I checked the op date and was surprised to see that this wasn't an old, old thread.  Yes they're following rpg.net's path and have been doing so for a long time.  I left several years ago when Morrus incorporated wokeness into the official forum rules.  It's quite a shame, really.  I was part of the community since (I think) 1998, and once upon a time it was a great place to hang out.

I know quite a lot of SJWs really playing RPG's in Poland.
I played with them (though I think they have not know I'm quite right-wingish) they were generally good roleplayers.

Which should... be not surprising, as this board, and overall all apolitical quasi-libertarian opposition in RPG hobby claims politics races and so on does not matter.
So SJWs can play just as well, at least until you trigger them too much.

They might even be better, with all the practice they have living in a fantasy world.

Yeah, it was. I was back there in the day when 3e was coming out. My account is still active......I think. I just can't be bothered I guess.

Oh man did they. Wulf Ratbane was probably my favorite but Kevin Kulp's was even good when he posted his groups stuff. Of course, Sep's was, for me, the best. Hell, if I remember aright SHARK had some great story hours there.

Do any of these people actually fucking PLAY RPGs?

That's a damned good question. Man, the creativity that came out of enworld back in the day when the OGL and SRD came out.

There were a lot of good story hours, but Sepulchrave's Tales of Wyre and Destan's Sins of Our Fathers were head and shoulders above the rest.

I have noticed that a lot of the more political types on ENworld are 4e fans who actively seem to dislike 5e.

This should tell you a lot.  There's nothing particularly wrong with liking 4e, but if you spend your time hanging around on a forum which is, in all practical ways, devoted to a game you don't actually play or like, then something is inherently wrong.

I thought it was already as bad as big purple; I posted maybe 5 times over there before deleting my account.

There was a review about an africa based setting, I said I probably would not buy or run it no matter how cool it might be because I'd likely get harpooned for "cultural appropriation" for doing so.
Then I was beset by 2-3 very female sounding screen names crapping on me for saying so and trying to properly educate me on the matter (one of these screen names, while i don't recall it exactly, was all very tumbler sounding black power lesbian-ish).

I was like "full stop folks, I went to college and I heard all this commie crap before, it was commie crap then and its commie crap now, I made my save and now I'm immune you are wasting your breath". Then it got ugly, I was attacked for being a redneck rural flyover retard nazi incel, "i bet you have bumper stickers that say liberalism is a mental disorder, etc" all of which I took in stride except to note that while I lack such a bumper sticker (i'm a bodyman i hate bumper stickers they cause extra work) I agree with the sentiment, especially after this.

They continued to attack, I continued to dismiss them as ignorant commies whose poison I refuse to acknowledge as being worthy of anything but ridicule, and eventually Morrus locks the thread, but not before giving me a warning saying "These "commies" just want you to be nice".

Rather than correct him that no, thats not just what they want and that they will eat him too unless he completely surrendurs, I just deleted the account and googled for another forum, landed here.

Thats right, Morrus has inflicted me upon you. You should demand reparations really.

eta

checking your linked thread that OP Sacrosanct was one of those attacking me lol.

Well at least the OP is getting some kind of pushback in the thread against his overall bullshit but yeah the SJW rot is all over the place. It's actually much worse into areas outside of rpgs. I was called a bad person when I dared to post pro- Gina Carano stuff on my FAcebook feed and it was again go go SJW rangers essentially finger wagging and all but saying I'm a bad person for not defending her getting fired. Yet their favored SJW darling Pedro Pascal when I posted both of what they said gets them all angry as when it comes from someone spouting their "approved" politics and social positions it is ok. Both used Holocaust description as analogies yet Pedro gets a free pass for being leftist and non-Trump supporter.

I left there several months ago. Also there from the beginning. It's been pretty bad for the past 2 or 3 years. I couldn't take Russ' (morrus) bullshit and condescending attitude anymore. He used to be pretty low key but has gone off the deep end with woke ignorance.

A whole host of genuine wtf? moments in reading that pile of shit through.
.......Fabric armour when worn by any non white European person must have the same factors as full plate armour as otherwise you reinforce the paradigm of native/indigenous inferiority.
.... Meso-American stone bladed weapons must be as effective as European hardened steel ones for the same reason.
...Yet another rehash of the pathetic Orcs are synonymous with Negroes fallacy.
.....It is wrong for clerics/priest characters to only follow 1 god.

Seems to be some spineless game designer who wants to make an OSR game that SJW's won't criticise.

Yep, agree. Morrus has gotten bad.

Yeah thats Sac over there most likely. He used to post here and was near the exact opposite. Then at some point apparently drank the kool-aid, became a Sarkesian cultist and now everythings sexist everything racist everythings ad nausium. All I recall is him getting ever more stringent here.

These are the sorts who are so offended by everything that the only thing acceptable is a featureless cube. And eventually they will be offended by that.
