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: Cigalazade;1142859I apologize since I've been effectively out of the hobby for about ten years, but why did this stuff take root in role playing games of all things (other stuff I can see why). Most of these games fantasy and you can make up whatever kind of character you want basically.

Why? because they see it as platforms to spread their mental disease. Infect as many as you can as often as you can while trying to tear down any resistance by painting them as the fasists when its they who are the fascists using all the tactics and tricks in the playbook.

Its in all levels of media. Boar gamings been infested at a slower rate. But its increasingly there.

really, which of the 14 characteristics of fascism do 'sjw's' hit?  Nationalism? Disdain for Human Rights? Identification of a minority group as the enemies of morality?  Militarism? Sexism? Seizure of the media? Protection of Corporate power ? Obsession with national security?  Linking faith and government? Suppression of Unions? Disdain for intellectualism and the arts? Obsession with crime and punishment?  Cronyism, nepotism and corruption? Disdain for, and undermining of elections?

Quote from: GeekyBugle;1142854For some "definitions" of "far/extreme/alt right" this is true.

By which I mean you think anyone who disagrees with you is part of those groups.

You don't really know what I think you miserable fuck. You love to put words in other people's mouths and then argue those points. I get it. You are shit at understanding people so you need to reframe everything into your own simple terms. Life's not like that sweetums. My definitions are far more mainstream than the shit you spew, and I don't expect you to be able to keep up with reality.

Oh look another disingenuous fuck except this one seems to be mentally retarded as well.

You know full well what to expect when you came to this site. So take your oppression Olympics and shove it up your ass. Your like the guy going to a vegan restaurant was told it had no meat yet still pulling shit fit because he is not getting his way.

Get skull fucked you hypocrite because you like putting words in people mouths yet because mommy told you were destined for greater things that the same does not apply to yourself. If you ahte us so much why even stay on this site. I don't get posters like you. This place you hate the posters so much yet still stay. Me if I don't like a forum I leave.

3,2,1, I don't care style post.

Your Forgotten Realms was my first The Last Jedi.

If the party is gonna die, they want to be riding and blasting/hacking away at a separate one of Tiamat's heads as she plummets towards earth with broken wings while Solars and Planars sing.

They're still having a hard time of it, because controlling the publishers isn't enough. They have to control the end user as well. It does them no good if you buy* their Social Justice RPG Remix and rip out the theme and replace it with Murderhobo Simulator 3000.

* and that assumes you buy it and don't pirate the damn thing.

You actually gave them 10....and I would go 12.

Obsession with crime and punishment is a yes...(Cancel culture for thought crime)
religion and govt is a yes, because an aboslute bend the knee or die philosophy IS a religion, whether it has some deity or not.


I don't even look at the Ennies anymore, although I did back the Arkadia Faux-Greek setting on KS.

How bizarre! I mean, it's clear he who controls the media influences the world. But these people are clearly aiming for global domination. It's almost as if the gatekeeper for the gates of hell left the gates unattended and these creatures just started coming to surface devouring souls. They prey on the people with fragile states of mind to do their bidding for them. Who could be behind this, really?

For someone who aims to deliver an accurate medieval setting, I can't have women 3 times stronger than men. That's for the superhero books.
There's nothing stopping you from creating a bi/homosexual character in my games. It's just simply not a priority, but the choice remains in the player's hands.

Moved my response to Pundit's forum in a new thread.
Quote from: Rhedyn

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

you miss spelt paedophile loving white nationalists (aka conservatives and Christians )

Antifa have killed exactly no one, so how exactly they are militaristic compared to the frantic masturbation of conservatives to films of mass shooting victims, torture victims from abu gharaid and gitmo, and the dismembered child victims of drone strikes, I don't know.

don't see any obsession with national security, nor massive empowerment of unaccountable and hyper violent psychotic thugs (aka the police)

what junk science exactly?  protecting the sciences from being used as a weapon by the malignant conservative death cult, is not junk science, stopping the traitors of the republican party deleting data is not junk science, resisting evil is not junk science.

Beyond a handful of publishers I barely recognize anything on the list. Are the are Ennies just for obscure CB or CB less known rpg publishers?

The Ennies have been co-opted by the woke mob, as such they are to give head pats to those who toe the cult's line.

Just like with the Eisners, Hugos, Nebulas, etc. Maybe the Dragon Awards are still relevant, MAYBE.

As far as I know, the Dragons are apolitical still. The shake-up a while back seems to have 'regularized' them politically.

Yes, I know 'but the diversity track!'. Think of it as containment. With any luck it'll sputter out and we can go back to having about a hundred or so Deadpools in the Marriott lobby again.
