This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Chunkthulhu;1090243Personally, I think that's the problem with the whole thing.  Politics should not be a component of TTRPGs.  The staunchest diehard conservative and the most bleeding heart liberal should be able to sit at a table, or on a forum, and talk about - or play - TTRPGs without issue.  

And we used to.

Yep.

This seems like some kind of spoof, like Meninism.
I'm not sure what to make of it, yet.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Nope, meninis exists only as a spoof of feminism, this is not a spoof, they are deadly serious and already outlining who would be allowed into their comuniteh.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

I can not see a drawback to having all of the toxic Sword Lords all writing under the same label.

Neither do I because...  Well other people said it better than myself.  Let the sjws play with their swords.  We the OSR hobby will weave our magics just fine without them.

Aaaaaaand to the surprise of no one with two brain cells to rub together the purity spiral already started, go watch Pundit's latest video for the delicious and hilarious details.

Quote from: Theory of Games;1090297You should all know White Liberals are more Woke than Black people in regards to Racism.

Whites are the new 'standard' for racial activism. Obviously, black & brown people are fkn lames.

So-called minorities need whites to explain how they may or may not be oppressed, even with RPGs.

Its been that way for a good while now. Its allmost never the actual minority complaining about some media outrage. Its these White Knight types defending us for us because obviously we are too stupid to be offended. Sure you will get a few actually from the minority piping up. But 99% of the time they seem to be falling over themselves to act even more retarded than their white SJW 'protectors' which just re-inforces the perception that they need 'protecting' and are raging morons.

Round and round it goes. We are never going to be rid of these loons. Especially this virulent new strain.
