GamerGate was quickly and correctly equated with chubby, neckbearded unwashed freaks who hated women because of the constant rejection in their lives.

Annnnnd stopped reading.

What a fucking holier-than-thou cunt.

chubby, neckbearded unwashed freaks

You know that stereotype used to be something I would see a lot from people outside the typical nerd groups use to describe us. It's sad that I see it more and more used by people inside the group to shame other 'nerds'...remember when it was wrong to bully someone because of there waight/face fuzz and lack of social savvy

It happened along with the geek sheek fashion trend. People who saw themselves as to good to associate with the dirty mongrels no sense of solidarity with those who are not able to stand up for themselves or are actually just socially inept

sad

That's fucking hilarious. I could at least understand the choice of insult if he were a skinny jean toting hipster, but he is by all accounts a fat dude with a shitty beard trying to belittle other dudes by calling them fat and saying they have shitty beards!

So far none of these social justice folks have explained adequately why a fat male with poor hygiene deserves to be hated on while they preach about tolerance and acceptance of others.

I stopped at the part where they said they had the moral high ground immediately after calling a bunch of people neckbeards and freaks, and fat shaming people after demanding that the tabletop wargaming community be more accepting and kind to its members.

Normally I'm up for some good old name calling, but it's really the hypocrisy of saying something along the lines of "We need to be more open and caring, but you faggots and retards need to leave or change your tune, oh and by the way I have the moral high ground for saying this!"

I'm slightly in shock, why, how, why do these people insist on spreading their toxic bullshit to everything I love?

SJWs won't stop until they have taken over every hobby and fandom known to man. It bothers the shit out of them that people might be having fun and enjoying themselves rather than living in a state of perpetual outrage over social injustice.

[–]CongenoRule #1: LISTEN & BELIEVE 32ポイント33ポイント  (4子コメント)

If this type of shit bothers you, try going to an RP site. It is always the most cringe inducing shit you'll ever see in your entire life.

I have never, in all my years, seen any player intentionally make a character that had multiple penises, and 6-sets of breast with fuckable nipples outside of a game of Corruption of Champion, FATAL, or an epic troll... Until I discovered the Tumblr RP tag. To fully drive home how horrific modern fantasy role playing is, I direct you to the cold Hell that is roleplay.chat

Pick a profile. ANY PROFILE.

They won't stop then either. They're called warriors for a reason: they self-identify as people who fight for progress and gain status through struggling and conquering. If there aren't any easy targets, they create new ones, for example by fracturing internally. That's how it used to go before the internet provided easily accessible outside enemies.

Can see it :

Bunch of friends playing

SJW turns up 'Hey can i join you?'

Ignorant Friends : 'Sure'

After a few hours of : 'Don't say that , you can't say that , don't paint models like that , thats sexist , thats homophobic , etc ' group of friends will either tell them to fuck off or not invite them again.

[–]Smokratez 63ポイント64ポイント  (8子コメント)

Which is working as intended. It either splits sense of community, or it is accepted and will spread to other communities to split them up. If anyone ever doubts why social justice is a disease, this is a good example.

[–]Meafy 30ポイント31ポイント  (6子コメント)

thing is in stuff like tabletop where there are actually human interactions , SJW are easy to spot and either avoid or counter. Its also a lot easier to see how small a group they are with no megaphone like twitter etc.

the best thing is Games Workshop already has a policy on "no politics" in it's stores if you're there to take part in activities.. As soon as they start spewing their garbage, tell the store manager and they'll be asked to leave.

They do it in Magic the Gathering, but it's mostly top-down. I think this is part kg the reason why there's been so much resistance lately.

Something called Valkyries I think. Trying to create safe spaces for girl players.

Except Magic has NEVER been welcoming or tolerant of new players regardless of gender. It's very much a "get good or get out" community.

You know I've never actually visited 4chan before? I think I've been on 8chan once or twice due to double-checking links related to gamergate, but other than that, my interaction with chan-culture has been extremely limited.

Does the chan defense work? I imagine it would, I mean, you make a place so intolerable (Get it?) for someone that they can't do anything but get away, I'd think it would naturally keep those types out.

Sort of. That's why they developed their technique of top-down entryism. If the user base of a group won't bend the knee, they slowly start accumulating regulatory power to force their ideals.

Here I thought Tabletop Gaming was too obscure and dense to be infiltrated by antigamers. I can just imagine their reaction to WH40k; too much violence, it's sexist that women can't be space marines, the sisters of battle are too fetishy, points for Dah Emprah being a POC but deducted for being a patriarchal shitlord.

[–]minecraftimous 18ポイント19ポイント  (5子コメント)

Sisters of Battle.

oh wait.

Don't worry about GW that much. they have a rule that no politics is allowed in their stores. As soon as they start spewing their garbage point it out and the staff with warn them and eventually kick them out.

Actually, I HAVE seen people bitch about that. I have overheard people in my local game store complain about the "rampant misogyny and sexism" in all Games Workshop games. Lots of complaints about how there aren't female Space Marines or Imperial Guard and how all the women in the Adepta Sororitas look like supermodels.

[–]iribrise 20ポイント21ポイント  (0子コメント)

all the women in the Adepta Sororitas look like supermodels.

Wow, that sure is rough with all these beef as fuck space marines running around. Wait...

It's an especially idiotic statement when -the player- gets to customize the mini. If you want to make a badass, scarred-up Sororitas and you paint the shit outta that bitch, people will love it.

And as I say every time "female Space Marines" comes up, and will probably say elsewhere on this thread-- if they made female space marines, I would likely stop caring about Warhammer 40k. As a woman, it would offend me to be pandered to by destroying the unique specialties of the universe-- I love the Sisters of Battle, I love that they are (relatively) normal humans in power armor devised to get around the "no men at arms" rule, and I love the "family" dynamics of Space Marines because of their genetic connections.

[–]Asaoirc 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

There's tonnes of female imperial guard. It's just not every regiment allows it. Hell, that space marine game had a female guard officer. Oh, and don't forget some of the most powerful people in the setting, Inquisitors, have plenty of females.

[–]boommicfucker 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

There are female Guardsmen... granted the only one that comes to mind at the moment is the Lieutenant from the 40k Space Marines video game. Also when they are all in uniform how can you tell who is and who isn't female? Kind of like with the Tau codex. It specifically says that there are female Tau, just that we humans don't know the difference between them.

[–]IVIaskerade 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Tona Criid is another female guards(wo)man. Jessie Banda, Nessa Bourah, Sehra Muril, Ana Curth... lots of examples from the Gaunts' Ghosts series.

Then there's the protagonist of Mechanicum, Dalia Cythera, who becomes the guardian of the Dragon of Mars, and Koriel Zeth, a forge master - one of the highest positions on Mars. Both quite important.

They aren't guard, but Kara Swole and Patience Kys also played important roles in inquisitorial business. Alizabeth Bequin is an untouchable who worked for Eisenhorn. Furthermore, Amendera Kendrel was one of the founding members of the Inquisition. Currently, Jenna Orchiel and Helynna Valeria are two of only a dozen named inquisitors in the canon.

Miriya is the central character in two separate novels, and (at least in the first book) a Celestian in the Sororitas. That's quite an honoured position.

O'Shaserra (Commander Shadowsun) is female. She's currently the highest-ranking Tau general.

As you can clearly see, there is absolutely no room for women anywhere in the game, and no women have ever done anything of consequence according to all of 40k lore.

[–]krautkid 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Lol what? Battle Sisters are incredibly bad ass. Like, holy what the fuck. They aren't space marines but then, who the fuck would want to be? The whole thing sounds kinda like an agnosing process... And Elder use lots of female warriors.

I started playing WH40k due to an ex, and the community was nothing but accepting and helpful when I began my army of evil mecha skeletons intent on crushing all life underfoot.

The Adepta Sororitas are all actual warriors, so they have to keep fit. That means lean and muscular.

Compared to the butter golems that complain about this sort of thing, they are supermodels.

They actually had that thread on RPG.NET (which is located in SF and suprised, surprise, run by SJW's now). Basically had one group saying that and another group pointing out that it is a grim dark universe and that was the damn point. Of course the sjw mods came in and silenced anybody with opinions that did not follow the narrative.

    I'm just glad that the things I love and cherish are pretty much immune.

    I mean, horror is never going to be vulnerable to this shit, because every horror fan loves reading about terrible things. Rape, torture, castration, mental or physical abuse, killing, flaying, body horror, racism, etc.; when your subjects are terrible people/things (or people trying to survive terrible people/things), there just isn't a damned thing they can do about it. They've tried -- idiotic 'deconstructions' of the 'final girl' (the main character in horror movies is often female because the audience is fairly female, not because we hate women, and very few final girls are actually virgins or even represented as being 'pure'. Cabin in the Woods and Behind the Mask are both full of shit on that one) have been made. Nobody listens, nobody cares.

    Horror can only be attacked from without, not from within. We are inherently people who love to wallow in the darkest of places.

    Social Justice in Table Top Gaming

    So long story short, I'm playing /pol/'s version of Ben Garrison in my friends Call of Cthulhu d20 game and having a total blast.

    EDIT: This was posted already. The general consensus was that it had a snowballs chance in Hell because Table Top is such a personal, close knit thing that you're only going to play with friends who know what kind of person you are.

    "The thing is, right wing views tend toward putting yourself first over the collective good of others....."

    I confused why he would say that in an article focused on fascism, of all things. People point to fascism as the BBEG of right wing politics, but iifascist politics is ALL about putting "the good of the group" above the individual**. Fascism=fasces=that weird Roman symbol comprised of sticks bound around an axe. It's all about subsuming the individual into the society at large; there is no aspect of life or culture that the government does not feel like it has the right to poke its fingers into. The unimportance of the individual is baked right into the cake from the start with symbolism like that.

    I am unaware of any fascist system in the world that elevated the Individual above the collective. Can anyone can point to an example of a nasty, right wing regime in history that put the Individual before the collective?

    I think he may be confusing the more libertarian/anarchist "it's my hot body I do what I want/AM I BEING DETAINED?!!1" crowd with the right wing. I do look forward to the rest of the series, though, especially with respect to what who "them" the them following sentence is:

    The next article talks about the problems created by right wing capitalism and why we shouldn’t accept them as war gamers

    Ohhhh capitalism? You mean the thing that allows your hobby to exist? I don't recall there being too much commercial tabletop wargaming going on in the USSR. Also...

    All people with right wing views? All people with right wing leanings? Capitalists? People who think Nigel Farage is a complete boob, but says something insightful once in a blue moon?

    Is it impossible to simply try and make people behave in a welcoming manner without being unwelcoming to people with different political views, or do should we run them out even if they can bring themselves to abide by our social mores and behave inclusively? If someone casually mentions that they are a registered Republican, or that they volunteered for a Tory political campaign, do I get to kick them out guilt-free even if they've never done or said anything problematic at the store? Because honestly that all sounds pretty harsh and I'm sure he doesn't actually mean that [1], but, language is important, as they say, and there's a lot of leeway in language like "we shouldn't accept [people with right wing views]".

    I'm nitpicking, but I'm using his tweezers.

    I do personally believe that the right wing is an inherently bad and unsustainable thing

    What a close-minded sap. I feel bad for people who can say stuff like that unironically and not cringe, at least a bit.

    [1] No I'm sure he does.

    Not much of a tabletop gamer myself, but I have a few people in social circles I frequent who are. From what I've heard, they've been sniffing around this area for years.

    I don't know what the cure is... Only hope I have is that all the shit that's been dragged up over the course of A+, comics and GG somehow means they get shot down harder and faster each time we go round this loop.

    Know the warning signs. Divide and conquer. Remember that one may just seem quirky and weird, like the rest of you. Remember that infiltration is not an instantaneous thing. One will hop in, may even be a pretty decent human being for the most part... but then they want a friend to join in. And then another. And another. Once they get enough people in, they'll start to divide and conquer. All they have to do is get enough of your friends to leave, or get enough of theirs in.

    No, I'm not saying to be paranoid. Not every weird person wanting in on your tabletop game is going to try to make a power-grab or make a 'safe space'. Just be aware. Don't be afraid to discuss concerns with other long-standing members of your group about the 'new' members. Oftentimes, the silence causes them to possibly not voice their own concerns, lest they worry they are just causing drama.

    Well, we all know Wil Wheaton has been all up in tabletop gaming for quite a while. Smug shit that he is, he HAS done a lot for the hobby and no one can take that away from him.

    Tabletop war gaming is slightly different, considering the amount of money required to get all up in that, but it's close enough.

    Aaaand obligatory hatred of the right as Nazi loving/Jew hating racists. I know plenty of WW2 mini gamers (Flames of War, Bolt Action, Secrets of the Third Reich, etc.) who play German armies, but I haven't met one yet who plays because of some love of Nazis or racist ideology. Generally, the German Army gets some fun tanks, good hardcore units, and plays like the "elite" army on the field.

    Conversely, I know several people (myself included) that refuse to play Wehrmacht forces precisely because of the connection to Hitler.

    [–]Red-Sabre 8ポイント9ポイント  (4子コメント)

    I know a few. Myself included who play a panzer company in bolt action. It has absolutely nothing to do with a sympathy for nazi ideology. It's simply because who doesn't want to field a king Tiger. I have an American armoured company for the same reason because Pershing's are cool. I would refuse to have an SS force though. That's taking it a little too far for me.

    The makers of bolt action have released a few models for each army that go somewhat cultish. There's a British vampire hunter. An American who looks like Duke nukem. An actual german vampire and these bdsm ss women. I think the company largely gave up on the idea of the cult side of things (pretty sure none of the minis show up in the army books).

    I'm pretty sure there are rulesets dedicated the occultish type things where you legit have armies of ware wolves verses mechs. Unfortunately I can't think of the names atm. But Bolt Action is great to get into. Player base is growing. Minis are nice and there are thousands of other company's that make nice 28mm ww2 minis as well. Check out the rules on YouTube too. It's very different from 40k. Alot quicker and personally much more enjoyable. 40k fluff still rules though.

    I finally "get it". I'm not much of a gamer. I stick to just a few but I've come here over the past few weeks of Reddit drama. My SO is into board games so I am pretty familiar with that culture, he works at a board game shop, plays 3-4 nights a week, goes to conventions etc. I do paint miniatures on the side. Because of it I'm much more aware of the culture of board games and tabletop games.

    Am I wrong or did the guy just say you shouldn't use Nazi symbols in an historical context?! I guess I'm becoming a social libertarian. So let me get this straight, people are joining a community that has been fine on its own for years. They don't like parts of it, and instead of choosing not to interact with people they don't like, they want to police the entire community? They want everyone to change for them?

    I'm a woman and I would have no problem playing with the nude and scantily clad minis. However, if I didn't like it, I would just choose to play with another group. I might be pissed at the individuals but they have a right to be assholes.

    Thankfully tabletop wargaming is too niche to really warrant a "social victory".

    If you want a good analogy for what would happen if the social justice warlords turned their attention to full tabletop gaming, see the 4e DnD debacle. WotC tried to crush dissent, it tore their community in half along casual/hardcore lines. They kept the casual minority, who summarily became bored and left for other interests. The majority of the "hardcore" TTRPers switched to Paizo's Pathfinder. WotC lost most of their influence over tabletop gaming because they tried to force gamers down a path they didn't want to tread.

    not that I don´t believe you but do you have any sell numbers or something like that?

    Not of hand, but I do know for a fact that when D&D 4E came out, within a year Pathfinder was outselling it.

    As for what they did, they ignored everything good about 3E & decided to essentially scrap the entire system in an attempt to turn it into World of Warcraft. The reaction was that the old school gamer,s the REAL D&D players left, leaving only the casuals & the trendies, who true to form got bored & also left when they ran out of real D&D players to argue with (the reason they were there in the first place) & the bottom fell out of the book sales.

    [–]DwarfGate 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I've actually seen this happen before, though for the love of all that is good I cannot find the old 4chan post on it.

    A group was playing Play-By-Post 4th ed D&D, and the bard was a SJW girl playing some woman whose backstory involved being loved for her voice and being horribly betrayed by any men she trusted on three separate occasions. The party was at or near level 30, the max level, so these are the kinds of people who might accidentally destroy a schoolhouse if they break wind too violently.

    She was always, ALWAYS being an antagonistic bitch. If she could stand in place and buff/heal a man or move, take an attack of opportunity, and do the same or less to a woman she would go for the woman. Outside of battle it was a fucking warzone in and out of character to convince this bitch that she needs to heal the men of the party or they will die in combat and their mission would fail. Reminder; nobody ever treated her like shit, she just had the attitude and was not gonna let it go. She spec'd entirely for Diplomacy and for months was creating a Ritual - basically a Deus Ex Machina spell - and at the end of the campaign attempted to enact it. When the queen of the land they were in was in a public forum with them using a magic device to broadcast to the whole queendom she approached the 'mic' and began going Full McIntosh (this all happened before GamerGate was even a thing btw - don't even try it SJW, the ride's not over yet).

    She began spewing the feminazi bullshit about how every war ever was started by men (even though they had only ever been to two countries throughout the adventure) and the only way to save the world would have been to cast this magic ritual to put all men into a coma where they would slowly die, with about 1 in 10 women transforming into hermaphroditic breeders to keep the races alive.

    Of course, being a tabletop game the party was mostly male and were not going to have any of this. This lady had some balls saying all this shit ten feet away from the other heroes of the queendom, who had just seen her roll an 18 on her Diplomacy roll and having every conceivable modifier in the book just tell them their reward for risking life and limb was death.

    The barbarian went bro-mode. He had this ability to buff his attacks with a war cry so he basically drew his sword and charged her yelling "FUUUCK YOOOUUU WHOOORE!" and round-by-round just kept hacking away at her. Bards might be extremely versatile but 1v1 against a barbarian while unbuffed was a death sentence. As she was down to her last few hitpoints the fighter, a woman being played by a woman, walked up and drew her own sword, saying "Some of us like MEN attached to our dicks, bitch." and stabbed her to death on the spot.

    I like to imagine the two bard-killers got married and had lots of children.

    This article was posted here already, but I'm going to copy my comment here regarding Sisters of Battle and the idea of female Space Marines, because I fuuuuucking hate that idea and feel the need to protest it every time I see it again:

    It is not offensive, unfair or inequitable for women not to be Space Marines. Denying sexual dimorphism is not a way to be fair to women, it's a way to try and eliminate our unique capabilities and strengths in favor of saving one's self the time to actually think about equality. I never want women to be Space Marines, because the position that Sisters of Battle have in the 40k universe is unique and fascinating. The fact that they exist to get around the rule of having no "men at arms," their heritage of influence from the Sisters of Silence as separate from the Space Marine heritage from the Thunder Warriors, and their unique role of serving various masters in various ways (Ordo Hereticus sisters being my absolutely favorite as an Inquisition fangirl)-- these all make them stand out in a field of very cool organizations and units developed for the universe.

    To homogenize matters just to make people feel better is offensive. I love the brother/son/father bonds tested in Space Marine stories, particularly the Horus Heresy. Given the genetic nature of the Space Marines, there's a real... weird space family undercurrent that makes these stories different.

    Bolter bitches are great, (most) Space Marines are great, let's leave them both to be great doing different things because it's fucking interesting. If we want to complain about people doing shitty things with them, let's complain about Sororitas being weak to Slaaneshi cultists. Some of these writers severely underestimate female bloodlust. Khorne needs us just as much. And anyone in GG should know about women's aptitude for scheming-- Tzeentch is a powerful master for such corrupt women.

    I will leave comments about whales and Papa Nurgle to someone more rude than I.

    The lack of situational awareness is staggering here.

    But the fact is, you’re sharing a space with people, you don’t have the right to say anything you want if it causes others to not enjoy their hobby.

    The key thing to take away is that only the right kinds of people aren't allowed to be offended where as the "bad" people should have their enjoyment interrupted.

    Political correctness isn’t a bad thing, unless you like beating up gay men and calling them queers.

    Look at all of that projection projection!

    Another thing I think is a big part of the problem is how much right wing views are accepted, within the hobby.

    Ah is this the heart of the matter? They start using a pretty broad brush in the article and later in the comments that all right wing views are bad and that all right wing types are inherently racist, homophobic, and sexist. What's even more funny is how he complains that Warhammer is a parody of the right wing and he's not happy that people play along those lines. I don't get why he's even playing it now.

    Call these people out, let them know that glorifying fascist regimes is in itself fascist, and that you don’t want any part of that. Solidarity with hobbyists can make people see the error of their ways, or at least silence them, so more progressive people don’t have to listen to their bollocks.

    As a DnD player for several years, I don't get what needs to be done. DMs provide the content that they, the creator, would like to see. If you are the DM and you don't like some pre-written content just change things the way you want. You don't even have to "write your own story" you literally just change genders as you see fit. If you wanted everyone to be trans and disabled you can do that in two seconds.

    If you're a player, you can make your character however you want and the DM should be crafting your story arch for you exactly as you want!

    Moreover, plenty of women enjoy playing games like DnD. I've been to conventions where you see plenty of women playing DnD and I've never once seen a guy do anything especially cringeworthy. They're a pretty respectful group overall.

    Coming to tabletop games? Go to Boardgame Geek sometime. It's BEEN in tabletop gaming for a while. Thankfully, most boardgamers tend to skew older, so they tend to brush it off and ignore it rather than catering to it. There recently was the ridiculous "controversy" over Kingdom Death: Monster and Lapdance, and before that was the inanity surrounding Tentacle Bento, but there was enough pushback within the community that none of it went anywhere. That doesn't mean that there aren't the obligatory "Dis game R filld wit nekkid wimmins and R bads! U guys better not buy or misawjunny!" posts here and there, but the comments on those threads tend to generally consist of people telling them that nobody forces anyone to buy and play the games, so to just shut up.

    Nevermind actually the author is fat with a beard. Someone should tell him. Although he must be drowning in pussy by the sounds of it.

    It is true that Games workshop stank like week old BO with a squirt of Lynx(Axe) on top. I could never stay in there long on game day. But I dunno if that adds to the authenticity.

    I never knew so many women were itching to get in on tabletop games and the only thing stopping them was pictures of tits. I saw one hot goth girl in games workshop once, painting a daemon prince. I went back even though she was already surrounded by orbiters, but she could always use another.

    He had a good point if he kept it to what he said in the comments about friends having a shorthand for talking to each other than crosses the lines of decency. If I'm at a gaming store playing Warhammer 40k and start ranting about faggot ass eldar star cannons, that IS pretty inappropriate for a public setting. Not doing something like that is simply not being a crazy person. His article should have been just that "don't be a crazy person". But no. He decided to be offended by excellent paint jobs on a miniature that would either be accurate for the period or at the very least fit the theme of the game. If I painted a giant swastika on my Ford Escape, it would be inappropriate and clearly the car of a crazy person. On a WW2 German tank? Totally fine.

    I'm curious what people think about this scenario: The tank from that picture in a WH 40k army. I mean, I think it is already, that looks like Imperial guard base chasis but I'm not sure which tank it is. I wouldn't tell another player I was offended by his paint job, because ultimately who cares, but its a pretty odd choice, haha.

    As you can see, even 7 years ago the PC police would try to get you ejected from their stores for displaying nazi imagery on your minis. There are also a lot of people against doing that. I've seen the topic come up a few times there and it's always divided. Of note, the gamergate thread was divided too until being closed down due to getting too "hot".

    browsing 4chan

    Halfchan is confirmed controled by SJW mods since October last year. Haven't you seem the leaked logs from there?

    Tabletop games are under attack by the PC police for a long time... Didn't you see the case of the guy that created cards against humanity.and others?

    Why the surprise?

    A haven for those of us who don’t like to scream ‘WAAAGHH’ across a table

    Literally the worst kind of person

    Seriously though, this entire thing is a trainwreck.

    Again, it should be obvious that this is wrong. Call these people out, let them know that glorifying fascist regimes is in itself fascist

    Apparently I'd be glorifying fascism and, therefore, fascist if I created anything that thematically resembled one particular WW2 army.

    Does this fool realize how many of my female friends of tried to get into tabletop gaming? Most don't want to play any tabletop games outside of your basic board games because there's still a stigma attached that only the most pathetic of nerds pay tabletop. I got one girlfriend to finally cave and play D&D and she lasted maybe three games. Most PEOPLE don't play tabletop, let alone women.

    Geek culture” – if you can contain that idea in your mind without being violently ill – had a turning point in the last few years.

    Basically geeks are dead. Geeks don't have to be your audience.

    Homophobia is fucking rampant, mostly it’s indirect and ignorant, but that doesn’t mean it’s not damaging. Saying “Eldar are gay” isn’t funny, we’re not 5 year olds who are vaguely aware “gay” is a bad word

    Taste the rainbow mother fucker.

    Eldar ARE pretty gay though; wasn't it their planetwide orgy that birthed Slaneesh in the first place? You don't summon the chaos god of debauchery with straight missionary sex.

    Besides, they get d-cannons. I'll go gay for d-cannons :)

    . . . we’ve got more people than ever reading massive Fantasy novels, picking up board games, Dungeons and Dragons and all that good stuff. It’s a small leap to miniature wargaming . . .

    I think someone might want to measure that leap. I might just be a bit elietest, but unless you're talking about one of the "collectible" mini wargames (Star Wars: Armada, HeroClix) there is a HUGE step over from board games to 1,000 painted tanks, + infantry, terrain, and leaving the game set up for a week.

    This is nothing new. But its mostly been contained to pen and paper RPGs. Not wargaming. Go check out RPG.net. it used to be the best place to talk about RPGs, but its nothing more than a quibbering mass of politically correct moderators banning everyone left and right, even those that simply ask "what do you mean by that? Help me understand." And label it "concern trolling".

    Then also perpetuate their own little sexist myth that 1st Ed DnD gave female characters -2 Str, which is a complete lie as it is nowhere in ANY 1st Ed rulebook.

    "Coming to"? Like as in it's not already here? I guess nobody has been to RPGNet then. The modern trend in RPGs has been to release a rules light, story light, low concept idea in pdf form and then expect people to pay money for it. Most modern RPGs are the tabletop equivalent of Sunset. SJWs infested my prime hobby ages ago and do what they always do. If anything, normal gaming is seeing a resurgence from the hell of the 1998-2008 period.

    Welp, time to tell my girlfriend that our hobby room for board games, DnD and PC Gaming is now off limits cause it's apparently not a safe space for her.

    [–]BaronSathonyx 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    SJWs are not going to have a great deal of success for the forseeable future, as we're all too busy raging and sperging out on Games Workshop for utterly destroying Warhammer Fantasy with this Age of Sigmar horseshit.

    This is already a thing. It has been a thing.

    Blue Rose's developers have outright said that the game is there to promote an antipatriarchichal, feminist agenda.

    Wil Wheaton is somehow popular with fake tabletop gamers.

    Eclipse Phase's devs outright said that they didn't want MRAs playing their game, and that they were 'fired' a few years back.

    One stupid article isn't an invasion but I would like to see them try to explain how I hate Jews with my German army. Seeing as I am a Jew and my grandparents were survivors and I am proud as fuck of my heritage.

    I don't even slightly understand how they get from "you can see this model's tits" to "therefore submissive". She's got a freaking broadsword, does that look submissive to you?!
