I don't think there's a practical way to make both of these demographics happy at the convention. If the conservative Christian players have to play with a bunch of gay players, I don't think they'll be happy - and conversely, if the gay players have to play with a bunch of conservative Christians, I don't think they'll be happy.
Depends on the sort and the principles. If the conservative christians are very by the book and can't even handle stuff like imaginary pantheons, then its unlikely they will be happy in the convention at all.
If the gay group demands that everything cater to their fetish and get upset when people disagree they will also be unlikely to be happy in the convention at all.
But if both sides have some decency to indulge some level of imagination and leave politics away, if for a while, then they can get along. Both sides can get along if they WANT to get along fundementally.
SJW principles is to NOT get along. Anything short of utopian dominance of their ideals, and their ideals alone, is blasthemous.
Can christians have the same issue? Yes. But they have lost a ton of influence and its the SJWs leading the charge in almost every institution.
At this point in the conversation, I think my concern is activism. I'd be equally put off if somebody came in and wanted to make the convetnion about LGBTQ issues, or how demons in D&D make the game satanic, or a guy with a boot on his head wanted to use the convention to talk about libertarian values.
Some minor creep is inevitable when a GM puts their spin on an adventure about gay dragons. (I'd probably just laugh at that idea) but I can just walk away from a game I think is getting preachy. But when the convention itself fosters an environment of evangelizing about out of game topics, that's when I get irate.
You got it.
When I help people in my job, I help them. That I am a straight Ostensibly Christian dude is immaterial. I help everyone.
When I play D&D or whatever, I play. I don’t tell others how to feel, correct them suppress them or whatever.
In some magical world, people come together for common purpose and leave each other alone otherwise.
If I am on a diet, I watch what I eat; I don’t police everyone else. My buddy can eat a 3000 calorie meal. As long as he does not hassle me about my salad, we can have dinner together. That’s the same with rpg or other games for me. Shut up an play. It’s the reason we are hanging out.
Once he starts bitching me out for eating meat, having a beer with my dinner or whatever, we got a problem. We have lost sanity when we think it is our responsibility to live others lives. A convention. Does not have to be so dissimilar. Leave me alone. I am playing colonialist (if you say so) classic D&D and you are playing thirsty sword plungers. Me joining the sword swallowers and complaining I don’t like that is absurd.
Sjw gotta understand my character is developing a stronghold. Don’t participate if you don’t like it. Other events can cater to your preferences
