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.

TL;DR: Erik from Karen's Tavern was bragging about getting some adventure you've never heard of taken down because he complained that its description contained the phrase "All Cops Are Bastards"... and that's too political and doesn't have anything to do with the product.  

Here's my blog post that links back to Karen's original blog post (he closed comments this morning after putting his foot in it): https://vengersatanis.blogspot.com/2020/08/karen-tenkar-gets-offended.html

Discuss!

p.s. Oops, I meant the thread title to say Erik "Karen" Tenkar.  Oh well.

Oh fuck...

$100 internet bucks says DTRPG jumped on this so hard for exactly ONE reason...They just set the precedent for removal of ANYTHING they might view as 'political'

...and they can point this out and say they did it to an SJW-oriented/leftist product, so they obviously are able be fair about it...


Tenkar, if you are reading this...I hope that someone beats you into a fucking coma with a tire iron, you worthless, ignorant piece of shit...

"ACAB" is a "white skinhead motto"? WTF.

Censorship bad, Tenkar. Censorship is bad, OBS.

Isn't Tenkar a retired cop? Doesn't really reflect well on the profession when you're going out of your way to suppress people's rights to publish garbage...
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Agreed, censorship is BAD, always.

I guess he proved ALL Cops really are Bastards. So there's a silver lining, I suppose.

Oh that would be rich.  

So instead of using his well known blog to call attention to the thing and actually do some protesting type of stuff, he runs to the nanny state cause his fee-fees got hurt...and then he probably wonders why people don't respect cops.

I thought OSR-types were thick-skinned enough to deal with a nobody doing a little name-calling....

God, I fucking despise cancel-culture idiots.

Tenkar is definitely very thin skinned. Actual OSR content creators generally seem made of sterner stuff - Pundit and Venger, for instance.

I'm a little conflicted on this one. While I'm not for censorship, people on the left certainly haven't hesitated to deplatform anything they can with something they perceive to be a conservative political message.

I guess here on theRPGsite; any form of censorship, is viewed as being akin to releasing a loud fart during a church service?
I need you to roll a perception check.....

Ummm, censorship should be considered akin to shooting everyone in the church because ONE person released a loud fart. That is not specific to theRPGsite. :-P

Venger - I also don't want to see products with "Hail Cthulhu" taken down, but I would want to see a bumper sticker...

I'm all for blasting rioters into hamburger, but speech is NOT violence. Violence is violence.

ACAB is dumb commie noise, but it's also free speech.

If we want free speech for ourselves, then we must defend the free speech of others.
(though its kinda hysterical when these AntiFart white kids have been filmed screaming racist idiocy at black cops.)

Tenkar the Karen should be ashamed of himself, and OBS needs to be replaced.

What a tremendous idea. This will in no way set an easily citeable precedent which can be used to run roughshod over works and creators targeted by the mob. And it surely won't be one steps to right, and nine to the left.
Now with a Zine!
