Jesus Wept guys, congrats for falling into the trap.

1. The trap had cookies.
2. We like cookies and since both "words are violence" AND "silence is violence", the party for the kewl kids is inside the meaningless trap.
3. Jesus needs to nut up and stop crying so much.

I don't see what this product actually brings to the RPG hobby. What possibly can be said on the topic at this point that Macho Women With Guns hasn't already in a much more eloquent manner.

MWWG was for straight white male nerds to play sexy lesbian stripper ninjas shooting male chauvinist pigs, in a comedic manner.
TSL is for straight white male nerds to play fat unattractive black lesbians dealing with their relationship issues, in a Very Serious manner.

So, clearly completely different!

The whole point of this exercise by Evil Hat is to Virtue Signal by getting pushback and criticism that allows them to gather Alphabet Cred.

That is something I'd considered. But with these loons its so hard to tell anymore.

Outrage marketing could well be in effect here. Free advertising right here on the RPGsite.

Bemusingly my sisters loved Macho Women with Guns.

The depths some people will go to get a product with no real substance noticed just blows my mind. This is just a complete WTF moment for me in publishing. That people would actually pay money for something so obviously banal and forgettable.

The irony is that because the company expanded too quickly they lost money and had to cut back on their production schedule. Somehow this product is not only going to reverse that it's going to make them tons of money.

To show that the owner of the company and the company itself is as woke as possible and to make sure that they are spouting all the correct SJW buzzwords. Remember Fred Hicks is the same person who accused HP Lovecraft of being a racist yet attached Cthulhu to his last product because otherwise it would not have sold as well. Claims money is the root of all evil yet routinely uses Kickstarter and makes sure to tell their fans to support Evil Hats latest Kickstarter.  Then gets triggered and offended when rightly called out on his hypocrisy.

   I doubt it--all the 'best people' are on board with the LGBTQIAAETC movement, after all, and while the persecution narrative still gets some traction, this seems to be part of the 'celebrate, expand, and punish unbelievers' phase.

That really goes a long way to explaining why so many "modern gamers" hate it.

That does again raise the point that far more real women want to play characters who look like



than like

That's OK, because if you look at the list of makers mentioned on the KS campaign page, or even the Twitter chatter surrounding the game, you will notice something really, really curious:



I will let you discover what that is. 

Greetings!

Indeed. They are all gay and Trans men, a few weird gender-fluid, polyamorous women, and in general, rainbow freaks.

They are all So fabulous!

These people are the tip of the spear of much of the insane Marxism and "Intersectionality" BS that are invading our society and hobby and seeking to transform and change everything through the "glorious revolution".

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

I love the title, even though it sounds like Lesbians Thirsty for Swords. Make of that what you wish. 

I pretty much had this same thought when I first read the title. I was like "why would lesbians be thirsty for swords? Isn't the point of lesbians that they don't like swords?"

Obviously they were suffering from internalized misogyny.

  Is it just me, or do the rightmost and third-from-the-right figures look like they come from a completely different game/setting than the rest?

Welp, first of all, these iconic characters for the game all look like drag queens. Most hardcore man-hating lesbians find drag queens more offensive than a mere white cis-gendered guy.

That's because most drag queens are doing it to mock women and legitimately transexual people. It's a hate crime being forced down the throats of the victims. While the abusers use "acceptance" to both shield and allow them to continue their hateful actions.

I was asked to jump in on a public game last night in a bar. It was 5e. I am an old guy (51), grizzled, 6'4", most people think I am a viking or really into the show/lifestyle. I sat next to a nice young gay man, we all helped a lady in her 60s that was curious about gaming. Everyone had fun. It was really that easy. I was asked to DM but had a 5 minute chat with the guy that wanted to and he did a great job. I will say it again, EVERYONE HAD FUN. Gaming doesn't have to be about throwing in adjectives and telling people they cannot play your game, to me, it should be about setting aside our differences and having fun.

When I started gaming I was an outcast, not by choice. Now people that make themselves stand out want to dictate who can or cannot play games instead of having the courage to just be decent to others.

And technically, in the disclaimer for their game they make it unplayable by everyone because technically,  everyone IS a bigot: big·ot
/ˈbiɡət/
noun
a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.

Are they not intolerant of other people's beliefs by labeling and dismissing people?
