I've booted players for racism and sexism, so yeah, being a gamer is no barrier to intolerance. There are bigots in every sort of scene, subgroup, or subculture, and they have to be rooted out. Because their very presence is corrupting. If you choose to game with bigots, you run the real risk of good people being driven away. And then you're stuck with just the awful.
so yeah, finding bigotry in our community is easy. Which again, is very sad. And IMO, cannot simply be ignored because it doesn't impact me. As a while male, that would be me using my inherent privilege to ignore how others not like me are being disparately treated. So I'll call it out when I see it, and as an indie publisher who is a fan of the OSR, use my tools and resources to fight it in the OSR when I see it by working to make my products better, and more inclusive.
