Mate, that 4e drove ppl away from dnd is a fact. Its not someone disparaging 4e or edition waring. Its simple facts.

Lotr? Dnd is tied to sword and sorcery and wargames. Thats what originally got it popular, while the early lotr rpgs floundered

I mean i definitely thing queer roleplayers played their role, but actual play IN GENERAL had a decent impact, you cant arbitrary chose a part of that and say oh thats them thats who did it. Its like me attributing all of dnds popularity to the mcelroys. Sure they had a big impact but its bizzare to say "the mcelroys…

The perfect dns movie is clearly the 13th warrior. No you can't change my mind 

“If D&D’s thematic and fictional inheritance can be traced back to a single point, we probably arrive at Tolkien.”

Dnd can be deep and philosophical, but not in the lotr way. Dnd is sword and sorcery. Its deep and introspective in examining its characters their motivation and their interactions with the monsters, most of whom have been designed to be intelligent for this exact reason

“aren’t exactly horny”

But this article is praise? 

Then its a bad translation

Its not a matter of everyone having the right to be insulted by whatever they want. Racism and stuff like this is objective ots not up to opinion, regardless of who is offering said opinion

I dont understand these comments. Why are you all acting like the writer is accusing the game of burning crosses in a white hood when the writer literally takes pains to clarify that, no the game isn’t that bad, no they aren’t saying the developers are racist etc etc. Something they dont actually hwve to do btw

I mean wearing any traditional dress as a costume is racist by default because it treats others people traditions as a costume, akin to dressing like a pirate or a bee or smth 

Cyberpunk was transphobic because it used transphobic tropes in some advertisement combined with a set of transphobic tweets. Its not up to debate whether those were transphobic, they objectively were 

Qlso this is essentially a threat for the other person to forgive you thus rendering your previous apology insincere

While you are correct high capacity long guns are also an issue. Sane gun control dissallows both and leaves only hunting rifles which are very rarely used for crimes 

I mean... Narratively meaningfull would be the last term id use to describe archer. 

It’s not about capitalism specifically. 40 years ago things weren’t like this. Once upon a time you could go to college by working in the summer in america . TheIcountry wasn't not capitalist then. In Japan this is both a cultural issue and a result of specific shitty government policies for the last 2 to 3 decades

I mean i don’t see how it couldn’t. You have a vulnerable woman being convinced out of an abortion by bogus info by an anti choice protestor, and this isnt chided or framed as abusive or taking advantage of someone . That legitimises their movement and normalises the act of doing that. Firmly anti choice in this…

Any work of art is by itself a political argument. There is no such thing as apolitical art

Gane is bad if you can’t wear funny hat
