Quote from: Blood Axe;1093841Many "Nazis" where you are? I've never saw one in person.

Not literally "punch" or "Nazi" but then again I have never seen a "Mearls" in person either so who knows.

Great video. You called it!

Now I whenever an SJW trashes you (for being anti-LGBT, gatekeeping, whatever) we can quote

Quote from: RPG Pundit at 26:16Just say No to the SJWs, but you can still say Yes to LGBT people... we want everyone to play.

Frankly WotC crashing and burning in a flaming pile of wokeness would probably be good for my own game system's prospects. My general gaming preferences and design skew more in the direction of 4E/5e than OSR (i.e. the general audience for 5e who might be looking for an alternative to Woke-edition D&D). It's still d20-based, with better math scaling, has 4E's interesting toys approach to "martial" classes (without the narrativist bits) and has about 5e's level of complexity overall.

And it's not a SJW-focused dumpster fire.

Hasn't this happened a couple of times before? I don't enjoy it as much as Frog God getting attacked despite their SJW edition of S&W, but it's still amusing.

I still don't understand why Zak S is considered anti-gay, when he's literally a porn star - there's probably not a porno movie without a lesbian scene. I can understand him may or may not being a scuzzbag towards women, but that seems to be a minor issue.

Quote from: Shasarak;1093839I am genuinely torn.  Mike was responsible for the two worst versions of DnD and on the other hand I do like to punch Nazis.

Well there are alot of SJWs out there so you should be busy for a long long time punching em. Half of em extols and use the exact same tactics and worse. The rest goosestep to their mini-fuher's orders.

As for Mike.

Well. We called it way back and here we are. Just not from the angle expected really. But this whole "guilt by association" joke has gained alot of momentum lately as an attack method by these loons.

Mearls might bend knee and beg forgiveness.
Mearls might become true-woke and tell them all to fuck off.
Mearls might be forced out of WOTC, or cons, or whatever.
Mearls might throw someone else under the bus as a scapegoat saving throw.
Mearls might spin doctor this as a big misunderstanding and how he was forced by the mean ol execs to have ever had anything to do with Zak.

I suspect right now hes a bit confused why HE is being attacked by them. "But but but I thought we were friends!"

Mike. There are no friends amongst these sociopaths.

I still think overall his intentions were probably well intended when he supported them before.

Quote from: Blood Axe;1093841Many "Nazis" where you are? I've never saw one in person.

I'm pretty sure I met one in Serbia in the mid-80s. Old East German man, seriously hard looking dude who wanted to know if my mother was Jewish. Mom's Noo Yawk Eyetalian, which often gets mistaken for Jewish.

I'm definitely sure he'd gut anyone who punched him. A-grade creepy motherfucker.

Never met a real Nazi, but I once saw Richard Spencer (before he was banned from the UK by Theresa May) extolling his vision of the Great White Reich, so I tend to think that counts for Neo-Nazi, though he'd have denied it at the time. I liked how the next speaker (Sean Gabb of Libertarian Alliance) politely told him that in Britain our traditions were Locke & Bentham, not Evola. I think refuting bad guys' words is a lot more effective than yelling at them (or punching them).

Really? Have you ever seen an actual Nazi? Not the make believe "Nazis" the Left sees (i.e. everyone who doesn't agree with the Left), but an actual Nazi? Did you punch them?

The Nazi's call themselves "Antifa" these days.

Quote from: Aglondir;1093844Great video. You called it!

Now I whenever an SJW trashes you (for being anti-LGBT, gatekeeping, whatever) we can quote

Personally, I"m not pro-LGBT. I think the movement has gone off the rails with SJW identity politics. I accept all players of good character, and don't care if they're gay or whatever, but they can keep their politics in their back pocket at my table while we play.

Its the 80s all over again. Except exponentally worse.

You aren't the only one.  A recent study that has the LGBTQA+etc community, as well as TBP, wringing their hands shows that young people are losing interest in supporting the movement.

Here's a small sample for those not wanting to follow a link to Breitbart:

QuoteAmong the survey's findings are that the acceptance of LGBTQ individuals among young women dropped from 65 percent in 2016 to 64 percent in 2017, and then plunged to 52 percent in 2018. Among males, 62 percent were accepting in 2016, plunging to 40 percent in 2017, and then further down to 35 percent in 2018.

Of course this is all being blamed on Trump and the rise of homophobia.  It couldn't have anything to do with people, young men in particular, getting sick of being told to move aside, shut up and listen, they are the problem, etc day in and day out by all these groups.

There is a growing list of "Got Woke, Went Broke" products and future customers (who are pretty liberal in their acceptance) are getting sick of the identity politics taking things hostage.

And history is going to show that, when these people were given their "big shot" to turn things in their favor, they went completely off the deep end and killed it on their own. I accept I can be wrong on this one, but I don't think "their time" will come again. At least in my thinking not before the collapse of society itself (an event that bodes very poorly for them, historically speaking).
