You're probably fine here. Just try to keep it gaming-related. We pretty much all understand the ridiculousness of the outrage against SJG, it's embarrassing and misdirected and hollow. Welcome to the forum. Hope you get into some TFT soon if that's your bag.

Greetings!

Welcome to the free speech zone, my friend! Yeah, it's *crystal clear* to me that the Liberal SJW's have been doing their damndest to drag this country into the cesspool. Any stupidity on the part of right-wing elements are, at the end of the day, far less frequent, more isolated, and thoroughly on the fringe. The Liberal SJW's have the entertainment industry, the media, academia, and half of the politicians all drinking their socialist/globalist Koolaid, plus hordes of bizarre, degenerate freaks chanting in the streets. The most severe problem in this country is from the *Left*. Anyone who can't see that clear truth is at best deluded and naive.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

SHARK, we haven't interacted much but I wanted to finally say, thank you for your service. And don't ever drink the kool-aid.

This site has it issues but in fairness the main forums have less enforced attidue/hugbox/Happiness is Mandatory style tone policing. I mean, I'm no Trump fan (at all) but apparently you can't just not support him, but you can bitch about him too much: https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/trump-spreads-horrific-abortion-narrative-at-wisconsin-rally.845191/#post-22558550

This is the 7th Trump thread on the first page of Tangency. We do not need a new thread for every vile thing Trump says or does. We don't even need a goddamn megathread. Tangency is depressing enough as-is without the constant "see what new horrendous thing Trump is doing" that keeps happening.

Please, please, please post more happy, positive, cool, neat things here in Tangency. Please.

I mean, there is no freedom of speech right in private settings. Venues can restrict largely what they want (IANAL, so there may be some legalities I am not aware of) but the reaction topics generate and to people bringing them up says much about the ostensible culture of the place in question.

I mean, Hell, if you feel there is not much discussion of a certain topic POST some fucking guidelines don't jump on individuals because the'yre not psychically aware you're getting fed, butthurt or fee-fee bruised. :rolleyes:

Quote from: sureshot;1084955What is more disgusting is that some on the site to be part of the so called cool kids club just blindly accept such totalitarian banning on the website. All it took was to throw away any and all self-respect they had. Apparently though we are just as bad if not even more worse than rpg.net. Go figure.

I agree with you sureshot.

It may just be because I am argumentative but if you have a different opinion then just bring it at me bro.  If I am wrong then I want to know because who wants to go through life being wrong.

We may had disagreements yet that is to be expected on a non-echo chamber style forum. It's when posters who have been posting here for a long time say nothing about the content of the site. Or worse when it is factual and proven that their are worse gaming websites to post here that we are just as bad as them. It is either trolling, or being disingenuous. Don't like it here everyone is entitled to their opinion. Don't then post on the same site and not to be called out as a hypocrite for doing so.

If you're not agreeing with and cursing out the same posters based on different topics, you're probably in an echo chamber

The difference here is while you and I have major disagreements on some topics. I'm also not calling you out and making you out to be say one of the resident nutjobs over at rpg.net. At this point equating this forum and the people in it as the same as them is being denser than Wolverine Admantium claws. Their is a clear difference between both places and one has to be purposefully deaf, dumb and blind in the extreme not to notice at this point. It is like insisting no matter what that a controlled camp fire is the same as an out of control forest fire.

Fuck you stupid idiot.

Quote from: Lurtch;1084933A public shaming in Maoist China. Why remove the picture and not the post...

A picture is worth a thousand words?

Quote from: Ratman_tf;1084986A picture is worth a thousand words?

Ya.  It articulated the poster's point too well so it had to be removed.  Seeing it might have influenced the sheep.

Quote from: myleftnut;1084987Ya.  It articulated the poster's point too well so it had to be removed.  Seeing it might have influenced the sheep.

It kind of did actually because metaphorically the picture pretty much summed up the state of the site. The sheep would have done nothing. For fear of being ostracized from the hobby they threw all every shred of self-respect they had to be part of that community. Most posters know and they don't care or the rpg equivalent of being afraid of their jobs. Either way whatever the reason not impressed.

And I bet if you ever were in Phoenix or I was where you are we could throw dice and have a great time playing and not ever care about internet nonsense

At least you are not one of those Star Wars apologists!  Fuck those guys

Hi there! Welcome.

Overall, it's pretty good here.

I used to hang out at rpg.net years ago, but it got so uncomfortable, I moved on.
I didn't get banned or whatever, but I could see it coming sooner or later if I had stayed, so I just left.

Ironically, I think I found this forum via a thread on rpg.net that was slagging off this site.  lol!
