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.

Wouldn't it be transwomansplaining?

Nah, they wouldn't be that smart. They still think 'transphobia' is an actual word when it's not (trans is a prefix and phobia is a suffix and the word is missing its root) and something that exists which it doesn't (nobody is afraid of a transgender person).

  You might want to tell female MMA fighters that.

None of that is phobia... It's women who are pissed off and have the right to be pissed off.

Don't mistake phobia for what it's not. Language does matter. A phobia is an irrational, deep seeded psychological fear of something. No person is afraid of a transgender person like that.

What they (the LGBT woke) call transphobic is really, in their limited minded capacity that stands for their intellectual thought, is really sexism. But even that has been twisted in their little minds.

I could go into an entire diatribe of the psychological and neurological possibilities of why these people are acting the way they do and part of why i look at all of this from that perspective is because a few years ago I was one of those brainwashed little minds that fell for the rhetoric and political correctness bullshit and when I fully realized that back in 2017 I have been looking at myself and my past and asking how I fell for their crap. Which is what I've been doing for the last 4 years.

Needless to say, people like Jessica Price are what I would classify as clinically sociopathic and neurologically psychopathic.

Problem is, "transexuals" are not right in the head to begin with.

But it had to get here. The very same feminists who demanded to be allowed in male-only spaces are whining about "transexuals" being in their spaces- I received an Imprimus article about this, and my reply to that woman was not, shall we say, sympathetic.

The problem is also that this is forcing reality into feminist rhetoric. "Trans-women" are beating regular women in sporting events. Bruce Jenner was "Woman of the Year," which actually says that men are also better at being women than women!  :o

I'm 55. My profile won't record this. It's only right younger members know how old I am.

  Some of them are more than pissed, they are a little scared to fight a man, they know their actual face can break from some  of those shots.  I was joking in calling it a phobia, since that is an unreasonable fear.  However, a very real fear of the very real prospect of serious harm DOES exist with female MMA fighters about trans fighers.   They are not going to talk about it online, or in public, but you can rest 100 percent assured it is a pretty serious issue for a lot of them.   No matter where they are on the political spectrum.

Well the fired employee (Sara Marie) made a brief statement "Former Paizo Customer Service & Community Manager, Sara Marie, was fired for unknown reasons. Sara's Twitter account is private, but she made an announcement on Twitter. No allegations of wrongdoing by Paizo were made on the thread or subsequent ones so far. She has expressed love for former coworkers and the community. Sara has since stated she is upset "decade long allies for improving industry workplace standards are getting ripped into because a clout-chaser seized on another opportunity to drag themselves into someone else’s story," but is not providing additional details about her situation or any of the allegations."

I just wanted to say, not that all women are moms, but I always thought the female version of mansplaining was momsplaining, because its the kind of thing my mom would do.   I never really thought it was a "man only" thing.

"Mansplaing" doesn't exist.  It's just a bunch of people "ovary-acting"...

Statement from accused Nazi skull fucker, Erik Mona:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder2e/comments/pp0wxf/erik_monas_statement_on_the_occult_saint_germain/?utm_content=body&utm_medium=post_embed&utm_name=cde75f75b00c416bbeac03a4b90cd76b&utm_source=embedly&utm_term=pp0wxf

Erik Mona's Statement on the Occult, Saint Germain, Etc.
Real Life

It's been quite a week. For Paizo's official statement, please go here. This isn't that.

A recent Twitter thread critical of Paizo’s management called out three elements related to my interest in historical occultism as problematic from a company culture perspective, and I’d like to take a moment to respond to them, not as a company representative, but as me, Erik.

Specifically, these criticisms involve 1) A picture of the occult figure Saint Germain I once had on the wall in my office that offended some then-co-workers; 2) A tiny picture of a swastika I once accidentally posted to my personal Facebook amid a huge dump of occult images; and 3) Some creatures I wrote for a Pathfinder Bestiary that were inspired by Theosophy and Eastern mysticism.

Because my personal values do not align with racism AT ALL, and the accusations seem to suggest that I hold racist beliefs, I want to respond to these accusations personally.

    I have long been intrigued by the mythology of the allegedly immortal Comte de Saint Germain, a jewel thief, composer, spy, and all-around 18th Century weirdo. My research on this figure revealed Saint Germain’s use by a 1930s-era cult known as the I AM Activity, which promoted Saint Germain to the rank of Ascended Master. I found what I thought was a fun portrait of the guy from that cult and put him on my wall. I do not recall ever being told by any of my co-workers that they found the image problematic. Regardless, this illustration has not been on display for several years. I regret any offense that the image may have caused anyone, and I categorically apologize that I did not anticipate that it might make some people uncomfortable.

    A few years back I acquired an occult book from the turn of the century that included page after page filled with small occult symbols. I posted images of several pages from the book to my personal Facebook. Shortly thereafter, a friend pointed out that one of the symbols was a swastika (unfortunately very common in occult books of the age, as it had not yet achieved its 20th century infamy), something I had initially overlooked. I removed the image immediately upon it being noticed. Again, I regret that I posted it at all, but this was an honest mistake that was probably online for less than an hour total.

    I wrote some monsters in a Pathfinder Bestiary that were inspired by Theosophy, which some people found objectionable. As recounted in the accusation, Paizo’s editors clipped material they thought might be problematic, which is a testament to the skill and intelligence of Paizo’s editors, as protecting our manuscripts from unconscious bias is part of their jobs, and something they do very well.

To summarize: I am not aligned with racism of any kind. I stand strongly behind the values of diversity and inclusion. Fuck Nazis. Fuck them in the eye.

Huge error, never apologize to the woke mob.

Also this removes any interest I may have in any original not Baizuo published work by him. Because I'm not gonna give my hard earned pesos to a fucking Baizuo.

He did worse. He apologized on some topics, and tried to explain his rationale on others. This will be viewed as a "non-pology" by the woke, and groveling by the non-woke.
