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.

Finally, a Debate!

This is going to require a dump truck of popcorn to go through.

Who will the moderator? 

What's the over/under on time before someone pulls out the race/sex/class/*ist/*phobe card?

Is there a scoreboard/drinking game when key words are mentioned?

I look forward to watching this absolute shitshow with glee.  Should be good times!

No moderator. But agreed upon rules; we'll see if they're followed. All of those cards are likely to be played (most likely by my opponent) at some point. The drinking games must be organized by the livechat crowd.

You could at least be reasonable and have this stuff on the weekends when we don't have work the next day...
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

So....who is CW Chanter? I think I'm missing some context around the dude.

I'd never heard of the guy before. Honestly, from my first impressions the dude is unkempt and has the funky new age guru vibe about him (which isn't a win in my book).

So back to google.

Well, you obviously lost that bet. Feel free to send me the $100 in the form of a Youtube Super Thanks.

He's not anyone especially important. He's a relatively newbie Youtube gaming channel, who got notoriety only this past week, for calling out Grimjim and accusing him of being an accomplice to Zak and Jrients in having conspired to put out this article. We address that in the livestream.

The thing that made him worthy of being on my channel is just that he's the first Progressive Leftist in at least TEN YEARS who actually wanted to debate, rather than just cancel people or hide.

Wow. Healthy debate and dialogue. Who knew?
1. I'm a married homeowner with a career and kids. I won life. You can't insult me.

2. I've been deployed to Iraq, so your tough guy act is boring.

RPGPundit

Yes, I think this video went very well.

You two spent more time agreeing than disagreeing, but it was worth it. Props to CW for being willing to debate on your channel.

There's so much I don't know about the 2010s OSR culture wars. Is there a timeline somewhere?

Also, now that it's been shown that one can sue these people and get a retraction and settlement from them, do you intend to take that path?
