SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

And I just noticed there was an Anti-Vaxxer Thread, and fuck me this is a Right-Wing Forum.

Y'know what, let's all save some time.  I'm clearly not Left-Wing enough for RPG.Net, and I know I'm not Right-Wing enough for THIS Site, so go ahead and Perma-Ban me now.  I know I won't be visiting again.  Bonsoir.

Pretty sure this won't age well.

Note how he's been conditioned to believe that if he doesn't have ideological conformity with a forum that means he'll be permabanned. The conditioning lonewolf23k is showing is not by accident.

(I'm pro-vax, but never thought there had to be a purity stance based on what others here thought, and I'm not bothered into fleeing by some disagreement.)

I'm pro-vaccine. I don't wanna get rabies, or lockjaw, or meningitis.

I'm not pro-whatever-the-fuck-the-covid-shots-are, though.

My goodness, that escalated quickly.

I'm not saying that vaccines are bad, and there's certainly a whole lot of disinformation about the shots. I guarantee you they don't make you magnetic or emit a bluetooth signal.

But at the same time I know enough game design to know what incentives do. If you give a pharmaceutical company an EUA absolving them of 100% of the liability and give them $20 per shot, they will not recall products which fail a cost-benefit analysis. And news companies which advertise pharmaceutical products (the Legacy Media) have an undisclosed conflict of interest which will prevent them from reporting this accurately.

Well said. They have every incentive to cram the gene-therapy shots into our systems regardless of any dangers there may be.

I am most certainly not anti-vax! I even got the 1st covid shot as soon as it was available, being in an age group that has some concerns, but the more real data I got the less I wanted boosters. And haven't. Then I actually caught covid, it was barely a very mild cold.

Contrary to what they told you, you cannot get Covid from an "anti-vaxxer" thread on a forum.
Neither can you get the cooties.

Today a lady parked behind me while I was waiting to pick up my kid from school. She was wearing one of those face diapers. In her car. By herself.

The brainwashing and conditioning is so deep there is no hope of ever reaching these people. They are too far gone. Now we understand how every totalitarian regime ever has put a society under its thumb. We saw it. Here. In America. The "land of the free". Free no more.

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.

He cast his eyes upon the light of freedom, and promptly crawled back into the cave.

The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

But he might be exposed to different ideas, which is far more terrifying to his kind.

Yep. That's why no one in our vaccination threads ever claimed that seriously.
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.
