    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    2022 can't be the CSIO timing, because according to Goodman himself, that was already pending in 2020. The context of the sentence is making it pretty clear that the 2022 date is referring to ending the proceeds going to royalty and the money going to JG instead (because 'it was time for the...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    They denied any plans to do further work with JG back in 2020, and then said this was pending all the way back then, so...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    You're right in that the phrasing probably isn't doing me any favors, but the point is just because Bledsaw is a frothing bigot doesn't automatically translate to him being a liar. People are weird and complex. Right now we have more proof of Goodman being dishonest than Bledsaw, so...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    The thing about Bledsaw is that he's said a lot of horrible naughty word, consistently. Just because you're a bigot doesn't mean you're a liar, and that Facebook post certainly sounded like someone who's living their truth. Their awful, small-minded, nasty truth. On the other hand, we've all directly...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Why are you assuming GG is telling the truth about JG not making any money on the project? People willing to do business with Nazis are just as likely to lie as the Nazis are. Probably more likely, in fact, because they're trying to play both sides.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    'We're going to try really hard not to make enough money that we have to pay some to Judge's Guild' is not the kind of promise I'm looking for, here.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Goodman is legitimizing JG by partnering with them for this product. Goodman is saying that what Bledshaw said is not enough to keep them from being a part of the community. This is creating a support structure for Bledshaw to continue to say bigoted things without feeling like he will face...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    No idea, it surprised me too, but I couldn't find a setting for it. May just be a board thing and I need to modulate.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    I also want to stress my game store example is not some theoretical exercise. I have several women friends who flat out won't set foot in one of the game stores in town because when they previously have, several of the regulars were sitting around making awful misogynistic jokes and one of the...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    You are absolutely not looking at this objectively. If a minority person walks into a game store, and overhears someone saying hateful things about them, they are going to feel less safe, because someone who says hateful things might do hateful things. If they go to the store owner, and express...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    It's still putting money in Bledshaw's pocket. It's still saying 'we want your company as part of our community, even though it hurts minorities'. Bledshaw will profit from this. There's no way from Bledshaw to not profit from this unless they don't make the product. This is a luxury good, a...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Legitimizing bigots as welcome in the community is harm. That's what buying products from Bledshaw does. You might not think it's harmful, but several minority posters in this thread have directly disagreed with that, and they know better.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    This isn't threading the needle. There's no multiple degrees of separation here. Judge's Guild is directly owned by the bigot in question. Goodman Games was aware enough of their awful views 5 years ago to swear off working with them. Bledshaw has made no efforts in the community to apologize or...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    We don't have to forgive them while they haven't done anything to make amends yet. The first step belongs to the party that has wronged others, and Goodman Games is doing something wrong, regardless of how many excuses you make for them. Maybe some people won't ever forgive them, but that's...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    If someone is willing to give a Nazi money purely because they want a luxury item, then they've opened themselves up to judgement. They may not be a bigot themselves, but they're willing to fund them, and they've decided that their leisure activity is more important than making a stand for...
