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.

I used to read her blog. It was interesting to see a different perspective on D&D, with occasional articles showing off her coloring or the like. Then the occasional articles were like the one above, instead of coloring. After a short while every article was frothing social justice, so I stopped going.

Hard to imagine being that upset over the art in a 40 year old book.

Someone once opined that leftists have a fetish for ugliness.

I'm not entirely sold on that line of thought, but I gotta admit, there does seem to be a bit of evidence in that direction.

I think the cause and effect runs the other way.  A person that is only ugly on the surface can be transformed in the right circumstances.  You see the beauty underneath and it changes the way you see the surface.  Well, the same thing works in reverse when the ugly runs down into the core. No matter the appeal of the surface, sooner or later the ugly will out. 

You see that directly in their view of games.  Because they project all the time, the push their own ugliness onto anything they encounter.  Their views of games really does say more about the speaker than about the game.

Ah, you're invoking Roald Dahl's wisdom on beauty and ugliness.



Which is not to say you're wrong, quite the opposite.

WoTC's page https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/stuffoflegends - sadly Shanna Malcolm, the heroic player concerned, is demurely covered for her publicity pic. Here's one of her scandalising the SJWs with a hint of cleavage https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ERb4BXkVUAImEp4.jpg

I wonder if they find the player's real world tiddies to be purile and gross as well? I read some comments on twitter where the puppet's fabric, fake, not real, breasts were, and I kid you not, triggering male to female transexuals. They were saying a puppet's fabric boobs made their body dysmorphia worse and therefore shouldn't be allowed. I truly wonder what real, live boobs of large size do to them... do they need to be hospitalized for the trauma? Is my ex a walking weapon of oppression and harm for being a woman with natural H cups?

God. While I have empathy for people who suffer from body dysphoria, the alchemy of identity politics and trangender issues is one of the most toxic things I have ever seen.

I agree whole heartedly. Just today I saw how the NHS in the UK can no long call breast feeding "breastfeeding" because it's traumatic to transgendered parents. They can no longer use terms like mother and father, as well as pregnant mother/woman. Its absolutely insane.

That's not real...if it is, then we've truly entered Clown World.

It's real. I should have kept the link. It was so awfully cringey that I had to assume they were either insane or trolling.

See, this right here means they're playing correctly.

And if that's not problematic enough, the Kuo-toa character is called Slippy Richardson. (Slippy Dickson to his friends.) He spends most of the first session naked and trying to cover some goblins with his skin poison - while Ari and the pirate character "double team" another goblin. I can see why it sent the social justice crowd doolally.

Who hasn't had a game like that at one point though? Half the games as  teenager were like that and worse, but I can't help but draw the correlation that as teens we were new to role playing and so are the muppet crew. Still, as long as everyone's having fun...

My only real reaction is that it's hilarious seeing huge boobs on what looks to be a Fraggle. It made me laugh a little, and nobody died, so I'm cool with it. I remember back when Shanna Malcolm first got famous on YouTube as one of the friends Shane Dawson would regularly hang out with at the time. And we all know what happened to him.   :P  I find it funny that her character looks like one of the Fraggles, who, much like Shanna herself, got a lot of help from a trash heap.  ;)

Also, between Shanna, Brandon, and Lisa . . . how had I not heard about this yet? Almost makes me want to get YouTube famous myself so I can get an invite. Almost.

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.
And yet it's these people with no grasp on conceivable reality that screech the loudest and get the woke followers enough to drive change in weak companies.

Did anyone see WotC official apology last week?  I copied it (with commentary) on my blog: https://vengersatanis.blogspot.com/2021/02/wotc-apology-for-stuff-of-legends.html

NEVER FORGET! TIDDY GATE 2021!
