Once Hollywood actors and eventually the Hollywood machine get involved, the woke/SJW/flavor of the week agenda will be in full force.
...
This is a good thing.
They will destroy it's relative popularity before it can take a foothold with normies.
People are starting to reject the nonsense. Pedowood has been taking it in the shorts for years, and crying about "toxic fans" when their woke movies don't do well...
The problem is that all the media companies are converged, and have access to tons of cash through their respective megacorps.
It will take a long time before they really start to feel the pinch. And they will have to go bankrupt or damn near before they change their woke ways.
It's gonna be a long ride. Stock up on popcorn...
Good, the best thing that can happen to the hobby is for people to realize WotC/DnD are not the hobby....
I tend to agree, but this is a slow process as D&D has no prominent non d20 system competitors.
The second best thing that can happen to the hobby is for Woke of the Coast/Paizo/Stupid Hat/etc to crash and burn. Only the unwoke compaqnies will remain, and the OSR because it's decentralized.
Gamers are very IP loyal, and in spite of wokeness they are loathe to leave their beloved IP behind.
I think Baizuo will gradually fade, they will keep going to the complex system side of things with their D&D clone and eventually drive new players away like Gurps/Hero. This process will accelerate if a company makes a game that can take the number 2 RPG spot from them.
Stupid Hat is literally based around 2-3 designers making games that they publish. Once those guys creativity dries up they will fade.
WOTC/D&D... They have Magic money to cover for all kinds of nonsense. Buckle up Kids, they will do what they want for a long time.
At this point it will have to take an exceptional series of own goals by WOTC
(worse than 4e) for D&D to be dethroned as the #1 RPG.
