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.

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.

And now the next thrilling installment of  "fuck you the objective facts don't matter" brought to you by The Big Purple. What a shit show lol.

TLDR Someone pointed out in the most minimal terms that a tribe in the Mythras book  Monster Island were Lizard People not humans (true) and caught a ban for it. Because racism n' stuff mkay.

And then it kicked off....

Everyone is Very Dissapointed.  ;D
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.

Racism against lizard people in the real world is a real issue with a horrible history.  When the conspiracy people can't blame the Jews they always shift to the lizard people.  When oh when will the lizard people know justice?!

I tried to live and let-live with the Lizard people. I even tried romancing a Lizard lady, but ended up with egg on my face.

If they've got nothing to hide, why do they wear Human disguises, and only show up in freeze-framed TV recordings?

Remember, a Lizard is just a snake with delusions of grandeur.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

May be it is the Purple Lizard people David Icke was warning as about?

Can we just go back to when complete parody of cultures was ok. I honestly lose a bit respect for people who can't take a harmless stereotype or joke at the expense of their own culture.

Here's Asterix and Obelix in front of some "vikings". Should I be offended?



But of course usually, it's not the people of that culture who are offended. It's a bunch of SJWs who have outrage as a hobby, perhaps howling around one or two easily offended "ethnic" persons at best.

Because that person is obviously a SJW, Arachne has to hop in and say "you're right, although you're sorta wrong, I mean you're 100% right, although you're wrong" to paraphrase a bit  ;D

My favorite was people started questioning the ban about pointing out the lizardmen and that it made no sense. The mod response? Lock the thread and say they're in discussions about who else to ban for questioning their ban.

It’s an “A-game” thread. Anyone participating in that thread should know that an A-game thread is nothing more than TBP’s equivalent of the Two Minutes of Hate. Any deviation from the hate exercise reduces its impact as a brainwashing opportunity for the Woke cult, and will be punished. Not even for anything actually objectionable, but for disrupting the hate exercise by introducing any kind of nuance or actual true conversation.

THIS! THIS IS IT!

It is obvious that the ban didn't make sense, and the mods were exposed by the posters commenting about it. Some heads will roll for this ;D ;D ;D

The above link give the official explanation, but it’s bullshit. The will not tolerate any actual thoughtful conversation as that would subvert its actual purpose of being Two Minutes of Hate.
