Foolish pandering to pressure groups by RPG companies that SHOULD know better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FYI – any images I use I cite “Fair Use” – privately hosted blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This BloggVs MaXXXimVs is an open letter of sorts to Dungeons and Dragons – and other major gaming companies who have or are contemplating getting \u201cWoke\u201d not just with foolish virtue signalling but with wholescale redesign of classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not directing it towards used toilet paper (One Man\u2019s Opinion) such as Zweihander, MonteCUCK publishing, Fate of Chthulhu – those that pretty much were WOKE from the start. Any Rainbow Unicorn Snowflakes? Go there. Play their games. Case in point, Zweihander has PILES of games and at least my local outlets NOT ONE sold in a year, a year before the virus\/lockdown thing. Buy it and play with other SNOWFLAKES – just don\u2019t mess with people who like OLD SCHOOL games. We ain\u2019t Munchkins anymore – but you are an insult to that term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, my question is for major gaming companies I used to like but now are modifying the silliest of things to pander to people who are not and will never be their customers – save \u2018therapy\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My argument is not really some rant on \u2018sacred\u2019 traditions from the 70s, 80s – but even before I get into censorship there\u2019s something that should have stopped this right off;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folk wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf it ain\u2019t BROKEN don\u2019t FIX it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was \u201cDungeons and Dragons\u201d never \u201cKlusaders and Kool Klansmen\u201d – and it was a fantasy game of other lands other times other worlds – beyond the fields we know, of sword and sorcery, rings and treemen and wizards, of dying earths and odd but satisfying spells\u2026 A love letter to fantasy, sci fi and pulps of yore and dreams of young men in changing times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was NEVER racist or Sexist. Oh, some things some have \u2018issues\u2019 with. FUCK THEM. Some have \u201cIssues\u201d with EVERYTHING. Cater to those and you\u2019ll have NOTHING. But I\u2019ll get to that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is the genre is a product of the 70s but progressive as with most players – BY FAR. Oh, sure some rare niche aberrations (F.A.T.A.L., RAHOWA – done much MUCH later) and this or that \u2018gaming group\u2019 might have issues – but by far most who played the game were as or more progressive of the times. TTRPGs tend to attract liberal people though old school liberal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the games base settings tended to be inspired but generic fantasy (and sci-fi, western, etc.) settings that could be springboards for adventure – and the DM and Players had fun in this shared fantasy. But the only way there were \u2018racist\u2019 or \u2018sexist\u2019 issues was from the people doing the game, not the setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus \u201cFixing\u201d things people complain is problematic is only alienating the core audience without doing ANYTHING to get NEW customers. But again getting to that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what gets me angry – what makes me really clamor for people to BOYCOTT D&D (and White Wolf) over pandering;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gamers need to be fantatical to defend FREE SPEECH and rabidly fight CENSORSHIP\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 80s taught us that lesson HARD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember the 80s? Well F— you if not, and if not BORN then or some silly excuse\u2026 LOOK – IT – UP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a quick in a nutshell we had the steady decline of America continuing despite the appearance of a deficit financed economic boom. People felt a little more better than in the 70s and if they didn’t blamed themselves and tried to work harder, make more $ for more toys. Kids were getting RAMMED to go to college and soon it\u2019d not be worth what a High School Diploma was worth in the 70s. The internet and computer culture was in its infancy though electronic based music had made huge strides. The record companies screamed about music being copied – though people used cassette tapes for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Dungeons and Dragons was popular, spawning TV shows, toys, competition\u2026 AND McCarthy on Acid stereotyping and libel\/slander by religious and political figures attacked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were in a dark time. On the edge of Nuclear War – the war-mongering actor president \u2018joking\u2019 about bombing Russia\u2026 AIDS was growing but because it was associated with Gays (and BLACKS) little was done. The S&L scandal had raped the heartland\u2019s savings and the country faced being taxed to pay for it or face another Great Depression – while the thieves ran like bunnies\u2026 This later funded a lot of the \u201cNeoConservative\u201d political push next decade\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and Televangalists were a bit worried. People were having less cash – especially the ones dumb enough to send money to them – and still trying to pretend they were prosperous coz \u2018Murika\u2026 All that silly money going to Disneyland\u2026 Heh – the \u201cDisney Boycott\u201d was a failure of the 90s, but same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They needed attention but might lose their tax exempt status if they got social issues because that\u2019s a hair\u2019s breath away from political issues. So, how to keep in mansions, yachts, distracting the \u2018official\u2019 wife with endless shoes while the Floozy gets the latest Jacuzi\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho\u2026could it be\u2026.? SATAN!?\u201d Yep. See the Devil everywhere, \u2018cept when you look in the mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when the country was being looted, when a \u201cBig disease with a little name\u201d was doubling again and again, when we were on the edge of Nuclear War as slowly the standard of living was sliding\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Before “Harry Potter: Gateway to Witchcraft” there was “Bothered about Dungeons and Dragons!”<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou CHILDREN are being lured to SATAN by Black Magick and witchcraft via the board game DUNGEONS and DRAGONS!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they filled the airwaves with speculation on the game causing kids to get into the occult via playing fantasy wizards\u2026 And about kids that killed themselves. Or committed crimes to buy more D&D books\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except it was all LIES.
And \u201cZombie Lies\u201d to use a term coined by Bill Maher recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t matter if they were untrue – they kept repeating them again and again till they seemed like the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case in point – the \u201cSteam Tunnel\u201d incident<\/a>.
A closet gay college student who maybe played the game a few times faked his suicide (fake letter, tried to start new life in other city) and the media rammed in he\u2019d played LARP stuff and got lost\/died\/killed himself in massive maintenance tunnels under universtiy\/town\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was the inspiration for the movie \u201cMazes and Monsters\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe scariest monsters are the ones in our minds\u2026\u201d – best line in a movie about ever. Too bad it was all FAKE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine that with the \u201cMacMartin Preschool\u201d prosecution (also complete lies that destroyed lives) \u201cRecovered Memory\u201d of \u201cRitual Abuse\u201d that led to people being jailed for imaginary crimes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well we had to hold on to our RPG books for DEAR LIFE. We had to FIGHT at every single F-ing level from the home, the school, college, retail, the workplace.. (yes boss, I play the game, no you don\u2019t need to fear I\u2019ll steal the stapler and no I won\u2019t sacrifice the office corgi to Satan, I promise\u2026 I just play with my college friends. You don’t pester Norbert from Accounting who comes in every Monday hung over and you advanced him $30K when he ended up in a foreign jail on his latest sex tour aka vacation…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company itself (and other RPG companies) had to hire lawyers, lobbyists, spend money on \u2018press\u2019 articles – all to defend themselves. And the same \u201cZombie LIES\u201d kept repeating and repeating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funniest highlight was Gary Gygax going on a news show. He\u2019d made sure they couldn\u2019t do other than show the ENTIRE interview, NO cuts. (ever watch a Simpsons – \u201cHomer Badman\u201d? That video treatment was epic, still is used) The long and short was that he pointed out that since D&D players had reached millions the science of \u201cRaw Statistics\u201d came into play. Overall the rates of suicide, crime, any other negative\/degenerate activity were microscopic compared to the rest of the population. When you pretend to be an ELF in the Basement of your friend\u2019s parents or his dorm room late into the evening\/weekend well that\u2019s less time to Drink, do drugs, seek casual sex – or kill yourself, commit crimes, attend black masses, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a battle that lasted the DECADE – and in part defined it.
Like, remember when GURPS got busted by the Fed Fuzz over its \u201cCyberpunk\u201d supplement. Even though ZERO advice on any real \u201cHacking\u201d in the book? IMO it was pure harassment designed to try to get them to shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOPE. Cold Dead Fingers.
One thing a liberal, \u2018soft\u2019, kinda left wing Old School Gamer has with a militant right wing GUN NUT\u2026 I could imagine the latter \u201cYou Swar you not into da Debil?\u201d – gamer \u201cNot in any way. Matter of fact I play a Paladin that SMITES them, kinda like old King Arthur stories\u2026\u201d Gun person \u201cWell, If you respect the Second Amendment I\u2019ll be for the First then\u2026though might not play yer game\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO – the gist of this is a gaming company that CUCKS to CENSORS is NOT worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I remember the Cuck Cuck CUCK of calling Devils Blaatezus for a while – you lost a bunch of customers to competitors, including those that didn\u2019t run from an artist drawing a nearly naked woman\u2026 Did any \u201cMoral Majority\u201d types start playing D&D – have a fantasy world where they could be Crusaders smiting Infidels? Nope, just \u201chah! We proved they were EVIL. Now to ask for more MONEY!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D&D, White Wolf – any legit \u201cGaming Company\u201d out there with any ties to the past – and the new ones\u2026 Do NOT cater to \u201cSocial Justice Warriors\u201d braying and screaming because they find things \u201cproblematic\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No you won\u2019t lose customers if you IGNORE them or even double down and make things WORSE\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the \u201cSTUPID\u201d on your part that really BURNS me – you\u2019ve had DECADES of \u201cMarket Research\u201d proving how pathetic, how WORTHLESS these Social Justice pieces of SHIT are – how catering to them will only COST you customers and not gain you one. How they\u2019ll only latch on and complain more. How if you are dumb enough to HIRE them (cough cough Monte CUCK games?) they\u2019ll drive down your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s go to memory lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First<\/strong> – in the wake of the emergence of Dungeons and Dragons, surely the old timers remember the \u201cPublishing\u201d world – those nice folks that printed all those books and magazines full of Fantasy, Science Fiction, Pulp that you read and enjoyed? Don\u2019t you remember how they were BORED of a pile of \u201cI wanna be the next Francis Knowlan\u2026\u201d predictable plots for decades – so they moved to the \u201cnew wave\u201d both exploring stuff they didn\u2019t dare touch (sex, radical politics, more dark issues) but also going into a Nihlist and bizzaro angle? So just as \u201cStar Wars\u201d and \u201cStar Trek\u201d made the genres go \u201cmainstream\u201d at last the people running from the movie house to the bookstore got boring, bizarro and alien stuff only fit for a VERY jaded editor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then they got WOKE and got BROKE to use a modern term – the head of DAW had a heart attack and his militant Feminst daughter took command. She cancelled (and allegedly blacklisted) Gor by John Norman and other books. And started publishing \u201cFeminist\u201d stuff – such as by Marion Zimmer Bradley – a \u201cFriend\u201d (allegedly more) from college. MZB at least was a solid 3 star writer – (Check out her daughter\u2019s tell-all book on what she did<\/a>) but they published tons of SHIT by token \u201cWriters\u201d that were plagarist at best – just \u201cI\u2019m imitating this famous plot but it\u2019s a woman as hero and uh all men, especially white men are pig squares\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The industry collapsed on itself – due to Lin Carter dying of Cancer with Ballantine books bankrupt and Warren having cancer also and deep financial troubles there was no \u2018fair competition\u2019. The industry shrank to a shadow of itself and STILL shits out \u201cWoke\u201d stuff, bashes past greats like Lovecraft but makes MONEY republishing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—bit simplistic, but I part lived this – I\u2019ll go into more detail later perhaps, when it won\u2019t make my head go boom to think about the STUPID\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second<\/strong> – Comic Books – the \u201cUnderground\u201d of the Sixties spawned what later became an \u201cIndependent\u201d comic scene in the 80s – besides bypassing the \u201cComics Code\u201d they did all sorts of neat stuff like expanding to \u201cAdult\u201d stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catering to complaints they put on \u201cLabels\u201d to make it clear that stuff that was for grown ups was NOT for kids\u2026 Did it help? Yep. When police wanted to go for a quick bust to ignore murderers and drug dealers who\u2019d fight back they avoided screaming \u201cLittle Lulu\u201d was obscene before a judge – those nice labels saved da Fuzz some embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Serious – people got jailed for having this on their store shelves… Guess it’s the only form of ‘respect’ the state gives any literary work. And thus it only respects porn…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Most will remember how mockingly absurd \u201cpolitical Correctness\u201d was in the 90s even though the 60s generation was so influential and people legit wanted a far more fair, more equal society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I\u2019ll skip to recent – like WEEKS ago and 100% related to RPGS\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cSocial Justice Warriors\u201d turned their hateful eyes to RPGs – with \u201corcs are RACSIT!\u201d whining about how Orcs were portrayed. \u201cOrcs = Negors\u201d etc. Obvious they didn\u2019t PLAY the games really, since \u201cDrow\u201d were more problematic – and when they went to that they didn\u2019t even scream right. It was nothing new – years back there was an article on this on the Shi-Tor.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However – overwhelmingly people reacted.
NEGATIVELY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Only SJW SNOWFLAKES ever seriously thought Orcs\/Drow were some kind of “Racist” statement – and they aren’t game players – just game INVADERS – comic by George Alexopoulos <\/a>– used with permission!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Old School Roleplayers like me remembered the 80s and how it taught us to FIGHT for our games – how important free speech and free expression was. How pathetic worthless fashionable rebels without a CLUE would jump on something, anything to give meaning to their worthless lives and attack something they thought couldn\u2019t fight back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And even more \u201cNew\u201d players, a different breed of \u2018liberal\u2019 and plenty \u2018conservative\u2019 etc. frankly did NOT like such slander on them and their hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They RAMMED this back to the \u201cSocial Justice\u201d crowd – as if it was the Divine Emperor GaiVs GermanicVs Caesar giving a \u201cBlessing\u201d at a wedding..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
All Heil the Divine Emperor CALIGULA!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And the SJWs slithered off crying.
This was WEEKS ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, regardless of \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d, the \u201cRiots\u201d etc. any modification to the game is WRONG. It\u2019s non-sequiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the record – G-d help me – I\u2019m \u201cLiberal\u201d though Old School – think influenced by Hippies, Yippies, etc. For LEGIT racial, sexual, social tolerance and progress but in no way, shape or form \u201cPolitically Correct\u201d. The modern \u201cHipsters of Hate\u201d are disgusting insults to everything legit progressives lived and died for. If I wrote a fiction of some evil media machine making a fake social group to disrupt progress and bait a backlash of real racism, sexism I could NOT do better than the \u201cSocial Justice Warrior\u201d save that reality TRUMPS fiction and no one would read it\/buy it it\u2019d be so ABSURD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next issue – kind a blends with the last but remember when YOU went out of your way to be sensitive?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll specify – \u201cOriental Adventures\u201d and \u201cAl Qadim\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worldbooks of adventure ideas set in a fantasy East – or also a Middle East – the \u201cArabian Nights\u201d as westerners imagine them\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You went out of your way to be \u2018culturally sensitive\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
I cite “Fair Use” of image – and a book cover is advertisement for the contents, enticement to buy. You should put this back in print…!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Great research was done to make the lands of \u201cKara-Tur\u201d an alternative world where lots of the cool things about the far East were done – but again second world so you weren\u2019t just ripping off or crudely playing someone\u2019s deeply held history or traditions. IMO if the world was a bit larger and \u201cKara-Tur\u201d existed next to Ancient China\u2026 Heh – well it captured the imagination – it was wildly popular with kids playing the game and a brilliant finishing of lots of old \u201cDragon Magazine\u201d articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Japanese!
They buy everthing!
Aaaaaiieee!
80s sentiment.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The press, any \u201cAsian\u201d groups\u2026
What is sound of NO hand crapping Glasshopper?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this was a time where you still had Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s as a celebrated movie, lots of scary\/goofy asian stereotypes on tv and in cartoons – where \u201cThe Japanese are BUYING the USA up!\u201d was reviving the \u201cYellow Peril\u201d. You bent over forwards to try to be fair and understanding. To not cheaply use Asian cultures – China, Japan, etc. but do tribute to them…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you bent over BACKWARDS for \u201cAl Qadim\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Again “Fair Use” though it FLOPPED. Big time. I thought it was awesome!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The work into it – characters wanted to play \u201cArabian Nights\u201d style adventurers. Oh, btw, those classic stories themselves are \u201cArabesques\u201d (aka \u201cSword and Sandal\u201d, \u201cDesert Punk\u201d) of other lands, other cultures, other times with far less accuracy. Aladdin, btw, is a China boy who\u2019s a slacker not an Arab Street Thief\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But stuff legit \u201cProblematic\u201d – such as there\u2019s lots of \u201cIn the name of A—- I tell this tale for there is no G-d but A—- and M— is his prophet\u2026.\u201d – saying that phrase 3 times if an adult you LEGALLY convert to Islam\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you went out of your way to make a \u201cLoregiver\u201d faith (Female prophet) that was 90% Islam and could fit into such a setting. But nothing that\u2019d directly insult\/play wrong with real world followers of the faith of Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is when 99.9% of all Americans only knew \u201cArabs\u201d and \u201cMuslims\u201d from our mass-media which never was kind. They were \u201cTerrorists\u201d in TV and new movies. Religious fanatics who inspired children to blow themselves up in crowds. In old movies they were decadent Oil Shayks and in those crumbling \u201cmen\u2019s adventure\u201d magazines on that old barbershop your grandpa dragged you to to remove that \u201cHippie\u201d haircut your parents let you wear they were the \u201cWhip Mad Shayk\u201d a degenerate pervert who lusted for WHITE WOMEN – (well all women but especially) for torture as much as unlimited sex\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serious – at the time D&D did that, THIS was the NORM…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Ilsa – coz she’ll make ya ILL, sah!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Well, that flopped, didn\u2019t it? No major sales despite all the art and time.
ZERO thanks from any Muslims for legit trying to be sensitive either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then forgotten save \u201cRPG Geeks\u201d like myself\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OH, and NOW the \u201cCancel Culture\u201d trying to get a company to get WOKE and go BROKE so they can smash someone else\u2019s TOYS – are savaging it. Yep, on top of Orcs, Drow now they scream about \u201cOriental Adventures\u201d despite being very old and out of print and sooner or later Al Qadim. Your attempt to CATER to these HIPSTERS of HATE only made an easy target for their VENOM – just like \u201cAdults only\u201d labels on comic books led Da Fuzz right in to what to put in the box so they don\u2019t have Little Lulu next to Bodysee\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So – D&D – have some RESPECT and do NOT cater to these \u201cWOKE\u201d screamers. They are \u201cHicksters out to strike it rich\u201d per the classic Donovan song (link) and care NOTHING save making money blackmailing you – excuse me – advising you and getting a salary to do nothing. Any \u201cSJWs\u201d and snowflakes, woke, special, exceptional, intersectional safe space people who they get to play are those SHAT there by their bored and on the edge of legit going nuts PSYCHO-therapists \u201cAt least I got patient \u2026 to socialize – give me that final check Mammon Insurance\u201d We do NOT want them in our games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes – it\u2019s \u201cGatekeeping\u201d but guess what – the head writer of Zweihander is also for it – as long as its him gatekeeping out people he doesn\u2019t like or banning people from his social media after he shits his hatred in their comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
OK so this is OK – when it’s “Social Justice Warriors” banning people, keeping them out of their ‘safe spaces’ which is now our RPG hobby!?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But we are supposed to pull in any “Snowflake” sent in via cheap THERAPY and bend the game to their flaky rules, work out “Consent Forms” so they can warn us of stuff that “Trigger” them!? They’ll still have their 20th level Cleric (while we get 1st level) jump into the PIT and then freak out if he’s not resurrected instantly… Then the game will be blamed…

Again – comic by George Alexopoulos <\/a>– used with permission!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fine – they don\u2019t want us to play Their games unless we agree 100% with people marching and RIOTING over some \u201cSocial Justice cause\u201d \u2026 yeh, \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d these snowflakes really believe that!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
White saviors are bad – except when they have PINK HAIR…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We do NOT need \u201cWoke\u201d people being turned into the “Norm” that gaming companies cater to. They ALREADY have that…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again – Zweihander, MonteCUCK games, etc. already have that niche. WOKE gaming. Tell them to GO there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not demanding you re-tool D&D to be deliberately racist and sexist – but do NOT ruin it bending it to a tiny fraction of people who will NOT be your customers in any shape or form<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and BTW – I’ll again cite \u201cMazes and Monsters?\u201d that old LIE HYPE movie that helped parents decide to BURN so many copies of D&D way back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well it was based on a LIE but these \u201cSnowflakes\u201d are a level LOWER than the fictional fragile broken man a young Tom Hanks played. The \u201cSteam Tunnels\u201d was <> D&D. But have you tried to interact with these \u201cSocial Justice\u201d characters – especially seen them in their \u201cSafe Space\u201d where they are racking up $100K debt for a \u201cGender Studies\u201d degree? They are a level LOWER. Even the stereotype of an old school gaming geek could laugh at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IF anyone is pathetic enough to let a fantasy ttrpg take over his life (or her or some other mixed gender\u2026gah!) and wanting attention from people sick of giving it actually kills himself this time – and it\u2019s connected to the game not them being a failure fuck-up and the media \/ religious types need a fresh VICTIM a Scapegoat\u2026 The DEVIL to hunt\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well that\u2019s probably the one lasting thing the \u201cSocial Justice\u201d crowd will accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And YOU will enable this by catering to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So – I do call for \u201cBoycott\u201d of modern Wizards of the Coast\/D&D stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plenty OLDER sets available – via used bookstores, online stores – file sharing sites. Plenty of ALTERNATIVES – Goodman Games – Korthalis publishing – Labyrinth Lord<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to top it off we can play the game we DAMN well see fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MY little side project – coming soon<\/a> – will be free gaming supplement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So go ahead – D&D, Wizards of the Coast, White Wolf…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get WOKE and go BROKE<\/strong> – just like the Video Games industry is doing… Alienate your core base by “Fixing” what was never “Broke” and file off all the rough edges to make a bland products that snowflakes might not whine they got a boo-boo from… Yeah, they’ll appreciate you… The people that work 3 Starbucks jobs to pay that “Gender Studies” degree will buy an ARMLOAD of RPG books at $40 each if they’ve been made “Sensitive” so SURE they will… It’s working SO good for the videogame industry, not spawning a sub-genre of Indie games and Pixel retro games and Steam to keep open did NOT allow ADULT ONLY games including tons of Japan imports that make the worst stuff (sexist, female objectification) in American media look tame… Why it’s just rumors spread by Incels or whatever that a major game had to DMCA like mad to try to supress incredibly negative reviews of a Zombie game and pay gaming sites to bridge the gap between “Critics” (they paid for) and the public for a time at 90% different because pandering to “Social Justice” they made a game that SUCKED but spent HOW many MILLIONS?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Too bad they can’t force people to BUY the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that’s the choice – don’t Fix what ain’t broken, make sure your real customers are ok – anyone whines you change it consider IF they’ll be customers to make up for it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OR – Just plain drive away Social Justice Warriors, make them SCREAM and drive up SALES with the attention they get you screaming and you standing for FREE SPEECH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seriously GATEKEEP out the SJWs from ANY mainstream games. They got Zweihander, MonteCUCK, EvilHat… They got their cookie – don’t let them demand OUR cookie is made gluten free with no nutz in case they bite and get allergies – they have their ‘special’ cookie and ‘safe space’ they need to GO THERE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIS is all an SJW will bring to an RPG…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
