Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

[Ledian]

"Those changes, published in the supplement Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything in November 2020, amount to a suggestion that players ignore the rules previously laid out in the fundamental Players’ Guide and do whatever you want — laying the burden on players to fix a game that may reject them within its very text."

This, right fucking here is why we should've gatekept the fuck out of this hobby. RPG rules themselves are suggestions, and all the normies and troons that Mercer brought in never got that. You can run literally any game you want, do whatever you like, canon be damned. We certainly didn't need a goddamn splatbook to tell us this. But that's not enough for these Critical Role fans. No, we need to use the rules to force people to adopt our coda. We're changing the hobby so we can munchkin and rules lawyer the players, even the GM himself! I'm tired of these speds acting like D&D is low-key Racial Holy War. Goddamn, leave nerds alone!

Edit: By the way, I bitch about Critical Role a lot, I know. I don't actually have a problem with Mercer and crew, they did a thing and it got popular. I'm more torqued at the result it helped cause.

The one thing that makes it hard for them to enforce their very demands is that people can just choose to ignore whatever they print. They can print a new module that enforces a ton of crazy diversity shit but at it's core, you can play DnD without it. The only way to change things is to change the core game but even that has it's downsides, aka go woke, get broke. WoC needs to make money and if DnD 6e is chock full of that kind of crap with no upsides, people will just stick to the old versions or pirate the new ones and homebrew that stuff out. It happened with 4e, people stuck with 3.5e in the long run. People still stick with 3.5e for a reason, because 5e did a lot more dumbing down than 4e did but it made it beginner friendly as a trade-off.

Critical Role is just the catalyst that brought the storm. A lot of the people who want to try DnD who would have never done it before are nothing but people wanting to do what the "cool" people are doing and since CR is chock full of big names, it made DnD cool to the Twitter and Tumblr crowd who, of course, need every little thing to cater to them. It's annoying that for some reason, the answer to every demand made wasn't just "homebrew it in" instead of buckling here and there to a crowd who won't stick around in the long run.

Thank you for putting my sperging much more eloquently. It's more that they're trying to get all this woke shit codified so that organized play at conventions and stuff (aka: the shit that actually gets people into the hobby) becomes just little troon and Tumblrina hugboxes. I wouldn't care so much, but the buckling goes beyond WoTC; entire conventions have jumped on the woke train which leads to trying to shove out the lovely neckbeards and autists that made tabletop board gaming what it is. It's more a lack of respect to the foundations that torques me off.

Yeah, as my edit said I don't hate Mercer and crew. As you say, he was the catalyst. If just a couple of these game makers would show half a nut and stop buckling to the woke mob, not only would they eventually shut up and move on once their REEEEEing tuckered them out but the fans Critical Role brought in who are good for the hobby would only enrich the community as a whole, and other, less famous RPGs would likely get more time in the sun. It's the waste of potential more than anything that makes me sperg.

The worst thing about this article is the fact that this was from several months ago. I wonder how bad Minneapolis is right now.

About as bad as you would expect.

Ah, Minnesota.

I'm wondering if the politicians who did that voluntarily defunded their security detail

No, but two city council members did announce they will not run for re-election, including Lisa Bender. Rumor is she moved to a suburb.

This girl has cow potential:

Oh yes, she is a cow. She has been around for years, used to be a foreclosure lawyer during the Great Recession, and she will sperg in anger at anyone who brings it up to discount her wokeness.

This, right fucking here is why we should've gatekept the fuck out of this hobby. RPG rules themselves are suggestions, and all the normies and troons that Mercer brought in never got that.

I'm not big on reading the rulebooks for RPGs, but I can't think of a single one which didn't have as one of its first, if not the first, rule, 'Feel free to ignore these rules because the goal of playing is to have fun. Do what works for you.' But now, that space right up front in some rulebooks is taken up with, 'Make sure you don't harm the oppressed while playing this game, or you're a bad person who shouldn't be using our products'.

It's one of the clearest ways in which these assholes show that, no, it's not about including them or making it OK for them to take part - it's about making everyone else conform to how they want to play the game, outside of their gaming group and into anyone who is involved in the hobby. I no longer have saved the series of four comics one guy did about a new player at a table demanding everyone play the way she wants, and if they don't they can leave 'her' table, so instead I'll just post another classic:

I lost count of how many articles say D&D is "racist" "sexist" or "problematic" etc.:

https://archive.fo/9CKlv

Oh man, I couldn't tell you how pissed my local D&D community has been over this stuff. They've got a proper club of about 40-50 people who organise games and GMs, and one night after our session my GM got onto talking about how much bullshit he's had to deal with since the SJWs have started forcing their way into D&D. For one thing, they've had a huge influx of people joining exclusively to play what I can only describe as "diverse" characters and play them as obnoxiously as possible to get a rise out of the other players, then accuse them of being problematic and get them kicked. This ended up resulting in the club electing a gay member to be their official spokesperson because him saying he was gay was the only way they could get the SJWs to listen to him.

Another situation was with a branch of club that operates out of the local university, where the Diversity and Inclusion club, which exists as a sort of SJW police force on campus, investigated the D&D club to make sure they weren't being exclusionary. That ended in a slapfight where the D&D club was forced to get signed information from each member stating that they weren't being excluded or anything like that. Even after that the Diversity club tried to make it so they could sit in on sessions and make sure they weren't being racist or anything, which thank god was shut down.

This is why RPG clubs on college campuses have actually become exclusionary. Basically what happens is some dudes who like each other get together, build up the group enough to where they can say "Sorry, we're full!" and go on playing whatever and however they want on their own without club backing. Personally, I'm glad they can get their spaces back in some form, but the troons and gays that are cool suffer the most because of the bad experience the SJWs created. Most of the people I talk to in those communities do wish they can continue to grow the hobby regardless of the who's part of the growth, but the SJWs are far more destructive than the gross 'that guys' who never showered were.

Platinum and other expensive metals of the platinum-group.

Particularly rhodium and palladium. Palladium is the most expensive metal in existence. Funny how some item that literally degrades your car's performance, but you're legally required to buy, contains at least three metals in it more expensive than gold.

Most of the people I talk to in those communities do wish they can continue to grow the hobby regardless of the who's part of the growth, but the SJWs are far more destructive than the gross 'that guys' who never showered were.

One of my groups in college actually did an intervention on one of those "that guys" and got him to start showering and shit and now he's married and has a good job. I'd rather have a group that had half "that guys" than a single SJW.

From Amazon:
The first history of racial injustice to examine how civility and white supremacy are linked, and a call for citizens who care about social justice to abandon civility and practice civic radicalism

The idea and practice of civility has always been wielded to silence dissent, repress political participation, and justify violence upon people of color. Although many progressives today are told that we need to be more polite and thoughtful, less rancorous and angry, when we talk about race in America, civility maintains rather than disrupts racial injustice.

Spanning two hundred years, Zamalin’s accessible blend of intellectual history, political biography, and contemporary political criticism shows that civility has never been neutral in its political uses and impacts. The best way to tackle racial inequality is through “civic radicalism,” an alternative to civility found in the actions of Black radical leaders including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells, Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Malcolm X, and Audre Lorde. Civic radicals shock and provoke people. They name injustice and who is responsible for it. They protest, march, strike, boycott, and mobilize collectively rather than form alliances with those who fundamentally oppose them.

In Against Civility, citizens who care deeply about racial and socioeconomic equality will see that they need to abandon this concept of discreet politeness when it comes to racial justice and instead more fully support disruptive actions and calls for liberation, which have already begun with movements like #MeToo, the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, and Black Lives Matter.

Remember, these people always assume that the system will remain static except the changes they make.

Train a bunch of hooting barely literate niggers to "be uncivil"? The whites just HAVE to sit there and eat shit. Whites being uncivil right back isn't allowed. Reacting in any way differently to the ooking isn't allowed.

This is a fundamental assumption to the left's activism. "Nothing is allowed to change except what we change and in ways we change it."

Shit like this is why i firmly believe that Gatekeeping is a must and you should never give an inch no matter what. There are a set of rules that have to be followed in order to maintain consistency and somehow, these people (and of late, not even the makers of the gam) cannot comprehend that.

These suckers demand that there is no racial advantages nor disadvantages, so an elven barbarian can be as strong as an orc one. And one of the best things in D&D is that you can make that elven barbarian, the thing is that you need to be original and clever in order to work around his limitations in order to be effective and it's clear these people cannot withstand being on the losing end or being really disadvataged at something. As well, their constant offense at everything that is contained in every setting is really amusing. You remember how SJWs were hyped as hell about the cyberpunk game, believing it would have eveyrhting they hoped a magnificent future had and then they begun to badmouth it constantly because they got nitpicky?

This is why in this day and age gatekeeping and doing a screening process before letting anyone join your group or hobby is necessary in order to preserve not only its purity, but its continuity as it is supposed to be. Or else you will end up playing "Nondescript fantasy game 82".

I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that this person is the typical brainlet that things that orcs are blacks and goblins are jews. And i kinda understand why they make that comparison because they never look deep into the lore to even try to comprehend why they are like that outside of "Whitey bad for making me think these are like X or Y". It's just fucking projection because they are inmense retards.

I bet that if this person played Kenshi they would also go on about Sheks being like blacks because they are violent brutes that are bad at working hard and doing science and Bugmen being like jews because they trade with humans and like money.

I haven't dealt with anything that bad, our DM is good and vets new players before they join. We did have a guy join who played what I can only describe as a flaming faggot elf bard, but since we all play dumb characters ideas none of us minded. That is until a few sessions in he tried seducing a guy working at a bar and got really pissy when the GM wouldn't describe what happened after. Even though graphic sex was one of the few things our group will not do and he had been told this before he joined, he ended up walking out after screaming at us for being homophobes for about half an hour. It's a shame really, we got along pretty well until that.
