The Alexandrian has always been garbage. He has repeatedly made accusations he knew were completely false about me. Now, I'm very pleased to see that he's been caught stealing the ideas of the now deceased Paul/Jenelle Jacquays and renaming them for himself.  He even went back and renamed them in retroactive edits of his blog, apparently. to "Xandering" instead of Jacquaying. And he's invented a bunch of bullshit excuses worthy of a grave-robber to try to justify himself.

Note: Sorry for the video being by Dungeons and Discourse, who is almost utterly unbearable to watch, and actually tries to mitigate/take the Alexandrian's side at the very end (of course, he's still a leftist cunt so it must be mitigated), but it was still the best overall telling of the whole sordid turn of events.



Except to add that Jacquays' widow has now come out and called the Alexandrian on a lie again (this time he was implying that he had the widow's support):




So yes, after this useless bitch who never added an original thought to the hobby relentlessly tried to have me cancelled, the schadenfreude is sweet.

Diversity and Discourse is too mentally ill to realize just how bad it looks for him to try to mitigate this drama. I think it's absolutely fine to use other people's ideas so long as you credit them. To actively try to obfuscate something someone else did is, especially someone who contributed a lot to RPGs as we know them, is nakedly awful. To abet that by even trying to downplay it is so obviously morally bankrupt only the type of person Diversity and Discourse is could ever do that. It's not something someone who's all there does. Even if you're actually being dodgy there should at least be an attempt to hide the wrong doing. This is such a weird video. All these people are massive cunts.

Had to read that name a few times as i thought you were talking about Diversity and DRAGONS. 

The blog post where ole Xander is trying to retcon the name is goddamn minefield and he is getting shit on from ALL sides.  Fuck this guy.

This is why you NEVER kowtow to these lunatics, never aquiesce, and stick to your guns when they start calling you all the *ists and *phobes on the planet.

I'm just going through his latest https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/50588/site-news/a-second-historical-note-on-xandering-the-dungeon

I think even Justin's supporters would admit that he can be a bit of a dick. I guess my own feeling is that he is both genuinely talented and incredibly full of himself. I think his arrogance in this case has taken him to a position here where he could uncharitably be described as a "lying thieving shit".  I wouldn't exactly go so far. I think a combination of issues including him being a leftist douchebag and an insufferable prick (who has written some good stuff!) has combined with Jaquays' holy cow status as a deceased trans ex-man, has got Alexander in fairly well deserved trouble.

I have to say this somewhere: I kind of like Paul Jaquays' stuff, though there wasn't enough treasure in Thracia, the design was good. He was a very typical '70s horny Judges Guild D&D guy, with big breasted barbarians making frequent appearances in his work. The idea that he was 'always a girl on the inside', as opposed to an Aspergery Autogynephile, is completely laughable. At least he stuck with his long-suffering wife.

I believe they are (attempting to) talk about the "Dungeons & Discourse" Youtuber, who is a left wing female Warhammer fan from (and in) Northern Ireland. Her family are IRA supporting Catholics, mine are conservative anti-IRA Ulster Unionists, but I still watch her sometimes for the familiar accent.

Dungeons & Discourse is a Person of Gender. Not a woman. This should be obvious just from looking at him. Then he opens his mouth and his very male voice should be the biggest clue.

Nope, divorced 2011. The 'Lesbian' wife is mkII.

I'm pretty sure she's just homely.

No dude. That's a man. Women do not look and more importantly sound like that. I've no idea why this is even being discussed. It's so obvious it should go without saying. You can even see his five o'clock shadow beneath the bad foundation he cakes himself in.

Oh. I guess I wasn't following closely enough.

Does anyone else think she's a man?  She seems a pretty typical Belfast nerd girl to me.

Nah, not manly at all. Tyranno should get his hearing checked.

I've occasionally been fooled by a trans while scrolling eHarmony for long enough to send them a 'like'  , but Discourse doesn't seem male at all to me. Obviously she's more masculine than the average woman, but less so than my ex wife (who had an ovarian cyst leading to excessive testosterone), and nothing like any ex-man trans I ever saw.

I thought that was a dude...

Do we really need a 3rd thread for this squabble?

I only made it a minute into that video. The combination of that voice and the smarmy dirt digger youtube trash presentation is vomit inducing. Christ people have some standards.
