As the Woke incursion into our hobby weakens, we need to reemphasize that RPGs are for "anyone", but not "everyone".

Remember, when they say "Everyone", it's not an attempt at expansionism, it's Doublespeak dehumanisation of everyone they don't consider Diverse, under the auspices of Inclusion.

@nicholasrova3698 13 дней назад

Yes. Commies gonna commie. It's easier and more strategically sound to just never trust them. They're either well aware of what they're doing and are therefore manipulative liars, or are useful tools working in the name of the collectivist ideology without even knowing because they've bought the surface lie that progressivism is 'good' and 'on the right side of history.'

@RPGPundit 13 дней назад

Yes, that's correct. But as I pointed out on the video, it's also not an attempt at expanding the hobby, it's an attempt at invoking large numbers of people that you can claim to represent who DO NOT PLAY and WILL NEVER PLAY; and you don't actually care if they play. Wokists don't really give a crap about D&D, and therefore don't really want a billion black lesbian women playing D&D, they just want to claim that they SPEAK FOR the black lesbians.

The things with hobbies is that they just are; there are players, creators, merchants, advertisers, etc. The thing with communities is that there are "leaders". Leaders have to have followers to represent. So by assigning a community to a hobby, it sets up the possibility of becoming a leader and taking control of it. It always amazes me when people say that they represent the " community" which seems to be spread across a whole country, or even the world - the members of which are very likely to have quite different concerns.

@RPGPundit 12 дней назад

Yes. But furthermore, the people making that claim of "fighting for" people who don't even play D&D do not actually care at all about those people. They're only invoking their name to capture virtue and gain more influence for their own ideological agenda.

I joke that Jesus harshly condemned LGBTQ (and gave cautious approval to supply-side economics). But he only told ONE apostle. During the Gift of Tongues, that apostle got Southern American English, a language which was not going to exist until another 1700 years. But the preachers found his writings and loved it and knew it was the word of God, although the verse that LGBTQ would attract hurricanes was only speculative, then and now...

@Jaseoffire 13 дней назад

I actually generally agree. Now, I kind of lump RPGs in with the rest of gaming in general these days, but that's because I'm a mad tinkerer who loves taking a little from column a through z, throwing them into a pot, and seeing what comes out. Story games, war games, rpgs, CRPGs, other computer games, throw it all in a pot and make something of it. Interestingly, I never thought of including computer games into the mix until I attended a panel on historical war gaming and asked them about mechanical differences between them and things like Warhammer. Origins was kind of enlightening. Still wouldn't play a convention RPG, though. Well, probably at least no more than once. Stories have too high of a risk of getting political. And I use the term story loosely here, as in life would qualify, yes.

@WonkoSane-jf4qm 12 дней назад

Well said, sir! Look, if you sit down at my table to play, all I ask is you play the game? If I'm running Call of Cthulhu in 1935 south Florida and you chose to play a black, lesbian character, yep, I'm going to have at least SOME level of realistic racism in the game. No, I don't have to hyper focus on it, but it should be there to some degree? Play the game! Another point I would make about modern D&D. I ran Waterdeep: Dragonheist and I made sure I read through all the factions to see how I could use them all to at least some degree. While reading through Bregan D'aerthe, I saw an entry talking about a drow female to male trans character hiding within the organization. Now, yeah, why would any drow female who is already on top of their society CHOSE to be a male? But, putting that aside, perhaps "he" is there to infiltrate the group for "his" House? No, the text makes it clear that "he" wasn't sent there as a plot, but, rather 'he" fled because of "his" genuine desire to transition. Ok, this still is intriguing. Does Jarlaxle know? If so, since he is ever the opportunist, how would he use that to his advantage? In the text, no, he doesn't know. So, "he's" just there, yep, for WoTC to be able to say they have trans npc's in the game for inclusion. If I were including such an npc, I would, as I have already indicated, have a plot hook for the pc's? They discover "him" somehow and "he" begs the pc's to not inform on "him" to Jarlaxle because "he" would be kicked out and either killed by Bregan or "his" House! Do the PC's agree to keep the secret? Do they keep the secret in exchange for insider information? Instead, WoTC just throws into the module with no plot hooks at all....again, just to be able to throw up the "TRANS" when questioned about it.

I think I understand what you're saying, but that's a bit of a different topic. You can (and should!) have standards of who you want to play with, but you can still agree that people you don't personally want to play with still have the freedom to play (just not with you) if they are interested in the game. Anyone interested in and willing to actually play the game is part of the hobby. No one who doesn't is.

@@RPGPundit well of course. It's just that I put my experience to use and have learned from it.

And this is even before seeing that some play with an agenda, these were pure technical reasons that are skipped. I have had people around who own game stores, who made campaign settings for sale and such. Good people with whom you can play the game without any hassle but they went on to do different things.

You seem like such a well informed guy, but do you really not see the correlation between an inclusive space and getting more people into the hobby? Art is a small step in trying to get new people (especially kids) on board isn't it? I'm a white guy so I've never had this problem of course lol, but I have to assume if you never see someone who resembles yourself in a hobby space (especially fantasy, as D&D traffics in) you just kind of internalize that it isn't for you and you never end up trying it.

@boobah5643 12 дней назад

You'll have to explain why 'getting more people into the hobby' is a superior goal to 'maintaining the hobby's existence.' Seems that the former rather requires the latter. Nor does the hobby have some divine requirement for numbers to go up. Not that there's any evidence that tearing apart a hobby in pursuit of an ideal actually brings more people into the now-mangled hobby. It sure alienates the existing hobbyists, though. And, as a sidenote, I've never felt excluded from a piece of entertainment because the characters don't look like me. Somehow, I soldiered on through shows that were obviously excluding me, such as _Cardcaptor Sakura_ or _Madoka Magicka._ Heck, or _Avatar, the Last Airbender_ if you're paying attention; the four ethnicities in the show are basically Tibetan, Inuit, Japanese, and Chinese.

@RPGPundit 12 дней назад

As a Latino, I assure you that's nonsense. There's no special need for "representation". Not for any normal person, anyways. There's an interest, you find it cool; like a white guy might find basketball cool, and wouldn't get turned off from it just because all the players are black. It's not some kind of society or community, that's a leftist lie. It's a hobby, a thing you do, with people. There's nothing special about skin color that would affect you doing that thing in any way. Inclusion was ALWAYS a lie. Latino gamers do not want to play games where orcs are mexicans or the PCs go on a quest to cook arepas. They want to play in the Lord of Rings, or Game of Thrones, or King Arthur, or just Greyhawk. The point is they like all the same things any other gamer likes.
