Is This "Brigade" Instruction Real, Zak?

Well, "believing in people standing up to transphobia even if it costs others" is bullshit. It's not a sacrifice. Believing in people standing up to transphobia even when it costs THEM is something. This cost Zak nothing. There was no sacrifice on his part. This is not an applauding moment here.

you sound like a right-winger. Yes. in order for people to do the right thing -- not be transphobic--- sometimes it costs them. Transphobia is never ok.

Great googily moogily!

Lol, "transphobia"....problem being the word phobia is used incorrectly, transsexuals are not scary, they are uncanny valley at best and trigger disgust on various levels at worse...but save vs fear or run away, nah, sorry...

same with "homophobia"....i have actual real homophobia, fear of the same, i find the male physical form disgusting and dangerous and demand a field of personal space around all males unless they voluntary relinquish this buffer zone to hug you or something...you don't even have to be gay to give me the ick if you are one who cannot respect personal space...i know you don't wash your hands you snot wiping msturbating zoo animal.

I do not have the patience for little struggle session goblins who seek to bastardize or weaponize language.

I am perfectly allowed to hate or despise or ostracize or avoid anyone i wish on any or even NO grounds whatsoever, i do not need a committees fucking permission and if that committee thinks i do it can be proven wrong and then violently turned into maggot food for thinking its a little king and i am a peasant.

who are you little freakjobs that think you can control other people and their speech and thoughts? you aint shit, i will kill and eat your dumb ass and the only thing you can do about it hope the state punishes me...it too lacks the ability to force me to think or speak a certain way, just like you despite it being substantial whereas you are just a meat beast with a tude.

i will now intentionally be mean to any trans or homos i encounter for at least two week; until i can go 2 weeks and not hear this trash uttered or referenced i might maybe then begin to walk it back.

what the damn hell. roll for anal circumference i guess.

Quote from: katiefol on December 26, 2024, 10:14:59 PMWhere is the proof and evidence to back up your accusations? You have none. Again, the spreading of misinformation and lies.

He admitted to it.  Then he tried to justify it by saying the guy whose money he stole did a bad thing and platformed a bad person. 

Quote from: katiefol on December 26, 2024, 10:57:32 PMYeah, I saw Zak's post. I was talking about his quote above that said Alex said "oh well." To me, that sounds like an acceptance and agreement---not a swindling. I think it is a mischaracterization to call it swindling.

To me, it sounds like he decided that trying to get the money back was more trouble than it was worth to him.  Given my limited interactions with Zack S, I don't blame him.    Of course, he shouldn't have to do that in the first place.  It's not a mischaracterization at all.

Also, I don't buy the "platform a transphobe" excuse for a second given how loosely that term is thrown around these days.

Exactly. In their world, Anyone who won't deny science = transphobe

Quote
QuoteLook. I respect anyone who calls someone out for transphobia and makes them pay for it. Alex Macris platformed a transphobic guy on his site -- and the fact that Zak stood up against that and said he wanted to quit and leave over that -- Is pretty significant. The fact that Alex didn't fight about it OR ASK FOR HIS MONEY BACK, tells me that Alex knows he did something wrong.

So, here, you admit that swindling someone is justified, if it's done in the name of woke fascism.  There is no convincing you.  The argument ends here, because you lost the argument, and are just mimicking Zak's defense.

Trans people are the most privileged people on the planet.

Because of "Transgenderism"
Men can compete against girls, win awards in women's events.
Men can take scholaships away from women
Men can commit sex crimes, be admited into women's prisons, and rape and murder them (a murder just happened this week by a trans-privileged man admitted into a women's prison for murdering two women)
Men can beat on girls and be applauded for it
Men can invade women's rest rooms.
People get banned from social media for stating the scientific fact that there are two genders.
People have lost their jobs and been publicly humiliated for addressing a trans person by his or her biological pronouns
"Doctors" have been given license to mutilate healthy children
School children are mentally abused and told to hide it from their parents

But I guess all that harassment, assault, murder and other consequences are okay because transphobia

You went from:
Zak didn't cheat anyone
to
Zak didn't swindle anyone
to
Zak swindled people but it shouldn't be called swindling
to
Zak swindled the money, but he did it because "transphobia"
to
I support swindling people I hate because "transphobia" and say it's moral to make people I hate suffer financially

You lost the argument.  You exposed who you really are.  You rolled a critical fail on integrity.  Your argument is done.

Standing up to "Transphobia"? WTF?

The Tranny agenda is evil, degenerate, and disgusting. Trannies and the Trans Agenda need to be savagely opposed everywhere and at every opportunity. All of this Trans BS has increasingly made our society into a mentally ill cesspool.

The fact that you have people here excusing Zak's unethical behavior and swindling of Alex Macris for work that Zak was paid to do--and did not keep to his word. Absolutely disgusting and immoral. Zero fucking integrity. Mind boggling how smarmy and slimy these people are that defend Zak's poor behavior demonstrate themselves to be. Their morals are like fucking jello.

And all of this "Zak is a champion of truth, integrity, and goodness!" Geesus. Get off Zak's dick, people. I find it incredible that these people are so mentally simplistic and mind-fucked to constantly view Zak as being some kind of moral champion. Please. He is a degenerate, and disgusting on many levels. And what's all this yammering about "Community building"? Our RPG community is doing just fine, thank you. We don't need a "Community" that rides Zak's dick to be considered a positive RPG community. Just because a community refuses to ride Zak's dick and bask in his "genius" aura does not mean that such a community is not positive, or needs anything. These Zak fans are really drinking down that fucking Koolaid hard.

Just look at the sheer insanity of the Hogwart's Legacy boycott where buying a video game was equated with the murder of trans people.  The amount of sheer lunacy and lying was mind boggling.  They tried to destroy people's lives for the dire crime of streaming themselves playing the game and patted themselves on the back about it because they were "fighting transphobia".  These are the people who claim there is a trans genocide going on right now because some states require a vetting process before irreversible medical transition or ban medical transition in minors when there is clear proof of harm and no real proof of any benefit.  This is the sort of thing that gets you called a transphobe.

Quote from: GeekyBugle on December 26, 2024, 05:26:17 PMNow, Zak took the money, then came up with BS "reasons" (IMHO) to not deliver the work and didn't even had the morals and ethic to give the money back. Sorry not sorry that's swindling.
It's beyond that.  It's Zak took the money, then didn't deliver the work, and cited his prejudice as the reason to keep the money because screwing others in the name of fascism = morals.  To me, that's beyond plain ordinary swindling.

Potato / Potatoe

We need to remember that Zak (and his dick ridding defenders) are Leftards, and to leftards there are no wrong tactics only wrong targets. Meaning the worst can be justified if done to the "right people".

Leftards have no morals, principles or ethics, they don't even believe in those, they only believe in power. Like the good ole fascists that they are.

Take this as a warning against working with or backing any TTRPG project with/from Leftards.

Well, this has turned out to be a slightly different kind of tar baby than the one I suspected, but Starfish Hitler is at it again!

Do yourselves a favor, roast these wastes of sperm and egg, then place them on ignore. This is all being done for clicks to try and keep Starfish Hitler in the search engine limelight. Save your blood pressure and let this smarmy narcissist be forgotten.

Well, the simple scientific fact is that THERE ARE NO TRANS PEOPLE. Therefore the only phobia possible is one of imaginary creatures. People who claim to identify as something they are clearly not are mentally ill and in need of help. Indulging them in their fantasies does not help in the slightest.
