Quote from: Nexus;898005So I get an ever so passive aggressive implication from Stephen Lea Shepherd that I'm "making a bid deal out of something"and I guess derailing the thread by talking about... reading Exalted 3rd in the WIR Exalted 3rd bv posting literally "Oh, that's different." about a revealed detail.

But "Silvercatmoonpaw" whines about the setting not being egalitarian enough and he'd introduce mass produced Exalts to make it "fair" and that discussion goes on for a page with not a peep from Stephen Lea Shepherd.

They're not even trying hide it anymore.

Honestly, I'm absolutely shocked they haven't just banned you at this point. I'm pretty sure they're just waiting for any tiny excuse to (at the very least) give you a topic ban.

Honestly, I'm surprised too.

SLS can eat a steaming pile of human shit and go fuck off. That batshit douche needs to just go the hell away.

Don't sugarcoat it AC. Tell us how you really feel.

Considered that I was banned for asking what the proper terms are for what the porn industry calls a "shemale," specifically and explicitly because I wanted to know if the terminology I thought was correct was correct, I'm sometimes surprised that anyone not a mod hasn't been banned for a week or more at some point. Especially since banning offences can include "using actual facts about the subject under discussion."

Here's what baffles me.  Why are so many people from the Outrage Brigade just absolutely glued to Exalted?  It legitimately had a supplement in 2e that was all about sex and such, and featured a sorcery spell that basically got you tentacle-raped by a Neverborn.

Not to mention one of the Death Lords is a dominatrix and has connections with the house of rape.

The one that chopped off arms of monks and forced them to bone?  Yyyyup.

You're assuming a level of rational thought and logic here.  Not to disparage them, but this is theirs.  Their thing.  And something I've noticed, like some individuals and say, the OSR (and yeah, I'm guilty of this too), once they get something that they claim is 'theirs', they'll irrationally overlook anything and everything they need to, as long as they have their 'thing'.

Expecting humans to be rational at all times is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

That's not a reason to avoid a game, that's a reason to take its books to the bathroom!

Quote from: Christopher Brady;898076You're assuming a level of rational thought and logic here...

I kind of do.  I think honestly, a lot of the outrage brigade aren't really outraged.  They're just trying to run people out, and circling the wagons with loons that lash out at anything they're told to be offended by.

I am under the impression that a lot of people involved in Exalted 3 were already there for the Exalted 1 and 2 so I am very baffled that they made special effort to take down in Exalted 3 many things that were coll in the Exalted 1 and 2 ...

And SLS is so passive aggressive in the WIR thread. It is good thing that he is also a mod so he get an "get oof the jail" card ...

Remember: Its okay to like Problematic things. Well for them too, you..not so much.

More seriously, Exalted's staff has gotten called on the carpet about allot of things, someof the ones you mentioned. And generally made the appropriate the sorry noises and appeasement gestures and was forgiven. Apparently the setting is so "inclusive" and "progressive" otherwise that some mistakes can be forgiven. But yeah, there is allot of material in earlier editions that would get other game on the must be banned list. But this edition has promised to fix all that.

To be fair, the sex supplement Scroll of Swallowed Darkness was an April Fool's Joke that the generally act embarrassed about these days. There was however (and maybe still is?) a pretty active part of the fanbase that was pretty into adult material. There was at least one website, some webcomics about it and Rpg.net itself used to have an annual "NC-17" Exalted content (with prizes) where posters submitted entries like a Luna Beloved Kitten (Luna's little girl lover and avid zoophile)and Zenith caste Solar, former shrine maiden from a temple to a Fertility/Phallus God who fought with an giant Oriachilum Dildo shaped grand goremaul named "Violator of Giants" that her 1st Age incarnation used to, lets say distract a Behemoth from its rampaging.It actually generated some amusing stuff. Really the setting's often brazen and non conventional approach to presenting sexuality was originally one of the positive aspect according to the board.  

The pole really hasn't been so far up rpg.net's collective backside for that long. That might have been a bad way to put it...

The Lover clad in Raiment of Tears?


The setting detail that amazes me that, as far as I've seen, no one has ever really made an issue of is the backstory provided for The Midnight Lady in Bloodstained Robes (the 1/2ed Abyssal sig that went bare breasted) in Scroll of Exalted. I'm pretty casual about these things but it was pretty ugly, it read like the author was writing revenge porn about a woman he didn't like in real life, She was a vain, dim witted prostitute that got so riddled with disease she was foul to be around and eventually her fellow prostitutes killed her and threw her body in a sewer which she climbed out of on Exaltation. And even as a Abyssal she was fairly dim and lecherous to the point she'd get distracted by her own highly pornographic anima images.

If I recall correctly, and this was many years ago so I can be wrong, the Midnight Lady was based on a former girlfriend of one of the authors. I don't remember what site or thread that information came from. Maybe the old White Wolf forums or an old rpg.net thread.
