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.

Yeah the insane mentally ill offended by the character and twitters are sad to see the least and an embarrassment to the hobby. Children in people bodies I mean give me a break now fake puppets cause people to be more mentally ill. Fuck off and go see a mental health care specialist.

I thought the whole point of body dysmorphia was that it was about your own body, not the bodies of other people. This makes no sense whatsoever.
Yup. That is totally not how body dysphoria/dysmorphia works. Anorexia nervosa isn't triggered by other people, it's triggered by your own (damaged) self image.



That is, however, how victimhood works.

Well, I would call it 'narcissistic self-pity' but eh, I think we're on the same page here :)

Quote from: RPGPundit on February 04, 2021, 09:59:50 PMYeah, for anyone else curious, start by looking at the official Dungeons & Dragons twitter (not WoTC, Dungeons and Dragons as a brand), when they announce their sponsorship of the show, and see all the SJWs jump in with attacking D&D/WoTC for the large-boobed muppet.

I have a bad feeling WOTC will either

A: drop the show because its "problematic"
or
B: pressure the show to change the designs because it is "problematic"

Probably B as they can leverage pressure with money.

Wasn't the character created as a parody? Because the name and design definitely looks like a parody.

Who even takes that sort of stuff seriously anymore? I burst out laughing the moment I say her.

Could people just, like, let people play the game and quit ruining their fun?  Who CARES if her muppet has big mammaries?
PEACE!

Apparently, the answer is "No".
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.

Fortunately, those people have outed themselves on social media. All you need to do is avoid them like the plague.

So lockdowns and masking?

Either that or painting the doorways with lamb's blood, consult your physician for the best course of action.  :-)

I think Dave Chappelle said it best: "I support anyone's right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?"

The Moral (outrage) Guardians care. Aleena in BECMI having breasts sent them into outrage. Drow having breasts sent them into outrage. Dragonborn, double outrage! and so on ad nausium.

They tried to pull this with Isaac Asimov way back in TZ magazine and he told them to take out a loan and buy a clue. Just less politely. Then tossed more breasts in the magazine.

Hell we've had these types here on this fora going on about how we have to remove all these offensive things. "Think of the Children!" and "It is for your own good. You will thank us later!" and of course "So people will respect us!" And its ever these two battlecries on the banner of censorship. We see it periodically in the art and comic circles too and even board gaming has had sporatic popups of this and the BGG site covertly censors any game they deem "offensive".

Not breasts. It was the soft, flowing tabard!

Quote from: Sarah Dark MagicTo me, the purpose of the tabard is to soften her and to play cat and mouse with the viewer. The pose is opened up to give greater access to her inner thighs but the "money shot" is hidden behind the soft, flowing tabard.
