The Hasbro Corpo-Wokist complex continues, and there's already the beginning of claiming that playing #dnd outside the 'supervision' of the VTT with Woke mods is full of 'problematic' elements.

You know who like to have fun away from the view of Commissars?

Kulaks.

You're not a Kulak, are you Comrade?
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

I'm gonna have to dig into my old posts to show where I said that this was exactly the goal of all the "orcs are racist" talk. To create the narrative that the only reason that someone would want to play an older edition of the game is because they want to keep the ability to be racist and colonialist and all the new ists that will be invented over the next 10 years.

Everything is a hate crime to these people.

Where do they say this?  I would be curious to see where they actually say something to this effect.

Can anyone cite what the Pundit is saying?

Yep. Its a marketing ploy to undermine the competition.
The OSR is full of horrible wacists who like things like half-orcs and and the word race!

They stole a page from the console wars when Sega and Nintendo were at eachothers throats in court battles with Nintendo trying to show how other companies games were too violent.

That's the trick. Much like wheelchair accessible dungeons, it's not something WotC specifically said. So we can all go on about our business content that the right-wing anti-woke raycists are exaggerating. However, just like we can observe the WotC-adjacent companies putting out their adventurers with disabilities product lines, we can expect the idea that playing D&D outside VTT is the mark of a hateful bigot to spread with WotC's approval. It's the new deltacron variant of the Seattle Virus.

Not outside of a VTT, outside of THEIR VTT. Important distinction.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Greetings!

You know, all the whining, soy-filled simps that shrieked about "WOTC didn't specifically scream in support of combat wheelchairs!" and all the stupid Gotcha-seeking. That is all entirely disingenuous BS. The FACT IS, fucking disability BS and combat fucking wheelchairs and all that nonsense have been pushed by various game designers, "influencers" and creators throughout the fucking hobby. There are even MINIATURES COMPANIES that offer combat wheelchair figures for games.

So, all the Libtard simps out there can just fucking check it. WOTC has supported this BS, and even more so, lots of Libtard gamers and creators of various kinds have supported and pushed for the combat wheelchairs, the ramps, and disability lunacy for quite awhile now.

Stop lying. Stop tap dancing, and trying to deceive people, and just be honest. Openly admit that YOU like promoting moral degeneracy mental illness and insanity, and that you enjoy promoting ideas that cause strife, division, and social dysfunction within the hobby.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Right...and Pundit's also right about those pushing this wanting jobs as commissars.
