theironjef posted:Banned is a strong word here. GenCon spoke out against them, and then when pressed said they don't have a booth and aren't running any events. Not that they can't, just that they don't. They said they would deny them if they applied for a booth. I mean....is that not a ban?

D&D historical titan Rob Kuntz tries to defend Ernie Gygax in a less than stellar way. I could make a bingo card of right-wing catchphrases out of this one.

Maxwell Lord posted:Yeah First Wave Feminism was literally the suffrage movement. It's recent enough that Kuntz could and probably would have grown up with a bunch of First Wave veterans as part of his parents-generation and grandparents-generation. However, he'd have come of age during in the middle of the Second Wave. Now the Second Wave is fraught and complicated and few people respect it unconditionally, but it's really not much of a thing to say you respect the First Wave. You'd have to be a hardcore misogynist to say otherwise. gradenko_2000 posted:with every day that this news cycle goes on we get closer and closer to someone rediscovering

Can't imagine Lee Gold would have let that horrible Dragon article go unanswered. Samuel Edward Konkin III in Alarums & Excursions #19, according to Jon Peterson. There’s also a poem by one Kay Jones: A verse for Len Lakofka, who’s earned the name of nerd, For rules changes both chauvinist and patently absurd, And Kask, the man who published it, why earn your way to fame, By publicly insulting all the players of your game?

Yeah, it's really just baffling at this point. They're doing their damndest to alienate anyone and everyone who could conceivably give a poo poo about who owns the TSR brand. Just actively trying to squander any possible goodwill towards anything they might release. Digging a hole and climbing out of the hole and throwing a grenade in the hole and jumping on it, to own the libs.

My favorite thing about this phase is that no matter how lovely that apology is, it's still an apology so now he's gonna eat poo poo from all the chuds they've been singing to for the past few days. I bet he's already had one angry phone call from LaNasa.

What's funny is like, six days ago you have a smaller youtuber basically saying this was a complete sham: quote:These guys aren't going to be creating anything. Their schtick is to contact existing creators, and offer the opportunity to put the trademark on their already existing product for a premium. I've seen the IMs/ emails. They got nothing, and over the last few days they've managed to turn themselves into a dumpster fire. Attacking Luke Gygax, threatening FB groups with lawsuits that have TSR in their name, and more. Nothing more will be coming from this channel on them. Isn't this literally how Donald Trump did business for years? Just take a product and put "TRUMP" on the front?

True. But hard as it is to believe now, for most of that time he was not aggressively focused on eliciting the hatred of as many people as possible while cultivating a fandom among the scum of the earth.

My first learning of DJT was learning about him through reading my friend's dad's old Bloom County comics and I dont know how accurate those were for depicting culture at large but Berkley at the least did not like mr Trump. I know he used to pay money to get his name in and on poo poo, forever ruining things like Elon Musk Edit: this is actually how I learned that the hollywood walk of fame is pay-to-play, and not a sign that you've made it like every single movie about becoming a successful actor would make you think TheDiceMustRoll fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Jun 30, 2021 |
