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.

It's just that now these dysfunctional people have various echo chambers on the internet to amplify their mewlings.

I think that there is too much fixation, in a general sense, on the "now". One day all these deranged Twitterheads/TikTokers will have to pay taxes. What I mean is, literally, filling the form. Which means that you made at least something. Which means that you had to work. Which means that the real world will arrive like the freight train from hell fast - and having four genders will not help you.
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

Except if they manage to put more special rules granting them privileges in the real world before that.

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.

I don't see them marching in the streets for Universal Health Care in the US soon.

It's already illegal in NY to not use preferred pronouns. They are already pushing for more DIE commisars. Sensitivity readers... From there to make it mandatory to have a DIE commisar and to have a % of X "oppresed" group it's not much a leap.

You don't need to go for UHC when you can start somewhere else.

I was about to tell you about the joys of Turbotax, but then I read your comment again and realized what you were getting at.

You're amazingly optimistic, though, if you think any of these worthless fuckers are making enough to actually pay taxes.

It does strike me as entirely possible that the way certain folks behave on-line may be completely orthogonal to the way they behave in real life, when face to face.

Heck, having to bite their tongues every day in real life to stay employed might be exactly why they get so vicious on-line; it's the only place they get anything resembling validation or can acquire anything resembling power. There are certainly things I say here that I wouldn't say to the people I have to associate with in real life, for sake of preserving relationships I value.

What the tin says, back on the cesspool that's twatter, the guy behind the Swordsfall kickstarter has been metoed by a lady friend of his, accusations of abuse and fraud followed, he swears he's innocent and I'm all for the innocent until proven guitly principle, but I'm enjoying the Schandenfreude. Mainly as he himself sent many times the mob to harrass others.

In the absence of midget fights on Jerry Springer. SJW cannibalism will have to suffice. The midgets had more dignity though. And raped each other less.

Actually I pointed out the thing in reverse: soon or later they will have to face how the real world works - with paying taxes down the line if somehow they manage to pull off everything else.
