You really oughta get rid of that enemies list of yours you keep on twitter to make that stick.

Quote from: CRKrueger;751693Hell man, I wasn't calling you out on anything, just pointing out the irony.

It's cool. You were right, though; as a result of this fuckup, Grim is going to do something to make the world better, while Ettin isn't.

Anyway. Donation made.

Quote from: Rincewind1;751700I know, if we'd leave it up to Brits, it'd take us a better part of the year, like back in '39.

Well, now you guys have all invaded the UK, so I guess we're evens.

Quote from: Snowman0147;750672Look when it comes to real cases of civil rights sign me up for it.  I will help, vote, and try my best to improve the quality of life for other people.  

I am 100% confident in stating that no.  No, you won't.  Otherwise you'd be doing that instead of bitching about the Internet's reaction to a shitty game.

You know.  Kind of like the SJW's you hate so much.

Quote from: CRKrueger;751694It will include pee-hole tonguing, or a lot of beer I expect.

I will setting for giving beer.  Beer the universal language of peace.  Well...  till your drunk and want to brawl.

Will you also hold hands and sing songs? :cheerleader:

What's funnier than the playbook (and I've seen a couple funny excerpts) is the backpedalling and dodging going on in the thread about the playbook when someone asked Ettin which charity he was giving his profits to.

Ladybird probably did more good in the real world today then Ettin has done the entire time he's been doing the SJW schtick at awful purple.

Not only that, we will dance the Tango.

But only if I lead.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;751665I find it very off putting that these two guys are using a legitimate storefront as a platform to continue their little bitchfest.  It speaks very badly of our industry that this is happening.

*edit*  And if you're gonna sell something to "get back at him" Paul, at least have the guts to use your real name.  The fact that you actually spent a significant amount of time making this shows that you do in fact care, and are no better than him.  It's one thing to act the way you do on your own blog, or even TBP, but don't hijack DTRPG because you think you're funny.

Congrats on that.

Nothing like promoting cross-site drama there Ettin, or whoever it is.

Quote from: CRKrueger;751671Notice, however, that Ettin, in the true internet SJW fashion of not actually helping anyone, isn't giving away half the proceeds to a real charity organization helping people, unlike Grim who is.

This I like and respect.

Quote from: Ladybird;751678Alright, that's a fair point.

So here's the deal; I paid 59p for Ettin's thing. I won't buy anything from Grim, but even if I did buy a copy of Privilege, that would effectively only be a £3 donation.

So pick a charity, that operates in the UK, and I'll donate £10 to it - which might not be a lot, but is more than I would have donated tonight otherwise. If you don't respond in the next hour, then it'll go to a local cancer charity.

This I also like and respect. Fair play to you.

The difference being:

Grim - I mock hippies
Ettin - I mock THAT hippy there because he's a piece of shit.

IMHO.

I've come out in several places (oo-er! Calm down OG, no dick jokes please!) with my opinion on how Social Justice Warriors have "poisoned the well". An comment I received back stated:

QuoteI have restrained myself from commenting because there are a few people I'm working with who are involved in the discussion/work in the industry/are present on the site.

That is how it is. Discussion is co-opted by the pearly-swine and those who would speak up don't for fear of reprisals both personally and professionally.

Fuck. That. McCarthy era, or am I overstating the comparison?

Quote from: Sacrosanct;751238I admit, I had to look this up


Can anyone please explain to my simple mind how Holdren can describe a game where it's awesome to be a lawyer defending a rapist and that's all cool, but if someone says rape can be a powerful plot point in fiction then they are advocating rape themselves?

Anyone?  Maybe if I rub two sticks together one of the mods over there can answer this, because it makes no sense to me.

Is that the game where the defendant is automatically assumed to be guilty?

Quote from: Old Geezer;751753Not only that, we will dance the Tango.

But only if I lead.

I thought it would be like the whoville at Christmas time and no I am not talking about the god awful movie that Jim Carrey did either.  I am talking about the old school half and hour long cartoon that is a true classic.

Righteous Snap would have been much better.

Quote from: One Horse Town;751759Righteous Snap would have been much better.

You forgot self.

Quote from: Rincewind1;751761You forgot self.

I dunno. I'm fed up with the whole deal. Someone writes something stupid and offensive and rightly catches flack for it, while this other guy over there somewhere writes something equally offensive and gets a free pass just 'cos.

There's a scattergun approach being employed that gets people who are barely involved, you get sarky shits who aren't just happy with you agreeing with them - you have to show the mandated level of offense and step up to hit the piggy on a rope, or you know, you're as bad as Hitler.

It's very depressing and i'm glad that in reality about 1% of the people on RPG forums bother getting involved, but it's really does poison everything.

Gaming should not be a political tool and it is becoming one.

Gaming should be fun escapism and i support minorities being reflected properly in their hobby of choice. However, gaming itself shouldn't be about real-life politics in a fictional milieu - sure, hold a mirror up to reflect your views and wishes, but for fuck sake don't piss in the fun pot to do it.

Quote from: Kemper Boyd;751707You really oughta get rid of that enemies list of yours you keep on twitter to make that stick.

Can't sleep (the missus is running an online event for World Goth Day and pumping bass makes it hard to sleep), so may as well answer this.

It's not an enemies list. It's a list of arseholes (sexists. SWERFs TERFs, racists, goons, symbiotic trolls, sincere trolls and general purpose wankers) that I have blocked, but want to keep an eye on for when the next outrage du jour comes along.
