SPECIAL NOTICE
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.

I'm amused by stupidity but this is too much even for me

Back to the OP. 

While I'm no fan of woke-ism or their arguments for sanitized games with no mention of hardcore crimes, I do recognize their right to do so. 

Their table, their rules. 

That is why that post is so baffling.  If you want a game to have Greek Gods who have strong morals, just do it.  It's not even hard.  It's all make believe, right?

But, the core tenet is your table, your rules. 

I just won't ask to play in that game of touchy-feely because I want horrible crimes to happen so we have something to do. 
I'm glad for you if you like the top selling game of the genre.  Me, I like the road less travelled, and will be the player asking we try a game you've never heard of.

On the contrary, the fact it isn't is the problem.

The entire purpose of that post was to impose their standards on others, all while engaging in the very same problematic behavior they were calling out. Folks like this demand games be changed to suit them, all while claiming others can always ignore the parts they don't like. They're inherently narcissistic and profoundly hypocritical. And I've seen what happens when a community tolerates such behavior.

*BOOM*! Damn right, Anon Adderlan!

It never occurs to these morons that *they* can ignore whatever books they don't like or are "offended" by--and play however they want at their tables.

No, no. They *need* to reach out and scream, and force everyone else to change their games to suit *them*. It is arrogant, insulting, and terrible in every way.

And these kinds of morons wonder why there is so many angry people? *Laughing* They keep stacking up straws, and wonder why they get ferocious blowback from this or that. Whaa. It is because people are absolutely sick and tired of all of this thought policing and tyrant-mommy BS in every book, in every game, in every hobby.

Ultimately, these morons need to be screamed at, shamed, and jacked hard. They need to be driven into the sewer, or the basement, or whatever crag they crawled out of, and forced back there. They need to be mocked, and savagely reminded that they are the evil, psychotic, mommy-slave, and they are not welcome. THEY need to stay in the margins and shadows, and leave everyone else alone.

Semper Fidelis,
