And FUCKING LOL at the cuck who makes his orks and goblins “kind and reasonable”.
I believe the Eberron demotivational is applicable here.

I have limited experience with Call of Cthulhu and Lovecraft's work itself, but I somehow doubt the in-universe books read like Carl Sagan.
BOOK: "We are star-stuff."
INVESTIGATOR: "Horror of horrors, I share ancestry with the Italians?!"

Though that does make me want a CoC variant where reading popular science articles slowly turns you into a gawking soyjak.
 
Demanding that all fantasy setting be full of modern western liberal democracies is ludicrous.
One of the very few things I liked about the end of Game of Thrones was a little bit that felt like an active rebuke to these sorts of people, where Samwell Tarly suggests something akin to a democracy - and the rest of the nobles laugh him off. I remember a couple of things at the time from people who wanted that ending, basically abusing the 'breaking the wheel' metaphor for their own progressive wants in something they consoom, as they tend to do.

These are people who have decided the ideas of fun and escapism are politically incorrect - and as they keep saying, 'politically incorrect' is the same as bigotry because it's all about people who want to say slurs and get away with it. They are destroyers of any hobby they come into contact with, and should be treated like The Thing whenever they are encountered.

I actually lampshaded that myself in one game, when my PC commented ruefully, 'Who would make the decisions? Should we put it up to the commons?'

The closest you're going to get to a 'modern' Western democracy in fantasy right now is Andoran, in Pathfinder, and they're still having growing pains and fistfights in their legislature (though some may view the latter as a feature, not a bug). And right next door is Galt, which is basically Revolutionary France on steroids and a prime example of how things can go oh so wrong.
 
Two day ban for citing the wrong kind of Jews.

Wait a second... they have a problem with a minority within a minority?

"Only 7% of jews are Orthodox" - so the majority should just trample all over them without regards for the minority's experience?

Did this mod just go unintentionally based?

Just goes to show RPGnet doesn't actually respect all minorities; just the ones that agree with their values.
 
RPG.net is what you get when take a bunch of socially retarded nerds and dweebs, plus sex weirdos and aspiring sex weirdos, then make them concentration camp guards.
The hilarious part for me, is that I can already tell exactly what most of the weirdo jannies over there look like. I play AD&D in a games shop near where I live; and the creepy, obese, balding, smelly aspies there all talk like the RPG.net jannies. It's like some sort of weird verbal/written form of physiognomy. I can even sort of hear their tone of voice and see the dead eyed fish stare.

Mod got this close to calling orthodox Judaism a false religion. Based. Also nice argumentum ad populum, dipshit, good to know you have no use for organized religion except as it validates the lifestyle you would have lived anyway. Deny yourself? Take up your cross? Sounds like fascist rhetoric.

People say that Zimbardo's prison experiment is bullshit but the moderation of every single woke website proves that whatever its flaws, its conclusions were right.

Time isn't the best way of viewing the truth-claims of a religious denomination. Especially based on a false premise. Orthodox Judaism was founded when the creator of modern "progressive" Reform Judaism was in primary school (he was born in 1810).
