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.

Well here we see another aspect of the issue. The GM is well known for subverting genre and mixing and matching (EG: Dad's Army Vs Deep Ones) that _should_ have been obvious from the sign-up sheet but apparently wasn't. Why WOULD anyone discuss limits etc? Find a table that uses X-cards or whatever if that's what you're looking for - and again, the whole 'rape thing' seems to spring forth from their heads, fully formed, like Athena with the flimsiest of justifications.

And then everyone's supposed to just pretend it doesn't matter if their interpretation is right or not.

juvenile sexual content =/= PCs roofied and raped


You must not be familiar with juvenile sexual humor.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Those are two very different content warnings. The former could be a wacky sex comedy about 18-year-olds on break trying to score, which is very different content from PCs roofied, raped, and hunted down. The GM was apparently picturing The Inbetweeners from his interview - but it isn't mentioned in the description.

Agreed but for one point, there was no rape described by the GM. Should we be held accountable for what fucktards feel/think/read/interpret from our words/actions regardles if their fuctard interpretation has any basis/merit?

So if a woke moron calls you a muhsoggynerd/wacist/nathzee we should treat you as such?

If you say good morning to a strange woman on the street we should treat you as a sexual harasser?

Their subjective (and intentionally evil) interpretation of your words should be the standard?

No, sorry that's not something I will ever agree to.

What counts is their fee fees Grim, they feel you and I are both far right incels bent in enslaving non-whites and women just waiting for the opportunity to throw gays from roofs.

Therefore it must be so

And according to some we should take measures to prevent the fucktards from ever misconstruing anything we do/say. Because we know they will misconstrue it, but they fail to see that they will do so no matter what.

And that giving ground only serves to give them power to demand we give ever more ground to their crazy demands.

But you know "Won't somebody think of the children/wahmen?"

You're absolutely right GeekyBugle: these SJW crazies cannot be appeased, negotiated with, or apologised to. They can only be ignored. The sooner people - across all areas of society - realise that you can just refuse to bend the knee to the demands of SJWs of every stripe, the sooner their power will be broken. They - the SJWs - are in the minority. It's just that they control some key institutions in society. I don't think that situation can last forever.

Go on then - name three key institutions they control.

As we're meant to stay on roleplaying discussions: Are you actually a moronic pillock or just playing at being one?

At the risk of a warning for going off-topic, I'll answer your question: academia; the media; and Hollywood. I won't comment further for reasons already outlined.

Sorry. I thought your Glasgow, Scotland to be the one in the UK rather than the one in the US.

Academia - No. I'm a British academic. UK academia is in no way controlled by SJWs [You do understand what controlled means?]

The Media. Even if I concede that the BBC has a liberal bias - although it mostly seems to equally upset the left and right at different times - I don't see "control" there. The most popular UK newspapers are the Sun and the Daily Mail. SJW controlled, really?


Hollywood - if you say so. But - I don't consider that an institution as the term is normally used.


Ob RPG reference: Do you think gamers habituation to fantasy worlds makes them more likely to accept ridiculous conspiracy theory versions of the world? Are you sure it's the SJWs controlling those institutions not vampires or David Icke's lizard men?

I disagree that this is a fucktard interpretation. If the characters are all roofied, stripped naked, handcuffed, and have their asses sore - then rape is not some weird woke-only interpretation. I would expect that conservative, totally un-woke players would still presume rape in that situation.

So puritans from the other side of the isle. Still I shouldn't be held accountable for stuff that happened solely in your head.

Well, if you're the GM and you're the one setting the scenes for what happens in my head while I'm playing at your table, then yes. Do a better job of helping the players to form the intended scenes in their heads, or don't be surprised when it goes sideways.

This has nothing to do with pro or anti. It's just common sense about what to conclude.

If I'm running a game where the players are all explicitly on-board for sexual violence, then this sort of thing would be a reasonable move for the GM. And... if I were a player in that game, I would still come to the same conclusion.
