Greetings!

"White Cishet male worldview"? WTF?

What a fucking clown. Clearly, he is a brainwashed, Leftist moron.

Normal white cultural standards are dominant--OH NOES! We live in a country that is majority WHITE, and the majority are NORMAL.

Don't like it? REEEE some more, and go pound sand.

Fuck the degenerate, Leftist retards.

The gaming hobby, and society as a whole, is far better without these degenerate Leftist morons. They should be sent to special asylums with rubber rooms, where they are pumped full of animal medicines.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

LOL! Since that is unlikely to happen, we should concentrate on spaying and neutering them early so they don't reproduce.

Greetings!

Oh yes, my friend! That would definitely be needed! The Leftists are like filthy, diseased rats. Always whispering, giggling, scheming to spread their hateful ideology. Just look at how insidious they are with their attempts to change language and words within our hobby? It is disgusting.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Greetings!

Oh yes. The American public, the gaming hobby public, so full of fucking "white supremacist and misogynism"!!! They need to be properly re-educated, right Comrade?

The smugness, the self-righteous elitism these Leftist morons have, it is mind-boggling.

Our hobby needs to drive these morons out of the hobby, ruthlessly. Laugh at them. Mock them relentlessly. Challenge them and their evil ideology, whenever they open their degenerate mouths. Never let them rest. Hound them ferociously and without mercy.

Trond, you make excellent arguments and testimony as to why the Leftist idiots need to be relentlessly opposed, everywhere, at all times. Look how your convention-going has been utterly ruined and corrupted by these troglodytes! Sad, my friend. So sad!

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

As I thought: you can't back up your claim with even a single piece of evidence. Thanks for playing. Next time, come prepared. Or better yet, choose a position based on fact rather than your feelings.

What are you basing your argument on? One guy? I literally am a writer in the RPG industry, and I know tons of people in the RPG industry. And blessedly few are right-wing reactionaries. Yeah, there's always a lot of work to be done educating mainstream people about how they've been tainted by white supremacist and misogynist ideology, but at least, in principle, most people are reasonably educated and are committed to a civil society. What do you expect me to do, cite someone's peer-reviewed study? I actually live in reality and I'm just not moved by, "Well, hey, this one white guy peed in his own pants crying about how woke everything is" and it's that guy I'm worried about, not the industry.

I wish the RPG industry were progressive, or even consistently a mainstream ally. If you don't see it that way, you're just lucky not to be affected by random dickery. In fact, you are likely part of the problem, but I'm offering you the benefit of the doubt, as well as making this argument in case anyone is actually listening.

The RPG industry is currently made up of two groups; those who are hardcore leftists, and those who shut up about politics because they know they might get deplatformed.

Who are those people? Sure as fuck not people on this board. Some people will openly acknowledge all sorts of stuff people in civil society wouldn't be caught saying.  In fact, the right-wing shit baboons have never felt more free to comment whatever they feel like saying. The RPG industry is plagued by people who think their opinions are worth sharing. Nobody shuts up.

I know very few "hardcore leftists." I know a few, but they're nice people. Most people are not hardcore, really not even leftists. Just people who acknowledge modern governance and justice, and believe people have rights and value. Most are fine with mainstream Democratic politics, plenty would be happy to even vote for Romney. They are just regular, everyday people, who write RPG books.

Also btw I am Gen X, and Gen X is really driving social progress in gaming. They are older, more employed, and tired of boomer shit. If you think "millennials" are ruining gaming, sorry, you overslept your nap, grandpa.

Rando on Internet claims to be "insider"!  News at 11!

Lots of the folks on this board are also writers, designers or industry vets, and are pretty open about what they have worked on.  So, I'm gonna need some receipts...

I guess it depends on what you mean by "overwhelming" and "woke." Do the majority of game writers prefer not to insult their customer case and prefer not to propagate reactionary viewpoints, including ones that in many cases would oppress themselves? Yeah. OTOH, the idea that the game industry is "woke" is a joke, it still overwhelmingly caters to a white cishet male viewpoint, a mainstream viewpoint that mirrors everything out in the real world. Leftists *wish* game companies were real leftists. But as it is, we've reached the level of "reasonably polite." Which some people hate.

So they cater to the correct viewpoint. Also nobody's oppressing you and it's good to be reactionary.

Tradition is good and the right wing is correct about everything.

Where do I claim to be an insider? I'm professing to know readily available, commonplace information.

I think there might be a clash of terms here. I'd say a writer is a professional, but not necessarily an insider if they only submit, rather than being on the decision-making side of things.

I must say that for a "trans" you have some big cojones to be lying right below someone providing the EXACT quote.

Bolded the part about being an insider.

Stupid and irrelevant opinion noted.

No, you claimed to know lots of people in the industry, know what they think and feel, and have information about what opinions were prevalent among the majority of people in the industry.  So post your C.V., or admit that you are lying/exaggerating (or delusional... and based on everything else you've said, that would be the logical inference...)

I mean, you know me, so I guess you all are insiders, too.

I will immediately derail this thread by espousing a belief in Moral Nihilism and demand evidence that morality is intrinsic to the universe.

The only things that I know about you is that you are a left wing barking moonbat ranter and that you are prone to making sweeping assumptions about people motives and beliefs based on, essentially, nothing at all.
