Misread.

Actually it seems like every so often someone comes a long and tries to make the argument that he did nothing wrong.

Green orcs as a thing in a fictional setting were first introduced by Warhammer (where they spell "Ork" with a K). And later made popular by Warcraft. So they're actually kinda new in regards to D&D.

Ahh yes, making things less sexist is the real sexism.. :rolleyes:

Also, where do you get the gall to get mad about Thaco the Clown being some sort of insulting dog-whistle, while defending Gary Gygax's very explicit statement as some kind of sarcasm joke?

Yes, I'm familiar with how stupid the anti-woke 40k crowd is. When he wasn't harassing people, or encouraging others to do so, I had the pleasure of watching Marshal Terfhamond say that he can't be homophobic because he was gay many many times (because we all apparently forgot Milo Yiannopoulos...

Someone tried, you and others dismissed it as Gygax being sarcastic. You also randomly included a twitter post from a person who is complaining about female space marines and wokeness, and said that Gary was right to say that he knew better about what women wanted than actual women or feminists.

I love how we're both-sidesing sexism in this thread.

You sound like a Musk fanboy, acting like anyone would surprised by the fact that cars full of flammable liquid catch fire more often than Electric Vehicles.

It was a bit of both. He memed his way into buying it, but when he couldn't worm his way out of the sale, he needed to give people a reason to lend him the money for the purchase. Which wasn't really hard to do, since it was the largest social media platform in the world and a lot of people...

Someone already been pointed out, the company can just start issuing the stock they've been sitting on to stop such a tactic from succeeding. If they did that, for the scenario you suggest to succeed Musk would have to liquidate up to 30 billion of his assets (assuming he bought 50%+1 of the 600...

The difference is that noone is going to pool billions of dollars in a coalition of investors to buy Hasbro because Elon had a fit over D&D. Because Twitter lets those people have control over world-wide speech. He's not going to find anyone willing to help him scrape together 16 billion for...

What you're saying is the company is only valuable because he literally bought his way into the inner-circle of the president. Not because he's actually good at business or anything. And certainly not because they make good trucks. Dogecoin has also gone up in value for the first time in ages...

Also, the Hyperloop was something he created to kill a subway project, because he hates mass transit. Since "tunnels with cars in them" is hardly the best method for getting around mars.

Maybe not, but I suspect the valuation of the company doesn't include those IP's and is more derived from material and financial assets. On top of that, as one of the world's largest toy companies, Hasbro has a gross earnings of 3 billion during a bad year, and 4 billion or more during a good...
