Quote from: GeekEclectic;1055447I lost 60 pounds this year thanks (in part) to bacon. I am not kidding. Bacon is the absolute best.

It's a delicious fat, my friend! Absolutely delicious. Have you had a taco shell made of bacon? 'Murca!

Congratulations on losing weight! It's an awesome feeling to shed pounds.

Quote from: TJS;1055459Jazz was a mistake.  Walmart is proof of that.
Hip Hop was a mistake. Trump is proof of that.
Sapphic lyrics were a mistake.  Pandas are proof of that.

Huh, the more you know, eh?

Quote from: TJS;1055459It's more the non-sequiter - what do you think punk and TBP have to do with each other?

You take my point.

Punk ideology is attractive to regressive leftist hipster types, and a lot of the RPG.net elites are Goths and Punks, most notably Darren MacLerran (AKA Cannibal Smiley), degenerate doxxer Olivia Hill, and the disgraced tree-jumper Black Hat Matt.

Quote from: Warboss Squee;1055189No member of a mob has ever considered the possibility that they might be in the wrong or that their "allies" might turn on them. That's been true since there's been more than three people on earth.

Yeah, but I didn't think rpg.net was or would become a mob.

Quote from: Crawford Tillinghast;1055301DAMN if his post doesn't look like a "press conference."

As long as it isn't in Trouble Tickets, it isn't against the rules.

Quote from: Ratman_tf;1055307Any mod from TBP lost the value of that card when they announced they were going to mod people for off-site behavior.

This is why using their real names and aliases can no longer be considered #Doxxing. If they're spying on your feed to enforce conduct elsewhere, you have a right to know who they are.

Quote from: Haffrung;1055378It really is disheartening to discover how many people will go along with nonsense beliefs and behaviours they don't share in a desperate effort to earn some esteem in the eyes of people who don't genuinely care much about them.

High School in a nutshell.

Quote from: Ratman_tf;1055423Of course. Social Justice has become, among other things, the minister character from Footlose.

Zero degrees of Kevin Bacon.

They also seems attracted to role playing games...

Only because they are easily attracted to easily bullied targets.

I appreciate the support. If anybody on TheRPGSite wants to purchase the physical books, email me at alex@autarch.co (it's .co, not .com) and I'll offer you a 15% discounted price, free PDF with each book, and free shipping in the US.  Fight on!

Is that a better deal for you than your cut from an Amazon sale?  I don't care anything about a PDF, and Amazon is easier for me, but if it puts money in your pocket, I'll gladly do it the other way.

Not that early punks were actually neo-nazis - the swastika was more of a fuck you anti-authoritarian thing.   Of course many punks went left - but that was also in many cases a fuck-you anti-authoritarian thing.

Moderating a rpg forum which bans people incessantly = not punk.  (But it shouldn't be surprising they're fake punks - they're also fake leftists).

But you can hardly blame the punk movement for having such energy that half a century later a bunch of hipster wannabees want to appropriate it.

jesus christ, it's a swastika! Everybody start eating your own children so the nazis can't get them first!

The only roleplaying most of Tangency do is pretending to be gamers. The typical Tangencyite is a gamer in the same way a Benedictine monk is heterosexual, in theory only.

Well, unless you count the guys in fursuits as roleplaying.

It puts a bit more into my pocket if you order direct but when you add in the time/handling it's so marginal that if you're Amazon Prime and getting free shipping, it's all about the same. Either way, thank you for the support!

Quote from: sureshot;1055342Not defending the person yet I think it's less drinking the kool-aid and more afraid of having the mob turning against him which they will if your not part of their mindless herd. I have a friend who acts the same way. Virtue signalling, denouncing his own sexuality. Bending over backwards to accommodate fellow SJWs.  Up until recently he never gave a crap about any of that. Suddenly to be part of the cool kids club he threw any shred of dignity he had left. Which is sad to see.

Well, in general I agree that the feeling of belonging is extremely important to most people, but I have to disagree here about Bailywolf. Last I saw, Bailywolf had become one of the worst preachers over there, starting threads on the topic of the "problematic" male sexuality, shaming guys for saying they like hot women etc.

Another (perhaps related) thing was that he seemed paranoid about his children's toys, so he said that he makes the toys for his children rather than buying them. On its own it could be seen as a good thing, but I suspect that he's trying to shield his kids from outside influence. Maybe I'm reading too much into that though, but I do know some parents are paranoid about giving girls anything that is pink for instance.

I like many bands that were influenced by punk, but I don't like punk itself. Every time I listen to it I get a strong vibe of "I hate you mommy and daddy!", sometimes almost literally.

Ordered it from Amazon this afternoon.  Looking forward to it.  It's the only game product I've bought so far this year.
