Such classic threads for this crazy leftist echo chamber.

LOL, I hadn't seen the Gay Space Communism thread yet. You have to wonder if some of these threads aren't started by a Titania McGrath-type who's just trying to lure the loonies out of the woodwork so they can be laughed at by normal people. Seems to me like these freaks would get more sexual satisfaction out of simply inserting random household objects up their asses than playing RPGs.

Who says they don't do that WHILE playing rpgs?
The gay space communism thread is so fucking out there. There's nothing more pathetic than reading a bunch of pseudo-intellectual garbage.
As far as the other one: sadly pathetic. People who want to "punch a Nazi in the face", and yet most of the rainbow-haired nut-job brigade are highly anti-Semitic.
and then there is this fucking guy...

"Fully-Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism."
Replace "Fully-Automated" with "Magic" and "Space" with "Fantasy" and you have what they're trying to turn D&D into.

Knowing that, then why do you bother to read it?
That anti-fascism thread makes me wish someone would write a satire punch-a-nazi super-hero game where the players play Progressive heroes! The heroes have privilege points that are compared against the oppression points of a villains and villians have specific powers such as person of color (which makes all attacks against them at half power) or unique pronouns (which nullifies all priviledge points used against them by Progressive-man!)
Does it cost any money to put up a Kickstarter?

Right back at ya, numb nuts. I do admire your tenacity, coming back to a forum time after time where nobody likes you.
You're either stubborn or stupid.
I can't decide which.

I read that like five times and have no clue wtf he's talking about. Or her. Xir. Whatever.
Also, the "anti-fascist" thread...wtf is wrong with these people? I bet if you made a thread asking for anti-communist RPGs you'd be permabanned instantly.

The thing is, we didn't punch Nazis. We shot and killed them. If they're not going to follow through and kill those they deem Nazis, then it shows they either don't think they're really Nazis, or intend to degrade the concept into toothless mush.

Wouldn't self-professed socialists technically be Nazis? Anyway...
Bringing it back to RPGs, and to address the original comment I replied to, the internet has amplified the voices of the mentally ill to such a degree that people legitimately think it's all fucking insane maniacs running around with blue hair, clamoring about puberty blockers and not being able to pay their student loans because they blew all their money on Hawk Tuah coin. They're such a small, small portion of society that it's incredible we even consider them in any capacity. The RPG thing, in my experience most gamers, in general, sure, nerds and whatever, but a lot of the older ones are married with families and have real jobs and stuff. The younger ones are usually in college or working their way up the corporate ladder. For the most part, they are normal. All it takes is a few thousand obnoxious fucktards on a messageboard, spread over seven continents, to make us all look bad.
That said, RPGs are meant to be played with your friends; it's a very social activity that has, sadly, become less and less social due to the push for electronic gaming and including people who have no business being outside a mental institution.
Gay Space Communism? in connection with the "Star Trek" setting?
Gee in the campaign I ran the past two years a player character was in a lesbian relaionship wi9h an NPC crewmember and it was No Big Deal. Its the 'Future' for pity's sake....

Well, in their defense, have you seen much in the way of straight space communism RPG conversation going around the internet since 1989? I haven't personally and I've been on the internet since just before the first graphical web browser. Maybe rainbow reds in SPAAAACE is the baseline for that subgenre... :)

No, I believe you make the site look bad, by putting words in other posters' mouths. New users here might assume that low-effort snark and trolling is the norm here, when it's mostly just you and a couple other posters that do so. Pundit just hasn't gatekept enough...

I think the fact RPG.net has had a pride flag as its logo for years now speaks volumes. It's basically Reddit of forums; anything not following leftist bullshit and believing all left-wing propaganda makes you a "bigot" and you should be banned.

This is the kind of statement that, if taken out of its RPG.net context, I would have no idea if it's parody or not.
it's too bad rpg.net removed the bans they do. The stuff they ban you for is, shall we say, alarming.

I don't believe there is a need for gate keeping on a site that embraces free speech. Other posters are capable of recognizing diarrhea of the mouth when they see it.

Free Speech is amazing until people start raising good counterpoints. It's why the Left is so for censorship.
A good rule of thumb is if a side is calling for censorship, it's because their actual positions are crap that reality can't support.
We can't truly gatekeep in any event, no more than the Redditors can. We can refuse to let an X-card wielder join us for a game, but just like they can't stop us from gathering and playing how we like, we can't stop them from ERPing a tiefling/goblin tranny orgy every weekend. Pundit can boot people off of his site however he pleases, but that doesn't make them vanish any more than RPGnet's bans have made those people disappear. They'll simply collect somewhere else.
