibberish.

"Because they are Nazis, this justifies my extremist position."

No, these people aren't arguing for human rights with their woke nonsense. They're just being White Knight turds.

  They also seem to repeat to one another a trope of sorts that alt right people (literally anyone who is not progressive) feels the woke crowd is faking their feelings.  Those idiots miss the obvious on that one, people do not think they are faking it because of a difference in thought, they think they are faking it because a shitload of them act like sociopaths....and sociopaths fake their feels all the time.

Absolutely... Don't ever ask them for facts and figures or else they will cry.

I love the way that one of the shite-bag fascists, I mean moderators, said that 90% of the hobby are all now thinking 'their way'. I'd love to know where they got that 'hard data' from. I'll wait... LOL

I mean, why not just make up some shit to try and sell their woke scold agenda?

Definitely.

It's cosplaying at humanity, acting instead of being human.

LOL... and that question! Do they not realize they are participants in a forum about role-playing?
Seriously... "who does one perform for?"
Well, some people love a performance.
They might even participate in such "role-playing" activities as a hobby. It's pretty shocking, I know.
They play at roles as a hobby for the love of playing these roles, you see.
(If anyone should understand role-playing at things for the personal fulfillment of playing roles, it probably should be role-playing gamers.)

*sigh* The hive mind used to be something we avoided, being free men of the West.

Now, it's back to tribalism. Regressive. Active stupidity.

I enjoyed my RPG books in the day when we didn't require political statements to prove our bona fides or the performative humanism of the authors. Don't underestimate your audience, and all that. We're shocked when art doesn't treat us like children... and it wasn't that long ago when they used to treat us like adults, but not any more.

  They apparently built it off the comparative numbers for the progressive-friendly OSR group on Facebook and the Conservative OSR group on Facebook.

   I wouldn't be surprised if they're right about the people who have opinions, but I'm not sure that makes up more than 10% of the RPG hobby.

From that observation, they might have a point (at first glance but beyond that..). However, the jack-booted mod seemed to think that the whole hobby was 90% 'their way'. And that's bollox says I.

I think that a heck of a lot of people just doesn't really care about that stuff when they want to game. They probably joined that group because it's the biggest and has a lot of posts.

Yes indeed! The 90s were great. We were all treated like adults... Now we are told to shut up and take our medicine.

If that is indeed their data set then their argument is weak as fuck, because the vast majority of FB users anymore are Leftoids. Literally everyone I know IRL who's a "vile right wing Nazi" left FB in the last year or two.

So after allowing to shit post and allow people to say crap about Pundit, Zac, Greg and anyone else but wouldn't ban them because they said it "In the heat of the moment" the snowflake moderators at the big purple turd locked the thread.

Paint me surprised.

Another observation I have about that site in general is how much the discourse resembles that of Maoist China.  Everyone falls over themself to proclaim their "revolutionary credentials" and attack the latest proclaimed oppressor, enemy, splittist, hegemon, or whatever.  But the wind will change soon enough and no matter what side you pick, you'll eventually become the target.

Very good point.
