Halloween Jack posted:They actually mention Ramzan Kadyrov by name. That's not nearly nuclear enough for nuWW and far too fun-sounding to focus on. Like how that playtest set in Berlin talked about an inexplicable pack of near-nude Spartans partying in a nightclub for a bit but preferred to rub its hands eagerly at child soldiers, crazed drug-addicts, and pedophile-coded vampire PCs.

I mean, yeah queer people are getting murdered, and yeah they do hate them so much that they'll punish it even when no one's watching--" Between that and the phrasing "homosexuals" they're not even keeping up a pretense here. That very much is the point, assholes.

Wrestlepig posted:There’s just so many pedophiles When you're dealing with a fictional monster that's tied so overtly to sex, sexuality, and sexual assault, it's kind of inevitable that some painfully uncreative idiot will try to get as close to crossing this line as they can while smirking. Unfortunately this time, at least a few of these people are heading the development of the new-old WoD.

Ratoslov posted:Aren't vampires the gayest of all supernatural monsters? Tough competition! For real. The vampire as we know it was basically standardized by Bram Stoker, and in Dracula he was an incarnation of the fear of foreign sexuality, so there's a good case for it. But monsters in general tend up end up as queer metaphors, whether the person creating them intends or not, because that's what you get when you write something designed to be hated and shunned by society. (See also: "have you tried not being a mutant.") In particular, it's all but nonexistent to see a nonbinary character who isn't also a weird demon or alien or whatever, because people think genderlessness is a sign of inhumanity. MTG is great for this; its semi-prominent nonbinary characters are two, completely unrelated, smoky-headed magical humanoids.

Do you remember when Marvel made mutant AIDS and said there'd be no cure for mutant AIDS until there was a cure for real AIDS and then it turned out real AIDS is really hard to cure so they walked that back super hard.

Ghost Leviathan posted:IIRC the main writer of Beast was a literal rapist. Yes, it was unrelated to Beast, and came to light after Beast was already done and (I think) most of the strech goal supplements were out. Someone came forward on RPGnet about it, because Matthew McFarlaind was still a mod there at the time. There were a couple days of relative silence from the rest of the mod staff while they mulled it over privately/came here and whined about how mean we were being, and at least one of them talked about how it was years ago and the Matt they knew nowadays wouldn't do that so it's a weighty choice they have to make. Then they demodded and banned him. And before anyone Kramers over to reply to this: I'm not implying that we're somehow morally superior on this forum, either, when like half of the times when a mod is booted for equal or lesser offenses, basically the same uncomfortable quiet dithering happens before the other shoe drops. Forums aren't great for addressing real-world crimes or general even general dickery done by people who post on them, I guess.

Just got back from my brother's wedding. I thought the reading would be at the altar. I thought to he only gave me it to practice. That was a little embarrassing. But apparently my brother like that because it took the tension away. I'm drunk as a skunk right now. How is everyone else doing? I had like entire glass of rum on rocks and then like four rum and cokes. You know my brother-in-law said that of course I was drinking rum because I was Puerto Rican? What a jerk lol!

Honestly, the worst bit was when you were trying to jump in front of all the bullets, but them posting here defensively when it would've been better to just stay quiet on all fronts until the ban hit wasn't great.

As much as I like Shadowrun, nobody should use the rules in 4th or 5th edition for anything. The setting is okay, if a little self-contradictory at times, but the system is just terrible. See why the HBS people didn't even try to use it for their PC games.
