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.

Quote from: Haffrung;1098164You 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.

Yes, but how does that change what I've said?  Racism and homophobia and sexism can affect people's creativity.

Quote from: pdboddy;1098572Ah right, obviously that has never happened in non-shithole countries.  Racism and homophobia doesn't happen here, right?

As an institutionalized thing that prevents people from getting an education? or a job? No, you might find individual examples but this isn't a system built to keep them down. Now's the point where you disregard linear time and bring up shit from the distant past (over 2 decades old).

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.

Dithering aside.

Have they actually shown any progress or did it putter out or self destruct as some predicted?

They had a schism, now there's RolPunk (or was it PunkRol?), and it looked like some of them was busy doing a PbtA hack.

Especially if you hammer it into them really thoroughly from early youth that they are utterly disadvantaged by all the systemic bigotry and will forever face a terrible uphill battle in life. If you tell a kid her whole life that the world of gaming hates women, do you really think you're increasing her odds of producing creative gaming material?

Something I have told many a intersectional ideologue. It's beyond their keen to grasp the results of their own actions, they are like children (or worst) never able to think what will be the consequences of their actions.

Is that with or without the pound symbol?

Er, sorry, hashtag?

EDIT: I don't know, sounds edgy enough to cut yourself on.  https://anticheleggende.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/rolpunk.pdf

EDIT2: If it's not that, then I don't know... posts about RolPunk no E are from 2011. >.>
