If you consider rubbish like this a valid resource for parenting, don’t.  Really beneath Lifehacker.

I was expecting stuff like:

Here's one: stop writing foolish articles that will make kids more messed up than before. 

Uggghhhh I like really, really hated this. There are more holes in these arguments than Swiss cheese.

So being introverted is not a trait? Might want to rethink that.

Not sure if we’re still arguing the “Tiger mom” or Helicopter Parent theories with these slides?

Looks like they had HVAC guys do the sheetmetal work:

“Or it’s a space full of people who feel like they need to ride to the rescue of millionaire entertainers when someone makes the least criticism of them.”

I had never heard of Critical Role before this story. I’ve watched one episode of Vox Machina. I could scarcely care less about these people, their game, fame, or…

Uhh... you’ve clearly never played D&D if you think they can just add more people to a game that already has eight main members.

I grew up in Iowa so I only roleplay corn, soy and pork farmers.

So people should only roleplay in settings that match their culture and characters of their own race. Got it. Cool, cool, cool, excellent.

For some people, there is no solution, the outrage is the point. And for a lot of others, there is no solution other than “Erase yourself, because white people have had the spotlight for too long. Stop creating, so non-white people can be more represented.”

You’re one of two people in this entire comment section that is blatantly okay with this horseshit “article”. Maybe step back and realize if you and one or two other people are trying to “call out” an entire comment section, maybe you’re the one with the bad take? This isn’t appropriation, this is major league, cringe…

I get that, I just wanted to +1 the commentor’s feelings that were so easily dismissed by “you’ve never even been here anyways.”

There’s every chance that (especially with the ‘cracker’ post you mentioned) that person was just rabble-rousing and in bad faith themselves. But as a more regular commentor, I fully felt…

okay, well what about me then? Because that was my reaction as well, and I’ve sure as shit made more than three comments.

This is getting absolutely absurd. I’m a diehard leftist, and every single of these knee jerk reactionary articles makes us all look bad. This is exactly what the right wingers in our country think…

It also implies that non-white people are, unlike white people, deeply knowledgeable about and involved in the cultures of their origins.  That just seems like self-serving nonsense.  I have no reason to think that a person who is Vietnamese has a deeper knowledge of Vietnamese history and culture than a person who is…

Ah yes, the semi-annual hyperventilating article about how a group of real-life friends who started streaming their hobby should replace half of their friend group with random people to meet a diversity quota, and how white people are forbidden from exploring anything except “Generic European” cultures even when they…

You said it yourself - this might be a cynical, bad faith interpretation. That right there is an admission that you know there’s probably a perfectly reasonable counter-argument that you conveniently omitted from your article in an effort to steer the narrative one way: the click generating, socially inflaming way.

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.

This is the article that will cause me to finally unsubscribe from Kotaku. What an absolute load of shit.
