As I cannot force a horse to drink the water I have led him to, I cannot force you to see what is equally right before your eyes.

Absolutely nobody had a problem with this back then, and would have no problem with it today.

You're deliberately trying to paint gamers as anti-women when you fully know the reason why people don't like girl-bosses who demean the main character and shoving DEI into games.

You do this because it's obviously wrong to do, so you have to make it seem like something it isn't to try to have any argument at all.

[Sandy Petersen 🪔 @SandyofCthulhu]

I am Sandy Petersen, author of Call of Cthulhu and co-author of the later editions of RuneQuest. To be fair, Call of Cthulhu is, obviously, a really good target for "theater kid" stuff. Angsty 1920s jazz? Oh yes. Better for their ideas than D&D, frankly. And RuneQuest, developed around a world literally designed by an old-school hippy, is ripe for their meddling. And @ratbitebaby is 100% wrong.

I started roleplaying in 1974. My first game group (lasted til 1980) were all from the local university, which had and has a large theater production group (BYU).

I can't speak for other groups, but ZERO of us were what you'd call "theater kids". One of us got a job as a NATO janitor(!); another worked in an alloy manufacturing plant, yet another was an avid deer hunter, a fourth was a lawyer, and so forth.

When I started playing with "outside" groups mostly from California in the early 1980s, we also only rarely met "theater kids". By 1985, they did start creeping into my games. I don't know how many were in D&D by then. But they were not there at the start, and having met Gary Gygax, Jim Ward, Dave Arneson, and Dave Hargrave personally I can say they were the complete Platonic ideals of Not Theater Kids.

Nobody seems to understand this but I cannot stress enough that a judge told Anthropic that training their AI models didn't constitute copyright violation as long as they 'transferred' the text instead of 'copying' it, legally necessitating the destruction of the books

[LA\/ENDER @LavenderGhast]

Theatre kids and nerds were entirely different groups. Theatre kids want everyone to look at them, they're overly dramatic, like drama, it's in the title. Dorks, nerds and metal guys with long hair just wanted to be left alone and look at cool art of dudes using battle axes on dragons.

Dorks, nerds and metal heads made all these types of games. Theatre kids just infested it when it became popular enough to gain attention by making themselves the face of it. And now we have quirky millennial writing plaguing everything.

In some ways it’s terrifying that literal Stalinist language of abuse (“People who lined up at midnight to buy Halo 1, 2 and 3 on their release days were never real Halo fans to begin with”) is being used to shill a shitty video game, but in other ways it’s very very funny.

[Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre]

It doesn't matter if you think the threat of AI becoming Skynet is entirely fictional the real danger is what humans will do in their quest to obtain it

Destroying tens of millions of dollars in books, some of which are extremely rare, is only the beginning

[Quattro (Weiss's Husband) @QuattroMKII]

Clearly the solution is to hire more devs who hate Halo and think modeling guns for games means you're endorsing gun violence.

🚨NEWS: A military court in Poland has acquitted a Private of firing 12 shots at migrants attempting to cross the border illegally

"The judge ruled he was fulfilling his duty to protect the border and found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing"

[NotOk @NotOkN1]

I don't think I've ever seen another protagonist have a hissy fit of this magnitude, where they come into someone's home and destroy a priceless artifact from their nearly extinct culture... And for added disrespect she used fire to do it...

[CTMT @CTMT03K64]

I would say "bake the cake bigot" but hell even that cake shop owner was still willing to serve the gay couple-just not make em specifically an LGBT wedding cake. Even offered a blank one for them to finish up.

While here you won't serve them at all?

Double standards. Piss off
