Quote from: tuypo1;829151its a minor victory for them but how much they got shot down in the surrender speech was awesome

but in the end it will result in something good so i will take what i can get. Besides nothings getting delayed the games already out.

Would someone be kind enough to post links to the original drammaz, as well as the Surrender Speech.

I love reading the SJW's wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I'm looking forward to reading more about this latest Moral Minority Outrage, but I can just imagine the cries of "Cultural Appropriation".

Sure it's cool to have a Native American Author doing writing about Native America mythology, but in the end so what if he is Native or not. If he writes good stuff that's all that matters. It's insulting to Anthony to imply he got hired on his "Nativeness" rather than the Strength of his ideas and writing.

What if he wrote a blog about King Arthur mythology. Would these same SJW's scream Cultural Appropriation then? No of course not. Because what they are really offended by is Straight White Males writing about nothing other than the life of Straight White Males.

In their world only Egyptians can be Egyptologists. Only Women can be Gynaecologists, etc. Do these same people get upset when they walk into a Sushi Bar and see a Latino Chef making the Sushi.

F*%king A-holes every last one if them.

Quote from: Zak S;828548You may have heard about the recent controversy over the depiction of native american culture in Monte Cook Games' The Strange RPG.

Well, something genuinely great came out of it:

Anthony Pastores, who does the wonderful Pacific Northwest-themed Straits of Anian blog got hired on to write new Native content.

One last thing

I wanted to say thanks to Zak S for posting about Athony's Blog. I grew up in Vancouver and always loved the PNW mythology of the local Indian bands. Stories of Wild Meb of the woods, Giant Orca's, Angry Ghosts and Haida warriors in Wooden Armour.

I've read a bunch of his blog already and it's great stuff. If you're reading this Anthony thank you for all the idea inspiring stuff on your blog.

Some people are offended that there is just too much writing being done by Straight White Males.

Disgusted by the majority of the behavior displayed in this thread and also predictable as ever.

Everything is superficial for liberals like 90% of everyone here till the point they're beyond reasoning with and like talking towards a brick wall from my own personal experience.

Or maybe gaming sites like this one are hotbeds for GamerGate which is pretty clear.

Lazy, uninspired, cookie cutter attempt. Troll has done no research, completely unfamiliar with site demographics or high-profile individuals. Copy-and-paste text with no site-specific customisation whatsoever. Outdated external references. Poor grammar and textual cohesion.

Troll score: 1/10.
Obvious troll is obvious. RIP, Bill.

That's right, I guess anyone who disagrees with you is automatically labeled a "Troll" as if you have nothing left to back up your bullshit other than "do your research" which is the same catchpraise that conspiracy theorists use which is so identical which isn't funny. Ironically enough, it's people like yourself are uneducated on where that your blindly hated target called "SJW" are coming from and if you want to talk 'research' then it is rather you need to step outside of your gaming and 4Chan/Reddit circles and start educating yourself on the issue but it is unlikely you ever will because you're most likely a privileged white male or suffering from internalization that you're trained not to see oppression around you because it's invisible to you which I know any reply saying otherwise is just exactly what I'm pointing out.

Also I've pretty seen the site demographic already which is what I was calling out including you.

Or otherwise Fuck You.

In news of things that matter, Straits of Anian is top-shelf stuff. I'm pleased to see someone with obvious talent for the work get a chance to get paid for it.

And you think I'm somehow getting payed for this? Get's to show how little you know and how quickly you jump into conclusions and incredibly paranoid too just like conspiracy theorists who use the "Shill" argument which is also identical as if you're trying to cast me into some large conspiracy that is improbable to exist but only in your head simply because your privilege and your (Especially imperialist as regarding the subject matter) entitlement is threatened.

Definitely another one for the ignore list.

to be fair he is kind of right but he is overreacting a little
