quote:

“Aryan Pride” for Jesus: An Oklahoma pastor is under arrest after being caught running a prostitution ring with a white supremacist.

Pastor Walter Eugene Brazington Jr. is “being charged with procuring for prostitution and possession of a firearm while in the commission of a felony,” according to a report from Tulsa World.

The Oklahoma pastor was caught running a massage parlor that was being used as a front for a prostitution ring. His partner in crime was white supremacist Tiffany Roach, an HIV positive prostitute who calls herself “Aryan Woman” and professes to have “Whitegirl Pride.”

Brazington is listed as an apostle and prophet for the All Nations Evangelistic Team, a preaching group based in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

Look it was before the internet really existed and I was a maladjusted dork who picked up a copy of White Dwarf at quarterstaff games and thought it was totally kickass, all right? Grew out of it, nothing to concern yourself with now. *guiltily pushes 1st edition Blood Bowl boxed set out of view*

The AUDACITY! The IMPUDENCE! The unabated NERVE!
TBF, tabletop and PnP gaming seems superior to video games, partially due to flexibility and second because you must interact face to face with another human being and suffer real social consequences for being an unrepentant shitheel. I know such scenes still have awful people, but I feel like it's a money and obtuse rule barrier that ends up making them exclusive rather than inclusive. What I am saying is that capitalism ruins a superior format of gaming IMHO.

PnP gaming is better because it means not staring at the glowing screen for several consecutive minutes, all the while interacting with at least one other human being.

ok back to serious biz. here's an example of some organized IRL stalking / intimidation patriot front engages in:

https://twitter.com/thechefgoyardee/status/938250558435192833
this particular twitter account is from a neo-nazi podcaster who i think is in the houston area since he tweets a lot about local groups like the "houston goylers." the tactic seems to have gotten a pretty good reaction from the usual sources so i expect them to keep it up and also direct it towards others. i also think this represents an escalation (stalking a student at his workplace because of an article he wrote) since i haven't seen them do this before.

I'll talk to some people around town and see if we can figure out who he/she is.

2018 is gonna be real dark but there'll be wacky bright spots like when dorsey gets ousted after he accidentally retweets Weird Mike, and investigation reveals that dorsey has been protecting him and pays for his gorilla mindset seminars.

This, incidentally, will happen on the same day that prison paul gets booked on chapo and louise mensch goes on inforwars.

He pops up occasionally but he lacks the institutional, ivy-league wannabe mindset to be a James O'Keefe and the conviction to be a youtube nazi, doomed to wander a purgatory where he makes content for gamergate people circa December 2014.

Like every game played with other people, the experience can be good or bad depending upon who you play with.

I run a Shadowrun game with a great group and we have a lot of fun. I've heard tons of horror stories from other PnP RPG groups.

Playing casual Warhammer for fun is cool and good but playing against a powergaming insecure tryhard nerd isn't fun and I refuse to do it.

Yeah. I haven't played seriously in ages, but back when I did I only very rarely played against anyone I didn't personally know. Lotta rules-lawyering assholes out there, sucks the fun right out of things.

Yeah the newest edition of D&D was purposefully designed to be as regressive as possible and Mike Mearls, the head designer hired out John Tarnowski and Zak S., as consultant designers and both of those fuckers lead online communities of reactionary troglodytes that use to harass LGBT and Women designers in the medium. Hell they harass and stalk people just for designing games that aren't J"ust Like D&D Was When They Were 12." To the point that multiple PnP game creators have just dropped all online presences and left the industry, including former Goon and good lady Mikan who was serially stalked and harassed for the crimes of being a transwoman and saying maybe nerd harassment squads are bad. These two fuckers were brought on to help direct D&D which is sadly the biggest PnP game and closest to being mainstream (Even though all but 2 of its editions turbo suck as games).

The PnP industry sucks and the vast majority of people into them are hyper regressive shitheads compared to even you most Alt-right gamer loser because they're an even smaller group and way way WAAAAAAY more radicalized by their handful of figureheads.

Kill all nerds, is what I'm saying.
