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.

D&D SJWs Want Segregation

Quote from: FortunatoSegregation (note the capitalization). That was the FORCED BY LAW separation of people in accordance with race. This group of people deciding to run an LBGTQ-only game is NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL. The key being there is no force of law behind what they are doing.
Quote from: S'mon;1114694I think the idea is it's 'segregation' if it's enforced from above, eg by Convention organisers. Private assembly wouldn't count, so a home game wouldn't count.
From Pundit's video, it seemed he was applying the accusation against anyone who played games in public - even if it's self-organized.

I agree with Fortunato - a group of LGBT gamers who want to have an all-LGBT game - whether for their home game or a public game - aren't enforcing segregation, any more than a bachelorette party at a local restaurant or any other get-together.

I think SJW sorts maybe do this sort of thing in their proclamations because they dont have IRL friends and basically want to be certain that prospective first friend will maybe agree with them about everything all the time.

Who needs laws when culture does that for you?

False equivalency.

(Force of culture) != (Force of law)

Just because the people who are beating your ass down and making you bleed on the ground are not wearing badge doesn't mean you are not getting a beating.  Remember in some cities when Antifa get violent the police will just let them do it until some one stands up against Antifa.  Then that some one gets arrested by the police.

The worst you get from any cultural force is labeled an asshole.  You are talking about a mob.  That's not a force of culture, it's a mob.

Hence my statement stands.

SJWs have accomplished a whole fuck ton of stuff, without many laws to support them. Heck without even much backing to their threats on a monetary level. They accomplished it on a purely memetic cultural level.
Law and Culture is like fire and water. While fire looks superficially more impressive and destructive, water is erosive and can carve mountains.
Id say the fact that people don't realize this makes SJWs even more powerful.

I, however, support the right of anybody to discriminate to maintain whatever ingroup they prefer.

What do you think influence that mob into violence in the first place?  Couldn't it because they want to change the current culture for their culture aka cultural revolution.

To be totally clear, and I don't care if you agree, let me show you (right here and now) the worst thing that will happen to you due to cultural force.

All right continue on ignoring the fact that once you control the control the culture you can start manipulating people to do what you want them to do.  I mean it isn't like the communists hadn't tried that...  Oh wait they did and they succeeded in taking over countries where they then slaughtered millions of people.

For some one who says he is ignoring me you sure like to reply to my statements.

I mean will you be ignoring me as well? I mean it's your right, I just don't think you were being fair to snowman.

He and I reached a point in which it was clear, no one was moving on their view.  He didn't take the hint, I wasn't inclined to continue wasting time.  Plus it was, imo, a funny demonstration.

He replied to you exactly three times--the first time perhaps sarcastically, but still making a point, the other two briefly elaborating with actual arguments and even bring up real life examples of what he meant--and at none of your replies back did you actually address his points. You simply dismissed them twice and then blocked him. There was no point "reached". You simply didn't want your bullshit unchallenged, so you retreated to your echo chamber instead.

That's his right; if he want's to ignore, he can. If you/me/anyone/everyone wants to think he's an asshole for doing so, that's your/my/their right.
