Quote from: Haffrung;1087266I guess companies don't really get to pick their market.

   I keep coming back to Tolkien and the hippies and neopagans in this regard.

I feel like this should be in other games.  ProJared is more known for his connection with Game Grumps and Nintendo game reviews.

Has anyone seen this "Dice, Camera, Action"?

How does it compare to Critical Role or other YouTubed D&D?

Quote from: Haffrung;1087266However, as publishers have embraced liveplay streams, Twitch, Youtube and twitter as the primary means of marketing their games, they've become vulnerable to this type of social media scandal.

THIS is an extremely good point.

Companies have handed off marketing to fans and amateurs, cuz its cheap and effective when everything goes smoothly.

But when things go off the rails? The company now has lost control of its marketing.

Quote from: Haffrung;1087266The people involved in these productions tend to be narcissistic drama queens, and their scandals get massively amplified on social media.

In LA, we call this breed of demihumans "actors".

YouTube has only cut out the middleman filters and now many more of the demihumans can be seen preening on screens, instead of just preening while waiting tables.

But big Hollywood productions have been sideswiped by the antics and scandals of professional actors since the movies began. Of course, the scandal media was slower (and easier for studios to control) than today's 24/7 social media outrage fest where most everyone online has been Pavlovian trained to twitch at every new scandal.

QuoteFew seem to want to face the harsh truth of women--many, many of them are absolute hedonists that love wallowing in debauchery at every opportunity.

Not nearly enough of them and thank TLoPh for those that are.
(tloph is the true higher power: The Laws of Physics)

Much as how the idiocy of the Christian Right and the Atheist Left help reaffirm my practice of Hellenic Paganism by letting me know that I made the right decision to abandon authoritarian death cults, the screeching dangerhair sows of the Millennial Left reaffirm my bisexuality.

When my generation has so many of their women be so downright repulsive and despicable, it makes me glad that I can find companionship among my fellow men and those women who are not shrieking punk harpies and blue-haired communist sows.

My girlfriend may not be a super-hot bombshell in terms of physical beauty, but she is a calm and reasonable woman who has a good personality and a lot of the same interests as me.

I aimed within my league and I was able to find a woman who so far seems to be a good match for me, and I consider myself lucky in doing so.

Anyone who saw my old YouTube videos knows I am not a looker in any way and am ugly as sin.

But I have been taking a lot better care of myself lately and I found a girl in my area who I had common interests with and already kind of knew beforehand and we actually started out as just friends before it eventually progressed into a relationship.

You just gotta go with the flow, keep your cool, take good care of yourself, and let things happen at their own pace organically and you just might find the right someone to be with and even if you don't, it's really not that big of a deal.

I actually was fine with being single before but I am also enjoying having a girlfriend now and if more men my age listened to advice like this and less women my age were repulsive dangerhairs, there would not be an incel movement.

Yeah, there were always guys who could never get any since the dawn of time, but the Millennials were the first generation to turn it into a political movement instead of something to keep to one's self.

Oddly enough, the majority of incels aren't the repulsive brony neckbeards that the Left makes them out to be. I've had some morbid curiosity about this movement which is frankly ridiculous but is made out to be this grandiose boogeyman by the SJW Left.

They're mostly mildly awkward young guys who have been misinformed by mainstream media and radical feminism and they grow up thinking that TV sitcoms and John Hughes teen flicks are real life and they have a lot of misplaced anger as a result.

Combine that misplaced anger and misinformation with the sense of entitlement that so many Millennials have regardless of political affiliation and you get the idiocy of the incel movement.

Honestly, if they could just keep their head down and aim within their league instead of acting like spoiled idiots, a good number of the incels could actually get laid.

You aren't entitled to a smoking hot 10/10 popular girl.

If you want to have sex with the prom queen, you gotta have enough game to win her over. But if you keep your head down, take care of yourself and try to aim within your league, you can find the right person.

You may not have enough game to get the hottest girl in town, but if you go in with the right attitude and take care of yourself, you could definitely get a date with the quiet chubby girl sitting alone in the corner writing Sailor Moon fanfiction and even if she's not conventionally attractive, it's still better than being constantly lonely, bitter, and angry over bullshit that stops being important once high school ends.

And who knows? You might just be happier with the quiet mousy chick or the chubby weeb than you would be with the popular blonde bombshell, whether if she is your girlfriend or just a friend.

Physical beauty is only skin deep, and a woman with a good personality, common interests, and emotional compatibility is always a better choice for a partner, regardless of appearances.

Both dangerhairs and incels are prime examples of the failure of the Millennial generation and are both products of misinformation from a mix of the mainstream media, the mistaken belief that pop culture is reality, our broken education system of underfunded public schools and colleges that are little more than overpriced diploma mills that double as indoctrination camps, and the fact that our out-of-touch Boomer grandparents spoiled us rotten while our apathetic Generation X Goth parents didn't bother to raise us right.

Now, I mentioned that stuff to bring me to the topic of ProJared.

ProJared was a nerdy YouTuber and gamer geek who had actually made it in a way.

He was a minor celebrity with a monetized and fairly popular YouTube channel and was married to a literal beauty queen (despite him looking like the deformed bastard child of Jerry Seinfeld and Toucan Sam) and yet he threw it all away so he could score with an ugly dangerhair sow.

ProJared was like the reverse incel stereotype. He was an ugly pathetic dork who had no social skills and despite that, he had money, publicity, and a beautiful wife who seemed to treat him well.

But sadly ProJared self-imploded due to a mix of unwarranted entitlement, stupidity, an insistence on a more ideologically pure partner, and of course, generally being unable to keep it in his pants.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1087298Has anyone seen this "Dice, Camera, Action"?

How does it compare to Critical Role or other YouTubed D&D?

I've watched a few episodes.  Chris Perkins is a good DM.  The girls (Anna and Holly) are good and engaging roleplayers.  Particularly Anna.  The guys (ProJared and the other guy) are dull and are easily outshined by the girls.  Normally I wouldn't judge a person's roleplaying abilities, but these shows are broadcast as entertainment, so...

I may have watched one episode of Critical Role, so its hard for me to compare the two.  Neither show held my interest for long.  The best D&D streaming show IMO was Matt Mercer running Tomb of Annihilation for a group of non-Critical Role actors, including Joe Manganiello and Deborah Ann Woll.  Matt, Joe, and Deborah Ann are much more charismatic than the average roleplayer, so they were fun to watch.

Hahahaha. People here love their prurient gossip, it seems. I haven't seen the show and have no opinion on the melodrama. As for those expressing distaste for "dangerhairs", I'm sure those women are very thankful for your lack of interest in them.

Quote from: SavageSchemer;1087252I had to look up what "dangerhair" was on the Urban Dictionary. I read the definition to my wife and we both laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes. Pure gold.

Edit: The part that got us was the use in a sentence.

Lol at dangerhairs thinking anyone wants to willingly have sex with them.

You'd have to be a really deranged sexual predator with no game and no standards to want to have sex with a dangerhair.

Of course, most dangerhairs are disgusting misandrist hipster sows who think anyone with a Y chromosome is automatically a sexual predator by virtue of being born with a dick.

And tellingly, a lot of the lesbian dangerhairs tend to be "femcels", having the same mentality as male incels, only from a lesbian perspective instead of a heterosexual male one.

Also, a lot of the femcel dangerhairs have a virulent and bigoted hatred of bisexuals, considering bisexual women to be traitors to the LGBT cause and also guilty of the sin of having "straight privilege" and treating bisexual men with the same despicable sexist contempt they treat every other male.

If you need a concrete reason as to why punk rock was a mistake, dangerhairs would be the perfect example.

They got the idea of dying their hair in bright colors from the punk subculture after all, and most of them are hipsters as well. Need I remind you that the hipsters are one of the many bastard offspring of the punks.

The punk subculture was pretty repulsive on its own, but it also spawned a lot of other despicable and horrifying subcultures and trends.

Goths, Alternative Rock, Emos, Hipsters, Skinheads, ANTIFA and the revival of Anarchism in the current era can all be traced back to the grave mistake that was punk rock.

If had a time machine, I would go back in time to the 1970's and track down both Johnny Ramone and Sid Vicious, walk up to them, put a revolver to the back of their heads and gun them down before either of them could spread their cultural contagion.

jkhim, the next time you're out buying groceries and some Millennial sow with brightly colored dyed hair is irrationally shrieking at you over some bullshit "microaggression" because you made the mistake of saying "Excuse me" while you passed by her in the produce aisle, be sure to remember this post and think about what I said.

Once that happens (and it's only a matter of "when" rather than "if") you will be ferverently in support of both Punk Demolition Night and the Second March To The Sea.

I'm pretty familiar with the type. As it turns out, tomorrow is Mother's Day in the U.S., and I just called my son to remind him to call his dangerhair mother. For what it's worth, we did divorce after 12 years of marriage, but we've stayed amicable and have cooperated well in co-parenting.

Remember, not every woman with brightly dyed hair is a dangerhair.

All dangerhairs are women with brightly dyed hair, but not all women with brightly dyed hair are dangerhairs.

If you were married to her for over a decade, are on amicable terms with each other, and had a kid together, then she probably is NOT the kind of Bolshevik hipster sow that I describe in my previous post, but instead is just a normal woman that just dyed her hair in a weird color.

I think if you haven't watched "Dice, Camera, Action!" you've been sleeping on the greater media spectacle of D&D. WotC is using these people to advance the hobby.

So, it plays as true tabletop RPG content, regardless of critics who nay-say.

When they put these SJWs way out front as representatives of the hobby, there's credence in what they do & say. Semi-authority. It's no different than if TSR had a group of employees run a series of games online.

Mentzer, Webb, Zach S, hell even Pundit --- rpg celebs in their own right, get attacked for every little thing they do that "offends" the SJW crowd. But, the WotC crew is untouchable?

Nope.

I will touch them as much and often as I like. I want to see them exposed. I watched "Dice, Camera, Action" run the revised Ravenloft campaign. While I thought the presentation was garbage, it's impactful because the people they chose, who defended SJW values, have been exposed as libertines.

It's Pie-in-the-face moments like this that reveal the SJW crowd are NOT as pristine as they claim to be. They are not moral paragons capable of telling the rest of us how to game.

This is important in the battle of pushing SJW propaganda away from the hobby.

No opinion on the sexual harassment and taking advantage of women?

Greetings!

Excellent, Theory of Games! Stay vigilant!

SJW's are toxic. They have this bizarre, and maniacal desire to corrupt, pollute, and or destroy everything in society. Art, music, film, books, games, sports, schools, churches, everything. Every institution, every endeavor, must be corrupted and dominated by the SJW's, or destroyed and banned, sued out of existence. Protests, litigation, economic influence, shaming, boycotts, editorial and political control, all the way down to just exerting social control by their numbers. Think about how they react and treat everything. It's disgusting and evil.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

This guy gets it.

The SJW's are a cult, a secular leftist equivalent of the Religious Right fundamentalists from back in the day.

Actually, to call them equivalent would be somewhat of a fallacy.

As bad as the Religious Right is, the SJW's are worse than them in every way conceivable.

They are more fanatical, more dangerous, more powerful, and even more taboo to challenge.

Even under the conservative administrations of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, both of whom enjoyed widespread support from the Religious Right (and Bush in particular pandered to them) it was still possible to question the Reiigious Right or even downright condemn them without being branded as a Satanist by the mainstream media and essentially de-platformed and unpersoned.

The SJW's even have their own version of the Satanic Panic in the form of the Alt-Right Panic.

Now you can't even question SJW rhetoric openly in the mainstream without being branded as "Alt-Right" and if you condemn them outright, then you're done for. The Silicon Valley commissars will unperson and deplatform you, and the violent leftist gangs will attack you and possibly try to murder you.

The only question would be whether the leftist gang member coming to attack you will be a black supremacist thug armed with a gun or an Anarcho-Communist punk thug armed with a bike lock (or alternately, a baseball bat painted in the colors of the transgender pride flag)

This is why we must be vigilant and stand up to this Neo-Bolshevik cult while we still can.

We don't want SJW's to turn America into Oceania

It is time to rise up and fight back against these zealots.

Never forget that SJW's are secular Puritans!

Let's take back Animal Farm from the swine and colonize the evil leftist ethnostate of Wakanda on behalf of Crystal Tokyo and the Hidden Leaf Village!

Remove Soy. America Strong. God Save The Tsar!
