Tubesock Army is OBVIOUSLY banned, for doxxing. It's not just doxxing, though, apparently he infiltrated a facebook group that was specifically for the purpose of fundraising related to the teaching I do on eastern spirituality. It was part of my income for many years as is typical in that tradition (where a teacher gives the teaching for free, and students with the means to do so financially assist the teacher, not much different than what you see in churches).
This to try to claim that I'm not actually making a full time living today off of RPGs, but he shared doxxed posts dated years ago.
I've always been very open about how much money I make from RPGs, if you read my blogs or watched my videos, you'd know that over the course of about 10 years RPGs have gone from being insignificant income to being my full-time job and complete income. As of 2018 RPGs were maybe 1/3rd of my income, which was mostly month-to-month.
As of early 2020, it was over 2/3rds of my income, which was now a little past month to month. It was from that point on that the rpgpundit presents line of books started to generate more and more income, the compilation books started, then Star Adventurer, then Invisible College, and this year Sword & Caravan. My youtube channel kept expanding and my sales skyrocketed.
Now RPGs are the vast majority of my income, income which is about double what I'd spend to live off in a month.
If you want proof that contrary to Tubesock's claims, what I wrote above is what I have ALWAYS said about my income, check out this video from March 2021 where I talk about "how to make a living off RPGs", and I repeat exactly what I'm saying now:
(incidentally, you'll note that in the video I am stunned by just how much money I'm earning in March of 2021, which was already more than I ever needed in a regular month; I just checked and my income for Oct 2022 is likely to be about 1.5 times the March '21 amount.
You'll notice Tubesock didn't post anything after 2020, because as I went beyond month-to-month type income to having five-figure fucking-around money, the purpose of that particular group he was quoting from disappeared. The last actual post that wasn't just a repost from somewhere else was in October 2021, The last post by anyone other than myself was Feb 2021, and the last actual request for any special fundraising was November 2020.
I never pretended I'm rich (ironically, the Wokists keep trying to flip flop between the two lies of "pundit is a trust fund baby who lives off an inheritance" and "pundit is an impoverished beggar"). I don't lie, not ever. I can tell you: I own a three bedroom house, in what was a good deal, that I'm still paying the mortgage off but not doing bad at that, and I make a very comfortable salary off RPGs in the thousands of dollars per month. In 2021 and 2022 roughly every other month was a new record for "most money I've ever made off RPGs", with October 2022 already (even without the month's end stuff) a new record.
I'm not super-rich (I never expected to be, I spent my entire life running away from riches in search of other things, and living a bohemian monastic lifestyle) but I incredibly find myself with something I never ever expected from the time I started pursuing my personal spiritual cultivation instead of a career: I have a growing bank account with tens of thousands of dollars in savings I don't need to do anything with, and I don't need to concern myself about paying for anything I want.
To bring it back to this topic: the more Anti-Woke I became, the LESS BROKE I became. The more I succeeded. To the point that I make a full-time living off RPGs that would be entirely sufficient to fund my lifestyle comfortably even if I had no other means of income available, and there's no sign of it slowing down.
