When your site is so fucked up that it's useless for its original purpose.

"Well how long has this been going on?"
*shrug* "Iunno, what do I look like, an admin?"

What a completely useless shithole. It's like they're not even pretending any more.

Someone should tell them that there's a place called TheRPGSite which has a functioning review tracker.

"No negativity" is Other Media's guiding primciple so it's coming. But don't worry, they won't be watching it either except to gush about how "the costumes are so gorgeous" or "I just feel so much affirmation from the diversity".

"Mike, how does it feel to have lived long enough to see all your favorite franchises go down in flames?"

Looks like someone hasn't been issued their biweekly "preapproved conversations" codex.

It seems like a forum regular has been banned for a day for potentially disparaging people who care about other people. ( Link | Archive )

Meanwhile, another regular has peaked from the moderation and has decided to leave for an indefinite amount of time. ( Link )

From the "Rusian talking points" thread linked above ( Link ):

And that sexism quote also has someone else asking the mods to be more lenient.

Whoa, the thread's already been locked.

How deep in denial do you have to be to think the RPG net mods are at all reasonable or in any way worth approaching with logical arguments?

You know that the mod team was is thoroughly pissed because they didn't came up with an smug excuse for it.

 

[Kongo-Müller]

I looked out of curiosity, I've googled if there are any other claims of sexism against the "Great minds discuss ideas" quote on the internets and I found none outside RPG.net. That means they have looked at that independently and came unprompted to the conclusion that "Small minds discuss people" must be a slight aimed against womyn.
I rather wonder what that says about the internalized prejudices of the RPG.net mods...

You could write an sci-fi novel or two based off the site's moderation, at this rate.

This sort of moderation would give Kafka nightmares.

Any dudes who said that in my experience were unrepentant horndogs unsuited to marriage. They cheated on their wives first chance they got, typically. A decent guy would be all in on talking about raising the kids and discussing their church community, but these faggots are so far up their own ass they literally believe themselves to be the arbiters of decency and everyone else is evil (or at the least indecent). Enjoy your tiny kingdom while it lasts, you pathetic jannies.

Now for something different.

Lesbianstripperninja
Sometimes, Drowlesbianstripperninja. Term for a stereotypically puerile female character created by many juvenile (mostly male) gamers. Essentially, what happens when a horny kid immersed in objectifying media creates what he envisions to be a "strong female" player-character. Scantily clad, aggressively sexual, quick to seduce NPC's to get what she wants or just for the hell of it, the character is essentially a canvas for the player's teenage urges. The character is homosexual because the male player thinks "lesbians are hawt" with the added subtext that actually playing out a heterosexual woman's romances from a first-person perspective would threaten the player's sexual identity. She is extremely stealthy, agile and fights in a precise manner because that is the style of deadliness allowed to strong female fighters by popular media. Typically she will be "exotic" in appearance, East Asian, Elvish, Drow or similar. The character Psylocke as portrayed in 1990's Marvel Comics is pretty much the archetype for this trope. See also Ninja.

Over on therpgsite one of the posters has been using rpg.net infraction notices as inspiration for Inquisition edicts in a Dark Heresy game.

Link to game? This sounds like a barrel of laughs.

It's a legitimate term and a type of player that deserves to be mocked, but they went way too far in their effort to make into a social justice issue.

"Small minds discuss people" must be a slight aimed against womyn.

Well who watches ‘The Real Housewives’? And ‘The Kardashians’? And ‘TMZ’? And consumes the vast quantities of gossip and pop-trash churned from the bowels of the ‘celebrity culture’ garbage extruder that is our media? It ain’t straight white cis males.

The hilarious part of copping a ban for this line being misogynist, though, is that it’s mods tacitly stating that women have small minds, as evidenced by the pettiness and worthlessness of the culture they choose to consume.

And that’s what I call an own-goal.

Not that, I mean, think about the other way that people start making personas of this sort.
