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.

The general gist of the article is that D&D game designer Kate Welch convinced all of the other game designers at Wizards of the Coast to read through an SJW Tumblr blog as a useful resource for writing "ethnically diverse" characters.



Part of that blog said (emphasis mine):



Now, it's specifically talking about writing other cultures but I can easily see it being applied on a wider scale.

Welp, I hadn't seen that article, damn I hate always being right. Wait till Pundit sees that.

Next, they'll come after those that home brew their settings instead of following what the SJW scribes have established.

Only if they want to play at the wokeventions. Good luck trying to enforce their craziness on my table.

Yes, by all means draw your red line somewhere where these people will never see it. Then make sure you keep stoking the outrage every chance you get. Perhaps you'd consider coloring your hair in an anti-danger hair but still visibly warning hue too?

I would have thought that me being a huwhite hetero male would be all the warning you would need to stay away from me lets you get triggered by my oppressive existence.

You obviously have no idea what might "trigger" me. I don't necessarily disagree with you on many of the points you've brought up, but I think you're foolish for trying to manufacture unneeded outrage. By turning everything up to 11+ you don't come across as being credible. There is no need call up a crusade for the foolish crap that you're sensationalizing.

QuoteIf you focus too much on you, you've created a situation where our religious concepts are being shared around without our nations attached to them, which is the definition of cultural appropriation. You're put your own ego in front of letting us have authorship."

Call me when they scrap Asmodeus and apologize for the appropriation of Christian concepts and imagery.

Ha! Christians are always portrayed as evil inbred cultists in their games. Do SJWs have sensitivity training focus groups for that?

I'm not calling for a crusade, hyperbole much?

But if you think I'm the one causing trouble you've got another think comming.

They are co-opting your hobbies, I'm only pointing it out.

Anita's motives and character are so transparent by now that anyone still claiming to buy their bullshit should be considered either irreparably stupid or outright lying.

It will, because they won't be satisfied until all individual interpretation is abolished.

It's not paranoia if they're actually out to get you.

It is if they have no reasonable way of actually causing you any harm. All of this alarmist bullshit means very little to me because there is so much focus on what might happen (in a crazy way) compared to what is happening. Distorted facts and sensationalism don't help.
