Adam Koebel (Dungeonworld) Shows Just how Toxic Male Feminists Are

SHARK · April 29, 2020, 11:24:00 AM

Greetings!

Yeah, beards look pretty damned cool on KUNG FU MASTERS! Can't forget the badass, old kung fu masters.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Quote from: Doc Sammy;1127473Agreed. I still don't know why all these fucks have ugly beards.

Go clean shaven. It looks much better and is also less skeevy.

I'm just happy that beards are in style with these buffoons. Remember, it used to be top-knots (man buns)!

The Three Rules of Wearing a Top-Knot:
1)Are you Toshiro Mifune?
2)If yes, you may wear a top knot.
3)If no, you may NOT wear a top-knot.

He's back on Twitter. But only because "It's no time to stay silent with all this injustice going on..."

Fear not, the pronoun people are already piling on. At least it might take the heat off Mike Mearls for a while.

Quote from: Wicked Woodpecker of West;1128223Well trimmed beards or mustaches alone are sign of effeminity, just like SJW's pseudolumberjack painted beards.

That's dumb. Plenty of SJWs with bushy beards or well-trimmed beards.

QuoteI don't feel that the trust and support necessary to take creative risks is present in the broadcasting space I belonged to.

No matter your opinions on The Incident - I certainly don't have any strong ones - I do find it amusing that he more or less tries to spin the entire thing into one big, "I am the victim" post. As one of the posts on that Reddit post above says, if somebody else did this he would be among the first people calling for their heads. Live by the sword, die by the sword indeed, but the practitioners of Cancel Culture never expect their own blasphemy laws to one day be applied to them.

The opening paragraphs about turning his Hobby into his Business is good stuff. Anyone considering doing the same should take note. He is speaking from experience with sincerity.

The mid-section is interesting because he describes what happens when you encourage a SJW fandom. Anyone who recruits the mentally unstable as their audience is playing with fire. The insane eat their own and mobs can never be appeased. Here's a quote:

I'm being emailed anonymous threats of harm if I ever return to broadcasting or attend a convention, messages telling me I shouldn't exist at all let alone be allowed to "come back" -- voices shouting that nothing I had previously said or done or made mattered in the face of my mistake. People are telling me that redemption, for me, is impossible. I've been invited to end my own life to prevent the further harm I will certainly cause.

Even I'm not cold enough to not feel (some) empathy. Unless your "mistake" involves vicious crimes, there is zero reason for these responses. Adam was an asshat, not a criminal.

The picture at the bottom of Adam in pink hair tells it all. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Nothing he did couldn't be solved by an apology between reasonable adults. "Reasonable" is the problem. There's are reason we refer to these people as the "Outrage Brigade", but they're more like locusts. They swoop in, destroy everything, and then move on to the next target. They've all but devoured comic books and they're working on comedians.

Pretty much. I saw a clip of the "mistake" and it barely even deserved an apology. So he gave a robot an electronic orgasm. Who cares?!? The guy tried to be funny but came out weird. So fucking what?

The whole thing was cringy, but that's about it. It wasn't anything even seriously disturbing. More like failing at being edgy. Now these people want to literally end this guy over a quip.

I do get a bit of schadenfreude from idiots like him getting a taste of the type of histrionic, self-entitled audience that he carefully tried to cultivate. But these people are insane vultures.

There is no mercy and forgiveness in the world he and his ilk have created. Are they satisfied now?

(No, of course not. They are as unhappy and frustrated as ever.)

Well, he is a victim in this case - that he'd likely be part of the Cancel Culture mob in other circumstances does not change that. The SJW gamer community is toxic, and while his "welcome to my android rape Magical Realm" brainfart was a massive dick move, the punishment was far out of proportion to the offence. I don't have to like him to see that. Nobody should be getting "You should kill yourself now" emails for what he did.

Yup, "Let he who is without fuckup cast the first stone" should be the principle here, not "You made one mistake, you're out!"

ArrozConLeche · June 09, 2020, 09:02:57 AM

I think that the principle here is "hoist by your own petard". I still hope people let him be eventually.

If he is getting death threats, he should contact the authorities.

QuoteSome, however, believe otherwise. I continue to be the recipient of hate, vitriol and targeted abuse both in public and in private spaces. I'm being emailed anonymous threats of harm if I ever return to broadcasting or attend a convention, messages telling me I shouldn't exist at all let alone be allowed to "come back" -- voices shouting that nothing I had previously said or done or made mattered in the face of my mistake. People are telling me that redemption, for me, is impossible. I've been invited to end my own life to prevent the further harm I will certainly cause. Those voices influenced the people responsible for my contracted work. They led to Roll20 cancelling Roll20 Presents and Jace Beleren Must Die. They led to Andrews McMeel Publishing cancelling the last two episodes of Eat the Rich. My mistake started an avalanche of cascading collapse, fuelled by the most aggressive cruelty I've ever experienced.

This is exactly the culture he helped create and put himself forward as a leader of. I will shed no tears.
