Either you have a weird understanding of the word "normie", or the situation in the US is far worse than I supposed. I think it's more the former - Normies, almost by definition, are not interested in Queering anything. Queering something is the realm of the LGBTQIA+ Woke, who are trying to Wokify (ie corrupt) the Normies. A Normie who becomes Woke is no longer a Normie.

QuoteThey aren't normies, they are their own kind of anti social weird.  Those that go from community to community to poison it with their gatekeeping and ideology are a small group of toxic leftist that want you to think they are normies.

Their hobby is to poison everything with their "righteous crusade."  They don't give a shit about tabletop, or video games, or movies, or knitting, or toy collecting, or...  They shit up the internet by running off the actual hobbyist in every hobby and turn their sites into echo chambers with a couple of dozen users and a bunch of bots.

Most normies don't want to deal with the social issues; they just want to enjoy something. 

This!

As a side note, I would add pretty much anything that involves James Lowder on the red list

guy is a talentless hack who has never been peer-reviewed or edited in his life, and simply churns out cheesy tie-in material based on themes and concepts crated by other people. He then goes on social media and spouts out his leftist slogans all day long

his latest diatribe on FB was telling me and others that gaming materials have always been political, so we can't complain about politics or ideology being in a RPG

I am under no obligation to accept this guy's politics. Seriously, fu** this dude, he is a joke, like many other writers in the RPG industry

heaven forbid guys like him or Salvatore had to write something of substance that would appeal to an adult with sophisticated taste in literature

/end rant

Ah yes, the old "X has always been political chud, and just so happens to always have been left-wing too" bullshit from these tardballs.

I found this web site because of this list.  Thanks for all the hard work yous all put into it.

This is such a bad take it's a joke.
Just because some failed guys tried to shove leftism around (and mostly failed) doesn't make it a proud tradition.  Similarly, some top down insertion of poison isn't made ok because there's always been yahoos trying to do that.

Sometimes they mean it another way- that just normal people having normal sensibilities (such as women being physically weaker than men) "is political".  It's not, and it never was.

Gary Gygax didn't put his politics into his games.  These people do.  A radical screeching that everything is political because he wants to change everything doesn't make it so, and it never has.
