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.

Quote from: Mistwell on January 28, 2025, 03:18:51 PMWinninger at least has zero reason to be lying about this particular topic right now. If anything, having been fired from WOTC and now competing with them, you'd think he'd have incentive to make them look bad, right?

The purple haired cancel mob (i.e. your former co-workers and probably current comrades/frenemies) potentially banging on your door (whether physical or virtually) because you went against the narrative the company has pushed for years is potentially one powerful reason.   You might think just staying quiet would be a solution but as a SWM with no boxes ticked you have to be diligent in your signaling frequency especially now in the era of Orange Man Bad 2: TDS Boogaloo.

There is no WOTC propaganda that Mistwell will not espouse as gospel truth.

Quote from: Mistwell on January 28, 2025, 03:59:38 PMWhat assertion do you think I made?

That it is happening.  You made that assertion regardless of what weasel wording you used.

Quote from: Mistwell on January 28, 2025, 03:18:51 PMI never said or implied you should trust my personal experience.

So, what did you say without the evasions and weasel wording?

Quote from: blackstone on January 28, 2025, 01:35:25 PMTerrible analogy because the public DEMANDED Coca Cola switch back to the original recipe, and they did.
Off topic, but I personally believe the switch to New Coke and back was to hide the transition from cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup. The people never questioned it, possibly the greatest bait & switch in corporate history.   
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing. ~Robert E. Howard
