I find it distasteful to say someone is bad for buying a product that harms no one. The gay-propoganda law is the logical extension of that line of thinking. And maybe its ok to be like that when you are the one with the power to decide whats ok and whats not. Maybe your judgement is so perfect and pure that none could argue.

Please don't compare somebody being rude to you on a forum to actual persecution of minorities. It's not respectful to people who genuinely live under repressive authorities.

oh right i'm sorry you're merely a-ok with the rape figurines because rape figurines are totally unobjectionable and calling people out for their tacit support of rape figurines is literal government censorship and stealing are freedumbs and calling someone a lovely person for their tacit support of rape figurines is literally identical to government-sanctioned murder of gay people

If you could post the flow chart, that would be massively helpful to me. I'm actually having to think about why I object to stuff, a guide would be helpful. But for now I guess why I object to calling people who buy rape miniatures bad people is because it kills the conversation. It doesn't change anything. You get to feel smug about having told off the person with poor taste, the person goes and buys the rape miniature and just stops talking about it. It doesn't kill demand for gross poo poo, it just makes gross poo poo more secretive.

Like if you can convince me that these stupid miniatures have a negative impact on the world citing some evidence then I would be able to use that information to better inform my purchases. As it is I live in the real world - where my buying a game that I will have no problem playing with my group is going to have no impact on the world at all.

I kind of knew what the response would be. I am also not ok with dick lions and severed lady torsos - but I am ok with the stuff in the base game. It looks neat. Also the dung beetle knight, the flower knight and the dragon. And the vomiting fuckbaby sounds like it will be worth it just for the conversation i'll get with my group.

The impact you are having is in how you are giving money to a creator who perpetuates gross poo poo. Your money will directly enable them to continue creating things that further normalize sexualized violence. You don't get to pick and choose what your money goes towards in this situation. You get it all, sorry.

Realtalk, your posts have been insanely terrible and lovely throughout this entire discussion to the point where you should honestly feel embarrassed, but if you're really ~looking to be convinced~ then the simple fact is that it doesn't matter whether you aren't okay with dicklions and severed lady torsos when the money you spend goes towards someone who's gonna go right ahead and take your patronage as a sign of approval re: dicklions and severed lady torsos. That is basically the argument, that if you genuinely disapprove of the skeezier elements of the whole Kingdom Death thing then you should either A). not give them money even for the game that's supposedly not as bad because it all goes in the same direction at the end of the day or B). just straight up say "hey I don't actually give a poo poo, bite me," but if your actual attitude really is "I don't give a gently caress what y'all think of how I spend my money, I do what I want" then you should have just said so and left it at that instead of writing a dozen increasingly bad posts comparing the people in this thread giving you poo poo to the persecution of minorities around the globe which is the sort of thing an rear end in a top hat does.

:qq::qq::qq:
Bad person chiming in again. I hate all the titty model garbage as much as anyone else. When I see people with them it honestly makes me intensely uncomfortable. If someone found one in my house I would have to kill them and then myself to hide the shame (sarcastic joke). I don't own any and never will. All that said, I think the base game and the dragon expansion they showed looked cool, so I'm going to buy it. I've played a bunch of other fantasy dungeon crawl survival types games. I really like the genre, but all of the ones I've played so far end up getting boring quick. The idea of a game combining miniature combat + city building + oregon trail + dark souls type gameplay makes me want to buy it in spite of the ultra cringe booby models. I'll throw the topless naked ladies that come with into the garbage disposal and then assemble and paint the rest. So, like I said before, I guess that makes me a bad person. That's ok though, because I was never under the illusion I wasn't.

Are you having as much fun as me?

Right - your point. I don't like gross poo poo. But I have no objection to it existing. I think most people are smart enough to know the difference between fantasy and reality. And this normalizing stuff? The main example of gross poo poo we've been talking about is the headless corpse of a naked women being used as a bookstand. The whole point of it is that it is not normal. Thats the reaction the guy wants. This is hosed up poo poo, look at it!

The dangerous stuff, if you believe art is ever dangerous (I don't) would be the pin-up models. Those are depressingly normal.

PSA but this is literally all anyone needs to say if they even feel the urge to get dragged into a loving argument over this instead of just pledging to a thing and not feeling the need to announce it to everybody. "Hey I like part of this, I guess the rest sucks and all, but I don't care because I still want that one part, oh well." Things not to do include going on a twelve-post meltdown comparing people bagging on you for funding tittyminiatures to the actual persecution of minorities in an attempt to own busybody SJWs.

Directed specifically at you, I'll once again say that disregarding anything and everything to do with tits, torsos, and dicklions, everything I've heard anybody say about the Kingdom Death boardgame is that it does not live up to the sort of fantasy that it's trying to sell you on. The boss fight system is kind of innovative but also flawed, the game is full of random pitfalls that punish you arbitrarily, and the city building aspect just isn't all that rich or deep. Like you can buy it if you want, I've got no real skin in this beyond offering up my opinion that I've heard the game itself is largely kind of boring and occasionally frustrating and kind of a big letdown for all the buildup it received, and if you're looking for a dungeon crawling fantasy game with tactical combat and some city-building elements then for $99 you can preorder Gloomhaven which has had some fairly positive pre-release covering thus far and should be coming out early next year.

I saw people play through lantern year 1 and 2 on youtube and that's what sold me on the game. It looked like exactly what I hoped it would be. As far as random bullshit killing you, I hate that stuff too. However, almost all games I've played include that to some degree. Even in some of my favorite games like Warmachine and Infinity it happens from time to time. To some extent any game that uses dice or cards to simulate events is going to have some minimal level of BS. Also, there are quite a few non titty games that people seem to love that are absolute pure RNG garbage where every decision you make is meaningless. I'm only pledged for the base game at $200. Even if it ends up being a dud the non-tits miniatures will provide some level of value. I will check out Gloomhaven.

One of the cool things about your characters dying in Kingdom Death is that it's more about building your society than it is about individually strong characters. It always sucks losing a buff character but you can just put all your gear on a fresh one as long as you don't run out of population. There are even story things like the Twilight Longsword or Kings Man armor that force a character to die sooner but make them really powerful. Some of the stuff (saviors especially) was really imbalanced but it's supposedly getting looked at in the 1.5 update which is cool.
