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.

Greetings!

Raise taxes more, fuck the economy with more unemployment and poverty, lock down more of society, enforcing more fucking masks, persecute Christians gathering in churches, charge and arrest more citizens defending themselves, cheer on more BLM and ANTIFA riots, keep peddling more godless Communism in schools, and start confiscating people's firearms.

All this BS is stuff the fucking Liberals under Biden and Harris love. Bernie, AOC and the fucking "squad" love this shit.

To normal, conservative, traditional-minded Americans, all of that is kindling being soaked in gasoline. All it takes is a single lit match, for a firestorm to be unleashed.

Who knows where or when such a match will be dropped into the gasoline? This isn't a good situation for America to be in, and anyone that thinks everything is just gonna go on like normal eating cupcakes and playing video games is naïve. But the fucking Marxists don't care. They want America to be Communist slaves, or burn. Who knows where things will go, but geesus, the signs are not good at all.

Semper Fidelis,

If what I just saw on CNN is true, I would suggest him to renounce method acting  ;)

I think that, if anything, this result should curb the whole SJW aberration across the board. I always had the impression that, sure, you can always find nutjobs, but also that Trump being elected caused a "need to be woke!" reaction from Hollywood first and from the entertainment industry in a general sense.

After a lot of pains and heartburns suffered by this people, some YouTubers I like to follow coined the phrase "Get woke, go broke!" - something underlined by the spectacular failures of the new Star Wars Trilogy ("The Force is Female"? For real? BTW, The Last Jedi by Ruin Jonson can be considered one of the most brand-damaging movies in the history of cinema), Terminator: Woke Fate (of course), Charle's Angels and a score of movies and shows imposing "diverse, female centric" storylines (a trend actually started by Ghostbusters 2016, which, even if it came out before Trump, showed very well why jumping on the trend was a bad idea).

And of course if you pointed out what a sad failure everything was you were "toxic masculinity". Wot?! Dudes, we got Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, Buffy, the female leads in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... Heck, Resident Evil, think what you want about it, is the most successful horror franchise in history - mostly because it was always a fun romp with no pretenses to be otherwise. Truth is: your movie/show/game sucks so hard that not even the SJW people cheerleading for it are forking the money.

Then Joker comes out, proves that you can do honest social commentary via pop culture icons, and the movie is obliterated by the MSM - only for the latter to discover that the Joke was on them. Now, I'm not a Joker cheerleader for a variety of reasons, but I can recognise how the filmmakers were able to capture the spirit of the times before the American streets exploded.

But now? Come January Trump will be happily shipped away to anyone relief (including many people from his own party). Creeps like Weinstein and Spacey and others are on trial. Many moderately normal people will look around and see that, in the meanwhile, some big, real problems have crept in: a pandemic, a great recession, record unemployment... Without the creeps engine running to produce the needed steam, only the most fanatical SJW will remain (in all fairness, we have seen in this very thread how burned outs inhabit both sides of the aisle).

Two weeks ago, Disney (of all entertainment companies!) came out and explicitly forbade his employees - effect immediate - to attack the paying public. The days of [whine]"The toxic masculinity is to blame!"[/whine] are over. Others will follow.

SJW will not disappear. Nothing ever disappear. People who believe that the Earth is Flat are still with us. But the biggest anti-SJW megaphone of them all has been torpedoed. The hard nucleus will remain, those who followed the fad will find something else to do.

So, yes, I do believe that the US election result will be beneficial for the hobby. Time will tell.
