My view of these safety tools is that they are absolutely unnecessary. They don't actually help the situation at all and they just give more opportunity for people who wanted to disrupt games to disrupt the games.

I wouldn't even call them safety tools. Because they do not guarantee anyone's safety. They give more opportunity for people who troll the games to troll the games. And quite frankly they're unnecessary by the rules put out by most conventions anyway. They are absolutely redundant when compared to the rules for running games at conventions in the first place.

The main problem that got me banned from another place for talking about this subject was the fact that someone was insisting that these so-called safety tools be instituted as a requirement for gaming at conventions. That anyone running a game be required to use these safety tools regardless of their own desires or experiences or precautions.

Instead I got yelled at by a self-righteous piece of trash that said that the GM doesn't have a right to determine what it is the safety of the people in their group when the GM is actually the administrator of the group. It's a contradiction that was glittering to me and I absolutely believe and believed that it was wrong.

The fact is that I already signed a contract when I'm running games at a convention for specific content specific methods specific approaches and specific resolution to problems. I don't need some armchair intellectual trying to tell me how to run my games when it's already been now working just fine without any problems whatsoever.

So in my view they can take these safety tools and stick them where the sun don't shine.

As for their appearance in the Fate Accessibility Toolkit well they were out of place utterly out of place they had nothing to do with the enabling the disabled to enjoy gaming too. They also did nothing about integrating disability when it comes to characters in the game to being something that is manageable by a GM and the rest of the group. Instead they took up valuable space that could have been used for explaining how to keep a disability from taking over a game group and becoming the prime subject.

It is so great that the SJW cult has helped us poor helpless disabled people. By making things worse for us.

Because they always do.

It's one big virtue signaling clusterfuck. The weak-willed signal their virtue by cluttering their tables with "safety tools." The assholes signal their virtue by forcing the weak-willed to do this. The tools themselves are redundant or stupid.

Yep, SJWs are more interested in appearing virtuous than actually helping people that need help.

Real help is getting the guy in the wheelchair up the stairs into the game room and making no fuss about it (seen it). SJWs will make all the fuss and do nothing.

Exactly this.

Very. They always talk big. But the reality is all they do is make things worse for us. They rile people up. Which makes us look bad. They attack people in our name. Which makes us look bad. They make demands for us. Which makes us look bad.

They treat us worse than the things they claim we are "suffering" under. They have never helped a single person except by accident. And they probably fucked that up too.

But they sure love to point at people actually out there doing something and claim that was one of them.
