We should have all seen this coming from the Woke #DnD crowd... Bandit Lives Matter.
#ttrpg #osr

Theft is universally regarded as evil.  Even people who are okay with stealing from others, do not want to be stolen from, so even if they can ot see that what they do is wrong, when it is done to them, it still seems wrong to them.

The only thing I want to get from this is a betting pool on what WotC will rename bandits.

1st) Banditos  (too Mexican - note they would say this to the Belize guy in the meeting)

2nd) Communists (redundant term)

3rd) Aladins (too Islamaphobic)

4th) Whites (most likely)

"Social Justice Protesters"

WotC Coast will call them Reallocators.

Joking aside, I bet they will call them "Liberators", with a pussy description about how some liberators are just bandits like robin hood or dread pirates like blackbeard.  What can be guaranteed though, they are never chaotic evil and don't assume their pronouns.

Regulators!!!!! Mount up.

Lets see:

Products to play as a barista running Ye Olde Starbucks? Check

DO NOT dare "discriminate" against Orcs, Goblins, Tieflings, etc? Check

Bandits are just Robin Hood? Check

They WANT to play in current year Seattle.

You must be kind to bandits. You have no idea what they have been through. If they whack you on the head with a stick, you must reply "thank you, may I have another." This is truly great stuff- for the OSR.

As Hasbro watches the once valuable D&D brand sink beneath the waves, they will wail and cry out " Why?, why? We did everything our masters commanded of us. We were promised riches beyond our wildest dreams."

If there is one good think about the Wokesters of the Coast, they will do whatever Twitter tells them to do if it comes from a leftist.  Basement dwelling black block members who had their dicks split in half got WotC to change Drow lore, label all their work racist, hire censorship comissars which are now making WotC make up cringe words that their player base hates and hire incompetent boobs to write trash based on their magic blood and the super special magical genital hole preference ability.

I normally put in a woke asshole or two in as a minor bumbling and annoying villain.  Well this time for the new group at the hobby shop, he's going to be hanging with a "typal" of goblins, and when a player asks him did he mean tribe he's going to go on a tyrade.

Heh, I don't. Bad enough dealing with them in the real world. No way am I letting them in my escapist fantasy time.

Equity allies?

Robin Hood robbed the government (the only rich of the day) and gave it back to the overtaxed (everyone under the thumb of the government).

Current year Seattle thugs rob the overtaxed (small business owners) while being coddled by the corrupt government.

The best way to understand modern D&D at current year Seattle leaks into it is to flip its alignment chart. What they call good is in fact evil and what they call evil is most likely good.

The best way to understand modern D&D is the writers are part of the "Burn it all down and from the ashes we'll build anew", IOW's they have a lot of race marxists on their payroll.  The radiant citadel essentially advocates for multiracial communist style state, which was pretty weird to see in a module.  When you read between the lines, its like OK WotC, good luck with that.  WotC is ideologically captured by the hard left and its showing up in their work. 

Woke doesn't sell, it causes people to leave the franchise and they don't come back.  Disney is in a death spiral due to woke content, and when they put out good content people won't consume it.  I know I haven't touched anything from Disney and frankly never will at this point, I just don't want to watch another 100 lb 5'1" woman beating a 225 lb 6'4" guy - my ability to suspend disbelief is done.  WotC listens to to Twitter and the internal race marxists uses it as evidence to go further to the left.  Typal is going to raise a flag with normies.  If they change bandits to some other made up term, its going to raise another flag.  Most normies have no clue who Gygax is and they don't buy older content, but if they did then those statements calling all creators racist from 4E and earlier would have been their "cuties" moment.  I think WotC has a ways to go, but they will keep going farther to the left till it loses the normies. 

LOL, at this point I firmly believe the fascists are just throwing shite at the wall and seeing what will stick....what people willingly put up with.

I'm one of those that has popcorn and a pepsi watching our civilization decline day by day.
