Like SJW college swine, they're midwits who think they're brilliant beccause they took four years of fake education on government welfare. In fact they know nothing and are toxic lunatics who use entryism tactics that would make Commies proud.<br /><br />I'm not calling SJWs commies, btw. Commies have a serious political-economic theory and are genuinely radical and anti-establishment (even if their ideas are bad), SJWs are the useful idiots of the Establishment every time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-11384061574875277012020-08-27T09:07:19.708-04:002020-08-27T09:07:19.708-04:00I think storygames and OSR stuff actually runs on ...I think storygames and OSR stuff actually runs on a similar philosophy, the referee makes a little world and plots the players in to play it, though a lot of storygames to come across as pretentiousOokami no Coochiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565616389519070434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-66845914116142565082014-09-19T03:54:28.401-04:002014-09-19T03:54:28.401-04:00Well said, well said.Well said, well said.Nerzenjägerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02682799127301890341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-16376268003194323472014-09-17T17:35:56.957-04:002014-09-17T17:35:56.957-04:00The relativism is why they have no problem lying o...The relativism is why they have no problem lying or cheating to get their way "for the cause".

Thus they are taught to hate the upper class and all authority and hierarchy other than their own conformity-culture, and that in turn the lower class cannot be trusted to make up its own decisions, and must instead by be strictly regulated through social engineering at the hands of middle-class college-educated elites who know what's best for the world.

And just this summer in the Video Gaming community with #gamergate.<br /><br />When it happened to Atheism I thought it was an odd one off thing, when it happened here in the Tabletop RPG community I was surprised to see the same sort of rhetoric and polemics used by the SJW's. When it struck the Video Game community just last month I was frustrated and dismayed to see the very same smear tactics in use. Twitter shaming, false accusations, letter campaigns to <br />site admins and employees to slander those that disagreed with the SJW line.<br /><br />It's really the same sorts of people with the same agenda invading all hobbies and media. They've already co-opted academia and K-12 education, the courts and the mass media. Now it's onto the small fries like D&D and Halo gamers.<br /><br />Christ I sound like Rush Limbaugh but I'm a centrist I swear ;-). I've just finally had it with the SJW Progressives, their deceitful tactics and totalitarian approach to shutting down all discussion and dissent fro their world view. <br /><br />Censorship is the refuge of the coward, who's ideas are to weak to stand up in the forum of public debate.<br /><br />---<br /><br />Perfect example of the above, Anita Sarkeesian and crew managed to get youtuber Thunderfoot's twitter account suspended.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a4vaZy0a18Gwarhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245346128436771591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-49624765528623242014-09-17T08:42:01.568-04:002014-09-17T08:42:01.568-04:00This is an excellent piece, unfortunately. I say ...This is an excellent piece, unfortunately. I say unfortunately because this has now infected my own circle of gaming friends. You're so spot on about their attitudes as far as the RAW, the GM, and everything. The part of it that really pisses me off is that this one guy in particular has been anti-evangelizing against 5e, and it's all the things you've mentioned.<br /><br />In the past, I might have been tempted to try and see things in a brighter light, but I've seen it come home to roost in my own group, and it's truly horrible. Some people would rather expound their theories in grand philosophical terms than just let themselves have fun playing a game that a friend wants to run. And it's not enough for them to just say, "I don't care for the OSR". No, they have to attempt justify their opinions as objectively better or truer.<br /><br />It's truly disheartening.Fr Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07737890156073976423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-59505087942375406642014-09-17T04:08:43.038-04:002014-09-17T04:08:43.038-04:00Could the attitude be a generational phenomena?
