Maybe because even in a piece supposedly speaking against how people quickly take against the woman speaking for no evidenced reason but their own personal biases you still found the time to write the following:

This is such a weird take. Reggie’s opinion is that “Maybe we should sell stuff that people like and want to buy?” And your opinion is that the fact that it was weird and dumb was cool, actually? I’m normally 1000% anti-CEO, but... nah he’s correct.
If they had made it a normal size with a backlit screen I would have been all over it, but I have giant hands, and even the SP was really uncomfortable after about 10 minutes. I stuck with my normal advance with a light attachment.
it’s these kinds of bad faith takes, that the right are using to discredit/shame/ruin positive forces of good, such as the allies within critical role.
they have constantly listened to both queer and poc audiences. they have tried to bring on more diverse voices onto their show. At their core though they were just a…
Brilliant assessment! Glad I’m not the only one who saw the author’s hand-wringing over the success of the show and its creators.
“It is no longer just a group of friends. It was never just a game.”
Just 2 days ago Kotaku sister site AVClub took pleasure in piling on an Asian woman for speaking with a ‘blaccent.’ Everyone is starting to get splattered with this shit now.
I understand people’s reticence to this, especially if you belong to the cultures this particular fantasy-inspired campaign exists in, but if your example boils down to them wearing some costumes in a silly promo piece that explorers used to wear, then that’s... not a lot.
So no matter how sensitive or respectful they might be, white people should never explore anything outside of their own culture and heritage? It is WILD how the far left is swinging all the way back around to the idea that segregation might be a good idea
This crap makes me wish D&D would go back to being something we all just kinda did in secret with our friends and the greater population shunned it.
That pretty much somes up 99% of the “outrage” reported by the news thjese days. Its a handful of people on Twitter bitching.
Maybe they thought that dressing up in traditional attire of cultures that aren’t their own as white people would’ve been 10x worse.
No one is ‘so mad’, it’s just like 20 people on Twitter. I’ve seen just as many people be happy to be represented and feel seen by the campaign.
In the end...it really is just Dungeons and Dragons. It has inspirations from other cultures...sure. It also has dragons and talking robots and people who can shoot fire from their hands. Why doesn’t the author make the same complaint of Wizards of the Coast themselves?
So....a solution? Sounds like you don’t want them to explore these cultural identifiers and the explorer-genre tropes. Should half the cast be fired and people you find “approved” be playing this game?
“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”
Even a basic cloth face mask is better than no face mask at all, and in this pandemic, this is a hell of a way to help.
Counter: Missed go-ahead kicks in the final seconds of games are indeed the reason why games are lost. Because you see, if the kick had been made, they’d have won.
Sure, still, fuck the Yankees though.
