It will only get worse if Trump wins a second term as many who go on the site live in a fantasy, imaginary, narrative filled world of their own making.
Even more reasons to vote for the God Emperor!!
He's the President with Benefits!
I can't recall who said it, but some brilliant person said, "the only roleplaying most of rpg.net do is pretending to be gamers."
LOL!! I think you're quoting the philosopher known as Kyle of the Aaron clan!
You mean the 90-95% of gamers who aren't offended by it?
Ameritrash was a bullshit and insulting term that got "reclaimed" because the Euro-abstract aesthetic lost out to games which combined theme and mechanics so the Euro-snob players got shunted out of the limelight, but its still bullshit.
The clowns who pushed the "Ameritrash" narrative were akin the storygame crowd in RPGs. They latched onto one type of game and declared that type to be the "only real games".
Personally, I don't mind abstract games and some are excellent, but I never saw the alleged superiority of Abstraction, just akin to a modern art fetish. But its pretty funny to see how "Ameritrash" gamers absolutely won Kickstarter.
