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.

Quote from: Armchair Gamer;942425I suspect that they're using the Old School Progressive definition of fascism--"any political opinion to the right of 'Uncle Joe.'" ;)

What has me a bit disturbed by that is actually that these degenerates believe it is acceptable to walk up and beat anyone they see as 'fascist'.  That term will likely be as flexible as 'racism' or 'harassment' in a few months.

Considering that the feral left spent much of its time mocking these very same people for having guns, I do not think this will last very long.

Quote from: Crüesader;942382These dumbasses wouldn't know 'fascism' if Benito put on his best jack-boots and curb-stomped their face into a dictionary between 'failure' and 'fuckwit'.  It is a real word with real meaning, and it is not interchangeable with "Militant", "Conservative", "Mean", "Patriotic", or "Dad".  

I'm not sure the word ever had anything but a very slippery meaning.

Just out of curiousity - are you referring to Rafu's apology in response to my post there? Rafu is the poster first quoted in this thread, but he's not the OP in the Story Games thread.

That's a pity; I was going send a link Elise, Ernie, Luke, Alex and Heidi to the thread and let them contact the OP directly about whether or not their father was a fascist.

Oh well, there's always next time.

The OP did not apologize.  Someone else did.

I bet everyone of the fuckers decrying  facism in rpgs were cheering on  the uniformed and masked thugs marching and smashing windows during the inauguration.

Also, let's keep this thread on topic please. No veering into larger discussions of politics outside the game hobby.

I could even taste the humble!

I don't understand how this anti-heroic thing even works with any RPG. I know gamers in LA who play narrative RPGs and they absolutely play heroic characters doing kill-the-orc for whatever reason, but using their wank ass narrative mechanics. I used to know some gamers who were into "misery tourism" stuff, and even they were into heroic PCs when they did their "doomed teens in Warsaw" games.

I think I'm missing something and I require some information and opinions here- but what is it with every time I see something stupid, the term 'storygamers' comes up?  What is it with the storygamers?  I've never played one or encountered anyone playing one, but quite honestly every one of these batshit opinions comes from there.  What is it with those games that cultivates this mindset?
