Matt Mercer of Critical Role is a super nice guy, he let's us know that all the time. And he told the "D&D Community" to #believeallwomen in the past. So when is going to tell us that now about Creepy Joe?

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.

The way I see it is you have an Alignment axis.  On one hand you have the LG people who are both Good and Consistant with what they believe and on the other hand you have the CG people who are both Good and Inconsistant with what they believe depending on the situation.

It is no point a Lawful person asking a Chaotic person to be consistant because they would not even understand what you are talking about.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1128632So when is going to tell us that now about Creepy Joe?

Mercer will become totally anti-Dementia JoJo as soon as he gets the DNC memo for the party to pivot against him and promote whoever they're going to sneak onto the ticket at the brokered convention in August.

The Right memes to Truth, the Left memes to Power.

I can hear it in your voice Pundit, just how much these people's hypocrisy gets under your skin. Some people are aligned towards the Truth by their nature, to others the Truth only has value inasmuch as it's useful to them, it has no intrinsic value.

There's a natural impulse to want to show the contradictions and flaws in their belief system, but the problem is is that they don't actually believe anything. They will "believe" whatever is convenient, whatever they expect to be rewarded and validated for believing, and whatever they think will grant them status and power for believing.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1128679...whoever they're going to sneak onto the ticket at the brokered convention in August.

The next U.S. presidential election could embrace the ridiculous, circus-like nature of modern U.S. politics and go with Trump/Pence vs. Clinton/Obama (Hillary and Michelle). "Are you not entertained?..."
The problem is not that power corrupts, but that the corruptible are irresistibly drawn to the pursuit of power. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.

Well, I would be.

IMO neither of those women are entertaining.
If the democrats run Vermin Supreme and Jimmy McMillan? Now you're talking.

Theory of Games

SMDH.

You give Mercer and the rest of the Left way too much praise. They don't even know what they're doing enough to shift culture. Remember these are finger-pointers - they excel at identifying what they don't like far better than focusing on what's best for society.

These are children, holding up one toy among others as superior, as if toys could define human destiny.
TTRPGs are just games. Friends are forever.

2020 is the year of Vermin Supreme and Jimmy McMillan.

This is so damn true. Consider my mind blown. Also, Matt better be careful playing with the fire of social justice. As we all know it takes nothing for SJWs to turn on their own. I think if Mercer pulled a Koebel it would shred the streaming and D&D scenes for a good while as the tribe fractured and fell to civil war.

That's not an "if", that's a "when".

If he inserts himself into the wrong hole of this Biden #MeToo moment that could be the "when".

#believeallwomen really means "believe me when I want to destroy someone with a twitter mob".

The actual purpose behind Believe All Women was to speak against the constant denials of people in a woman's orbit and people of authority she came to for help. It was about doing the rape kit AND then pursuing the evidence in court. It was about treating the woman with sincerity and concern, getting her help, and helping through the process. It was sparked by the consistent denials like;

"Uncle Frank would never do that, he's a good person."
"You shouldn't be walking alone."
"You shouldn't have been dressed like that."
"Boys will be boys."

Believe All Woman was not a blank check to be written to the public at large to simply drop all reason, due process, or individuals rights. It was not a blank check to form up a posse, locate someone with a penis, and then burn them alive. Believe All Women is not a justification to erase personal liberty or worse, shit all over the founders of America's wishes that we don't behave like a monarchy beholden to the unproven whims of one person - or even a few people.

Of course, because I refuse to join or support the inquisition, I'm a "rape apologist" heathen who... wait for it... should be burned at the stake.

I know many here understand this. I just reiterate for the looky-loos who lurk across theRPGsite lacking the courage to jump in and participate in meaningful conversation.
