When you at all try to fairly portray a culture prior to Western contact, you get accused of racism, since the woke narrative is that patriarchy, heteronormativity, etc, are impositions of white supremacy on the rest of the world, so portraying anything from Aztecs to Samurai as in any way worthy of criticism means you're "reinforcing negative ethnic stereotypes."

You do realize that you're promoting colonialism, bigot?

They actually skew a bit older, more to the mid-40's. Here's a post from a few months ago - the first poll was 2011, second was 2019. Doesn't look like they're getting enough new "young blood", the demographics skew a lot older in the second poll, telling me it's largely the same users still there just 8 years older.

I picture them as half scrawny soyjacks, and half fat neckbeards.

Now I am genuinely how they stack up to my grognards over on rpgcodex, which is where I would post about video games if I still gave a shit about them.

User Monochrome Tide unwisely gets sucked into the Ana Mardoll vortex.

Found the tweet:


Twitter account had already been nuked when I searched for it, but what's this, a kiwifarms hit on the first page of search results?

Turns out this dude had been previously doxed as a lolcow orbiter.

I see Dave "Olivia" Hill has no problem with joining Twitter pile-ons when it benefits him.

Today a user was banned under Rule 0, or as some people like to call it, the "not a good fit" rule:

Rule 0: The mission statement of this forum is "Keep the forums friendly and welcoming to as wide a range of gamers as possible." This principle guides all moderation. To the extent that the letter of the rules conflicts with the mission statement, the mission statement takes priority. The moderators may engage in moderation when necessary that is not based on the text of the following rules in order to keep the forums friendly and welcoming. Adherence to the letter of the following rules or “being right” is no excuse if your participation is destructive.

As you can see, the problematic content in question is pretty innocuous and what twisted Dawgstar's panties in a bunch is most likely the mention of a "rant about gender and identity politics".

What a spineless little worm. Guy didn't even indicate which way such arguments went -- just that at the table he didn't want to hear them at all.

Rule 0, by the way, is so obviously an assertion that We can and will ban anyone, anytime, for any reason we can think of that it's a wonder they even bothered with other rules. Gotta have a figleaf of ethics, I guess.

Probably doesn't even matter then.
"Oh, so you actually allow someone with bigoted views to play at your table? You're tolerating intolerance, and therefore you're just as bad."

He also hates people who talk about their own family when it comes to sharing political views. Turns out that even he hates the concept of an supportive family.

Today a user was banned under Rule 0, or as some people like to call it, the "not a good fit" rule:

You can tell they invented this rule back when moderation was (relatively) sane, like many of the (completely disregarded) "rules" on Wikipedia. The real rule is that if a single tranny janny gets his stink ditch in a twist about it, it's gone along with the poster.

Shrieking that politics SHOULD come before family sometimes REEE!!!!!!!! and then claiming the moral high ground and saying cherishing one's family above ideology is chillingly reminiscent of the Nazis (reeeeee!) is one of the more breathtaking examples of un-self-aware chutzpah I've seen lately. These people are in a cult.

I know we're not supposed to A-log, but holy Jesus, I think I may hate the RPG.net mods worse than anyone else covered on this site.

Kind of reminds me of the "runaway to gay hairdresser" pipeline

If you start chimping out like Null does, you're going to make me pull an muscle. It's bad enough that these jannies believe that they have the ultimate authority over someone else's personal life.

Yeesh, I knew some of the mods were a bunch of whiny faggots, but that's a new low, I think. Christ, these guys really don't have a life, do they?

Is "chimping out" a racist dig at my Indian heritage?!?!?!?

You are hereby banned under Rule Blood of Kali-ma, and you shall work in the mines of Pankot until you die of exhaustion. Contact the acolytes by email to appeal this ruling.

Yeah, that's one of the more insane things I've seen in a while. He managed to one-up the usual sort of people I've seen who suggest cutting your family off over politics.

14 days for thinking arbitrary death sentences are arbitrary

Original thread, this poster begins on page 4 with such INSANE, RADICAL, LUDICROUS ideas such as:

> I think a religion should not have this kind of legal instrument [fatwa].
> The fact that [it] is deemed as acceptable is still a problem.
> a religion should not include a legal instrument that amounts to a death sentence without due process or recourse.
> I sincerely hope that there will be condemnations from the various Muslim organizations. I believe it would be appropriate.
> Religious belief is not an excuse or a justification for crime.
> acting as if this was perfectly normal ... is one of the factors why religious violence keeps happening.
> The least the other organisations can do, is to condemn this.

A thread about a Shadowrun/Victorian England mashup turns into handwringing about racism.

Remember, folx: just like elves and trolls, reverse racism is a myth.
