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 think you've said this a couple times - can you give me an example of what you consider racist that he's said or done?

She seems to have archived the interaction until it could do most damage. Which isn't staged, but is malevolent.

Yeah, that is one of the things that looks suspicious.

I'm going to do what the American Justice System claims to do:  believe that a person is Innocent Until Proven Guilty.  Until we have definite proof, not a person's word, I disbelieve all accusations. Even if my gut tells me otherwise.

I'm actually doing what logic and common sense dictates, which is to gather all possible information and analyze it before coming to a conclusion.

Like, if Mentzer made these inappropriate comments to Price in 2015 as it shows on the Twitter feed, then why did she wait so long to bring it to light?
"Meh."

Your buddy teddy doesn't think whites and blacks are equally Homo sapiens sapiens. Want me to give you more? There is plenty of evidence of Teddy and his white supremacist and racist views. He's a piece of shit and you know he is but you're playin dumb. So: fuck you. It takes very little time on his blog not to know this.

I'm sorry he thinks he's a "racial realist" because he's all scientific! And he had some club music hits and one point so he's totally smart. Vox Day and everyone of his crew are shitty people

It looks to me the kind of situation drama queens are looking for to take advantage so that they can play the victim card. At least that's how I see it. The usual mob of idiots join the party and the whole thing is blown out of proportions, because according to them everything is a sexual harassment under the sun.

Hmm, I suspect by your tone you're lying re 'equally homo sapiens' and 'white supremacist', but if you do have what you consider to be evidence let me know  (by PM if you can tone down the invective). He's not my buddy. Vox Day seems very hostile to the racist element in the Alt Right from what I've seen so far, but I've only just started looking at his stuff & I thought I might have missed something.

It's one thing if she claimed sexual harassment if Frank had simply said hello or commented on her work. He said a few creepy things that he had no business telling her in the first place. He makes a comment on her looks which was bad enough. Then tries to make a pass at her if he 30 years younger. Instead of being apologetic doubles down and claims to have down nothing wrong. While after being told to not contact Jessica repeatedly which he ignores.

It's not some female SJW going on twitter claiming that was the victim of a microagression because a man asked if he could hold the door open for her. Frank fucked up big time and pretty much ruined his own career and blacklisted himself. I'm not a SJW by any means yet even I was shocked at how clueless, reckless and godawful of a complete idiot Frank was in this situation.

I don't care if your the second coming of Gary Gygax himself in this day and age and given the political climate their is certain ways to act. If your dumb enough or don't give a fuck then don't cry and whine when bad things happen.

Yeah, he said she was beautiful.  What a monster.

And her response was "How sweet of you" which she claims is "code" for bugger off.
I'm going to say perhaps women shouldn't use secret codes that only they understand, but hasn't that been the history of male/female relations. :-)

It was not necessary to comment on her looks. Secondly not everyone is comfortable with that kind of familiarity. I am yet I don't assume everyone around me is. Would you be fine if some stranger came up to you and said your wife/partner/daughter/son was beautiful and said if he/she was younger he would date her. Probably not. It's not the right climate political and and otherwise to be tossing around random compliments imo. Not without knowing the person first. I don't particularily like the situation it is what it is and on adapts.

I do find that pretty annoying. If she were at all honest, given who she is, she would have told him to bugger off, or at least "that's not appropriate". But if she were at all honest she'd not have archived this until Frank's kickstarter + Harver Weinstein.

OTOH Frank was still being a jerk, esp on the sex assault discussion.
OTOOH the punishment never fits the crime these days.
