In the ongoing spree of #DnD SJWs turning on each other, a new Queer-themed SJW #dnd5e  book has been attacked, not by evil right-wingers but by other SJWs for being the "wrong kind" of queer.

Yeah, no shit it is the wrong type of Queer.

Because having a queer vampire is the type of representation you want to see?

I always think of the Kids in the Hall sketch "Hockey Game Pick-up" whenever gay Strahd is mentioned.

I will re-iterate my request for written transcripts to videos, as even at 1.5 speed I STILL could read your entire point in much less than half the time I takes to watch videos.

Also, I note you struggle a little to explain the Virtue Death Spiral, I'll remind you that de Toqueville, in his masterpiece on the Ancien Regiem actually quite elequently lays out exactly how Virtue differs from Sin, and why it creates such death spirals. Better, he does it in the first or second chapter, absolving the lazy (like Me!) from having to read the whole damn (thin) book to get it.

There's no money in that.

What's to explain?

It should more properly be called the Self-Righteousness Death Spiral, but Virtue is easier to say so its clear why the misapropism stuck.

Here's a short version for future use. The Prideful believe themselves to be the the most righteous being possible and so, to prove this, create categories to distinguish themselves from the less righteous. Whenever a category of the less righteous compared to them is peeled away they pick a new category from among those who still qualify as righteous to further distinguish themselves as more righteous.

On and on this goes until finally the numbers of the "unrighteous" realize they vastly outnumber the self-proclaimed righteous and that group declares the now minority self-righteous to be villains who must be removed from greater society for it own good.

And thus the cycle begins again.

Succinct.

Mind if I borrow this?

By that logic I shouldn't be spending time reading or posting on this forum, either.  No money in it.

So only marysues and gary stues are allowed as "representation" of the "marginalized"?

That's making them not human, because humans fall in every single spot of the spectrum between perfectly good and perfectly evil.

By this logic whenever I play a woman PC it should have 18 in every stat, +2 in every skill check, be immune to mind control, sleep, and every magic that might make her less powerful or less than perfect.

Go right ahead. I don't see much point in sharing a thought if others can't use it.

OK, then there's NO INFLUENCE in that. I get ten times more people watching my video than reading my blog. Why would I put my energy into writing an article that takes ME much longer to do, so that it can reach LESS people?

Are you saying there is something wrong with having an 18 in every stat?  o_O

You just wasted one minute of my life arguing that Pundit should make your life easier than making money. You owe me a dollar.

As usual, SJWs indulge if their favorite targets for witchburning.

Each other.

Grab some popcorn.
