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.

After reading this thread, I've got the sudden urge to try and find the "GAME WHICH SHOULD NOT BE NAMED FOR IT'S NAME IS ACCURSED AND WRETCHED AS ARE IT'S d1000 TABLES". Push back is nice and all, but how far is too far?
nb ~ i'm not arguing against pushing back, but lets not be reactionaries about this!

Why shouldn't we be reactionaries?

I would recommend going back to using "he, him, his" as neutral pronouns.
That Overton window thing needs to be kicked back a few decades.

Do you know what reverse trolling is?! DO NOT FALL FOR IT! That's all I'm saying. And the term "Reactionary" is EXACTLY what they want you to be.
Unless you are suggesting something.
Are you suggesting something?
What are you suggesting?
?

Why should we give a shit what someone wants, or doesn't want, us to be? If someone is pissing on my shoes, and I get mad about it, don't go "Bro, don't be reactionary, that's what they want!"

What if it's what we want?
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

I've NEVER had a person give me trouble to my face vis-a-vis woke crap.  Only online where they cannot be properly dealt with.  So, I ignore them

I am so proud of those of you waging the great fight against sexual predators by criticizing pronouns in books. How brave of you.

Some of you are such homophobic idiots it would be laughable if not so sad. I pray those in your personal life, including almost assuredly some in your family, don't get to hear you spout this crap at the dinner table. But then they probably do.

Who is waging a war against sexual predators?  I don't think anyone here is law enforcement but I'm sure all sane people are against sexual predators.  What ARE you inanely blathering on about?

All this "gay/woke people are sex predators" rhetoric is barely a step above the anti-Semitic slurs of Nazi Germany.

Wrong moron.  Two of the most powerful sexual predators are woke & gay people.   Oprah Winfrey and Quincey Jones.

At LEAST rent a clue before posting insanity.

Exactly. The term has gotten a negative connotation from the wokies wielding it as a political tool.

Any criticism is dismissed as "reactionary" and "extreme". It's telling how many people show up to threads like this to try and quash dissent.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Last time I checked, the worst of the "groomers" and sexual predators were the legion of rich, white, heterosexual White guys patronizing Jeffrey Epstein's home.

You should probably check again.

Ya know something?  There is only ONE type of person that gets upset when sexual predators are hunted/attacked...  Now I'm glad this site registers a posters IP address

Wrong moron.  Two of the most powerful sexual predators are woke & gay people.   Oprah Winfrey and Quincey Jones.  Also there is a VERY large and organized group of HOMOSEXUALS that works on sexually assaulting LITTLE  boys.  There is no such similar group of heterosexual men

I just can't get over the idea, that the makers of the Hardcore RPG are bothered with pronouns.  They really had something cool.  They should have held the line, and stayed silent about the pronoun silliness.  You know, just be an RPG company.

I still have my original DCC stuff from 2012 should I get the urge to run it. Their currently printed stuff doesn't concern me because my book still works just fine.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Comrade, you need to turn in your books to get the NEW AND IMPROVED versions. Non-compliance will be a strike on your social credit score. You DO like eating food, don't you?
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.
