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.

Yeah, the problem at this point is that the left has reframed all disagreement as violence.  Don't want to defund the cops?  You want to genocide all black people.  Don't feel comfortable with a transwoman getting naked next to your daughter in the gym locker?  You literally want that person to DIE, you monster.  So of course they have to throw these violent insane people off of their forum, or next thing you know they'll say there's only two sexes, KILLING the other forty-nine genders.  They must be stopped before they can enact their terrible genocide.

That's not to say that the right won't also engage in hyperbole, relatively milquetoast positions on here have gotten our lefty population accused of arguing in bad faith or outright lying, but they aren't being banned as Bolsheviks who want to murder all cis white people.  That distinction is important, I believe.

  In fairness to lefties, if a dude confused about being a girl is allowed to shower with my daughter there is going to be a bit of violence.
By the time she hits her college years (maybe sooner), your daughter may do it just to piss you off.

   Thanks for the advice, I will put it in the "Advice from childless lonely men" folder.
You're misfiling it, but it's yours to do with what you wish.

I don't think so, HippyDirt. Having kids changes your outlook. Hell, having pets changes your outlook.
I can say from experience that kids will get rebellious and do some stupid shit sometimes just to piss off their parents. If that's somehow difficult for you to imagine, I can't help you.

Do schools even do the shared shower thing anymore? I thought that went out of style?

What if the guy has long hair, high pitched voice, tits, no dick but a artificial vagina without a uterus?
What if, unless someone told you, there was no way you could tell?

  Then his parents are the worst child abusers known to allow a transistion before adulthood.  ANY of the bathroom/locker room discussion regards school age kids, so not seeing your point.

So you would beat up a prepubescent child? Or a teenager? That's what you saying? So brave.

Once more can you quote him saying he's going to beat, etc the dude?

No, you can't, and you choose the least charitable interpretation because you're a dishonest leftoid twat.

Or maybe the violence is directed at who allowed it to happen?

Isn't that also a possibility?

Or is it mandatory to jump to accusations of istophobia?

Sorry, but no. This is as woke as it gets. Using violence against speech is fascist - and yet this is what is happening all over the English speaking world (for now) starting with university campuses. Check Berkley 2017 for the unbelievable level of violence against a speaker from the alt-right.

The argument that words can be violence is based on a false syllogism. "If words can cause stress, and if prolonged stress can cause physical harm, then speech can be a form of violence." I'm tired of hearing this. True, if A can cause B and B can cause C, then A can cause C. Therefore, if words can cause stress and stress can cause harm, then words can cause harm, but that does not establish that words are violence. It only establishes that words can result in harm. Just rerun the syllogism by swapping in "breaking up with your girlfriend". This can provoke stress in her, and stress can cause harm. That doesn't mean that it is a violent act. Beating up your girlfriend, OTOH...

If you think that words are violence, and react accordingly, then you are only a puppet in the hands of the first stray troll - or, even worse, a woke.
