I think the point is that if enough people get in with certain views to a critical mass, they can then change the culture of the hobby and then you can't open a book without getting hit with politics.

How do you propose to stop them from getting in? --snip--

It's called MARGINALIZATION. It's what they are doing to us. However, against them it worked for decades, especially during the initial Post War period. Nothing is impossible if people realize that 'normalization' is only possible through permissive attitudes and tolerance for the intolerable. I hate to say it, but to defeat the enemy one must become them - even if it means becoming a hypocrite. Only continued weakness of will and mind will prevent us from winning and having TRUE INCLUSION back again! (I know I sound like them... but that's the current situation we find ourselves in. They chose the "By Any Means Necessary" route. That means they need the boot to the balls, forever. Never forgive and never forget! End tolerance.)

The leftist entryists into the OSR aren't going to be able to control or change it. Their products are not interesting to anyone but themselves. And frankly, it seems pretty clear that's how they like it; they don't want to sell products to the rest of us. Of course, they don't want us to be able to sell our products at all, but they'll never be able to outcompete us, and the OSR doesn't have a "Wizards of the Coast" they can control.

Yet.

We have seen how good they are at turning people, and how good they are at infiltrating and subverting from within. Oust one person, then another for some "wrong" and eventually the inmates are running the asylum.

Or god knows some other crack-head ploy to shut down opposition. We've seen it time and again.

OSR game designers that work for themselves can't be canceled by SJWs. Especially if they crowdfund their projects on Indiegogo.
