Hmm, you are right and on the other hand the rating system only goes up to green.

Calling Alexander Macris apolitical seems a stretch. He wrote at least two articles supporting Trump's demonstrably baseless allegations of Fraud and discussing ways that the former President could have seized power despite having lost the election.

Correction: He's written way more than two articles about it, apparently.

Alex is not apolitical, but I'd argue that his gaming is apolitical. I've not seen him try to use a political litmus test for being in the gaming community. Wanting to shun someone because of their politics outside of gaming?

No, he's never asked for litmus tests.

But the commie just wants to keep pretending like it is about democrat vs republican/left vs right.

The issue is preaching in your games, advocating for shuning/deplatforming/cancelling/or worst for those who don't follow your political views or opposse them.

And Alex has NEVER done any of those while the people in the red list have. Which is why Myfarog and it's author are there with the other socialists.

There started to prune off the more irrelevant entries as well as games whose basic premise is to be political or racist like Coyote and Crow have been removed. Also added an FAQ of the things that have all actually been said or asked.

Pretty sure john wick wanted me to come try and fight him at gencon or something. Saw that video, fucking weirdo. Is it normal for people to try and pick fights with people they know nothing about? I could be like an axe murderer or something and by the look of him, i'm not sure hes ever been in a fight in his life. Reminds me of a song my wife really likes called Remedy by TOOL.

John Wick if you are reading this I have no intention or desire to fight you or your geriatric friends. To me, you are nobody. A stranger, a name I've seen in passing and completely irrelevant in my life. Anyway enjoy gencon, i'm not going to waste any more time on you than it took to write this. I hope you provide lots of nostalgia to those who know you for what you used to be.

Just saw John Wick's video on this list, entitled "Enemies". As someone who has played his games quite a bit, I think your response is entirely on point. I mean, he came up with calling it an "enemies" list, then seems sour that he's not on it, then challenges you to come and call him enemy (something you never did) to his face. Makes me wonder about the mental maturity of John Wick, to be honest.

Now you have me thinking... what's higher than green?

Ultraviolet. But if you can't see it, you must not have the clearance level.

I kind of liked tenbones idea of Booger Green

Has anyone ever created a similar color-coded spectrum of blogs?

Do those blogs sell products?

Ruprecht · September 27, 2021, 09:03:28 AM

No, thus it would be a different list.

See, HD got to the point (which you may have missed). This list was about informing (those who care) about products that consumers are likely to regret purchasing, either because of the political content pushed into the products, or because of the hatefulness of the company towards some segment of its consumers. Blogs do not cost anything to read, and therefore impose no risk comparable as buying an RPG. They are normally upfront about their world-views (that's pretty much their reason for existing). So such a list does not serve anywhere near the same purpose. You can, obviously, create such a list if you like. But I (and I believe many others) would probably not find it useful.

Ruprecht · September 27, 2021, 08:42:29 PM

I understood, I just thought there are a lot blogs out there, probably a ton I've never run across, and a list of which pontificate and which do not would be useful if one existed.

Based on some Twitter threads that other SJWs have done about him recently, it seems he's trying to get back in the left's good graces after they turned on him. It likely won't work.

Bootlickers always gotta bootlick. This doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Although it makes me think of a meme with Steve Buscemi. 'How do you do, fellow SJWs?' LOL.

Frankly, I wouldn't call him enemy. I think it's sufficient to call him an asshole, then knock off for beers at the Winchester and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

I loved how he was like "i made an rpg with no white people" probably my favorite part. Isn't that the lefty equivalent of "i have a black friend so it's okay" or is that more cultural appropriation. Lets as Daniel Kwan, he seems to be the resident expert on everything asian, despite being canadian.

Edit: I forgot what it's called but it's when you make an accusation you wish were true, and even if it's not you have put the idea in peoples heads by your accusation.
