The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Sometimes it seems like no one hates D&D more than D&D fans.

But then I remember the Satanic Panic.

So I guess there is one group that hates D&D more than D&D fans.

The Venn diagram overlap between Star Wars fandom behaviour and DnD fandom behaviour is often very discouraging.

Wait... If I'm level 50, shouldn't I have more feats?

Or at least more treasure?

That was WBL was for! Too bad they dropped it.

I think it's fandom in general. Whether you're discussing love of a band, or a sports team, or a part of nerd culture- the innate tribalism that is part of being a fan happens to be close to a constellation of behaviors that are toxic.

That's not to excuse the behavior- far from it. I think some fandoms do a better job of self-policing. But any time you need to get validation from a source outside of yourself, there's a great potential for things to turn nasty, quickly.

TROGLODYTE TUESDAY HAS ARRIVED ONCE AGAIN!

I think "Troglodyte Tuesday" is my new word for Election Day in the US.
For those for whom it's relevant, remember to vote today!

For a second I thought I'd posted in the wrong thread! Oh wait, this is always the wrong thread. .. or is it always the right one?

Yes.

My hatred for pineapple is a comic bit. I figure if I do it enough it’ll start to get funny. Yea, that’s planned.

Poor planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part.

It's less funny when the obstetrician says it.
