[QUOTE="Libertad, post: 8331059, member: 6750502"] As an FYI that RPG (and blog) was made by Melan, a person who seems to have a history of making transphobic statements. [url=https://twitter.com/yungdumbitch/status/1397399026585141253/photo/1]Here's one where he's responding to a poster comparing social progressivism and civil rights movements to Communism. Melan's making a joke about people on Twitter coming after the poster for not respecting pronouns, and said poster is not by any stretch pro-Communist.[/url] [url=https://tenfootpole.org/ironspike/?p=7159]Here's the original source. You have to scroll down in the comments a bit to find it. One of them complains about a "socialist utopia" and then makes a bash against respectful pronoun usage as being the result of such a society.[/url] He also intentionally deadnamed a transgender game designer. [url=https://ibb.co/42vGMSF]In 2011 he was aware of her transition and wished her well.[/url] [url=https://beyondfomalhaut.blogspot.com/2018/07/review-orcs-in-taroduns-tomb-2018-vs.html]But in this 2018 blogpost he referred to her deadname repeatedly[/url] One could argue in this last part that perhaps he forgot in 7 years, but combined with the initial statement I linked it's clear that this person doesn't respect transgender and nonbinary people. Maybe the RPG is good, but like I said of Blue Rose's "PC culture gone mad" critics I'd rather not give bigoted gamers the time of day anymore. Well, City of Brass excepted, but that was a more critical review of a product that for the most part received nothing but praise elsewhere. (Also as an aside I'd like to mention that being pro-LGBT and Communist aren't exactly one and the same; in fact, a lot of Communist countries have been pretty socially conservative, some even going so far as to claim that homosexuality was invented by Westerners in a lab or that the top leadership of the Nazis were secretly gay).
