This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Emperor Norton;1042268So what what you are saying is

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Quote from: True Black Raven;1042269One of the places that I mostly lurk (in 14 years I have between 50-100 posts) there are 4240 accounts with zero posts and 2595 accounts with between 1-5 posts. I am fascinated if you think that there are that many spambot accounts and none of them ever got around to doing any spamming. Who has ever seen or heard of a spambot account that did not spam? IMO you would lose that bet.

If it didn't spam, how would you know? Speculating on the motives of unused accounts is futile.

Quote from: True Black Raven;1042271I don't really care if someone wants to call me a bigot. I personally will not buy a game that I might play with children or grandchildren or other relatives or friends, that includes anything that is part of the LGBTPQ pedophile culture agenda. I am also not into the whole inclusive thing either. The people I invite into my life are those who are good, moral, decent people. Perverted child molesters, rapists and the rest of the deviant LGBTPQ crowd are not welcome. The is not a bad thing, that is common sense and protecting your family.

And there it is folks; a real, live, honest to goodness POS who dropped in to take a homophobic dump on our thread. Luckily you can see from the Join date that this is either a drive-by bigoting, or perhaps a regular member who was smart enough to change their name when typing in 'hate on' mode.

Quote from: Emperor Norton;1042256Honestly, I'd say it is more that women tend to avoid places where they are massively outnumbered and will be told that their experience being a woman is bullshit.

Now there's a line of BS.

Quote from: Emperor Norton;1042256If you think that women don't argue online, you'e never been on Facebook.

This is accurate.  The main reason why women likely don't frequent places like this as much is because RPG's are too immature for them to take seriously.  They aren't here, because this is beneath them.

Quote from: Emperor Norton;1042256Also, I seem to remember there was at least one female poster back when I was here 3 years ago. Can't remember their user name, or even if they were a figment of my imagination.

There are/were probably several.  Outliers and the like.

I'd speculate there's at least one joker out there who really wants to conflate criticism of current progressive activisim with the kind of view that Black Raven shared with us.

I like how even people saying straight out bigoted shit are still somehow blamed on the "SJWs".

To be honest, if you wanted to make a claim that this wasn't sincere, the more obvious answer is that it is just a troll stirring up shit. Which is actually what I assumed when I saw it.

Nope. The OP can take full responsibility for his post. My speculations are beside the point.

True Black Raven is another sock puppet for Perilous Dreamer/Crimhthan the Great/Llauranela/TGM1975/ETC/ETC/ETC.  That post is a carbon copy of other like posts said person has posted for years on DF and elsewhere.

No one really knows why anyone does anything. Actually, you are lucky if you really understand why you do things yourself. That's why arguments based on the 'appeal to motive' logical fallacy should be ignored.

So, I have no idea WHY 'Black Raven' wandered by to drool homophobic bile. I just know he did it.

Maybe because your experience is not the majority of experiences? That your experience is actually the minority of minorities?

Of course you have been claiming that this is erasure based upon you being bisexual, but when you meet a stranger do you introduce yourself by saying, "Hello, my name is Emperor Norton and I am bisexual"? Since if you don't, how do people you have never met know your sexual preferences to be bigoted against you as you claim?

When people make jokes about gay dudes, or crude remarks about women, it doesn't actually require them knowing I'm bi.

Actually, I've found being a minority that is easily able to pass, that I don't see as much of the overt hatred, but I see a hell of a lot more of the insidious bullshit.
