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.

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.

If she was never popular in the comics nor in the cartoon, then what makes you think she would be popular in a live action tv show?  

Not to mention how about we make a actual character with some depth that just happens to be a lesbian instead of a shallow character whose only characteristic is being a lesbian.  It is not rocket science.

Well, that was more coherent than that video. I can't comment on the popularity of Batwoman in the comics and I'd have to get around to checking out the show before commenting on the character, but I'll keep your and others thoughts in mind.

It apparently works for porn.

If you're measuring character depth by how far a fist will go into orifices, then I guess porn has depth.

Alot of adult and even very adult comics have more depth and characterization than these modern woke wagon shows.

I disagree with Rage here, sure, the character was made as a "diversity & Inclusion" purse puppy, but it was well written (at least until I started boycotting DC) and constantly outsold characters written as purse puppies.

Meaning in the comics she was a likable character, and well written. The TV show on the other hand?

Woke, meh, boring, and totally coincidental.

Quote from: GeekyBugle;1110077Ruby Rose CAN act,

Says you.

That's all I got, unless you want my personal breakdown of her failures as an Actress, which I'll warn you is probably very very long, but not terribly deep or insightful.  The ONLY time I think I've been... impressed is probably too strong a word but work with me here... impressed with her acting was that one Resident Evil movie she was in, which entirely coincidentally (I'm not being sly there, I mean it...) her character died roughly ten minutes after being introduced.
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.

No problem, I was wondering as it seems to be one those things that's popular to make allot of detailed vehement (positive and negative claims without seeing it. Those generally need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Yeah, I've seen it and it's total garbage, possibly the worst piece of shit I've had the misfortune of viewing, bad on every conceivable level. Seriously.

How about you? You seen it?

Not yet, no. I've been looking around to get opinions and info on it. I do intend to check it out as what I've heard sounds interesting.Was there anything about it that stood out to you in particular?
