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.

The resurgence of tabletop RPGs, thanks to the queer community?

Quote from: VisionStorm on June 02, 2022, 07:28:16 AMExactly. This shit just gets asserted into existence, just like every other claim coming from these critters.
Yup.

Step 1: "As a lifelong fan of X who is a Y, I and my Y friends have been major contributors to X."
Step 1 Alt: "As a person of Y that hates X and everything it stands for."
Step 2: "I have felt major hostilities from the existing white/male/traditional/not Y fans, in vague unprovable ways."
Step 3: "So I demand X be changed to my specifications".

I am glad that more and more people are finding their way to the hobby.  However I am not distressed by their blatant gate-keeping. 

When I started playing RPG's in the '80's I used to catch physical beatings for playing role-playing games.  I do not fucking care what these people think of me.
