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.

Quote from: Haffrung;1074796Of course they're not. Even bringing that up - following a rational chain of thought to first principles - will instantly trigger the tribal war horns of the SJWs. The know they can't defend the hysteria at the heart of the dogma rationally, so they don't even try.

And like the whole movement, this is almost entirely a online thing.

You wish. This has been spreading to other media, mostly entertainment ones, more and more. And probably to other services as well.
SJWs took over a chunk of Marvel and ran it into the dirt, IDW has been going downhill for a good while now. They have a foothold in some cartoon networks. Like Cartoon Network. Theres been slow encroachment into board gaming. And so on. And that is just in the entertainment biz.

No. This stuff is not just isolated to the net anymore.

So OBS isn't good for anal, eh? Good to know.

Quote from: GagarthYou know if the non-binary/queer elements were not so front and center Monsterhearts and Adler would be high on the Outrage Brigade's purge list.
Why? I've been occasionally following Adler/McDonaldo's posts on various sites since she was still a boy, and even then he was pretty messed up (about as much as this sentence is). Seems like a poster child of the movement. What did I miss?

Nevertheless no statement from Thondor, so I would be careful with Compose Dream as a censorship avoiding creator.

Yeah I hope it doesn't get worst cause this will lead to increase crime and eventually civil war.

The content of the game. Imagine if someone marketed a game where the pcs are  straight high school kids using Sex Moves to trick other high school kids into having sex with them and since they are also monsters they can murder or eat the victim afterwards. On top of that  players cannot refuse to have this done to their character if it is from the opposite sex. How long would it take the Outrage Brigade to organise a mob to get it removed from OBS.

It's a bit like saying MYFAROG would be Outrage Brigade's favorite game, if only Varg murdered some Nazi's instead, and the game was about diverse and inclusive gender-fluid warriors raiding white nations for social justice.

But I think we're veering off topic too much.

This week has certainly made me want to move any content I've previously purchased onto platforms safe from the witch-finders.

You can't move it. I don't know of a single service that allows you to transfer a digital license to an RPG book to another platforms, you have to buy it again. A few like Bundle of Holding occasionally give you links to another site (OBS in that case), but they're always one-offs.

But that's actually an interesting concept. Ultraviolet is dying in the digital movie realm, but Movies Anywhere still exists and serves a similar purpose. The basic idea is you buy/redeem and a movie, and that purchase is recognized and mirrored across multiple platforms. Which means you can buy a movie once, and stream it on Fandango, Vudu, or using iTunes. I don't know how you'd implement that in the RPG world, but it's a nice idea. Cut the chains that tie a purchase to a specific platform.

I agree that the game has content that the OB would try to run out of town if not for the queer content(both in the game and the author's personal life), but . . . that's not how Sex Moves work. Not in Monsterhearts, and not in Apocalypse World, where they originated. Why do people keep spreading this misinformation? There's plenty of stuff weird about Monsterhearts(and Apocalypse World) that there's no need to make stuff up.

I was thinking along much the same lines as Gagarth, but refrained from posting those thoughts because I've never actually read MH (or AW) myself.  Plus he beat me to it.  In any case, had I posted, I would have spread that misinformation because... I've been misinformed!  So what's the truth of how they work, for those of us who will never read those rules first-hand?  (PBTA is really, really not my thing, so I'm not going to pick up MH/AW just to read about Sex Moves.)
