Besides, turn over your average internet SJW and you've got a more-than-even-chance of finding a degenerate anyway.  Normal, non-controversial (to anyone else) behavior such as flirting, or so on, that's a sin to them.  But the bulk of them will defend degenerate behavior, or at least engage in hypocrisy about it.

Quote from: Dan Davenport;1084184I feel your pain. I started reading RPGnet back when it was nothing but reviews and articles. I posted God-knows-how-many reviews there. I even kept up their IRC chatroom when they abandoned it.

I can't stand the place anymore. The Tangency cesspool finally overflowed and filled up the rest of the site. Which is a damn shame.

That was going to happen the day a critical mass was reached and you had your bog-standard Snowflakes who lived in Tangency and proudly proclaimed that they didn't play RPGs at all, they just viewed Tangency as their safe space.

True. The site became about Tangency, and the rules to deal with Tangency issues bled over into the RPG portion.

I've got mixed feelings about Tangency.  I learned a lot there, about logic, and debating, and people.  I came from a pretty sheltered, religious background.  I wasn't able to get any education past high school for various reasons.  And while I got dressed down a lot and picked a lot of fights and enjoyed pissing people off, okay, I did.  I don't know, it gave me something I couldn't really get in my life at the time.  I probably contributed to the victory of the aberrant by making things more toxic but I learned from it and it helped me grow at a time when I was very stuck and going through some difficult shit.  But after the mod wars, the tone changed.  It's weird to me but after the cool kids clique abandoned ship the place just kept getting more conservatively liberal if you know what I mean.  I often wonder if a lot of things I said back in the day would mysteriously reappear if I ever got serious about self publishing or put stuff on rpgnow.  I don't like the sense of being silenced or having to be silent there.  I can understand why it can't be the raucous, wild place it was anymore but the bias clearly leans pretty far left these days.  And yet, it's more toxic than ever as far as I can see.

Finally, the search function would work again.

Ha!  That'd be the day.  I've been trying to find the ending I wrote to my Conan Reepicheep fan fic for years since I lost it to a hard drive failure.

But no, I'm pretty sure there are people who keep lists of names and posts that have offended them, much like our own "This Is Why We Don't Like You" thread.

The sense of entitlement on the part of some SJWs from TBP is both astounding and cringe worthy to read about. " I personally logged on to the SJgames website and hoped theg listened my outright demand..they did not BOYCOTT time! "

Yes because companies just exist for them. I hope Steve Jackson atays firm on his decision. What guarantee does the company have thst the mentally ill SJWs would go back to playing Gurps.

LOL at this thread...the fedoras and mi'ladies out in full force. Hit on a girl in a bar? PREPOSTEROUS!

You guys sound like real social animals.

Stacy's going at Evil Hat again now. I guess she got bored going after SJGames as it seems her efforts there didn't go viral and bough for her.

I am not into Fate/Fred Hicks/Evil Hat, but it is over the top when she says that Fred has " owed me a mortal enemy". I'm positive that Fred did not swear an oath to seek Stacy's death. Also, I note how she minimizes that all she did to Fred prior to that was to call him out for slut-shaming Kingdoms of Death, when what she actually did was lead a boycott of the Fate Core Kickstarter. Now she's at it again because Fred will not send money her way. There's nothing that she claims is wrong with Fate/Evil Hat itself.

"Wah!", cries the scorpion, "the bad man that I stung before won't give me funding, so I'll sting him again!" Unfortunately for Stacy I think at least some of the targets are acquiring an immunity to the poison.

So you agree with the statement that the only reason women go to bars is to get hit on by hot dudes, and they have to expect that they'll get pawed by drunks?

And you still haven't mentioned how often you go to bars.

I agree with the statement that a normal woman FULLY EXPECTS there's a possibility to be hit on by a guy at a bar. Just like I fully expect some rando will start having a conversation with me about whatever game is on at the time I'm at the bar. But then again, I don't go to anti-social millennial bars where everyone is furiously posting on feminist messageboards with their phones. If a girl is at a gaming convention having a drink at a hotel bar and some dude starts chatting her up...so? Should the fisticuffs begin, a shining white knight keeping the dogs at bay? Protect the young maiden from unwanted contact at all costs!

RE: frequency, probably once a week on average, usually on Friday/Saturday nights, with the occasional Saturday or Sunday afternoon. But as stated, I go to like actual bars and stuff, not places socially inept rubes congregate to pretend they're out in public when they actually just want to shun all possible human contact.

Stacy is a dude right? I saw his/her photo on Twitter and it was born a dude, right? This would explain how mentally I'll he/she is.

No, woman.

This kinda describes the classic English pub very well.

Are you sure?
