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: Omega;1061331Considering it was allmost 100% likely just Anita's usual screeching of "Everything is sexist! Everything is against women!" and how horrible and awful D&D is and how it neeeeeds to change so that women can be (more) equal (than men)! (Oh and some women are more equal than others.) and on and on trying to spread her venom to another well in need of poisoning more than it allready is.

I though disagree GenCon is rewarding Loter as they banned him too. Nor had they not. Then whooooeeee that could have very easily blown up in their faces. Now had this happened at say Pax they likely would have given poor Loter a medal.

Yeah, they "banned" him indefinitely, and they banned Hambly indefinitely. But you can bet that Loter will be back, if not next year, then the year after that at the latest.  Whereas Hambly will never be allowed back again.

WOTC hates Hambly for calling them out on their shady dealings. Of course they are going to find ways to make sure he doesnt attend GenCon despite them supposedly not owning GenCon.

The real test will be if they try to get him banned from other cons.

I'm not really sure that WoTC directly had anything to do with this. It's not like the Gencon people themselves aren't completely-compromised SJWs.
