Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Did r/osr just go woke?

Treat others with respect, don't harass other people, and--especially--your own status in a mentioned group doesn't grant special privileges, should not be objectionable and doesn't seem especially woke to me.

I was starting to get concerned it was just, you know, insufficiently committed to Diversity, what with the rainbow logo and all.

Well that's a relief!
Now with a Zine!

1) It's Reddit, and Reddit is generally very socially left.

2) The basic message is 'be excellent to each other' and 'the rules apply to everyone'.  The second clause is relatively non-woke, actually.

This ain't new to Reddit, but from the comments I gathered that this is linked to Pundit's appearance at Dollipop Livestream on Gender in RPGs recently.

Apparently people made some comments discussing that video that may have been directed at people's identity. I'm guessing they crapped on Dollipop and Taylor, cuz that's what SJWs do whenever women or minorities get uppity and start thinking for themselves.

Reading the reddit thread, it's the usual back-patting over being "diverse" and "against harassment", but only for their little clique of Social Justice Nitwits.
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.

The basic message is always mild and generally acceptable.

And then they call you a fascist for talking out of turn.

The message, taken literally, is a good message at its core. We'll know if it's woke if the moderators start to act opposite these words and start imposing more restrictions and banning people for speaking their minds.

That's because Communists hate Fascists, despite their apparent authoritarian similarities.

This is actually just another brick in the wall...

They actively censor any mention of Zak (it has its own rule), they censored Raggi and LOTFP only mildly backing off after outrage from the members of the sub, and they routinely forget their "everybody deserves respect" when ACKS is mentioned and the usual suspects lose their mind.

/r/OSR has been a woke shit hole for a while. They have a hate boner for Autarch, they gobbled the Zack/Mandy drama up like candy, and they suck off every lefty OSR designer that comes up. Fuck'em.

Quote from: Reddit OSR modPlease remember that respectful arguments and disagreement are NOT harassment. It may feel like it, and I encourage you to reach out to the mods if you think you're being harassed in any sense. But if people are arguing with you, please consider that it may NOT be because of your status, but because your opinion needs reevaluation.

That's a rather strange way to Do Woke. It actually sounds anti-Woke.

Give it a year and the OSR will have been co-opted even more that it already has.

Anyone who thought this would never happen was deluding themselves. Any bastion of resistance must be infiltrated and converted to the cult.

The OSR is decentralized. You can co-op reddit all you want, the rest of the OSR will just shrug and go on their merry way.
