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.

What stands out to me is that the one example is something that Gygax himself turned around on. Yes, original D&D had "Fighting Man" -- and there was Len Lakofka's embarrassing article on adding women to D&D in The Dragon #3 (1976). But by 1978, Gygax had changed "Fighting Man" to gender-neutral "Fighter" and wrote the Player's Handbook using "he or she" throughout, as well as text references like "Patriarch or Matriarch" for an 8th level cleric.
Yeah but Gary was still awfully White and heterosexual.
So?
1. I'm a married homeowner with a career and kids. I won life. You can't insult me.

2. I've been deployed to Iraq, so your tough guy act is boring.

Well according the race marxists that are teaching our children thats unforgivable, worse he liked weapons, weapons I tell you and he committed the cardinal sin he actual shot a rifle, can you imagine?

If you want to get an idea of the f'd up world the race marxists are building for us, watch pcycho pass, very good future dystopian anime.

Don't forget that he was also a Christian, and even moreso in his later years. That's unforgivable.
