[QUOTE="Consonant Dude, post: 5947946, member: 6688791"] I am the poster you are referring too (post [URL=http://www.enworld.org/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=67]#67[/URL] ). I'm sorry, but the idea that the whole hobby is not "serving one kind" (those were Tanith's words) would be preposterous. The hobby is large, comprised of fans, professionals, different products, game shops, etc... and there's no active attempt to prevent people from a specific race, color, creed, gender to participate. It's there for anyone to pick what they like, thus my comment that if you don't like what's on the menu, you pick another group, RPG, etc... It should be said that one of the most amazing aspect of tabletop roleplaying is how empowering it is for the end user. Especially in the internet age, there's just no excuse. You can pick up from a variety of games (even some generic ones which are absolutely 100% gender neutral), make up your storie and adventures, form a group of like-minded individuals to roleplay with. What you're saying is different from Tanith. You're saying the hobby doesn't make you feel welcome. I can empathize with that but that's a rather vague statement. There are crappy games and hobby shops out there. And yeah, it makes me cringe when I hear certain stories about creepy gamers (those stories happen to guys too, you know). But there's tons of great games. And tons of ways to personalize this experience even more. You can play any kind of adventures you want. There are hobby shops that are respectful. And most of all, there's tons of cool people playing those games or just waiting for someone to show them how to play. So, I can sympathize that you're not feeling welcome but I can't really empathize. Because the issues you speak of, I just don't see them as far as the hobby is concerned. There's already been plenty of girls and women at my table. But really, I couldn't care less whether the people I play with have a penis or a vagina. I just want to be with cool people and for all of us to have a great time. And that's what happens in our case. None of that stuff about not serving one's kind. [/QUOTE]
