I’d like to see a pattern of TikTok leftist ranters getting a punch within the mouth mid-rant. TBPers could be good candidates for this corrective beating.

I, alternatively, would favor we not assault and batter folks for wrongthink. If you are incapable of refuting what they’re saying in a persuasive method, strive tougher. Beating folks for having an opinion you disagree with is weak and exhibits your insecurity in your personal beliefs.

That could be good. However, they’re preventing a conflict and are already within the “assault and assault for wrongthink” stage. The longer we wait earlier than responding in type – and worse – the harder it’s going to be.

If somebody is bodily assaulting you by all means defend your self. But folks ranting on TikTok is not folks assaulting you. Don’t punch them for having beliefs you assume are silly and unhealthy.

 No.  if somebody provides credible menace defend your self.  Wait till you get hit is a fairly good technique to get fucked up.

Fair sufficient, however that is nonetheless not tiktok rants not directed at you however at concepts and imprecise teams.

Affirmative motion is codified menace.  Has been doing massive harm for some time.  Fight worthy?

Thou shalt not level out the apparent holes within the OneD&D playtest, peasant.

“It appears to me that WotC are flailing round in a maelstrom of Wokeness, not fairly comprehending what the issue is or what they’re presupposed to do about it. We could as properly simply have one race, and known as them “X Lings”. An Xling could be something from 2 foot to 10 foot tall, have wings, or flippers, or scales, or horns or tails. They could be weak or robust, wholesome or sickly, intelligent or silly. Build your Xling character by selecting from the next listing of stats, traits, expertise and feats. The finish.”

Hopefully WotC will not see this in any other case they may in all probability steal the thought for the subsequent playtest doc.

And thus, the Woke’s variety fetish will probably be achieved by making everybody basically the identical. Seems like a 1984-like “Freedom is Slavery” slogan could possibly be created from this.

So what occurred to Bethdragon over there?  She had inherited Tanka’s crown as worst-of-the-worst, IMO.  Do you assume she received Trotsky’d, or simply died from one of many many illnesses endemic to blue-haired landwhales?

Hasn’t been on-line since early July, however nonetheless listed as a mod, and no announcement. Maybe she’s simply taking a break—we all know how exhausting moderating TBP is, in spite of everything.

(I ought to in all probability cease lurking as properly. That “Open Letter to GenCon” thread has not been conducive to peace and calm, and that’s with my indifference to the conference…)

Bethdragon was a pricey on-line good friend of mine for over 20 years. We wrote collectively, gamed collectively, and visited one another. She was all the time the nicest person who I’d ever met. I used to joke that everybody cherished her besides evil folks, and even they have been ambivalent.

Somewhere alongside the way in which, one thing modified. She stopped replying to my Facebook messages for a protracted whereas, and when she lastly did, she expressed that she was “uninterested in being good”.

It actually makes me unhappy.

I’m sorry, man.  That’s unhappy to listen to, and I’m sorry she made that alternative.

Ditto.

It’s exhausting to keep in mind that irrespective of how a lot they infuriate us, the mods at RPG.web are simply folks. I occur to assume they’re individuals who have taken ideology too far on a message board (and doubtless in RL) and grow to be the issues they profess to hate, however my hope is that they arrive to their senses finally.

Because the choice is what we have got occurring now, and that sucks.

I hope BethDragon is okay.
