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.

Its all about virtue signalling and brainwashing the gullible. Controlling the "narrative" so that anything they point at can be torn apart at a whim.

If they have not already I am 100% cewrtain that sooner or later one of these sociopaths will declare Roots or Good Times or Sanford and Son wacist and it just has to go. They have been targeting Jewish commedians well before this and who knows what else.

It is extremely tame but there are people who get their entire moral authority or even their entire personality from being outraged about things.  They will find something to be outraged about.  They need to.  They have long since run out of actually offensive things to be outraged about so now we have microaggressions and old cartoons are racist.

Oh yeah. They can always fall back on "Not Woke Enough".
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Remember when they complained about Ruby Rose playing Batwoman because she wasn't gay enough?

The new Captain America movie was fun. There are bits to nitpick (like warships not even engaging their CIWS to stop incoming missiles), but it was enjoyable. Mackie, Esposito, and Ford did great, Falcon-guy wasn't so good, and Sabra was totally forgettable.

The guy playing Captain America has been busy digging his career's grave with his mouth lately.

Too bad as I liked him as Falcon.
