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.

I half expected him to show the scene from The Rocketeer and put text over it saying "BEWARE THE NAZI THREAT IN THE OSR!"

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.

How could you find out the dislikes?
Chrome has an extension called "Return YouTube Dislike" that allows you to see Dislikes.

I think Edge might have the same extension.

I get where you're coming from Pundit, but "Nazi" has been worn out to the point where it's lost its sting. We should start using a word that these people claim to hate: Colonizer.
Think about it; these people are outsiders who come into a space that's been occupied for generations,  force their ideology and way of living on the natives, tear down the pre-existing culture ("Orc are RaScIsT!", and the various attacks on Gary Gygax and his legacy), and resistance is met with threats of exile or destruction.
the whole thing sounds pretty "colonialist" to me.

Not to mention the Cultural Imperialism of trying to change cultures not their own to fit their cult's purity standards... Except those cultures of a certain religion of piece, those are beautiful and feminist or some shit.

I agree. Trying to avoid interjecting off topic issues, but I can think of lots of activist topics that were hijacked by the woke and made to serve their agenda.

Accusing them of colonialism is fine, they're trying to be that when it comes to their imagined ownership of non-white groups, and with their imperialist attempt to impose "latinx" on Latinos who don't want it, because it's "for their own good".

But all of these still come down to SJWs sharing Nazi ideas. They think race is the most important thing about humans. They think races must be segregated or one must dominate another. That's what is motivating this idea that THEY must speak for black people or Latinos or muslims.

They also in every iteration love to lace the rhetoric with some new way of actuating "white mans burden". They WILL bitch incessantly FOR you and in YOUR name.

Good, Bad, Ugly - Pundit/Joe, MaxLiao, Heathendog. Had to ultimately shut it off due to Heathendog.

The shoutout for Star Adventurer was on point.

Yeah, as soon as his video started with references to the Third Wave project, I knew it was going to be comedy gold.  Anytime you see one of these idiots reference it, the ironic humor meter goes off the scale.

...but these are people who make statements like

1.  If  you have 1 Nazi at a table and 10 people are talking to them then you have 11 Nazis.
2.  If you agree with even 1 thing Nazis espoused you are a Nazi.

---which shows they have less accurate knowledge of the topic than the average 10-year-old who just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time.

Right?! And the way he said he was just trying to educate people. Their side always claims they think critically.....I'm not sure most know how to think critically anymore (present company excepted).
