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.

There's something about Exalted...

Quote from: Nexus;855996The last two or three pages in the Rpgnet Exalted leak discussion show a decided shift in some of the fanbase attitude towards sexual material.

What, left wing neo-puritanism?

Yeah, I guess that's one way to describe it.
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Democracy, meh? (538)

 "The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn't even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it."

its a little surreal to me to see people claiming the Progressive Left labels advocating some of the same things that I remember the Right being decried for promoting as far sexuality goes. I really wonder how far that particular pendulum is going to swing.

Extreme Right Prudishness: Everything that gives you pleasure is a sin.

Extreme Left Prudishness: Everything that gives you pleasure is problematic.
