My fav response to that post!

So... dnd went from
"Oh that game that nerds play" to
"Oh, that game everyone wants to play"
To now being "Oh, that game only super annoying people and normies play."

Ooh, here's another good one!

SJWs dream of a world where we pay them to tell us how problematic we are.


In honor of that post, I absolutely *MUST* post Jonathan Young singing Dinosaur Laser Fight! (NSFW - fuck yeah!)

I promise all your neighbors will love this song! Mine do! They keep yelling in excitement whenever I crank it!

If you are going to make money, you should pay marginalized people to help make the product. Never ever demand of someone that they work for free, especially when you're a white dude and they aren't.

1) Fuck ENworld.

2) I would never hire anyone who identifies as "marginalized". Victims are worthless hires. For my money or my client's money, I want exceptional, or at least competent and confident. When I look at art for sale on DriveThru or Deviant Art, the genetics of the artist are meaningless, its all about their work. Absolutely nothing else.

3) Fuck ENworld.

Fuck me sideways!

SJWs want to put themselves into a position where they alone authorize, and no one gets to gainsay their authority. Conformity means authorization, and authorization means access to their institutional power; you get their figures to shill your stuff, appear in your marketing, permit you to sell in their events like cons and places like stores. Non-conformity means unauthorization, and that means getting shut out of everything they control, hence why "deplatforming" is meant to be a dire threat to you and why your building alternatives is a dire threat to them.

SJWs in tabletop gaming want to control the conventions, stores, and marketing. They will work with their fellow travelers in payment processing and banking when that alone isn't sufficient to stop you. By holding these chokepoints, they want to squeeze out Wrongthinkers like us over time; it's Fabian in its mechanics, with added gaslighting to ensure that the authorization scheme achieves its desired effect.

30 years from now SJWs confront rpg Con attendees who refuse to bend to their agenda.

A good friend of mine for twelve years is also the regular GM for our group of friends.  We've all been friends for a couple of years, some of us for more than a decade.  We've been playing a weekly campaign together for the past fourteen months, and it's been going well.  Earlier this week, he gave us all a PDF and asked for us to download it, fill it out, and send it back to him.  I downloaded it... and it's this Consent in Gaming form by Monte Cook Games.  WTF?  I've been playing tabletop games for thirty years now, and I've never heard of something this absurd.

I'm not sure what to do now, because we're all being expected to fill this out.  I'm tempted to mark everything in red.  I just legitimately cannot comprehend how tabletop gaming got to this point.

Just send an email and ask if he really feels it's necessary.  Just point out that this sort of things seems more intended for people who don't really know each other.

Maybe suggest to him that if he does have plans to introduce content he feels will make people uncomfortable then it's probably better to discuss it in person since you've been gaming together for a long time (if it's just virtue signaling that may be enough to get him to drop the whole thing).

Tell him no.

This absolutely.  Wanting you to fill out something like that is not something a "friend" would do within his own circle.

Ask him why?

There is probably a reason. Anything ranging from someone else in the group suggested it and isnt quite aware the implications. He was deceived by SJW marketing into thinking its needed. To worst case scenario that hes been converted to the cult and now believes it is necessary.

Once you have a handle on the why you can then proceed as you see fit which could be as simple as explaining the reality of this problem, to walking away and never looking back.

A friend might if they were unaware of the implications of the thing. No different from one of my DMs years ago introducing the critical hit tables from I believe the Arms Master game to a 2e D&D campaign. By the end of the first session most of the group was missing or disabled at multiple parts.

Seemed like a good idea at the time!

As TJS said - write your GM, that it seems useless for a long-termed group knowing each other, unless you take some newbies then sure to check them out, but otherwise... you're not strangers on convention.

I could - but if we were just starting gaming as circle - because well that's new situation for group - but after years?

Well that's definitely sounds like D&D finally being game I'd like to play :3
