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: NiallS
Can't it do both? After all you do say that the catgirl-goddess-wife is sexualised and given the tone of your e-mail you are clearly claiming some insight into the underlying assumptions of the show. It doesn't seem too remarkable that a media form that is pandering to adult women contains an element of fantasy about being younger.


I don't think you're reading the same post I wrote.  Anyhow, I posted links to youtube versions so you can see what I think is a minimally sexual character -- one who would like to talk about sexual roles but who isn't particularly interested in sex.

This, of course, assumes that the show is not some kind of unclean witchcraft that will rot our souls the moment we look at it.
"By their way of thinking, gold and experience goes[sic] much further when divided by one. Such shortsighted individuals are quick to stab their fellow players in the back if they think it puts them ahead. They see the game solely as a contest between themselves and their fellow players.  How sad.  Clearly the game is a contest between the players and the GM.  Any contest against your fellow party members is secondary."

I'm not a Westerner but I denounce the show. I haven't watched it, but I still denounce it.

I think we all do, David.  Not because of the Show itself, but because Riprock told us too.

One of us.One of us.One of us....
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.
