Im not trying to aks about some trigger thing or whatever. I wanted to ask if any of you gamers lended a book/magasine/anything to other players for them to just not give them back and retract from contact. Once it happened to me when i was a teeanger and started with the hobby. Then it happened in a company i worked in, with a person i thought was a normal adult(a cthulhu main rulebook). Now im pretty sure ill never lend anything to anybody ever again. Anybody has similar stuff happen to them?
Well, yeah.
Many of us "older gamers" from the 70's and 80's dealt with the "Satanic Panic". It was a very real event that cost many of us our books and dice. I know it did me. I had to hide anything new in players' lockers because anything I brought home would be discovered and destroyed.
It was crazy. That a game could create such hysteria. FKN Pat Robertson.
So, I admire the resilence of older gamers since I know what they had to endure, some more than others of course. Some of the people playing tabletop roleplaying games had to defy their family in order to defend their ability to engage the hobby.
It's funny. SJWs talk about boomer neckbeards gatekeeping the hobby, but those old gamers had to fight their own battles to keep D&D vibrant in their towns. No one was saying football or baseball or basketball or video games or board games were EVIL. If you were playing D&D you might as well be selling crack cocaine. Same villification.
SJWs are just over-entitled jerks with no concept of what it took to get the hobby to this point. They should be thanking the older gamers, but you know what? Fuck older gamers. Fuck their collective rpg experience. This mentality is what will eventually paralyze WotC.
