Here's another question.

So if a company uses some kind of 'sensitivity consultant' (or some such equivalent). Should they be automatically listed as one of the shitty companies?

Yellow at the very least IMHO.

I see... Well, in that case, I'm 'thrilled' to leave this here  : 'CY_Borg' from the same creator of the original Mork Borg (I believe). If I'd seen this previously I wouldn't have actually backed the product.

From their FB page - Oct 5, 2021:

"The game includes things like critical injury and prostheses, cybertech augmentations and their function/malfunction, and for this we're thrilled to consult with the expertise of disability representation advocate and self-described cyborg Angel Giuffria."

LOL, so they're trying to be edgy AND pc at the same time? Interesting move, lets see how it plays out for them.

To expand on my previous comment: IF all a company does is pay the mobsters (hire a sensibility reader) I think it should be placed on the yellow list, cuz ceding ground to these locusts is never enough. Until such time as they take the next step towards integration with the Borg, then straight to the red list.

But that's just my humble opinion man!

It's hilarious as you say, we are just so 'edgy' that we need a disability consultant for our hard-hitting, raw, brutal and in-your-face game.

Oooo.... But we better not offend anyone either.

Not very 'punk' if you ask me.

Kids this days think Punk was left wing and also nothing but an aesthetic. They're wrong on both accounts.

They'll learn the hard way you can't compromise with the cultural terrorists.

They'd need to go in Yellow IMO given the nature of 'sensitivity consultant' and the kind of things they produce.

Indeed, IMO, Yellow sounds right to me too.

I think we can add Arcknight to the Green list too. I've seen him nearly cancelled by the crazies on Twitter while defending his work as non-politically as possible. People were close to calling him a bigot when nothing I saw from his work indicated it. Imagine that.

Yup that's that one.

Add Dyskami.  Their new Silver Age Sentinels 2nd. Edition aka Absolute Power (on Kickstarter now) has some definite woke elements.

In a recent Twitch talk with the devs the guy responsible for all the setting and character writeups went out of his way to bring up that he is non-binary and was really personally proud to make the setting's equivalent of Dr. Strange a non-binary character as well.  There was also a lot of talk that the setting is no longer Silver Age and now that the setting is in the modern world there will be updates in sensibility with social changes

This is the same company behind BESM 4e (Big Eyes Small Mouth) the anime RPG.

Hello, been reading and referencing this list for a couple months now so I thought I'd make an account and chime in.  Haven't been able to read all 160 pages of replies yet (I think I got about half way through them) so I apologize if some of my questions were asked already.

Overall, my own experiences seem to match what everyone else has shared so far and even reminded me about a few things (I had totally forgotten about that stunt Evil Hat Games tried to pull during the 2016 election.  Didn't think much of it at the time because there was so much else going on but looking at some of the things they put out since, I probably should have.)  Part of me wants to mention how R.Talsorian stood up to Rock Paper Shotgun and Kotaku when the latter were trying to manufacture woke drama over Cyberpunk 2077 and ask how that weighs in on the scale but I think I already know that answer.  I do have two other questions though.

-  For companies that publish supplementary material under an OGL for a Red company (such as Paizo or Wizards of the Coast) are they judged by their own behaviors or by the behaviors of their parent company?  Granted, Kobold Press' entry probably should answer my own question but that brings me to my second one...

- Is having Kobold Press in yellow and red categories a typo?  If so, which one is it?
