Correct. This is why I spend most of my game forum discussion time at rpgpub, sjgames. They remain entirely free of this bullshit.

Your coming across as a hypocrite. You don't like to post here yet you still do. Make up your mind and stop trying to be some kind of social chameleon.

Quote from: Silas1066;1084897well I think you are correct on one thing, and I would take it further

white people are the fucking problem, but not in the way the leftists think. It isn't Indians, Muslims, Persians, etc. pushing Marxism, pederasty, "polyamory", transgenderism, etc. I don't see libraries in black neighborhoods inviting transvestites in to read to the kids. It is Elizabeth Warren, Sanders, and others who want large-scale socialism, identity politics, reparations for slavery, etc. (even though a fraction of blacks even want that).

The "woke", atheist leftist is invariably some white beta-male, or some blue-haired, overweight white girl from an upper-middle-class family.

I live in an Indian neighborhood. These people have no time for this bullshit. They might lean left a bit on certain issues, but they are not psychotic socialists engaging in identity politics--the white people are doing that.

It was white, activist academic Peggy McIntosh who wrote the paper about "white privilege" (the invisible knapsack) back in the 1980s that launched the current wave of hard-core identity politics in the US.

Greetings!

Excellent points, Silas1066.

LOL! Sureshot, all of the bloodthirsty, right-wing dinosaurs here need to be saved!:D If only we would allow the enlightened Liberal elites to properly educate us with the SJW Koolaid! THEN, my friend, we would be a forum that was a safe space for SJW Happy Barneys!:D

Quote from: Ratman_tf;1084868Hey, he specified white women. White people are oppressors. He's just "punching up".

Quote from: Lurtch;1084893It's not misogyny to say that I don't want to hire insufferable white chicks because they are all the worst. Any minors or double majoring with women studies and it's always women studies and I'm not hiring you.

I have a team that has 30% women doing actual technical work. I'm far above industry norms. Where is my virtue points for that? I don't get any because feminism is about making the world easier for rich white girls.

You want to know why young white women are the worst? Because they are so extreme even the POC they say they are trying to help find them bat shit crazy. I have black, Asian, Hispanics, and Arabs women all working for me. Yes, I have white women too. But, I have to interview these people and you can just feel it. They are the worst.

Women are great. This isn't about gender. It's about white women over the last 30 years never being disagreed with and having huge Chips on their shoulders.

Quote from: Lurtch;1084894You are conflating white women with women. See! Feminism is about white women.

Women are fine. Women are talented and equally capable as men and vice versa. Young white women are awful and I hate working with them. If I could trade every white woman I work with under 30 to a black woman, Mexican woman, Asian woman, Arabic woman, Persian woman, I would. It's young white people that are drama woke people. Not minorities

I'm a Person of Color. I deal with these woke white people treating me like a child. You know who'd I rather deal with the worst MAGA guy ever because at least they'll treat me like everyone else and not as a baby unicorn.

How is it different Person of Color than Coloured People? Don't use their terminology ever, I'm Maya, Born, raised and Living in México City, I'm not a "Person of Color". My life has nothing in common with the USA citizens who happen to be latino descendants or even with people from Nicaragua. And our cultures are different enough that you can't talk about "Latino Culture", besides language, being mostly mongrels and mostly Catholics we have very little in common.

Do they have the Dia de Muertos in any other Latin American country? Nope, because it comes from Aztec culture.
Are Mariachis originally from any other country?
How about the food, clothing, music, etc?
Totally different from country to country, the closest ones are Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. And even they are different enough to not be considered the same culture.

I'm not a Latinx either, only assholes I know who use that term are either woke white dangerhairs or soyboys, or USA citizens who happen to be of latino descent. And among the latter only a small minority uses it.

Fuck the Baizuo, their white man's burden, their ideology and their terminology.

Peace brother.

Word.  We've been reduced to "poc".

The argument now is that if you are not white (and in the disproven races classification, Indians are caucasians), it is fine to be racist? So from this minority that has lived in multiple countries where he did not speak the language when he moved there, and as an immigrant to the USA, screw you. There is nothing different about being a white woman that makes it a fine category to throw your racists feces at them.

There are plenty if women, including white women, that are buying FGG's products. I was in one of his feature games at Gary Con and there were women in the room playing and having fun. They happened to be white, but I can guarantee that they knew about the allegations and thought they were bullshit.

The hand-wringing over on the purple site about Webb using the name of his alleged victim is pathetic. She used his name directly on the Paizo forum post she made. I cannot read the members only forum over there, but someone told me she is even posting publicly in the thread there. More sign of making up rules as they go.

In my case, I was mocking the idea. I thought Lurch was, in his words later, "being cheeky".

Your "wager" is complete bullshit and your post is mostly bullshit. For someone with as many posts as you have I'd hope for a more balanced perspective.

I understand the point you're trying to make and I don't necessarily disagree, but don't skew reality or conjure up imagined figures to prove that point.

At this point it would have to be trolling us imo. Given how factually and proven so much worse Rpg.net is than us to claim we are not that different than them has to be Haffrung being purposefully disingenuous at this point. If people are still debating which is worse at this point they are not all up there in the head. Given how poorly rpg.net is acting you think the more socially justice minded posters would be calling them out on it. Nah won't happen as it goes against the narrative this place is much worse. As well they don't want to risk being kicked out of the SJW cool kid club for having an opinion that goes against the narrative. If it was this site acting in such a regressive, repressive, totalitarian way they would be out in force riding in on their horses called Fully Woke to rip us a new one. Rpg.net does barely any thing said about it.

I suspect he was posting "off-the-cuff" and didn't realize how dumb that shit he said was, or maybe he simply didn't articulate his opinion enough. Then again, I'm an optimist.

This place is not an echo chamber!!!

Also, all people who disagree with me are hypocrites!!!

Quote from: Larsdangly;1084969This place is not an echo chamber!!!!

The point is that people are able to freely express opinions here. Take note, I'm not defending anyone. Unlike many other privately owned platforms you will not be ostracized or silenced for expressing a dissenting view here. Yes, there are views which "echo" here. Yes, there are some commonalities in perspectives here. If you are willing to equivocate the echo chamber here with a site like RPG.net then that is highly disingenuous. I'm not saying that's what you mean, since you haven't said anything specific enough to dismantle. However, it is not the same. Echo chamber or not, these sites are not the same and they are in fact far-flung from each other in terms of speech and range of opinion. You can talk about theoretical political ideologies among forums (you would probably be wrong anyway), but don't equivocate perceived political ideology with "echo chamber" because that is both false and moronic.

From the looks of it you don't like this place yet still post here. Speaking for myself that to me comes off as being a textbook hypocrite.

As for this place being an echo chamber. If you see the garbage going over at rpg.net which is also another example of a textbook echo chamber and think this place is the same then you don't know the first thing about what constitutes an echo chamber. I will be the first to admit this place has it's issues and I don't agree with every poster here. Yet I can do so without the mods insulting me before blocking my account while insulting me with made up words in the English language. More importantly this forum is not an echo chamber simply because people disagree with you and me on a topic. I too can say this place is an echo chamber as a defence and insult when people don't agree with me on a topic. What did you expect agreeing with another poster on how so much better other rpg forums are while still posting here. Objectively that does make you come across as a hypocrite. If you dislike this forum I can respect that. I will not respect someone posting here than going "yeah this place kind of sucks rpg forum XYZ is so much better". Did you honestly think no one would notice.

To me it is not if the people are different, its the fact that you are not immediately banned for concern trolling or whataboutism or Non-Right Thinkism.

Its just not that hard to understand the difference.
