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.

If you want your game judged on its quality then maybe try not being a garbage human being?

I thought a place like this would focus on the quality of the game, not the purported politics of the creator.  Otherwise you're participating in 'cancel culture'.

If something is wrong, it doesn't stop being wrong because you want to do it, too.

Precisely the point. This is just cancel culture but less left-leaning. Take it for what it is.

This stopped being a debate long ago.  Conservative gamers are being black listed, having their lives destroyed, and are even being openly attacked physically, much to the cheers of the Woke.

We are still taking the moral high ground by refusing to buy their products, and to try to participate in their gatherings (where they don’t want us anyway).  Leaving someone alone is not an attack.

Greetings!

Give me a fucking break! *WE'RE* participating in CANCEL CULTURE???

Who the fuck started all of this bullshit? The goddamned LEFTIST CUNTS.

So, the cock-sucking Marxists can choke on it. Too bad if they don't like "Cancel Culture". Normal people have a right to defend themselves, and express themselves.

Roll all these whiny Marxist fuckers in glass. RUIN them. Don't buy from them. MOCK them relentlessly, and make them cry and feel *Unsafe*!! Whaa! Whaa! EXCLUDE them. Don't coddle them, or tolerate them. Kick them to the fucking curb at every opportunity.

They wanted war. They thought they can brow beat and intimidate and "Cancel" whoever they want.

Let them burn in the napalm of harsh reality.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Amen!

I’m not giving my money to a bunch of leftists who would kill me if they could, so that they can use that money to spread lies and propaganda, and to terrorize and intimidate their ideological opponents. I consider it to be a moral imperative to boycott these leftist companies if we are at all able - not just the RPG companies but Hollywood, Disney, Nike, all of the big corporations which are using their wealth and power to push a radical hateful agenda.

As you say, they started this. They don’t want us to have any entertainment that is free of their propaganda, they dox people and get them fired for disagreeing with their crazy ideology. So I will oblige them and not give them a cent of my money. So I’m very happy to see a list like this so I can know what companies to avoid. Maybe at some point in the past we could have ignored the ideology of the people who make our RPGs but today we’re way past that and that was their choice, not ours.

What the fuck is this thread?

Are you children in kindergarten? "But Miss, Miss! He started it!" Do you need me to give you all a slap and send you to naptime without a snack?

If it's good, buy it, read it, and use it. If it's not, don't. I don't care if it was written by Hitler, Stalin, or Areola Dangerhair.

In the words of the great Jesse Ventura, "you're all a bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here." Goddamn but I am embarrassed at my fellow gamers. No cheetos for you, and I'm going to need to see every dice roll, you cheating bastards.

When these creators tell me if I believe this, or vote that way, or belong to this group, they don't want my business, what would you propose I do?

I like all kinds of games.  OSR, 5e, hippy story games, and all kinds in between.  Some of the people on the "bad" lists make stuff I like.  I'm grown-up enough to handle people having different opinions from me.  But if a creator insists on making my decision political (looking at you Evil Hat), I guess I will.  I'm not cancelling anyone.  I'm doing what they asked.

My exposure to woke in RPGs has been exclusive to TBP.  I was so disgusted by it I joined this shitshow   ;D   So I’m curious, what publishers have been guilty of “radical left”, “cancel culture”, ect?   And what have they said/done?   For my info only because I’m not the type gives enough of a fuck to go on Twitter and see what the guy/gal who wrote some part of my game book thinks.

I saw the list.  With a few exceptions most of those in red are either woke pandering, virtue signaling or just plain stating their ideology.  I want the juicy “radical left destroying” stories.

Kobold Press seems to be OK. I haven't seen anything woke or crazy from them or their authors

Yeah, KP stuff all seems pretty normal to me. Wokesters criticised Tome of Beasts for having too many seductress type monsters. They're not at all Edgelordy either though; just a very meat & potatoes company that do decent quality products with high production value. Pretty much Paizo ca 2007.

unless someone else has seen something

The Kobold Guide to Gamemastering harps about white males checking their privilege at the gaming table.  They also pretty much say you're a bigot if you think that transmen or transwomen are "in any way undesirable or abnormal".

Kobold = Woke

That sounds pretty bad. Never seen anything like it in their actual adventures though.

If something is wrong, it doesn't stop being wrong because you want to do it, too.

  Overt politicization will contribute to the (lack) of quality of a game.  There is no purported politics, they are often overt, that list I can not speak to, but someone like Crawford is loud and proud. 
  You put cancel culture in quotes as if it is not a real thing.  Not buying things from people who overtly hate you is NOT cancel culture.  Trying to end someone's career or any position in public life is.  If you are going to use words, understand them first IMO.
