RPGnet's decay (TBP madness)

[oggsmash]

 Strange a gaming forum thinks it is such a great thing to ban a president or talk of him considering HALF THE COUNTRY supports him.  These people are delusional.

The 'Far Right' is a terrifying mass on the brink of overthrowing the nation, or an insignificant tiny group of losers in mom's basement, depending on what the narrative requires. Much like women are badasses worthy of Special Forces and SWAT, while simultaneously needing Victorian levels of special treatment and protections.

LOL that thread. Those people are insane.

Containment. It's the best we can do. Contain them over there, so we can keep track of them. Like sheep or hamsters or such. They have their little dystopia and people with an iota of self-respect will figure out how it works and will leave.

Yes. Your IQ goes up, when you leave the Big Purple.

I see they've either locked down or removed the infraction forum from public view. Probably to clean stuff up for the new boss.

Pity, I enjoyed reading the latest madness from time to time.

Yup, a guy I know who is still active on there says they've hidden it....kinda like Tangency.

That sums it up nicely.
Women are also sexually aggressive......but don't you dare look at them and find them sexy.

I posted on RPGnet a few times but it was quite boring. There was a thread complaining about people who think that unplanned character death in RPGs isn't a horrible idea. The reasoning is that the sudden death of vital characters ruins storytelling and causes emotional distress to players. I don't like it when my characters dies, but if you're going to have a meltdown about it, you shouldn't be playing in the first place.

Trump isn't even that different from any other president. He just fell into the Dems crosshairs and since Romney* they know no restraint in how they attack a candidate.

*Maybe even earlier? I wasn't that interested in politics back then.

[Theory of Games]

So.

Big Purple banned Trump & his politics from their site. Now they're banning people who don't want real-world politics at their table.

Pot meet Kettle.

You can talk about Trump.  You just can't post anything that supports Trump.  In the same way, you can talk about incidents involving the police but you can't post anything that supports the police.

You are supposed to pretend that mild discomfort or annoyance are SEVERE EMOTIONAL DISTRESS and causes terrible trauma to players.

The more I read about how the Leftist worldview and Narcissistic/Borderline Personality Disorders are interrelated I have to conclude it's not pretend... they are actually so mentally ill that what would be mild discomfort or annoyance to a normal person is actually too much for them to cope with.

In past generations they would have been locked away in institutions for their own good and the good of society. Now they're free and demanding we indulge their mental illnesses as truth.

Unfortunately for them, I'm not a good liar...

I think I still have an account there. I have a habit of never logging out of any website. I'll hop on and see what they're talking about now.

I don't see a lot of new wokist topics every day on rpg.net, but it's still there. Here's proof.

[Armchair Gamer]

That thread gives the impression that Pathfinder 2E has made it at least implicit that one cannot be socially conservative and of Good alignment. Is that accurate? (Asking out of curiosity; I disliked Paizo back when they were running the magazines. )

Not quite on topic, but RPG Pub was holding a death watch for the 'site.  I thought how it was like a wake, and had a second thought - twice in one day even! I was going to post this link when this site re-opened, but a mod closed that thread before I could post - So I'll post it here:
