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.

Talk about being fucking clueless.

Why would a company whose large percentage of customer base is children going to make any negative comments about the ruling.

As usual can’t get in the way of carefully constructed personal narratives can we.

Hasbro is not going to risk what is probably a large part of the fan base for some truly dumb SJWs.

Asking how well the fast food chains did when the all tried to carry an push a vegan version of burgers and then get back to me.
I don't think it's as simple as that. Children are terrible as paying customers. They tend to have very little money. It's the parents who are the customer base. If a mother aborts the 3rd child because they only wanted 2 kids, that's money saved on food, clothes, and daycare that can be spent on toys for the first 2. The broke teenage mom is also not a customer because she has zero disposable income. Maybe her family are customers or maybe not. Maybe they do hand-me-downs. Even the simple fact of more children means more profit should be examined. I bet we all knew an only-child who was spoiled with toys and a poor family with four kids who barely had any. It's a grim calculus to be sure, and maybe you're ultimately correct, but it's not as simple as killing the customer base.

Parents are only customers for as long as they have children.  The vast majority of abortions in the USA are unmarried women with no children.

Well, they certainly don't have children after the abortions...

If the complaint is anonymous I assume it is one person.
Make them list their names. Then you know what to do.

I do feel a bit bad for all these women...err birthing persons....randomly stricken by pregnancy.  It seems someone could come up with some sort of way to stop this Pandemic?

Somehow "diverse" doesn't include "people with anti-abortion views". According to WotC, if you are anti-abortion you for sure don't play Magic or D&D because... reasons. The level of blind stupidity is astounding.
To be fair, I don't play Magic or D&D... because I don't give money to people who hate me.

What I'm really curious about is their one-day walkout strike. Did it end up happening? Who participated?

Did anyone notice they were gone?

   Word on the street is there was a 65 percent spike in productivity that day.

Well, the proof of that will be how many people at Wizards didn't go to work today.

These insufferable twats. Hasbro is a toy company. Of course they won't be outraged about RvW; why on Earth would they want their target demographic being murdered?  ;D ;D ;D

Disney's target demographic is children and it didn't stop them from throwing their lot with the woke.

Nothing else. This guy just asks for respect for each other in one of the most complex and divisive matters out there and he gets plastered. That there can be Sony employees with anti-abortion rights and no one wants a civil war isn't even contemplated. Need for mental health care indeed.

  Well, according to those at WotC,

Quote
Any messaging that suggests or implies that there are other, valid, opinions and approaches to this further marginalization of already at risk groups, on their bodily autonomy is unnecessary, invalid, and damaging. (4/11)


    I was sorely tempted to ask "So will official D&D AL events and Magic tournaments require trampling on a crucifix for participating, or will the opening hymn to Moloch suffice?" ;)

Groups? GROUPS? GROUPS?

There's only one group being impacted by this, women, especifically promiscuous women. Except if you count the positive impact on the baby's not being murdered.

I'm betting on Hasbro bending the knee, I might be wrong but somehow I doubt it. In the unlikely event of them not bending the knee they will remain silent.

  According to a Polygon article that dug into this, it was the lack of public statement and the acknowledgement that other people might have different opinions that outraged the complainants at WotC.

I'm not so sure that's their target demographic any more.

I was thinking about this a bit last night. Was watching a video of one of the nicer, more modern designs for Transformers toys, and suddenly thought of something: who's buying this?

Kids? Don't be absurd, they're fuckin' expensive. Plus some of these toys are hard as hell for little fingers to work.

No, my money is on, let's be honest, immature adults. Manchildren.

So I wonder if Disney is really after the 'kid' demographic these days, or if they're courting the immature adult and creeper demographics instead.

Manchildren sounds about right.

Not even DINKs, but incel woke Manchildren with excess income (due to their ASD-incel ways).
