Greetings!
I don't agree on a number of issues with Grim Jim. None the less, I have always liked Grim Jim. I wish him the best. However, honestly, and Grim Jim as much as admits it himself, Grim Jim is unfortunately naïve. "Politics is Personal"! Is what the Liberal, Feminist students in my Women's Studies classes used to say, over and over. Politics is in everything--and everything is political for those that have been brainwashed by Liberal Marxism and the SJWism. The "Culture War" is a reality, contrary to what some deluded morons want to desperately believe. The Culture War is in everything, and will continue to be so. The Marists want to overthrow, taint, and corrupt everything in society, and otherwise ensure that they *control* everything and every institution in society. Anyone that doesn't wholeheartedly embrace the SJW/Marxist ideology is an enemy that must be destroyed--in every way, by all means necessary.
There isn't any "Conversation" or "Rapprochement" to be had with these people. The Liberal SJW's have been utterly brainwashed by Marxist ideology. They hate everything that normal people love and cherish, and want all of their enemies and opponents destroyed. The SJW Marxists are similar to weird religious cults, and believe with revolutionary zeal that they are on a vast, glorious crusade to fundamentally transform all of society, to establish the Marxist foundations of a new Marxist, Globalist "Utopia". These kinds of political and social struggles are going on all over the world, in various places and in various ways.
There is no running away from it. There is no hiding out away from it. The hour is at hand to decide where in the fight each and every individual will stand in the struggle to come, in the struggle going on all around us now, from every corner of society.
The idea that gaming is just a simple hobby to supply entertainment and "escapism" amongst friends and reasonable gamers--that's nice, but that sentiment is a relic of a past age, a time long gone now. The SJW's have set their sights on infiltrating gaming as a hobby, to subvert it, corrupt it, and destroy it, as we know of it. If anything of it is to survive, it is only a mutated, corrupted form that is remade and reshaped into the politically-pleasing and ideologically conforming husk that further serves the SJW's as a vehicle to reinforce and propagate their own ideology in transforming the masses. That is the reality.
This terrible ideological and cultural fight has now come to TTRPG's--but it isn't some hyperbole. The SJW's have infiltrated board-games, comics, movies, books, and even *Knitting* for fuck's sake. Yes, there have been entire online communities of *KNITTERS*--hundreds of thousands of knitters, quilters, hobbyists, whatever, that have had their communities *destroyed* by SJW's, and the ensuing bitter fights over feminism, racism, transgenderism, "privilege", "representation", socialism, and on and on. Online communities that existed successfully for many years in relative joy and harmony, were subverted, corrupted, and destroyed in short order after the arrival and infiltration of SJW's. So, the culture war is very real, and has spread everywhere.
People need to wake the fuck up to how serious this all is. It is only going to intensify.
Semper Fidelis,
SHARK
