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.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Enjoy.

Would you mind unpacking that one for us so that we can understand your position better.
I'll leave that undefended as a self-evident observation.

It's not self evident, it's dumb ass statement that should earn you copious ridicule.

Hey there, Jeff!

Yeah, the OSR's overlap with the "Dreaded ALT-Right"...LOL.

You just know that he drinks the Kool-Aid, huh? ;D

I'm just actually a bit surprised this is the first time I've seen his Jewishness mentioned by a hater, given the degree of overlap between OSR and alt-right.

Ya, it's almost like the OSR isn't actually full of racists.  Who knew?

Honestly, it's only a matter of time before Pundit banhammers him for being a retard.

Congratulations, you are an utter moron, and a prime candidate for the ignore list with your stupid buddy Mistwell. The Pundit utterly despises Zak and he will be gone before I will, like you two little nobodies.

Yeah, I got that Libramarian is suggesting that the OSR is full of alt-rights and therefore racists, but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt here.  My mistake.

Any significant group of people are going to have some members that are bigots. The OSR has some, but I guarantee you so do the other sectors that of society. I have a sister who's very Woke, is all on board with "The Future is Female", "Transwomen are Women", BLM, BDS, etc, and she is virulently anti-Semitic. Similar to yabaziou, at the most tenuous connection to the Jewish community like a stark raving mad lunatic she'll start going on about Jewish conspiracies, and how they're behind many of the wars (doesn't matter that the wars are on different continents than where Israel is involved, it's somehow in her mind the Jews pushing the wars) in the world to control it, etc.

When someone like Libramarian tries to frame the existence of racists/anti-Semites into a particular group that they oppose I think they're trying to ignore the stink in their own house.

Given the degree of over lap between the OSR and alt-right it does not surprise me that you have never seen anyone bring up his Jewishness.

Yeah, I'd generally expect the left to be antisemetic not the right.  It goes with the anti business anti capitalism point of view.  Also, the right generally supports Israel and the left generally doesn't.

Regardless, my 'tolerance' of Zak, as you put it, has absolutely nothing to do with why you decided to bring Jews into the discussion here. That's on you, and you have yet to explain why you decided to do so. To bring up Jews in a discussion that has nothing to do with Jews seems anti-Semitic. No, I don't care if you had parents who helped Jews during WWII. You don't get credit for their good deeds.

I suspect you respond to me with non-sequiturs because you had no valid reasons for bringing Jews into this discussion. You're trying to avoid taking responsibility for your anti-Semitic rant about "Jew cards" because there is no reason Jews should have been a topic of this discussion.

So, one more time, yabaziou, why did you use the term 'Jew card' in this discussion, and how does that matter to this discussion?
Well, Zak is a Jew...whose behavior and alleged behavior does (coincidentally) exemplify many anti-Semitic canards.

Not to suggest that these stereotypes are less than abhorrent or have any general validity.

I'm just actually a bit surprised this is the first time I've seen his Jewishness mentioned by a hater, given the degree of overlap between OSR and alt-right.

Fuck me ! Zak has weaponized his jew identity (he is not a Jew since his mother is not and I am pretty he is a nihilist anarchist, so here goes his excuse of hating me makes you anti-Semitic) because he is a douchebag who is full of hubris and contempt for his lesser (read everybody who cannot help to get money or sex).

The Alt-Right phenomenon barely exists in France and I am sadly surprised by the fact that everybody is not using the opportunity of Zak's misfortune to give him hell for his atrocious behavior before the whole Mandy debacle.

And having no fuck to give is right thing to do since he had, at numerous occasions, said he does not give a thing about people's feelings, wellbeing and so on and so forth.

Yabaziou, where and how has Zak "weaponized" his Jewish identity? I haven't seen it in this thread, and I don't recall seeing it elsewhere. I don't follow Zak specifically as a subject matter, but come across him on rpg boards so I might have missed something. From what I see you've brought in the topic of Jews into this thread from practically nowhere, and which comes across as lunatic raving.

I don't know that Zak is or isn't Jewish. I've not seen him speak to that question himself. I've only seen random people on the internet make that claim, which leaves me still not knowing if Zak is Jewish. I don't care whether or not Zak is Jewish, but I do care when I see someone start ranting about Jews for apparently no valid justification (I'm not sure what a valid justification would be.) on a forum I use. I don't think anyone other than Zak can say whether or not he is Jewish, despite the claim you made about his mother. Making claims about someone else's mother seems a bit creepy. Do you know Zak's family well enough personally to make such a claim? Nor do I think that's a question he should have to answer to the world on the internet.

Zak may be a jerk, but why are we obligated to use this as an opportunity to give him hell due to statements by Mandy that he treated her horribly? Divorces can be horribly messy affairs, and there is only a small group of people who were actually witnesses to what was going on, whatever that was. It seems reasonable (and nothing you should be surprised by) that many people have decided to not devote time and energy to the strife between Zak and Mandy. Some may be following this very thread because it is a view into how the law has been used in regards to libel, slander, defamation, etc. in various countries. When I first heard about these suits I gave them almost no chance of being successful, but he's won at least one, and the others seem to be still progressing without being thrown out yet.

Pretty much. The 'alt-right' moniker is much like 'racist' or in an earlier day and age, 'witch'. Hang it on someone you don't like to damage them.

You have single handedly brought almost this entire message board to the defense of Zak, despite many here not being particularly fond of him, with your idiotic anti-semitic insane ranting. Congratulations, you've done the near impossible in bringing the message board together.

I am not friends with Zak personally and I don't know him personal, but I've followed his posts here and elsewhere for at least a decade. And I have not one time ever seen him mention his religion, his heritage, his culture, or anything relating to Judaism. For you to bring it up, and in the context of you trying to bash him, makes it pretty damn clear you're the bigot in the room. Maybe ask yourself why you thought that issue was relevant to this discussion?
