OK, so I've explicitly cited some examples above from the earlier part of where the thread started to go off-track. But this applies to EVERYONE:  threads about controversial subjects IN THE GAMING HOBBY are allowed on the Main Forum.  But I want there to be some discretion on the part of the posters, to try as much as possible to stick to the SPECIFIC SUBJECT at hand.  You can talk all you like about Green Ronin's policy, and related issues in the gaming hobby, and even mention examples from the wider political world IF you relate them back to this specific issue at hand. But please don't make posts that veer off into a larger non-gaming-related debate.

I'm closing this thread.  If someone really wants to start a new thread about Green Ronin's announcement, they can do so, but the same rules still apply.

For the record, Green Ronin has worn their Left-coast champagne-SJW politics on their sleeve since forever. None of this should come as a shock to anyone. I can't really judge on that question of whether it's legal or not, but I do think it's stupid. Not because hiring women is stupid, but because it's so blatantly obvious to me that as usual, their whole deal is about BEING SEEN to be MAKING A BIG DEAL about their 'brave' political position (which is exactly 0% 'brave' in any way for who they are, where they live, or who their audience is; it's just boring).

They're just self-serving posers.
