They really chinched out on production values for their anti-life T-shirt.

I guess this is intentionally mocking, but in case it isn't clear, the actual t-shirt is here:

I think she lost a game of "got your nose" or else that toothed axe took a nip at it.

She's a mouth-breather.

Bill Burr's view on the topic is similar to my own.

Same Pundit. Bill Burr's view is mine as well.

Another one satirizing that  one

Nice to see that SJG is against vaccine mandates. I mean, that's what "my body, my choice" refers to -- right?

Well, well, look what FedEx dropped off...



Good stuff!

Good stuff!

I got some of those before SJ's anti-human rights manifesto.

As did I (been a fan of SJG since the OG pocket box days), but this was a nice way to fill out my collection while supporting SJG.

Another thing I noticed is that on their web site, Illuminator, etc., they are always talking how hard things are for them now with shipping costs and the high inflation rate.  We get it, but you get the world you support and ask for.  Please, don't complain when you get it.

All publishers are complaining about that, though.

I don't understand their complaints. 
They use Chinese slaves to make their products that are manufactured in factories powered by cheap coal.
They are shipped across the pacific on ships powered by diesel and delivered to them in trucks powered by diesel.
And they set up shop in a State that has no corporate tax.
What's not to love?

Here's the thing about SJGames:
First let me start by saying that as an employer the question of what kind of support they will give their female employees is very much their business, that isn't about getting political
secondly, they seem to me to veer liberal when there is a big ticket issue they can play up- the Supreme court ruling, the George Floyd protests, but maintain a constant conservative drumbeat the rest of the time, from insisting that they were not going to change a supplement which insisted that all witches were evil when hordes of their customers protested (they eventually decided to drop it but wouldn't change it) that this was discriminatory to allowing white supremacist symbols in their e-communications while as a matter of free speech while shutting down anyone who protested against them as "bringing politics into the site" and banning them. They also got bad press at a low level several years ago for deciding to stick with an independent author who had been accused of sexual misconduct at a convention. I'm not sure how much of this just goes to a limit on how liberal one can actually be in Texas or if there is some kind of weird back and forth to the corporate culture, t if they are really more or less alt-right except when there is a very obvious PR reason not to be. Whatever is going on there it is neither simple nor straightforward.

i am NOT going to multi quote a bunch of people - but here is the simple fact :

Yes, SJ Games is in a supposedly 'Conservative' or right-wing state (supposedly).

However, they are also headquartered in Austin - which according to even Texans is a very 'Liberal' city.
Just like Ohio is thought of as 'conservative', but if you live and work in the Cleveland area it is very 'left' leaning or liberal there.

I still buy and support SJG products and items in general.

Aye, Austin is its own little bubble due to politics and academia being almost across the street from each other.  Fun place to party, but I don't know if I would want to live there.

SJG ...allowing white supremacist symbols in their e-communications...
