glassneedles Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I did get a laugh out of the latest post confirming it is a woke mess but the posters name was SJW. Talk about your mixed messages... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full quote for context: Quote Is it woke? Not really. There is no sexual dimorphism for human characters, although occupational/cultic choice of elemental runes might result in one or two characteristic points confirming some bias. There are few cults with hard gender restriction (although for instance an earth priestess must have given birth to a healthy child to become eligible for the position, something most males have a hard time to achieve).

PhilHibbs Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Yeah there's no way that that is "disapproving". It's just looking at ways in which the rules could be described as "woke" and dismantling such notions. And that SJW is just having a pop, if it gets rid of the OP then all to the good. I'd read it as "Yes you'd hate our game so leave us alone kthxbye". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped when I felt that some participants only wanted to start some sort of flame war. As I've previously noted a certain keyboard warrior's "welcome" to me on The RPG Site was to call my mother a whore and wish me dead at the hands of Islamic terrorists. All because we announced we weren't continuing with his favourite edition, and it was my role to communicate that news (lucky me). I don't have an issue with robust discussion, but nerd-rage abuse like that seems to be pretty much textbook cyberbullying, yet the moderators there let that stand, so that was enough for me. 3 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qizilbashwoman Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 John Tarnowski owns and runs it, that pretty much sums it up for me; he thinks people like me, queer people, are part of a Communist plot to overthrow the West. No thank you and bye. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
