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.

Much like the path of those that crusade against it, right?

Well, I'm not the one who decided everything had to be political, but everything is political. If we want to go back to the world where we don't have to be political all the time, someone or something has to die. Maybe that's a brand like Bud Lite, maybe it's a subsidiary like Anheuser-Busch, maybe it's a company like InBev, or maybe it's people.

I don't know what it's going to take, but sitting around saying, "Can't we just lay off the politics?" hasn't worked. Personally, I'd rather metaphorically burn down a few woke companies than give Seattle the old Sherman.

Ahhh, the old "two sides of the same coin" argument?  What a smooth-brain.  So, someone who fights vehemently against racism is exactly the same as someone who fights vehemently for racism?  Someone who despises every murder is the same as someone who advocates for it?  That's your "two sides" argument for you.

I disagree with just about everything you wrote there, except the part where you say you don't know what it will take. I don't know either, but when it comes to gaming, I'm not going to assume it requires inflicting deaths.

You do you, boo. Just remember, when it becomes obvious to you that it's you and a few other unhinged loonies against the world--you picked the teams.

Ah, so it's just a game to you then? I see it as a series of threads that connect us and disconnect to and from what we say, what we do, and what we believe. And since when do numbers matter? They're 1% for a reason.

My team's got all the guns and children.  If the key to victory is boxed wine, cats, and groomers, well, your side might have a chance...

Always the way the one who instigated the whole thing goes after already de-railing the thread.  But, yes: this is for discussion for woke/fascist (synonyms) companies, not a troll war.  The pinned sister post to this one is for submitting additions or changes to the list.

So Mussolini is woke now?

Are there many RPG companies pushing a nationalist, authoritarian, neo-Romantic, militant, modernist, Fordist, and de-individualized agenda? Help me understand how you are using those words.

They don't have to be EXACTLY the same to be compared with each other and share things in common.  And, yes, woke RPG companies do push authoritarian militant de-individualized agendas.   Try disagreeing with them and their fans publicly on socio-political topics as an experiment and you'll find out just how much.

On a scale of 1 to 10 your idiocy rating should be around 300....
Read some history book (written by a real historian and not some american "conservative" with a barely functional frontal lobe) before spouting this crap.
Gentile was, and always has been, a hardcore right winger. 
I'm here to talk about RPGs, so if you want to talk about storygames talk with someone else.
