Which only ever came into existence because it became fashionable to take the models of the honorable, nice, if weird and unpredictable space elves and decorate them like evil mean space elves. Dark Eldar were my favorite race but I just couldn't help but cringe because they were literally fan fiction that became canon.

How the hell can you be old enough to remember when I Love Lucy was airing for the first time and still get the quote wrong? It's "you got some explaining to do" not "a lot of explaining" iirc from being 5 at my grandma's.

Were this a first offense I might have some defense. There are a million ways to do I Love Lucy cosplay that don't require black face or Brown face

Edit to be clear, I mean a defense of ignorance could possibly be raised. However, she is a public figure with people around her who should know better at this point. I did not mean defend as in it was ok.

They tend to go after poor, desperate people clinging for something - anything at all - that will help them be less poor and desperate. That or bored stay at home moms that want some extra cash. There are people that just want so, so bad to get out of their situation that they'll grasp at the slimmest hope. Which is why MLM is scummy as hell. They know they're scamming people that probably can't afford to be scammed. They also tend to target people that just flat out aren't that bright.

As one of the aforementioned poor, desperate people who spent many recent months using Craigslist while job-hunting without a car, CL is chock-a-block full of MLM scams. 99% I could recognize right off the bat, but I feel bad for other, less savvy people in this poo poo economy (I live in a city second only to Detroit in unemployment rates) who fall for them, when a simple Google search would tip them off. :smith:

Paula Deen seems like the sort of "innocent" who-me racist that would defend the decision by talking about how Desi wasn't white and she was just trying to accurately capture his image, seemingly unaware that blackface is never excusable. The same sort of racist my grandmother from a generation prior was, using Porch-Monkey in casual conversation, unaware somehow that it was a terrible thing to say because "we always used that word." Then we'd all get mad at her.

PDFs? Yeah, they exist. Of course, like regular game manuals, they're expensive as well. There are fan revisions available as well as fanmade extensions. I know someone made a superhero expansion for the White Wolf system.

I worked at a sign shop and I refused to work on the Holocaust denial banner that our city's nationally-famous white supremacist blogger commissioned from us. My fundamentalist Christian coworkers did it and I later lost my job, but I have no regrets

That's why you use the time-honored practice of bidding. If it's something you don't feel like doing, bid it at a price point where they'll either say no, or the extra money will make it worth your time and/or suppression of your moral outrage.

If a guy wants a big swastika, bid 4x your normal rate and then donate half to a Jewish charity.

You can kinda do that. You kinda have to judge how much money this person is willing to spend and then punch it into the computer and there is a +/-% button that you can secretly press. If someone is being an rear end, or you can tell will be super picky and reject anything you make for the smallest flaw, just Jack up the price until they go bother someone else.
