This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Mr. AnalyticalHurrah... if people wanted to support making "Baugh" a synonym for stupidity and lameness I think that's something we could all get behind.  He's far more deserving of such associations than gay people.
Dude, he fucked up Gamma World.  Bitch gets no respect from me.

I know someone will take this as joining in the dogpile on Mr. Baugh, but that's the best thread title change I've ever seen.

It's mean and crude and awful.

And I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

Quote from: Mr. AnalyticalBecause adults confront other adults when they're being bigotted twats.  That way people work out that actually, talking in those kinds of terms isn't acceptable.

Word.

It's also precisely the sort of thing that would never happen at another site.

Same here.  My first reaction was, "He changed the fucking title?  Wh-BRUCE BAUGHINGLY?!"

I'm a bad, bad man for finding that amusing I'm sure.

You people are horrible. You're letting the actions of one Bruce Baugh lump them all together under one derogatory banner.

Yes; I'm obviously a strong believer in not legislating morality of any kind. I think legislating speech, be it on a website or in a university or by a country's laws, is ultimately counterproductive.

I think it is at the personal level that things like this have to be resolved, always. And it is at that level that they CAN be resolved, by virtue of people making choices about respecting other people as individuals.

  I don't mind people being Bruce Baugh in the privacy of their own homes but I don't like it when they rub it in my face.  Some people seem to look upon being Bruce Baugh as their sole defining characteristic.

...then my work is done.

I like the fact that Bruce Baugh has now literally become a by-word for lameness :D

Crappy ad print from an RPG company? Perish the thought! This stuff is par for the course IMO, and it's why in RPG ad print the Sturgeon Threshold of crap is raised from 90 to 98 percent.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

Quote from: SettembriniThe funny thing is, I didn´t even know that Germans were supposed to have a leather fetish. They tell us, that it is "english" to like this...

Kyle: "I'll just try the first one. 'You must be 18 to enter this website.' Okay. 'Welcome to German Sick Fetish Video. If you are under 18, do not—' Well, okay."
German: "Du hast Scheiße gern."
Kyle: "Dude! It's a lady getting pooed on!"
Stan: "Whoa! Is it Cartman's mom?"
Cartman: "Oh. Very funny."
Kyle: "Hey! It is Cartman's mom!"
German: "Essen mein Scheiße."
Cartman's Mom: "All righty then."
Cartman: "Aw, son of a bitch!"
Stan: "Dude, what the fuck is wrong with german people??"

Cartman: Mom? If you were in a German "Scheiße" video, you... you'd tell me, right?
[short pause]
Mrs. Cartman: Sure, hon.
