Quote from: OddAutist;1087317At least one can jerk off to 50 Shades

Technically true if you are a repressed and sheltered person such as a Mormon missionary or a 1950's housewife, so Harry Potter is still worse than 50 Shades

However, anyone with a patrician taste in the erotic will do as I do and find far superior and more spank-worthy works in the fields of hentai, yaoi, bara, and the like.

Heck, even your average mom would be more likely to wank it to whatever the featured videos on Pornhub than they would be able to get off reading the schlock of 50 Shades of Grey.

Heck, campy softcore Skinemax flicks from the 1990's and 2000's are both more arousing and far more intelligently written than 50 Shades of Grey.

Plus you actually get to see the tits and asses of Misty Mundae, Beverly Lynne, and Christine Nguyen in Skinemax films, so it makes the wooden acting, nonexistent plot, and badly written dialogue actually bearable.

Also, as someone with close friends and loved ones involved in the BDSM and kink communities, I utterly despise 50 Shades of Grey for its rampant misinformation as well as its poor quality as both literature and fap material.

The woman who wrote 50 Shades of Grey doesn't know jack shit about BDSM, kink, or fetishism and her trying to write a book about it is like a 14-year old Call of Duty fanboy writing a book about military tactics and would have a similar level of accuracy.

Seriously, E.L. James is a smut author in the same way that Jace "Parkourdude91" Connors was a commando.

At the very least thst series is guaranteed to keep them tied to their seats.

Greetings!

Indeed, I have spoken to more than a few women who *loved* Fifty Shades of Grey. Then, add in all the women that *those women* know, and have discussed the books, yeah. Lots of women are crazy about these books. The Book has made the author, E. L. James, a multi-millionaire virtually overnight. More women have bought the Fifty Shades book than any other book, ever, except for maybe the Bible. James' book clearly has sold in the tens or even hundreds of millions of books. I read one quote where it has sold over 100 million copies. That gives you an idea of how many women have bought and read the book.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

I see a lot of comedy here.

I see people joking about what's going on.

I would like to play with it but I keep in mind that the SJW crowd takes this very serious. They want to control the message, first and foremost. They want to dictate how people play D&D.

I was an Rpg.net member and saw what happens when SJWs overwhelm a site. There's a reason for the recent influx of new members here --- they were banned from TBP for questioning how the SYW mods there manage the threads.

While you enjoy and post to threads I need you to remember these people have zero chill. They would infiltrate TheRPGSite and try to overwhelm the dialogue here, eventually:

They come in as disgruntled games banned from TBP, infiltrate as "good gamers", then slowly shift thread dialogue towards left-leaning ideology.

Because I've seen this very thing happen on TBP, it can also happen here. They have the Alinsky tactics well in hand.

Let us stand ready as we discuss the hobby we love.

Storygamers try that here now and then.

Quote from: Omega;1087345Storygamers try that here now and then.

As long as the Pundit runs this place, we're in a very low-risk area.

Most asshattery gets flattened by other posters before it grows into any sort of actual threat anyway, so Pundit rarely has to interfere, from what I've seen in my limited time here.

There's also the fact that the bigger a site is, the more they have the pressure to conform to the Zeitgeist. It's no coincidence that TBP and ENWorld were the biggest targets for this wave of bullshit. They congregate the largest audiences, and therefore have to pander to some extent just to keep those audiences. When the pandering reached critical levels in TBP, then the shit really hit the fan and the place became uninhabitable. I doubt something of that scale would happen here.

Quote from: Theory of Games;1087343They come in as disgruntled games banned from TBP, infiltrate as "good gamers", then slowly shift thread dialogue towards left-leaning ideology.

Alright I admit it. I'm secretly a pink haired SJW with a vaginapenis.

Quote from: Omega;1087345Storygamers try that here now and then.

I'll be honest; I do not trust storygamers. I don't trust Ron Edwards. I do not think people who put "story first" are being honest playing a game with dice and the varied expectations of people at the table.

That is not clean. I'm cheating that storygamers cannot express what they call RPGs is equivalent to what I say RPGs are.

Can they? They lie about dice rolls if it violates their concept of story. They shift an adventure line if it fails their expectation of where they mean to go as "storytellers".

I can't play with them. I can't even accept their ideology. My game had dice and player expectation that X becomes Y because I decided so.

The dichotomy of storygames is they are willing to overturn everything that founds RPG in order to settle their idea of what RPG is.

Is speaking English as Spanish because speaking Spanish doesn't at any given moment explain what they mean.

"Hold up your Barbie and shake her at the world --- NO, don't roll anything. The dice don't matter. What Barbie says is what matters".

I feel bad that we're here. I feel bad that I need to lay on a rooftop miles away from my game and snipe SJW celebs as a sniper contracted to silence what might be intriguing dissent because the opposion refuses to listen to reason.

So.

Reload.

The situation at RPGnet was all foretold in the holy texts of the Apocalypse of Doc Sammy, also known as the "Corebook of Revelation", which I was writing while drinking moonshine, doing edibles, and jerking it to bara manga and Rule 34 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure in the sleepy coal mining town of Patmos, West Virginia

Alright, allow me to quote Chapter 17 of the Corebook of Revelation in its entirety.

QuoteAnd there came the Pundit which had the seven vials and talked with me
And Pundit said unto me

Come hither, I will shew unto thee the judgment of the Great Whore that sits upon many waters
With whom the media and geek hobbies of the earth have committed great fornication
And the inhabitants of the fandoms have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness
And I saw a blue-haired woman sit upon a purple-colored beast
Full of names of tyranny, having seven heads and ten horns

And the woman was arrayed in black and scarlet color
Decked in hammers and sickles and Anarchy symbols
Having a Starbucks cup in her hand full of abominations and tyrannies of her fornication

And upon her forehead was a name written...

INTERSECTIONALITY
PORTLAND THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF HIPSTERS AND ABOMINATIONS Of THE EARTH

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the bishonen waifus
And with the blood of the de-platformed martyrs of free speech
And when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration

And I wondered and I asked of Pundit
"How the fuck could RPGnet ended up like this?"

LOL.

If we stand strong against this silliness, the hobby will be fine. Is all.

This site can be a sanctuary for gamers looking to express their real ideas, free from persecution.

If we can defend that, it's enough.

Accuracy is important for non-fiction. It doesn't translate to success in fiction.

John Grisham was a lawyer, but his "legal thrillers" might as well involved elves and dragons. He was sharp enough to throw buzzwords and legal bits around to make the reader "feel" like they were reading "the real thing", but in actuality it was as if NASA produced Star Wars as their infomercial.

It's an interesting dichotomy. There are plenty of "accurate" fiction authors, but much of the best-sellers are writing fantasies.

Quote from: Theory of Games;1087343I would like to play with it but I keep in mind that the SJW crowd takes this very serious. They want to control the message, first and foremost. They want to dictate how people play D&D.

True. It's the 80s church ladies again. It's always about control and always about dictating how people should live, think and speak.

The last group hated us from the outside. This group hates us from the inside. But victory comes from the same tactic...laughing at them.

SJWs (and all their allies) are worthless jokes who deserve nothing but hearty and constant mockery.

That's how we win.

I welcome our new chew toys! Uh, I mean, new forum members.

theRPGsite is the Mos Eisley of the internet. Absolutely everyone is welcome, but everybody is packing blasters on their hip.

SJWs are 1000% welcome to post here and bring every Alinsky tactic to every thread.

The ONLY result will be more whiny and laughable "Why I left theRPGsite" blogs littering the Google searches.

Quote from: myleftnut;1087368I'm secretly a pink haired SJW with a vaginapenis.

And both you and your vaginapenis are 1000% welcome to post here.

Quote from: Theory of Games;1087369"Hold up your Barbie and shake her at the world --- NO, don't roll anything. The dice don't matter. What Barbie says is what matters".

If I'm at a game and Barbie starts talking after being shaken, I hope we're playing Cthulhu while doing absinthe shots.

And when Shaken Barbie starts talking, I'm gonna blow off the dice rolls.

Quote from: Doc Sammy;1087370Alright, allow me to quote Chapter 17 of the Corebook of Revelation in its entirety.

THAT was funny.

"Standing strong" doesn't mean wanking on the forum.

"Standing strong" means actual play with actual gamers at tables where SJW bullshit gets paid no heed.

It's meaningless if all we do is wank on the forum.

Shit I agree.

Quote from: Godfather Punk;1086744Ah yes, totally forgot about that spat.

Exactly. As Kyle says, "Be Thy Not a Bitter Non-Gamer (BNG)." OK, perhaps less biblical sounding, but approximately that.

Real people being real gamers in real life, versus "virtuous puppets" violently peddling their virtue on the Punch & Judy stage of social media. Both are a game, but one's a toy you can put away when done and develop real friendships (instead of tenuous alliances).

From what I recall, someone* put a line** in their signature that spelled out (first letter of each word) 'FUTANKA'.
Mod Tanka*** took offense and dropped a p-ban on them.

(*) Someone: Razor 007

(***) ban executed by Killfalcon; Tanka previously topic banned Razor 007 from talking about rpg's.
