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.

Code of Conduct, the new Virtue Signal in RPGs

Quote from: Omega;1133545We knew this was coming.

Is it any surprise they have stepped up the threats of censorship after the prior threats of censoring games and designers?

Expect things to get worse. Eventually they will just put to the block any game they or the SJW cult deem "offensive".

It's not about the games. It's about the people who make and play the games. It's  about controlling those people - controlling us. The games are just another vector of control.

Oh, geesus. Normal people need to grow some fucking balls and start resisting the goddamn Liberals at every step. Bullshit like this "Code of Conduct." What? Why the fuck do writers, creators, and game designers need to have a "Code of Conduct?" It's just more fucking Marxism. More Language Distortion, and just yet another eample of whining, cock-sucking Communists trying to subvert part of our culture.

Say NO to them. Each and every time. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Shame them. Laugh at them. Mock them mercilessly, and make them cry and sob and feel rejected. People have to seriously wake the fuck up to how insidious, corrosive, and evil Communists are. Yes, they are ideological monsters just like Nazis. So, people need to treat Communists and their ideas--just like Nazis.

When are we going to be fed up with Communist subversion of our culture, and our country?

Semper Fidelis,

Based on the BLM riot's "success", frenzied attacks on innocents is the new liberal hotness.

But what the fuck were you talking about?

Sorry I offended you by criticizing your cult.

Not my cult. Thanks for the apology. I accept donut bouquets as a sign of restitution.

I get the push back. I don't feel the need to use the CoC in my project (as an example). I'm ok if others want one. If the end result is tons of censorship and authoritarian oppression, I would see this as a threat (and join the vociferous push back). As it stands, I'm pretty sure it will sell 200 copies and be adopted by 10 people, of which one will be published (maybe).

I am more worried about DTRPG's frequent desire to silence publishers that the Outrage Brigade doesn't like. That is considerably more threatening than this obscure CoC (not being enforced by anyone that I can tell).

Yikes! How disturbing. I'd gladly drop the hobby if it became a standard. My CoC is based on the principle of free speech and the liberties of delivering a work of art free of the control of weirdos like that. Thank God I won't be alive 100 years from now.

I'm sure you could convince RPGPundit to do it for a reasonable price.

Not being enforced by anyone YET.

But since you bring up DTTRPG, wanna bet they will be made to adopt this CoC or one very similar? Wanna bet it will be used to oust even more of those "problematic"tm people?

You say you want to wait till you see them do it, I'm telling you it has already been done in other places where such things have been adopted. But hey feel free to keep burying your head in the sand, I bet it will work wonders in preventing everything going to shit.

I fully agree that censorship *will probably* get worse in the future.
I fully agree this CoC nonsense *MAY* be on the horizon.
BUT...
We have enough right-now censorship problems happening today to deal with.

And at this point, even atheists need to beg the Almighty for an asteroid to hit us.

So, this is an unofficial product and not the actual Code of Conduct for publishers on DTRPG?

Still, I'm worried that this will be used as the stepping stone to an official censorship policy like you said.

I've had enough of the moral bullshit.

If you're self-publishing RPG's, then I suggest you also open up venues on Lulu or other sites as well. They have their own problems, but it's a much bigger pond so you don't have to worry about WOTC or the punk commissars at Onyx Path and RPG.net brigading DTRPG to ban you for wrongthink.

Google didn't translate. It just said "Error 4b 65 76 69 6e 20 53 6d 61 6c 6c 20 54 61 6c 6b syntax untranslatable".


I said "what the hell", and applied it to hexadecimal... "Kevin Small Talk". Which led me to this.

Then I got it. You're a retard.
