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.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

  I doubt that is real, though I know 4 of their employees did get pinched in a pedo sting this week.

This seems to be a failure regular occurrence...  Not necessarily Disney's fault so much as it is that they are a form of employment that attracts pedos for the same reason schools, scouts, etc. do - easy access to children. 

That having been said, there *is* an intersection between the trans agenda, the propensity for leftists to want to teach primary school kids graphic sexual topics without parental knowledge/consent, and the attempt to normalize pedo behavior.  As I said, there are *gay* couples who have kids who don't want this stuff being taught in school either.  It's only because of covid remote zoom meeting school attendance that parents were finally able to see what teachers are indoctrinating their kids in.

  Groomers want to groom.  Next step for "progress" will be some form of pedo acceptance.  Boys scouts is pretty fucked up now. It certainly had its issues before, with pedo cases (not sure if 7k cases out of 110 million scouts is way out of proportion if compared to Catholic priests or youth pastors or teachers) but 2013 on has been a disaster.  I rolled with all the changes and clinched my teeth...as the allowing of girls was supposed to operate with girls separate from boys, but in practice, that is not the case IME.  I guess we will be camping, shooting, tying knots and learning about being a good citizen without their purview from here on out.

The Boy Scouts did an absolutely horrific job of even the most basic screening efforts to keep pedos out of the scouts, going all the way back to their founder.

     And it is even more fucked up now.  Like I said.

  I have enjoyed the fact that bad polls, a little real science, and war make masks and vax mandates go "poof".   Lets see...Pestilence, then war, I guess Famine is next up to bat in a few months?

With the deliberate spiking of input costs to fit the "green" agenda, we'll have food shortages soon enough, don't worry.

   The third world is about to take a monster hit on that food security.  Dipshit Biden himself said sanctions were also sanctions on the west and the USA.  I am not so sure starving people is going to be the great turn around on the poll numbers he was looking for.

If you've been following the news it absolutely is. They're already taking about impending food shortages.

Finish it off with nuclear death and I could be persuaded the Mayan Calendar was just off by a decade.

Oh look, Shasarak falling for more fake news. What a shock. I am completely stunned at this totally unexpected turn of events.

Seriously dude, do you ever critically think about stuff you read on the internet from randos?

Says the guy in a contest with Tubesock Amy for Forum Troll of the Year.....

It's not trolling to just say what I believe even if it's not popular, and even if there isn't a pack behind me cheering me on. Which is what you do. Don't get it twisted here Jeff. It's your views which are more commonly orthodoxy around here, not mine. There is nothing brave about you just repeating the same stuff almost everyone else around here already agrees with.

You parrot the narrative being pushed by the MSM, that's the very opposite of saying what's unpopular.

I wonder what the CDC is going to name the midterm variant?

Watching the lemmings dutifully mask up again is gonna be a hoot.

It's really not, when HERE is where I say it.  I am standing in a room full of people who despise the MSM. It's the least popular choice I could possibly make. YOU are the orthodoxy here. I am standing up to the orthodoxy here with my words. You think you're brave by repeating what the rest of your cheerleaders support here?

"I had followed very closely the literature on community masking prior to the pandemic in March, and when Fauci went on 60 Minutes the first time and said we don't know for sure you should wear a mask...I think that reflected what the consensus was in early March, which was the entire preexisting body of evidence was equivocal or negative about community masking, and that's why the WHO and CDC didn't recommend it initially.
