RPGnet's decay (TBP madness)

[Fergurg]

  So much for being loud, proud, and stunning and brave I guess.  If you are the sodomy sort, wtf would you move to a country that criminalizes it?

I mean, if you're the conservative sort, why would you stay in the US where you see the woke boogeyman around every corner?

Simple - if the U.S. falls to the woke, the world falls. There is no place to run to.

This presumes the US has not "fallen to the woke." Putting that aside, so you think if the US becomes more woke, then Uruguay will necessarily also become woke?

Basically, this guy, Moritz, wants to have some of his posts and threads deleted because they could "get [him] in trouble". When you consider that TBP's side is the believers of tracking down what a person said a long time ago to punish and humiliate, it's understandable. I can't search his posts (they banned me for pointing out that the FBI found "hands up, don't shoot" to be a lie back in 2016), but anybody else want to? After all, if "accountability" is to be consistent - along the lines of forcing the enemy to play by their own rules - then Moritz clearly has things that he is covering up.

Yes, the mod says, licking her lips. Show us your violations so we can help you....cleanse....them...mooohahaha.

I think he has something like over 14,000 posts. Is he asking the mod team to go through them all. I think he still has the ability to edit his own posts. Why can't he do this himself?

Well then it shouldn't take the mods long to come across something retro-verboten and ban him/her/them/ver/xem.

I think it's just "I'm LGBTQ+ and living in a foreign nation which doesn't like my kind" sort of thing. Previously they were anonymous but they're about to start a podcast and don't want to be outed by prior posts in a nation that tends to criminalize certain LGBTQ+ stuff.

Isn't that the german guy who converted to Islam to marry a turkish girl?

I mean, if you're the conservative sort, why would you stay in the US where you see the woke boogeyman around every corner? Why not follow Pundit to Uruguay where it seems things are not as bad regarding those kinds of issues? I imagine your answer is similar to this person's answer - there are a lot of reasons to be somewhere which take a higher priority than "There's a lot of people who don't like me here."

  Seeing as my family...out to about 300+ years has been in the USA and built this wonderful nation for others to enjoy....I think staying is also a choice.   If my wife would do it I would already be in Ecuador.  But this is MY nation.  People not liking him is a shit load different than being a criminal due to sodomy.  So I am not sure I buy this as any sort of actual comparison.   As for seeing woke around every corner, no it seems there are only a small very loud, very degenerate handful screeching non stop that men are women and that is settled science.  I think the time for those honoring themselves over such nonsense (celebrating mental illness as some virtue) is soon to come to an end.

  That would make much more sense than being LGBTQ+ and moving to a nation where he would be a criminal for existing.

Yeah the country has been through much worse than this culture war in that period of time.

There's no comparison between 50% of the people in the country "don't like me here" and moving somewhere you might be imprisoned or even executed.  Anyway, if you're the left-wing sort, why stay in a country where you see Nazis around every corner?  The paradises of China, North Korea, and Cuba  beckon.  Better yet, the anarchist paradise of Somalia.  No government there except for your local warlord -- just like CHAZ.

How does this position mesh with the other thread wherein it's being argued people are being imprisoned and denied work and other ordinary freedoms for refusing to get vaccinated? Sure sounds like "woke people have turned me into a criminal" type stuff that, according to your logic, is more than enough to gtfo of a nation over?

I was lazily checking that one when I stumbled into this by a certain Grumpygoat...

"Meanwhile, with Call of Cthulhu, the game implicitly assumes that characters who are curious and open to the world are just...deluding themselves, I guess. It's a setting that actively enforces an isolationist, anti-intellectual xenophobic mindset through many applications of its SAN mechanic and through its analogies to mixed-race people and non-white Christian cultures."

OK, the usual word salad against anything HPL, but... What is wrong with non-white Christian cultures?? Do you hate Copts??

Anyone who uses an Admiral Holdo avatar is pretty much giving the game away right there...

   They do, if not consciously--I remain convinced that hatred of Christianity is the underlying creed of TBP, although largely unconscious at this point--but they can't admit that. It appears "white Christian" was the shibboleth being modified by "non-" as a single phrase, rather than "non-white" modifying "Christian", but they need the qualifier because their self-image as Defender of BIPOC and Other Oppressed Minorities trumps (at least consciously) their Christophobia.
