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.

Is the hobby really THAT fragile

Quote from: walkerp;257583Carcosa (from my understanding) has it as a part of the worst possible rituals a sorceror, who is not featured as a PC type anyways, can perform.

That is actually incorrect.  The Sorceror class is explicitly a PC option.  Just wanted to clear that up.

  • Walkerp falls back to homophobic insults when he runs out of rhetorical gas.

I'm not attacking homosexuals, but rather toadying little sycophants who come yapping at their masters command.

Agreed.  I didn't word that properly.  My understanding is that you can play a sorceror, but the evil ones in power are not a primary choice for PCs in the way the supplement is structured.

Quote from: jgants;257570So when I get on here and see several of the main posters start saying "what's the big deal about games that promote pedophilia?", I really do think Pundit has a point.  Because if that's where people want to take RPGs, or even just this message board, I'd just as soon find something else to do with my time.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

I don't think, that Maid is promoting more pedophilia than your common maid anime.

Quote from: Fritzs;257611I don't think I have to admit I am decanent shitsack... I feel no need to play Maid or the like in sexual way... I just defend the right of perverts to play it as they wish.

So, you are not a decadent shitsack, but you defend the right of creepy gamers to be decadent shitsacks. I don't see much difference between the vacancy of social norms here.

Quote from: JongWK;257680Let me see...

  • Walkerp wants to exterminate the human race.
  • Walkerp doesn't mind pedophilia in games he likes.
  • Walkerp falls back to homophobic insults when he runs out of rhetorical gas.

I hope you're just trying to achieve some kind of Golden Trifecta of Trolling. Is this some kind of competition that you, Dominus Nox and Mythusmage have?

You forgot:
  • Walkerp supports internet piracy of games.
  • Walkerp thinks Poison'd is in the same acceptable category as  D&D.
  • Walkerp has said that the only reason he posts here is for REVENGE!.
"Meh."

Then you are either being willfully ignorant of the example of play in the book mentioned upthread or do not understand the consequences of a rule mechanic that allows you to seduce an underage girl.

That is unimportant in comparison to making certain you are skewered firmly for saying something people disagree with. Your "errors" are insignificant considerations compared to rhetorical victories which are utterly ancillary to the issue at hand. I mean, duh.

Yes, at times I wonder if we shouldn't do some cleaning out of the Lawncrappers here, for that matter.

OK, once again.

You must not do bad stuff IRL. That's social norms

You can imagine yourself doing bad stuff, becuase no one has right to dictate what you should be allowed to think about.

You can share your imagination of bad stuff with willing people and on one should be allowed to dictate you what do you talk about with your friends.

You can write a book about bad stuff, someone should be able to put R on it's cover and you should inform everyone that it has "stuff you might not like" inside, but you should be allowed to publish it, because of "freedom of speech".
You ARE the enemy. You are not from "our ranks". You never were. You and the filth that are like you have never had any sincere interest in doing right by this hobby. You\'re here to aggrandize your own undeserved egos, and you don\'t give a fuck if you destroy gaming to do it.
