Separate everything else, what kind of name is "Quasar" for a swords & sorcery character...and a woman?

I think it’s just something that sounded fantastical (possibly from an online name generator). It sounds out-of-place to a modern person who knows what a quasar is (or at least knows that it’s a space thing) but it’s really too inherently non-S&S and with all the problems with the backstory it’s pretty far down the list.

Unfathomably based but it raises the question; how does Price keep meeting these people? You work for one goosestepping homophobic mafioso, honest mistake, but it's like every controversy across the industry she comes out and is like "Oh yeah I never mentioned this before but I too once overheard Mike Mearls mumbling to himself about reconquest of the rhineland."

Funny that she's lauded as some brave martyr to the SJW cause when she only ever makes these accusations when she's no longer employed by the company. I believe she's probably mixed some truth in there, but that makes it worse in a way because it shows she's only willing to be a whistle-blower when she's personally unaffected.

Plus she's undoubtedly lying, exaggerating, taking out of context and painting in the worst light every single thing she can, because that is a playbook we've seen time and time again, and not just from her. But she's only willing to deal with it when she's no longer benefiting from it. How ... expected.

Or when she's suffered a narcissistic injury that demands revenge, and being completely incompetent, she is inevitably going to be called out by any employer who wants work done.

So, apropos of nothing, Jake drops in, "you are absurdly a girl." Jake claims that reporting his blood work results, a board-certified endocrinologist told Jake that he is "absurdly a girl." I'm sure the endocrinologist had a question about the endocrinological status of absurdly a girl on their board certification exam. It definitely sounds like medical language and not something a medically illiterate buffoon would invent.

This recent example of Jake implying that he is hyperfeminine is a continuation of Jake's claim that someone described him as "effortlessly hot." Again, everyone that says good things about Jake happens to imitate Jake's language patterns.

Jake is trying to do something like "catfish," but not with photos that aren't of him but with deceptive textual descriptions.

So it seems like today is a day where a lot of people are sharing experiences working for a certain company and ways that that might suck if you're queer or a woman. I definitely don't have the sort of stories a lot of people do, but I was absolutely around to witness plenty of the over the top things higher profile people have been bringing up. So screw everyone trying to discredit them, and there's a special place in hell for the many people I see trying to discredit them by reviving ridiculous old nazi playground rumors about people from 7 years ago. Anyway, if I'm just talking personal experience, mine there mostly just involves having my foot repeatedly slammed in the door.

It's weird to get into how long I've worked in the RPG industry because technically I think it's "since the 90s" or so, but I made a clean break when I transitioned. Stuff I worked on under my deadname and people I worked with do not get to come and play anymore. I started over from the bottom with a blank resume in like 2014, 2015, somewhere in there, getting some general encouragement to pester someone at this company I'm not explicitly mentioning in this thread because I don't want people dragging it out years from now or something. Anyway the basic path laid out for getting in doing freelance was, talk to X about going some real barebones gruntwork stuff filling in monster stats and extra mechanical options in the like, prove you have a good handle on things and can hit a deadline, then someone should mention you're reliable to Y, who handles the work assignments for the sort of thing you actually want to get into doing.

And sure more than reasonable. I set about doing that and I'm reasonable sure it's all OK. Nothing really eye catching because it's all stuff on the very technical side of things and any interesting flavor I work into something is likely getting cut to fit art at the last minute or whatever, but hey. This is just showing X and Y I'm meeting a standard. Except there was just some restructuring right after I turned that over and neither X nor Y are in those positions anymore. It's Z and W, and they have no notes on me. And then there was more restructuring, and more, and more. Very unstable industry, games. So here I am a number of years later with my work in I dunno, over a dozen books I think just at this one company, but I'm not sure anyone I've ever worked with as a developer on those is still even on staff at all except for this one assignment that kinda fell through in edition swap chaos, so with that angle I'm fairly sure I'd still be starting from rock bottom and who knows who I'd even e-mail?

Meanwhile, for a while, I was applying for an actual on-staff position, which you know, would help keep people from forgetting who I am and make the work more consistent and pay at least minimum wage. The freelance stuff is one-off contract work you see, paying X cents a word, where X varies but is generally always "obscenely insultingly low next to any other form of paid writing that exists," especially with this company, and in some cases I had to wait literally over 2 years to even get those checks. Problem with the full time staff jobs though is that while I had plenty else on my resume there was a consistent sticking point I recall seeing of having some minimum amount of experience with the Organized Play side of things. And... yeah, so the thing there is I'm a trans woman.

See, with RPGs, there's playing games in the usual way, where you have a group of friends sit down and play a game together all relatively casually, and then you have Organized Play, where following more rigid standards some people make some characters and go to like conventions and promotional in-store events and such where very specific and again rigidly laid out adventures are run and there's extra accounting and signing off on record sheets so you can drag the same character around to different events and play in different random pickup games with total strangers.

Now, again. I am a trans woman. Playing RPGs in large public venues and random game stores is not generally something I am going to do, because that is the absolute perfect recipe for ensuring I deal with constant extreme harassment and bigotry in an environment where I have to sit there and take it all with a smile. And the semi-fan organizational end of that particular company's Organized Play bit has also had some incidents with harassment higher up the chain I'm told so, that never worked out (which... I guess spared me from getting hit on by a creep then snubbed then fired then stuck without a job in one of the highest cost of living parts of the country).

The other option, and really the only way anyone ever actually gets work in games, is of course "networking." Which is kind of code for "go to GenCon and go to bars and have some drinks with people who can offer you jobs and get them to like you."

So, first off the fact that I DO NOT drink is a pretty big barrier there. Being trans is another. I believe I've told the story before yes of when I was at GenCon, and someone had the bright idea to organize a little side event, privately inviting "all the women" in attendance to network without having to deal with getting hit on by creepy dudes, and I got snubbed? That was fun. And just being a woman who isn't into men in an industry that's nearly all men with plenty of loose grips on consent is also not great. Which isn't to say I haven't done face to face networking at cons. I don't want to name names but there's a few industry people who have made time to meet up at these things (generally now formerly of that company) both before and after I got myself to a place where I feel at all comfortable being seen in public, and thanks a ton for that, but I'm still not getting my career off the ground that way, you know?

And then of course there's not-so-face-to-face networking, which is... a BIT better? I'm on I think fairly friendly terms with I'd say a significant portion of the portion of the tabletop game industry that has a presence on this site, but I'm also highly radioactive and nobody wants to be seen near me. You can't even look up my CV. Search for "Violet Hargrave" and you get a bunch of weird stalker garbage (and probably a ton of twitter accounts to report for impersonation for that matter). If you do find a database listing credits on things most of those have had nazis go in and wipe my name off everything I've worked on, and I don't think any list any accurate contact info or anything. Ask around about me here and you are REAL likely to run into someone "highly respected" who will tell you with a straight face that I'm like a nazi or a child molester or I murdered their best friend, because smearing random trans women with horrific lies is the internet's favorite pastime.

And I don't wanna even get into the whole laundry list of weird discriminatory crap involved when I was briefly involved with someone's livestreamed campaign, sorta for that company except to say it kicked off with a debate on whether I should be forced to play a male character because someone didn't think my voice sounded sufficiently feminine and "people might be weirded out" and things only got worse and more humiliating from there.

I found the scale that Jake's endocrinologist is using.

(Yes, these are all Jake Alley's words and phrases.)

Jake still can't get his story straight. Jake is "absurdly a girl", "effortlessly hot" and all trannies generally are indistinguishable from natal women, and at the same time, he does not pass as a woman and is identifiable as a tranny. His followers are so brain fucked and submissive that they never point out this blatant contradiction that recurs in Jake's tweets.

xhqM5BYbL_3 (2).png


This is another manifestation of Jake's 20-year NEET lifestyle and his social isolation. In a bar, there is no obligation to consume alcoholic beverages. All bars offer soft drinks. The real reason why he would never enter a bar now is that he knows he doesn't pass and that he looks ridiculous. He would get laughed at because he looks like a pig in a wig.

Is he saying that he abandoned work he was contracted to do because he was afraid he'd get raped? What are the "3 really close calls the month before"? He's trying to imply that he was almost raped, isn't he?

Jake again shows us how much of a lazy retard he is. If he installed an email client on his PC he could access all of his email accounts from one place. Downloading, installing, and configuring an email client is just too much work for poor Violet. In any event, he has an abundance of free time. He can log into each account at least once a day. He's pathologically lazy.

Can't look it up at this very moment, but yes, this is also my recollection. He whined about needing someone to come help him fill out paperwork and read e-mails so he could get paid.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those e-mails were Paizo asking him to do the incredibly minimal paperwork so they could do their books properly. Even if Paizo was run like complete shit I imagine their accounting department doesn't want outstanding uncashed checks to sit around for literal years. Jake was actively fucking them over all for the purposes of himself not getting paid.

That is my vague recollection also.

He has said that his Gmail account is unusable because of "DDoS" (in quotes because Jake doesn't know what DDoS is). His evidence of "DDoS" was an image of his inbox, which showed many Twitter receipts for the complaints he has lodged against Twitter users. The solution is to stop reporting Twitter accounts or delete the receipts (quickly because they all have a standard source address and subject heading format).

He has also tweeted that he needs someone to send his resume because he can't bring himself to press the "Send" button.

He said he wanted someone to come over and empty his cats' litter boxes because he was not doing it. Shortly after this, his mother took one of the two cats back home with her. This is what he described as his cat being "kidnapped." His mother must have seen that he was neglecting the cats and took appropriate action. Ideally, Jake should have no cats.

Jake is a lazy fat fuck. I am convinced he has trooned out because he thinks becoming a woman is a significant step towards getting more things without working. Jake was raised by a single mother who paid the mortgage and all the bills and went into 30K USD debt to manufacture his shit TTRPG. But Jake refuses to model any of his mother's behavior. Rather than say (and I know this sounds ridiculous), "I will be an independent woman with a job and work ethic just like my mother," he has decided to model online troon behavior. I think that Jake thinks his mother doesn't know how to "woman" correctly and that if she did, she would not need to work. Men aren't throwing money at Jake's mother because she is doing the whole woman-thing poorly. Regarding gender transition, he has never used his mother (or aunts) as a reference point for femininity.

Jake never publically acknowledged anything that his mother had done for him and he has repeatedly referred to her as his "abuser". The closest he has come to expressing gratitude towards his mother was on his blog where he described her as "hospitable", and this was pre-troon Jake Alley.

Jake took to trannyism because he had an affinity for online troon behavior, it fitted his predisposition to idleness. No work, e-begging, Patreon, repetitive plaintive social media posts, "spoons", CPTSD, competitive feigned suffering, and suicide baiting were behaviors Jake could imitate within the framework of being a shiftless parasite. Online trannies gave Jake new concepts and words that would assist him to justify his pre-existing NEET lifestyle. He could now give his mother compelling--as he sees it--reasons why he shouldn't work.

Jake is a lazy asshole.

I liked the bit where he implied it's not a big deal if straight women get raped, only lesbians. Or is it that only lesbians get raped? I can't tell, but assault is obviously worse for Violet than anyone else.
