Quote from: Spinachcat;1090855So who are the fucknuts behind this idiocy?

Just the usual Twitter moron brigade or do they actually have published authors?

It's an acronym that Luka Rejec came up with while joking around. It isn't really anything.

Yeah it's a joke acronym.  But...
based on this and this, both of which are tweets in which he fully supports other's descriptions of SwordDream as a SocJus movement, I wonder under what context they were throwing around joke acronyms.

In a discussion of what to create since the OSR is such a toxic soup of "isms" maybe? :D
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

I mean, there's a MeWe group for it now. So it might have started as a joke with nothing behind it, but apparently someone out there took it at least a little seriously.
The more clichéd my group plays their characters, the better. I don't want Deep Drama™ and Real Acting™ in the precious few hours away from my family and job. I want cheap thrills, constant action, involved-but-not-super-complex plots, and cheesy but lovable characters.

It may have started as a joke, but one only has to search for the #sworddream hash tag on Twatter to quickly realize that the bugnuts lefities are taking this completely seriously.

and remember...
The backronym was a joke.
The context, however, that of creating a non-toxic, SJW version of the OSR, the guy fully supports.

The guy's profile-pic is an actual gender unicorn.
I genuinely can't tell if trolling or not and, if so, who.

I can't take this seriously even if the people behind it do (which I strongly doubt). Way too much concentrated nonsense.

"I need... I need... a sword !... deep... so deep... in my... ream... DREAM, I MEANT DREAM ! SWORD DREAM !"

Bwhahahahaha !

Honestly, I had kind of a shitty day, but this SJWs bleating just cracks me up ! My belly hurts !

I must be fucked up in the head, but each time I try to say "Sword Dream" aloud in all seriousness, I picture a (male) sissy bitch with a plug up the wazoo and an incredulous expression on his painted face.

Not that there's anything wrong with sissy bitches, mind you !

It's just... Bwhahahahahaha !

"SWORD DREAM, my fellow SJWs bitches ! The roleplaying word to strive for is... SWORD DREAM !"

So now they don't even need 4chan to trick them into pissing for freedom, freebleeding, etc?

Bwaahahahahahahahaha! Their stupidity has gone full circle into allowing them to be trolled/tricked by their own jokes!

Which only goes to prove that their cult leaves them bereft of a sense of humor, common sense and any sense of decency.

Here's what the trans-trolls posted in the OSR channel over at MeWe:

   
SWORDDREAM Seventh Wave Of Roleplaying Design – DIY Rules Everything Around Me
This is a design philosophy identical to the current OSR, without the bigotry, intolerance, misogyny, racism and white privilege of those who are hurtful. All are welcome except those who think using slurs and insults is appropriate on forums and groups.

https://mewe.com/join/sworddream

Seventh Wave because there are way more than two waves.

And the logo they used on this one looks even more like a hairy dick than the one with an "eyelash" underneath.

Have to join the group, and it's not automated, screen cap?

Your image is too small and my eyes too old.

Edit: Never mind, the text is the same you posted and the important part is the sword right?

Agreed, a hairy dick with a single ball dangling below it.
