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.

I'll be honest...

It kind of cracks me up. I initially thought when CP2077 was announced the SJW's would have rejoiced at the fact that genderbending is a thing in CP2020 and they'd like it. But... DUH... of course not. As you indicated, it's not like these people actually play the game in any form.

Quote from: GeekyBugle;1092143So my totally original intro was just my subconscious remembering this. Bummer.

On the other hand how many books have predicted/warned of the coming of the SJWs? Rebellion on the Farm, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Half Past Human (The hipo-gonad nebish and their need to feel safe) any other?

Clockwork Orange.

Quote from: jeff37923;1092213This entire situation is made of win as far as I'm concerned. Anyone who gets butthurt by a game supplement written over 20 years ago is a person who doesn't engage in Actual Play of TTRPGs, because the RPG they are interested in is seeing who can be more outraged over trivial crap.

Amen. This is a fascinating level of outrage from folks who probably would never even play the game. It's like being mad at The Communist Manifesto for not being inclusive on LGBT issues.

Many seem to be upset that gender-mods cause Humanity loss (unless you get paid counseling). Personally, I see any radical shift in physicality a potential upset to one's psyche, so it makes sense that a full-on gender swap via gene-therapy and cybernetics might be traumatic. The term "Humanity" seems to be a stickler as well. The fragility of these people only serves to prove the points many are making about them, as well as their nigh-constant complaining about games they don't likely even play.

But that would require actually reading the books instead of just taking offense at the sexy pictures.

True. I'm interested to see where all this lands concerning Cyberpunk Red and Cyberpunk 2077. I hope the screeching is ignored and Mike and CDPR just keep to their visions.

I haven't gotten around to that one yet. Vonnegut is an author I like, but he's not my favorite so I don't go out of my way to read his stuff. Should I take this as a recommendation?

TBH I've only seen the adaptation short film 2081.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Wow. I didn't realize how short of a short story it was.

Quote from: Alderaan Crumbs;1092184That Mike Pondsmith is black must send them into a tailspin. Regardless and irrespective of his skin color, that man is a genius who made an absolutely incredible and enduring game, both thematically and mechanically.

It's funny.  Once some of the people found out Mike Pondsmith was black, and that actual Haitians were involved, some of them backed off and actually apologized.
