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.

So, uh, anybody know what a "Redneck Valkyrie" looks like?
I believe this page has you covered.   ;D

LOL, yes indeed.
Here's the story:  A small "make a character from this photo" thread drew three infractions, including the removal of the offending graphic.

    Yeah no. I found it on a “Country Girl” twitter feed. There’s nothing at all special about the photo, or should I say, the girl in the photo. What makes the photo, and what inspired this thread, was her Jeep’s license plate - HELHEIM.

    That’s what made the photo unique and invoked the whole Modern Mythic Redneck Shield Maiden thing. Because who would have that as their vanity plate other than a Valkyrie?

Nope. To reiterate folks - when we pull something from the board, a discussion of nature of the thing and how to find it is not the road you should head down, especially not after a mod directive to stop doing precisely that.

As for "who would have that as their vanity plate other than a Valkyrie?" you have already been given an answer for that in Trouble Tickets.

Leaving that aside, it would be especially weird for a Valkyrie to have a license plate reading Helheim mythologically.

Take a day off.

Even the RPGnet moderation team admits there wasn't anything wrong with the photo, it was just "beneath our standards" so to speak.

If that is what is causing angst and bans at TBP then I can think of no better example that puritanism has shifted to using a leftist secular vector as mainstream religion has lost influence. “I no longer believe in God, but I still absolutely fear that somebody may be having enjoyment of some kind that I don’t approve of.”

Images of women (some are cheesecake, some not) with guns are so frightening to them that not only do they not allow the posting of said images on their site (which I can   understand if they don’t want to become a site for hosting cheesecake), but you also can’t even mention that such a thing exist. Of course, maybe this isn’t what is meant by “redneck valkyrie”, but one can’t be sure because even describing the term is forbidden. It’s a taboo similar to the name of God for some folks.

I think I found the picture in question:
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/219902394294876762/
So it’s a bit of cheesecake, though I don’t think it’s a very good expression of cheesecake. The mods are going off that it’s coded pagan white supremacy, which has me wonder if there’s nothing in this world that they couldn’t define as white suprematism.

Is the picture silly or stupid? Sure one could think that. However, also plausible as a starting inspiration for a character concept. TBP couldn’t make even talking about the image taboo by just saying it’s cheesecake as they aren’t yet ready to declare themselves the Junior Anti-Sex League, at least not the Junior Anti-“Not the Right Kind of Sex” League. So they take use the vanity plate to make a tenuous link to white supremacy and Odinism. One would think some pagans there would take offense. I also skimmed the Twitter feed going back to November 29 to find the original post and I found no idiot white supremacy talk, just dorks talking about his hot they found the pictures, which is nothing new, and will always be a normal human reaction to guys seeing attractive women.

I believe the OP who introduced this image at TBP is black, and it’s beyond insanity that she would be promoting white supremacy.

Well, it alternates between 'we don't like suggestive pictures' and 'muh white supremacy'. They've been pissy about cheesecake, even SFW cheesecake, for a while. The 'white supremacy' bit is just another club to hit people with.

You'd think they'd want to reclaim Asatru/Aesir worship from white supremacy, emphasizing the strong meritocratic aspects (Odin was top dog not because he was smarter, stronger, or wilier than Frigga, Thor, or Loki -- but because he could be better at all three of them than any one of the others). Frankly, if I was an Asatruist I'd be more than a little tired of this crap.

But then, cardboard villains are the easiest for wokeist retards to fight.

Her body her choice right?  Who are we to deny women the right to display their sexuality in cheesecake photographs?

Now let me get back to my post project technical documentation which I am totally going to do and not browse through these Pintrest feeds all day.

I'll be honest, I'd be hard-pressed to not troll the shit out of them with 'I'm sorry you feel so threatened by a PROUD CONFIDENT WOMAN. Maybe someday you'll rid yourself of your internalized misogyny.'

That theory I saw about how wokeists hate beautiful things and people, and worship ugly things because it reflects their real selves, just seems to keep gathering momentum.

*squinty eyes* That didn't help, son.

I'll cop to having been banned sometime last summer from the big purple for pointing out the inconvenient truth that Sean Young spent her time filming Blade Runner stoned out of her gourd, something that she herself has said in multiple interviews. Apparently, their habit of coming up with something that you didn't actually say and infracting you with that also meant that the mod team thinks I'm an Islamophobe and thus needed to be permakicked for a completely unrelated thing.  ::)

Mama Voodoo, the poster of the redneck valkyrie thread, has been permabanned over that posting. Her level of Wokeness couldn’t keep up with the mods, so the revolution eats another of their own for a trifling infraction.

I believe Mama Voodoo is a recurring poster who's been banned and un-banned since she's a "minorty", but goes off the rails even for TPB.

However in this case I’d argue it’s the mods who have gone off the rails in the general sense of the phrase. Unless you specifically meant she went off the bizarre and ever-changing set of rails the mods lay down at TBP.

That was the great thing about Soviet asylums: even if you weren't really crazy when you went in, you'd almost certainly wind up that way after staying there.  After all, isn't the hallmark of insanity the conviction that you're the only sane man around?
