It's kinda unnerving how taking the middle ground in social viewpoints is getting harder to do with this brewing global shitstorm between the Far Right and the Ultra Left.
You would think a hobby like this would be almost immune like it used to be, but it is starting to become a major platform for both sides.
I am fortunate to have my own gaming group which is isolated from all this.
I used to want to be more part of the wider rpg hobby, but I'm starting to think I dodged a bullet by not jumping into the organised play/convention scene
They must be like walking on coals now, with 'X' cards and such. Soon all the loose GMs won't be running convention play, and it will just be a straight jacket affair in terms of creativity
