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.

If a thread doesn’t get marked as an A-Game it does present an opportunity to interrupt the Two Minutes of Hate that might be starting up in a thread. This thread, for example, was using the premise that capitalism was bad for the environment with the apparent intent of letting everyone get a ‘Hate-On’ against capitalism:

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/is-capitalism-actually-terrible-for-the-environment.884412/

A few pointed out that far worse environmental disasters occurred at the hands of the communists with examples, which messed with their Two Minutes of Hate. A few of the other anti-capitalism posters even started to try use the canard “that wasn’t real communism”. The mods, shut the thread down because they were worried about the direction on the thread, meaning they didn’t like the pushback against the OP’s premise, and the arguments were making some of their terrible friends look terrible.

If another similar thread gets started I wouldn’t be surprised if the mods find a rationale for labeling the new thread as ‘A-Game’, and thus have clearance to ban anyone who argues counter to the premise.

LOL. Evidently TBP can't handle 'Y: The Last Man'.

"The mods are closing this thread for, quite frankly, a horrid assortment of issues mainly coming from the comic itself and it's treatment of marginalized people. Please do not start another thread about the show or comic without mod approval."

One schmuck ate a 30-day for talking about how good it'd be that all the males were dead.

Meanwhile, CK! gets a warning and threadban for taking offense over another poster's interpretation of the Pendragon rules:

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ck-receives-a-%F0%9F%94%B4-warning-and-threadban.885320/

I'm surprised they allow Pendragon to be discussed at all, considering how nonwoke the game is.

I wonder how they would react to a thread about 'The Screwfly Solution' then.

Holy shit, I've read that story and it was disturbing as hell.

But yeah, they'd lose their minds.

"The mods are closing this thread for, quite frankly, a horrid assortment of issues mainly coming from the comic itself and it's treatment of marginalized people. Please do not start another thread about the show or comic without mod approval."

It is worth mentioning that the comic book consistently enjoyed both critical and public acclaim since it was published back in 2002-2008; and that, as a 60 issues series, the plot goes well beyond the premise.

I do not think that the mods know the original comic book at all. Not that this would surprise me ::)

Well, yes, it did. As tales go it wasn't a bad yarn.

But remember, if they actually read the comic they might let doubleplusungoodthink into their brains.

Are they allowed to read anything other than Das Capital and works by Te-Nehisi Coates?

Not surprising, in that comic any animal with a Y chromosome dies, except the sole man.

Therefore trans-Men don't die and Trans-Women do die therefore contradicting the cult's dogma that Trans-Women are Women and Trans-Men are Men.

How dare the author recognize actual biology!!!!!!

White fragility for starters must be a mandatory read.

They haven't read it no, but they know enough to know it contradicts part of their cult's dogma.

I'll give RPG.net moderation props, if they're going to be a bunch of banhappy assholes anyway, for slapping down a really offensive post.

But then they shut down the thead because... reasons...

For the true believers of the Woke “Transmen are men, and transwomen are women” is for a practical purposes a mantra that gets repeated in the hopes that doing so will actually make it true. The more cynical of the bunch use it as an Orwellian means to verbally smash the boot into humanity’s face.
