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.

Or take a break from the internet.

On second thoughts, they are not as bad as I originally thought.

Stacy’s Twitter disappeared sometime early in 2020. When I checked on the Contessa.Rocks website I get a message that the website has expired. It’s ironic that during a time when online gaming is in more demand than ever due to a pandemic an organization that started as an online convention has gone defunct.

The best case scenario I can think of is that Stacy realized that her interaction with social media and the sjw crusade was becoming damaging to her mental health, so she voluntarily withdrew for her own sake. If that’s the case I do wish her the best of luck in getting better.

And nothing of value was lost o that day.

Contessa is women GMs running games at online events with a few other side projects.  It generally worked out relatively well and was not a rabid feminist thing (guys were quite welcome to sign up and play.)  Over all, I liked the crew and thought that they were pretty level headed about it.  Think of it as a spotlight and not a firebrand.

Except for the part of men are only allowed as players never DM/GM... Something you never see reversed anywhere.

I sincerely hope that they (because it is the pronom that they want to use and even if I do not understand why or even care since I am French and American gender politics mean little to me, but it is their wish and it does not bother so) took some time off the internet to resolve the many issues that plague them, especially surviving breast cancer (my father died from cancer so I am a big softy on the subject).

Honestly, women are women’s worst enemies and the petty feud between SWJ churches is both entertaining and pitiful.

I wish that women who have a sincere belief in improving their lot in our hobby will rise from the ashes of Countessa but I will not hold my breath to watch happens ...

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Women are utterly vicious to women. Crazy levels of hate and undermining of even their so-called friends! When I was teaching, I even saw the nastiness in their pre-teen interactions (and their willingness to really emotionally harm the weakest links), and as they get older, let's just say high school never ends.

I wish that women who have a sincere belief in improving their lot in our hobby will rise from the ashes of Countessa but I will not hold my breath to watch happens ...

There's always room for new grifters!

As long as a diligent SJW smells a buck to be made and weaklings to bow to them, we'll keep getting a steady stream of Stacys into the hobby.

The only reason why people were surprised that she went nuts, is because it happened before a lot of people realized what was really going down on the far left. If it happened today, and some feminist would say that they are launching a project that is open only to women, I'd put money on that she will reveal herself to be a raving bitch soon enough. It's sort of in the cards from the start.

Exactly, back then those of us who were able to smell the shit were happily labeled as Istophobes and even people that today wouldn't believed it.

And I've been speaking against them since before the whole Atheism+ debacle.

Do you think they can cast charm and Friends spells? I can't honestly see how else people couldn't see thru their BS.

Shame how this all went down.

SJWs think they are immune to mental illness.

On the contrary, they wear it as a badge of honor and demand others account for it.

Is that defamation (or whatever suit) still going forward against her? If so, she's probably be advised to stay of social media...

Quite possibly.

I think there were at least 2, maybe 3 lawsuits against her.  I believe there was 1 regarding tortious interference by Frog God Games in addition to the defamation 1 by Zak.

Really did a number on those bridges, didn't they.

This is very true and worrisome since they seem to no action to cure theirs mental ailments and use them as a shield to flee any discussion or repercussion for theirs nefarious actions ... 😱

Seeing both of these sociopaths vanish is a good thing. Unfortunately parasites will tend to return to feed on the host sooner or later.

I once dated them years ago and met their roommate at the time (pre-marriage). Regrettably I gave a pass to to many red flags to count. Regrettably I can confirm their confrontational nature and quickness to blow up well outside of the norm and just how nasty they can be at those times and how quick they are to go from zero to a billion in seconds for little to no reason and can say first hand that it doesn't just extend to the gaming world. While I wish them the best and am glad that they managed to overcome their physical health issues and hope that one day they come to terms with their mental and personality battles I am not the least bit surprised that they essentially pulled the pin on the grenade that is their life and personality and then held tightly to it while it exploded in the face of those around them. Sucks for anyone in the blast radius. Maybe one day they will see their errors but somehow I doubt it, most people like that never do.

Is this one person or multiple people?  I see "them" everywhere, and I sincerely can't figure out if you're referring to several people or one person who insists on using grammatically incorrect pronouns that create confusion in their misuse.
