I won't sugar coat this... we're in serious trouble. If we don't meet tonight's fundraising deadline, we won't be able to afford to change the nuclear codes. We can't let Trump and his ULTRA MAGA allies hand those codes over to Putin! Can we we count on YOU to chip in $27 today?

This is very overgenerous. I actually think worse of that guy than most other D&D folks largely because they've done so much handwringing over the years and consistently chose the wrong side despite it all.

I have a significantly more positive view towards the folks who just get really mad at the leftists constantly, because those people at least have convictions (and are usually pretty oblivious and just earnestly believe in the general mainstream liberal view of the two US political parties). The people who are fully aware of what people like us think and try to justify their loyal partisanship as somehow advancing "socialism/leftism" are far slimier IMO

For me, I can kinda sympathize with the handwringers because I was one for so long, and I can empathize with the ones who are hyper-aggro like CommieGIR, but what annoys me are the people who just look down on people and act too good to even interact with them because they're mods. The shittiest mods are to me the ones who can't even show up to a mod feedback thread but keep jamming the probate button.

look, D+D has had at least one mod paid for their willingness to murder anyone they're told on behalf of the US government for years now. koos has been moving them off it slowly, and patiently.

now we just have a guy who thinks they're all acceptable sacrifices to defeat the russians, a guy who says the holocaust didn't happen and that monkeypox is a disease of the gays, and a guy who volunteered to say "they're not concentration camps when a democrat does them, also people are just pretending to care about rape."

its called 'harm reduction' and it is the cornerstone of modern liberal politics

in fairness the republican ones are usually like that too, that's an abnormally bright and happy one

the average republican voter on the email list was assured that if they didn't give their life savings to Trump the communists were going to turn their kids gay and their businesses transgender about six times a day, frequently by organizations thoroughly unrelated to the Trump campaign

I think the thing that is the most telling is the fact that the reaction to Jack Allison making that post that just objectively proved how language suddenly switched from "concentration camps" to "intake facilities" was to privately complain to mods and get them to crack down on the succ zone thread. Even when I still believed dumb things, I wouldn't have done something like that - the whole reason my views changed in the first place was due to accumulating dissonance from them.

Also, that guy absolutely looks down on people. His whole thing is whining about "people going after their posting enemies" (which is an amusing bit of projection given stuff like the above). Part of the reason why I can guarantee their views won't change is that a not-insignificant reason they hold them is simple spite towards people like us and a firm unwillingness to ever give ground. You see this in stuff like the whole Tara Reade situation - he believed people were only bringing it up in bad faith as a "gotcha" against their posting enemies. The unwillingness to actually believe that opposing views are held in earnest precludes ever learning from or adopting them.

The people who get really angry are ironically more likely to someday change their minds, because their anger is usually the result of "believing that our views are bad," as opposed to "believing that we're lying about having those views in the first place."

Something about being a D&D mod ruins your brain. GJB definitely got worse over time, and they all turned insanely conspiratorial, especially Main Painframe who absolutely lost his whole mind and has never regained it. I've had lovely interactions with him through pms, I've had okay ones. I just know that he's at least approached me about stuff, and that's better than some. I don't think any Dem apologist has known how to square Reade and Biden, and it's ruined all their minds and morality and you can still see that to this day where they go out to defend this lovely climate bill like they so desperately, desperately want to believe in Biden again. That's like thinking Trump is finally going to have a presidential moment if he's given a chance again. I don't know. My point is, Koos is loving around, not some great defense for the morality of D&D mods as a whole. I would think my steadfast refusal to post in D&D anymore should give my opinion on that.

That's just what happens when you become a mod, you can see it with some iks as well. The way they post completely changes, and i'm sure that is on another level with politics brained people.

MPF is the also the same person who completely unprompted said if given a choice between killing gay people and communists, would kill all the communists.
