Jason Bulmahn can eat a bag of dicks as far as I'm concerned. He's just another cancerous douche infesting the RPG space. I stopped giving Paizo money years ago when they shat their pants over 'Slavery' and said 'No more slavery in Golarian'. Literally cannot fight against one of the classic D&D bad guys like The Slavelords cause Leftcoast twats think slavery begins and ends with 'Da White Man!' There is a special spot in Hell for Alex Haley.....

Paizo specializes in crunchy D&Dish RPGs.

They also specialize in left coast ideology.

They are big, but they also have a limited appeal.   It will catch up with them, eventually.

HAHAHAHHAHA!

Paizo's offical stance: Please ignore our looney employees talking shit online.

LOL, that Paizo response including pronouns ("Xe") and a land acknowledgement is pure gold.

Jason is a male feminist, seems to be just like all male feminists... Or Jessica Price was up to her usual tactics to out him from Paizo.

He admits that he hit on Price.  That alone shows a significant lack of judgment worthy of ostracism.  I mean, it's better to be lonely than to dip your wick in that kind of crazy.

I do feel some sympathy for him, though.  Imagine being so desperate that Jessica Price seems attractive to you...

It was the cowgirl hat she wore, Buhlman fell for that.

@ Eirikrautha: I mean, I would rather become a monk than hitting that.

@ Jeff37923: ROTFLMAO.

Snarl words aside like "fascist" and "woke" (yes woke is becoming a meaningless snarl word just like nazi or fascist, admit it.) what actually gets me about this is they assume they are somehow entitled to what happens to the books post-sale or who they are sold to.

 that bothers me more than the politics of this stupid twitter rage bait.

Ahh, the good ol' Dwarven attitude that the maker is always the owner regardless of the person buying it.

While I agree they're both overused, there is are key differences between the two.  "Woke" was a term that the side who invented this particular bastardization (of the English language) proudly used to describe themselves and was only turned negative when the ridiculousness of both their positions and especially their actions in real life poisoned the term.   The modern mudslinging associated with fascist is exclusively an insult by people against their political opponents and done so in a largely hypocritical manner by the people who ACTUALlY demonstrate most of the ideals of that ideology (authoritarianism, supremacy of the state over individual and political freedom, punishment of any dissent. etc... basically everything except the nationalism that used to accompany it).

Most people on the right who use this word are unaware nor do they care of the context behind it, to them it just describes everything on the Left they dislike, likewise the mudslinging of facsists it has simply come to mean any political stance I dislike.

Rightoids tactfully thew the term Woke back in the Leftoids face, but the less bright among the rightoids used the term ad nauseam. to the point it's been mostly defanged in the same way fascist has been defanged.
This website could be a microcosm case study of how meaningless the word is.

Also just like Woke was a proud label before being turned on it's head, so was Fascist, Fascist as a word has Roman symbology and connotation (a bundle of sticks) as such many early fascists between the 1920s and 40s would have proudly called themselves such.

Every term will be watered down and misused. The alternative is to stop talking about anything contentious.

it's not a zero sum game. you can and should moderate and gatekeep your own side. nor is the alternative to throw in the towel.  your fox news watching parents should stay in their lane and stop dulling and watering down every tool the Right uses, period.

Good advice, but I claim no side, so I don't know who I'd moderate or gatekeep.

Plus there's also the issue of the sides trying to obscure issues by pretending the labels are the problem, not the topics people bring up.

Quotenor is the alternative to throw in the towel.  your fox news watching parents should stay in their lane and stop dulling and watering down every tool the Right uses, period.

Nobody should "stay in their lane". That's authoritarian social manipulation to silence dissent.
