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.

RPG publisher non-SJW whitelist?

I was just looking at rpgnet, saw something about blacklisting a publisher for association with GamerGate.

Conversely, if I want to prioritise purchasing from publishers who explicitly repudiate SJW ideology and methods, is there such a whitelist? Or some examples? They don't have to be explictly anti-SJW like Pundit or deliberately provocative like James Desborough, it's enough they say "this behaviour is not acceptable" or "no we will not be changing our book cover, thank you very much."  So I don't count publishers who are not themselves SJW but will seek to appease SJWs when pushed - I'm thinking of publishers who explicitly will not allow SJW ideology to influence them. Something like WotC's rejection of the anti-Pundit/ZS SJW attack might count I guess.

A blacklist of explicitly SJW publishers (Paizo, Evil Hat) would also be useful I guess, but I don't want to be too negative and I think these are often well known already.
