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.

Guy who posts about Pinnacle now "calls Pinnacle out" for "racism".

Here is his YouTube rant. He is a long time Savage Worlds poster, most of his videos are on the mechanics. In this video he sanctimoniosly "calls out" Pinnacle for callings Asian people......Asian. For some reason to this individual the word "Asian" is racist. Some people have said if you watch the video he isn't really saying that. Yet he clearly is. It kind of seems like he wants to join the crowd picking on WotC, but he doesn't have the confidence to do that so he came up with this gem. Interesting,  if irrational.

He screams soy.  The video is pathetic and the true reason behind it is him having a personal axe to grind with Pinnacle over licensing issues and having to pay for the license.  So in retaliation, he is trying to sic the SJWs on them.

I guess my main problem is his manner and ego. He is "schooling" Pinnacle. "Bruja is Mexican for witch, we all know that, but because the skin is darker.....etc". Whoa, Billy. Bruja is SPANISH for witch, actually,  not MEXICAN. Many Spaniards are pale (and some Mexicans still, too), therefore Mexican is just an adjective in this case, not a racial slur. That bit alone makes the skin crawl.

I saw this thread this morning and generally thought it was another tempest in a teapot. But this guy being disgruntled with the licensing system Pinnacle uses? Tough cow chips! This guy comes off as a whiney baby who couldn't bully them into getting his way.

In other words: It's a temper tantrum from someone who has an overgrown sense of entitlement.

Nothing to see here. Just move along and let this guy fade away into obscurity.

An egotistical self appointed expert with a Youtube channel and no fucking clue what he is talking about?  This must be a first.

I heartily agree. And this is what really irks me. There is blatant racism, sexism, etc. out there, we all know it. Call it out, that is playing fair. This guy alleges racism because it is all he has because he didn't get his way over licensing.  So he goes full manchild. I also hope he drops off the radar.

As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread mentioned. Mexican isn't a race. It's a nationality. This guy couldn't even get something so basic right. So who knows what quality the product he was trying to produce would end up being like? And more than likely? It wouldn't have passed Pinnacle's quality control measures they have in place for licensed books.

Stick a fork in him! He's done!

Oh, and there's all this stuff going on behind the scenes.  I won't tell you about that or show any proof, but I thought it was wrong.  So did all these people who work for me that you've never seen or heard from.

If I use 'problematic', 'toxic', and 'community' often enough, you'll just know they're all the Wrong Kind of People (tm).

And this evil, totally optional, license.  With easy rules to follow to get a little bit of free publicity at no cost.  That's terrible.  Not to mention that if you make money from their stuff, they want to be PAID for it!

FYI, turning the comments off because I can't possibly be wrong.

A lot of people think that European is a race so it is no surprise about Mexicans.

Back when Shane announced the removal of the CSA on Facebook the only person to object was also the only black dude participating in the discussion, and they were dismissed with a 'thank you for your feedback'. So they're not exactly wrong regarding Pinnacle's stance on race. However it looks like they're just using this as a way to have at Pinnacle for other reasons, and to the surprise of no one they've disabled the comments.

Oh man nobody show them The Asians Represent Podcast.
