The OSR Will Outlive SJWs (and Probably WoTC Too)

I've been growing suspicious of "right-libertarians" because freedom of association can be used to exclude protected classes from your business. Which is just a way to re-legalize racism.

Racists sure do like hiding among regular people. Some people here are concerned that OSR will stop being OSR because all of the "old guard" will eventually die out. Hmmmmmm. I wonder what set of beliefs is actually dying out? It's certainly not good GMing practices.

Yeah, because the "progressives" aren't already discriminating...

Oh wait, it's not against "protected classes",

Yep, it's like all the bestest like GMs evah are like Millenials?!

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.

Why would you want to patronize a business that's owned by racists?

*laughing* I'm curious, Ratman, who are all of these racists? Furthermore, who all is being "excluded"?

I'm very exclusive in my home games. No SJW's, no whining jackasses, no fucking nutjobs. *shrugs* I usually vet people as family, known friends, or at least new friends that I really get along well with, and the same kind of gamers recommended by my already family and friends.

It's easy to chuck out accusastions of racism to try and shut people up. I'm glad the tactic gets mocked for the stupidity that it is.

I could go all "I game with a black dude", because I do. I game with all kinds of people. They'e all Good Joes, and that's all I care about.
But the tactic wants to make you apologize and prove your anti-racism, and make you grovel for acceptance, and I don't care to do that. So fuck 'em. I don't care if some asshole thinks I'm a racist.

Most of those who responded to me are already on my "ignored racists" lists. It's comforting to see how right it was. It's amazing how hard some racists people work to create all this coded language to mingle in with regular people. It's funny though because now-a-days you automatically know any COVID19-denier is also racist. They are two unrelated topics so no coded language has been invented yet, but it is basically a 100% correlation between those opinions and conscious racism. Perhaps one only comes to the conclusion that "the plague is a hoax" with the same mental handicaps required to be racist.

I don't think the racists in the OSR community will drag it down. OSR is too big with too many players for all but the most racist woke people to consider OSR as a block of people who agree about everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev373c7wSRg

Oh noes. I might get put on Rhedyn's "ignored racists" list. I'll never be happy again.

All this talk about racists makes me want to find a way to get Drow into my campaign somehow.

Hopefully my party will capture one to keep with their Red Dragon.

The fact that you assume that anyone who supports the original OSR is racist, tells me everything I need to know. Even my post about OSR members dying off gave specific reasons why I think it's bad that have absolutely nothing to do with the race in any way.

Rhedyn, it is "comforting to see how right it was"--about what? People responding to you saying what, exactly? Who are these racists you keep talking about? What "coded" language are you talking about?

In addition, there's "100% correlation between Covid-10 deniers is also racist." What the hell? Correlation from where? With whom?

It could be interesting to create a Covid-like disease that Drow Elves can spread to others. That would make the Drow-Elves even more fun! People that think there is something wrong with Drow-Elves and such--deeming such races as "racist" are weak-minded morons that have been brainwashed by Marxists.

  Drow, seem very racist.  Their whole society seems to be the very definition of what a racist society would look like.  And red dragons....they are so racist they even hate one another.

Hello, Hedgehobbit! What is so wrong with the "Old Guard" of the OSR and gaming in general? Rhedyn believes that the "Old Guard" of gaming are racists?

Where the hell does he get that idea? That sounds like total nonsense to me. Why would Rhedyn want to believe that?

I think that the "Old Guard" preserves a lot of knowledge and wisdom in running games, the game lore, and good attitudes towards keeping the game base strong, and not diluted or corrupted by Forge-isms, or the current racist hysteria.

Ratman! I checked the last two pages of the thread--is there some context that I'm missing? What is Rhedyn talking about? Does he think you and GeekyBugle are racists? That's fucking funny.

Has Rhedyn been having some weird argument with himself?

I think this is veering dangerously off-topic, so I'll just say that the OSR will definitely outlive the SJWs, and hopefully WotC too, cuz WotC SUCKS! :p
