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.

Reaper maintained a pro BLM statement on their latest news section of their front page as recently as June 2021.



Supports "diversity".
Supports "Black lives".
Condemns "racism".

These people are confused, and it makes me wonder what this "racism" being condemned actually means to them.

I don't think is anyone arguing that these companies should be censored. We're just arguing people should get to see an easy list of which companies despise them and everything they like or stand for and would be happy to see us all dead.
This statement could easily be taken from any proto-wokester's social media from a few years ago. The spirit is the same: damning people for Wrongthink.

No, damning people for Wrongthink is very different from damning people for damning people for Wrongthink.
Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."

Wrong, we're damning people for their actions, for their support of murderous movements, of racist and sexist ideologies, for giving them aid and cover.

Another important difference: We're not trying to get them destroyed, we're just choosing not to buy from people that hate us.

You might think that buying from the invading army isn't relevant and you'd be wrong.

This is getting good.  Who’s getting murdered?   When you say racist/sexist…you’re talking about white dudes?

Who’s getting murdered? Dunno, you might wanyt to check how many people were murdered, raped and generally abused in the CHAZ/CHOP, how many were murders or attempet murders has Antifart commited. Pay attention, a murderous movent doesn't stop being murderous because they are inneficient.

When you say racist/sexist…you’re talking about white dudes? Are you on the camp of those who think white people are the only ones capable of being racist? If so is it genetic? What makes them morraly inferior?

No, I Mean ideologies that are currently pushing for droping MLK's dream and the progress made thanks to it. Those pushing for racial segregation (who are of the same party that established it and fought to preserve it), those pushing for hiring based on race/sex, for laws that DO take in account those immutable characteristics. Those who want to allow the government to discriminate based on race/sex.

Correct, do you think this applies here?

I mean the agressor wouldn't be able to garner economical support from those who think that punching hambly was a perfectly reasonable response to his criticism of Saint Fraudnita Shekelsian?

My gut tells me he could have gotten a substantial ammount for legal fees and probably even a probono lawyer to deffend him for punching A natzee.

After all Hambly isn't Disney.

Saint Fraudnita Shekelsian?

I don't think Pundit likes anti-Semitic tropes.
And Sarkesian's ethnicity is generic men-with-gold-chains, not Jewish afaict.

Except it's not being used as one, since it's being used for a non-Jew female fraudster. She's a Canadian fraudster.

I don't really care.  I've just seen enough people who assume that settling out of court is tantamount to an admission of guilt that I thought it was worth bringing up on principle.

Woke == Anti-semite
Proof: https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/08/14/woke-anti-semitism/amp/

BLM == Black Liberation Movement
Proof: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/23/blm-uk-gains-legal-status-with-renaming-as-black-liberation-movement-uk

The Weathermen and BLM joined forces back in the late 60s early 70s and promoted killing children, the white 'man', and raping women. Once both groups had come under the FBI's thumb, BLM then became part and parcel of louis farrakhan's group Nation Of Islam, of which OBAMA was a member of. The group is Anti-semetic.
Proof: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/louis-farrakhan

Therefore, those here who are 'WOKE', as well as elsewhere, ARE TRAITOROUS MURDERERS HELLBENT ON EXTERMINATION OF JEWS, CHRISTIANS, et. al.
These are them who call EVIL = GOOD, AND GOOD = EVIL.  Thus they are the armies of ANTI-CHRIST!
That's the jist of it.

It's an Armenian name. 

But that's not always useful into.
I have a French Swiss surname, am not adopted or else my parents were amazing liars, and I'm 75% mongrelized german toss-out and 12.25% scotch irish trash and the other 12.5% is a mix of Jewish, Panamanian native, and other stuff.  Somehow I have olive skin, hazel eyes, and mouse brown hair going grey. Whatever. 'Let the genes dance about' I say. 250 years is a lot of time for them to jumble up so you can't match origin to result easily.

Shekels isn't always antisemitic lingo as it gets used a lot for social media and crowd funding panderers/grifters who are either flogging merch or seeking patrons for some "important work". Often it is paired with Ducats, Sovereigns, Marks, Florins, Doubloons, Crowns, Quid, Pesos, Denari, or other famous foreign or antiquated coin types. 

So I'm very willing to extend the benefit of the doubt when that's all I hear.

Yeah, I was joking re 'generic men with gold chains' - no one in the West cares if you're Armenian, Azeri, Azerbaijani; almost no one cares if you're secular Iranian.

As a bad man said,
"Who remembers the Armenians?"

Nope, they're just focused on attacking christianity. Maybe some do hate jews and muslims, but they're willing to ally with them to displace christianity.

Do your own research.  Start with Jeremy Hambly getting assaulted at Gencon.

Do you mean the Quartering guy?  I remember he was saying some freak assaulted him and he ended up having to apologize and walk back the “he’s a nazi” talk.  Quartering guys claims the dude jumped out of a bush or something and smashed him.  I do wonder if that’s the whole story though.  Quartering guy comes off as a douche when he speaks.  I’m not condoning violence over words but sometimes people get their ass wooped for talking shit.

There was video of the incident. The guy in question came out of nowhere while Jeremy was eating at a restaurant outside of the convention area, and started attacking him with no provocation.

Gencon's response was to ban Jeremy for life from the convention.

Gencon's response was to ban Jeremy for life from the convention.
There was a LOT of speculation that someone in GenCon put Loter up to it, and it gave them an excuse to ban Hambly because 'he causes drama' or somesuch.

Even if you think Hambly is a moron, that doesn't give people an excuse to attack him. It's the same stupid argument used for 'punch Nazis!' -- because the definition of 'Nazi' seems to keep devolving.
