SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Celebrating physical diversity implies that you think physical traits cause certain mental perspectives. In current progressive ideology, it's not that all people are equal, it's that differences are better but those same people should be given special advantages.

OSR developers also have a great diversity of thought. That's what bothers internet slacktivists.

Quote from: Omega;1097739It does not.
The colour of a persons skin, or their gender, or whatever, is absolutely irrelevant to a persons ability to write a good game or do a good piece of art, or run a company, or whatever.

In a perfect world, this would be true, the ability to do those things is irrelevant to skin colour and gender and so on.

In a world where one's gender or skin colour can affect the education one receives and the chances to advance to areas of higher learning, thus affecting things like the ability to write a good game, paint or run a company, skin colour and gender can be very relevant.  If only to point out the effects of racism and misogyny on the ability to create.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

AFAIK Mike Pondsmith has been black most...likely all...of his life. He's created one of the most endearing and enduring RPGs ever. Nobody really knew it then or likely cared because it's a great game. It's only an issue now because of all this stupid SJW nonsense and its obsession with infantilizing blacks and women so they can be used.

It's not an issue to people who aren't SJW.  Pondsmith's a cool dude, and he's created several endearing and enduring RPGs.  He'll still be doing cool stuff long after the SJW fad blows away in the dust.

Quote from: Slambo;1097727Imo diversity of ideas is important.

...and that includes ideas you don't like hearing about. That's REAL freedom.
1. I'm a married homeowner with a career and kids. I won life. You can't insult me.

2. I've been deployed to Iraq, so your tough guy act is boring.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1097625They're incapable of actually creating, at least anything that isn't abject drivel. The goal from the beginning was just to try to destroy the OSR, and it failed.

Sort of like Morgoth  and Sauron except not as interesting.

So women, gays and trans in islamic countries, and generally people living in shithole countries?

Hey!

Let's AS be magical transgender people who do stuff!

I'm so tired of purple-haired gamers calling me "inappropriate".

Fuck Trans gaming -- because it interferes with REAL gaming.

Your politics do not belong in my game.

Amen!

Tranny Punks Fuck Off! Punch A Commie For Mommy!

Honestly, I feel bad for the people who are actually trans, having to struggle with Gender Dysphoria Disorder while being lumped in with insane far-left transtrenders whether you want to be grouped with them or not.

You realize women make up over 60 per cent of people who graduate from college today, don't you? And that the fields related to writing - the Humanites and social sciences - are skewed even more female? 80 per cent of the people who work in publishing are women.

They also dominate several art circles. And have a strong presence in Fantasy art and even RPG art. And even some notable Minis sculptors for Grenadier, Ral Partha and Games Workshop.

Ah right, obviously that has never happened in non-shithole countries.  Racism and homophobia doesn't happen here, right?
