I'm sorry, what? 'Careless racist presumptuousness'? Hey, Arethusa, you faggot, how about you provide a factual counterargument instead of just 'how dare you challenge our noble savage indigenous peoples! BANNED'.

This doesn't make me MATI so much as it annoys me. It's so petty, so sloppy. Like 'I can't be arsed to actually do five minutes of research'.
Wait... wut? It's LITERALLY TRUE that there were fewer domestication of animals in the Americas which is why they had fewer diseases like poxes. It's why contact with Europe was so bad for them. HOW is this racist? And if you're not allowed to talk about it, then how were the natives genocided?

I think -- so take with a grain of salt -- it's an extension of how the Native Americans were all peaceful Indigenous Folk Who Were Wise And Powerful (until those mean ol' whites came and killed them and took their land).

They don't want to admit the NAs could be as vicious as fucking Vlad Tepes, or that they really weren't 'wise and powerful' but barely scratching out a hunter-gatherer existence except in a couple groups (the Cherokee IIRC were getting their shit together and progressing. Of all the NAs, I feel the worst for them -- they really did get fucked).

So yeah. The response is 'shut the fuck up and sing Colors Of The Wind, or we ban you'.

CGP Grey did a fascinating video on this topic, and the poster's language makes me think he's basing his argument on it. It draw a lot of its ideas from Guns, Germs, & Steel, which is a fiercely disputed book among anthropologists (being an idiot on the subject I have no opinion on its merits), but the idea that this is racist is fucking retarded. And exactly what I expect from RPG.net.

GG&S is pretty accurate from what I can tell, it's just unpopular with revisionist anthropologists who refuse to acknowledge that Christendom might have any true advantages as a form of civilization. Bitter tribals don't like being told that their hunter-gatherer society was inevitably going to be conquered, either by another tribe of equal development or by civilizations that had developed better arms, housing, and a steady supply of food.
 
But they are greedy, as in hoarding an landfill's worth of gold.
The dwarves don't store their wealth in that way, that's just what happens after Smaug consolidates an entire kingdom's worth of wealth into a bed. Smaug is definitely a related half of the allegory to the dwarves as jews, and it's rewardingly complex of Tolkien to split the good and bad halves of the jewish symbolism into different races/creatures that play off each other(if that was the case).
 
And the degree to which they run the staff.

GGS is spot on when it comes to things like animal domestication but it contains some frankly fucking bizarre assertions such as the lack of an eccentric coast line in China being a factor in why it was difficult for dissidents to hide. A) it wasn’t all that hard, they head for the mountains or the desert and B) China has a rich history of piracy. It makes good specific criticisms but fails utterly as a general theory due to poor research.

It isn’t just anthropologists that hate the book, it’s also broadly unpopular with historians.

As for the America’s? The NAs brought over dogs and domesticated the Alpaca and neither are capable of putting the work in that the horse or the oxen are.

Furry porn threads get shut down.

The real story may be that Zeea is apparently not a mod anymore. He doesn't have a fancy mod avatar, and he's listed as "on hiatus". Anyone know the details?

Over a month ago and that furry is still moaning about that thread getting shut down.

Could be related to this back in August?
As we all know, if there's one thing common to all rpgnet mods, its the ability to handle corrections with grace and dignity. Trannies doubly so.

Lmao "escalating a sensitive thread." The ban reasons these faggots give are almost as surreal as the ones on RetardEra.
I think they're just quota-hounding their bans, considering how the post in my example was hardly offensive, but CrazyIvan turned it into "Custer is literally committing genocide of women and children! "
 
Is it my imagination, or are they getting even snottier with their actions?

Yeah, they've really been cracking down on "colonialism" and "dismissal of Native oppression" recently. Wonder if this is the next stage in the purity spiral now that nobody is willing to say anything good or bad about blacks for fear of being called a racist.

They're about two Purity Cycles away from banning all games that aren't just sitting in a circle talking about your character's feelings.
