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: Anon Adderlan;1086145Hell, the most popular RPG in the world still uses the concept of race and class to define who a character is.

TBF, originally they were called "character-types" before AD&D made the term "race" popular. The term "race" doesn't appear anywhere in OD&D. And class is more of a professional "class"-ification and not a socioeconomic standing.

The moderation style (to be loose with the word) is a joke where any asshole in thr Mod Clique (and is a clique. There is no process, no accountability except to other Mods otherwise its a 'lifetime' appointment can do whatever they please, when ever they please like crooked cops except they'tr unpaid mall cops that double as  unpaid janitors. I guess you HAVE to abuse that minuscule amount of power to get drunk on it, but those plucky bastards have found a way. I get it 'their' playground (or more its been left to them as long as the Ad revenue comes) and this is what tends to happened when the bullied get to be the bullies but I am stunned by how many not go along with it but act as their apologists and defense attorneys. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Its something many people need to learn.

Some need it tattooed on the inside of their eyelids as a constant reminder

Tangency political thread mod post trigger warning. Megathread appears to be code "This thread has gone in directions, opinion or tone I don't like so I'm closing it." Or Miss Atomic Bomb didn't like her breakfast or woke up constipated this morning and need to flex some 'muscle'. *shrug*

 As with most infractions your guess is as good as mine. I've seen Miss Atomic Bomb, thread ban and kick people for expressing opinions she doesn't like, more than once so my assumption of good faith is about used up for the Mod in particular
"I once heard an evolutionary biologist talk about how violent simians are; they are horrifically violent. He then went on to add that he was really hopeful about humanity because "we\'re monkeys who manage *not* to kill each other most of the time.""

LOL. Too accurate. Nicely put.

Restraint and self-reflection are not things these types are known for, unfortunately.

RPG.net had a good design and publisher forum. I had good conversations in the past there, certainly far less political than their other forums as it was [previously] focused on discussing the nuts and bolts of game creation and publishing. Haven't been there for a few years so I can't attest to what that subforum is like today.

While that may be technically true, it's now a pale imitation of what it once was. And in my estimation, it used to be pretty danged good.

And welcome, myleftnut, and the rest. I just got here a little sooner. I don't pipe up too-too often, but TheRPGSite is now my go-to for RPG stuff. There's gold in that there search function, put there by people I trust on the subject, who are all over the political spectrum. That's what I miss the most about the other place.

Correct.

It was once a website that hosted good RPG discussions; but it kept drifting farther and farther into the realm of the blind idiot gods.


Oh, and FUTANKA!!!

That would be funny...

Should I go through the trouble of looking any deeper? Or is it related to futanary(NSFW)?

For any RPGnet trolls lurking on our forum and trying to find problematic content on here to bitch about over at Big Purple, I have a message for you...

Anime is better than Marvel capeshit, Metal is better than Punk, Communism is tyrannical and evil, Anarchism is a crock of shit, personal horror sucks, and Harry Potter is the worst series of books ever written.

Also, here's some disco music for you, you blue-haired contrarian punk rock-loving, Lenin-worshipping, Vice Media-reading hipster motherfuckers.

DISCO INFERNO! DEATH BY STEREO! COMMIE PUNKS FUCK OFF!

Seriously, I am thinking we need to organize an RPG Site meetup and have a Punk Demolition Night for July 12, 2019.

The injustices of Disco Demolition Night will be at long last avenged, forty years to the date!

Punk Demolition Night shall commence and Harry Potter will be burned at the stake for witchcraft and crimes against literature while Black Panther gets his fursuit-wearing ass curb-stomped by Kyoya Ootori from the Ouran High School Host Club and Captain Marvel finds herself being executed by a firing squad of bishonen Roman legionaries armed with the awesomely problematic AR-15 rifle.
