And I think, if anything, the events in the hobby over the last 3 years has totally vindicated what I wrote. <br />I can understand someone, in mid-2012, thinking it was crazy of me to think that a group inside the hobby would end up engaging in regular and concerted pseudo-activist attacks using "social justice" as a way to impose their personal tastes on everyone else in the hobby. Now, after everything that's happened? After 'consultantgate', all the various other "-gates", the OBS blacklisting, the attacks on even women and minorities who don't agree with their position, I don't think anyone rational would find that a controversial statement. It certainly proved true that the pseudo-activists will stop at nothing, and have NO interest in any kind of compromise or dialogue, only in destroying their chosen targets.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-85399538526104666112015-02-11T10:02:36.340-03:002015-02-11T10:02:36.340-03:00I know this is two years old.

Like you think there's some organized evil conspiracy to "destroy gaming" by some website you don't like(?) and that people on RPG forums saying things you disagree with is proof of this. I mean, surely you don't seriously think that every time soneone on an RPG forum says something stupid or that you disagree with, that they're evil Forge saboteurs working to further some secret agenda.<br /><br />Also Swine is a bit harsh, isn't it?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236091191282556706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-38682224532585615622013-11-21T14:50:27.963-03:002013-11-21T14:50:27.963-03:00I was wondering where all that forum traffic was b...I was wondering where all that forum traffic was being headed from. Interesting. I do see some of it coming from fans of Indie RPGs that want to tear down institutionalized 30+ year-old game mechanics. But the whole rape, torture, and bunny bikini complaints come down to just one or two sentences in all of the 70+ Traveller books Mongoose has published.<br /><br />The latest forum rush is the guy going around to all the forums saying how Traveller art is too caucasian. So thus, must obviously be racist and purged.Shawn Driscollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05570554975738301255noreply@blogger.com
