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.

Quote from: rawma;807277I got all excited about murderous undines summoning formless undead (creeping grave mold? gaseous form vampires? level draining ghostly miasmas?), and then I looked again and realized I need better reading glasses or a larger screen. :(

Or just to stop reading GamerGate threads.

Every time, EVERY time! I'm in a used book store and I happen to pass by a copy of the Sword of Shannara and catch a glimpse of the title out of the corner of my eye, I always thinks for a moment that its a book called "The Sword of Shanana".

I'm convined, somewhere in Lucien's Library is a book called the Sword of Shanana that is actually the most awesome post-Tolkien fantasy novel ever written.
But here in the real world we're stuck with Terry Brooks :(

ANYways, I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that far worse than anything done by Gamergate or Anti-gamergate amorphous unlead movements are forum threads ABOUT Gamergate.

I miss the days when the biggest flamewars were on threads about Bigfoot.

Now I desperately want someone to write "The Sword of Shanana".
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Quote from: Snowman0147;807225Okay for all those who are saying what about the journalists getting harassed I have a question for you.  What about decent none harassing members of gamergate that do in fact get harass by anti-gamergate.  Even some of the journalists that you are defending had made death threats, doxing, and just general harassment towards these none harassing gamergate people.  Why are you willing to put a blind eye to that harassment, but continue to complain about the harassment that the journalists receive?  Can you not see how that looks like a double standard and makes you look like a hypocrite?

Well you see, you see, those are white cis shits claiming harassment, and if it's a PoC ( a term I find incredibly offensive), it's a sock puppet for a whit cis shit.  Acceptable targets man!

In all seriousness though, it's rather telling how one sided the press coverage of this whole thing plays truth to exactly the complaints #GG has about journalism.

It's a singing sword, that covers hits of the 1950s!

Person of Colour, aka coloured person. You know, a racist term back under a sjw label that's totally ok.

We used to discourage students from saying things like that at my school (English for adults) because of the racist vibe it gave off. This was quite frustrating for them, because it's a common thing to say in some of their languages. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to note the baffling rules of American political correctness are shifting again.

I'd rather just call the 60's and demand they take their slacktivists back.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

Everytime I see SJW I now read it as "See Jesus Weep"
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

See, I associate the 60s with actual activism. Human rights marches, anti-war protests, and feminism back when it was something I supported 100%
