As expected. Sad, really.

Always eager to call others cowards, but they can't face Truth coming out of her well, actually...

@Professor Murder it is a great painting and title!

I'm just sad no one caught (or at least commented upon) my "Well, actually" joke. >.>

NuTSR has gone into full denial mode. This was cross-posted on their TSR-Hobbies, DHSM, and TSR Con FB pages:

I kinda feel like forcing them to admit this exists is a positive step. They refused to acknowledge the existence of nohateingaming.com and just deleted all references to it. This is finally starting to stick. Small wins are still wins.

Meanwhile, Ernie is posting updates about Phoenix Con II. His head still seems firmly in the sand. Jeff Leason remains silent as always. Sad to note that Leason's FB had a number of posts about "Teach Juneteenth". I guess he's willing to preach to the masses but not in his own back yard.

The contents of his document appear to line up pretty well perfectly with the material in Dave Johnson's Alarms and Journeys 13. The Timeline, for example, is practically spot on with only a few minor corrections between the two documents, changes an editor might make to tweak grammar or correct for specific events. Further, Alarms and Journeys 13 also includes the Nordic aliens as an idealized and technologically advanced superior species, a 'human purity' movement which bans the use of cybernetics which are generally portrayed in media as prosthetics, and presents only a two female characters across all 16 pages as a "Barbarian Queen" archetype in the middle of a Space Age society and the wife of someone important whose inclusion breaks the 'these three people rose to power' clause that introduces her, unless a husband and wife count as a single person.

Combine his personally published writing with his past postings on his various social media (that have since been deleted) and this document and it all forms a continuous and unbroken line of (bigoted) reasoning. You're telling us that his past writings and his present writings, as they're being presented to us, are fake, but offer no alternative other than "It's Shopped". Why should we take your word for this rather than comparing the information that has been presented, including his own work by his own direct publication, that it's all fake?

It should also be noted, just to get it out there: The document on Tenkar's and Jedion's video were presented as a scrollable PDF which is not something you can photoshop in real-time. It's also not something you would photoshop. A true font-based PDF would be directly editable in a text-based manner, but in Dave Johnson's favored method the PDF Tenkar and Jedion has access to is a string of image files. Which explains why his signature is physically on the document, scanned in most likely from a photocopier. Shopping such a PDF would require breaking out the component images, editing the individual images, and then recompiling them into a new PDF... it would also require both Tenkar and Jedion to have access to the REAL Beta Test document to edit in the first place.

But given that it also lines up with political statements and intentionally inflammatory material posted here and on the TSR Hobbies Facebook and Twitter... why should we believe you that it is fake?

Like, sure, I get it. Sometimes you have to have faith that people are being honest and decent. But this has been going on for literal years, now, and over and over again we're seeing the same crass and bigoted material from every angle. Over and Over again you say it is fake, lies, shopped, whatever. But faith in people has a breaking point. For Justin it might've been the Grits Wrestling or the skipping out on his vape business's taxes. (Both of which are matters of record). But people still have some faith in the Gygax name.

Do you have, perhaps, the real version of the Star Frontiers beta test document you can reveal as refutation to prove, once and for all, that this is just libelous fiction? Not only would it end all debate, it would get the playtest into a lot more hands and allows you to solicit feedback from a much larger crowd than is on the Discord.

So why not do it? Why not release the Beta Version to the public so everyone can easily see that you're being attacked by libelous and slanderous sources? Fear of piracy, I assume. Except that this is a beta document, subject to change, and not the final version, which will no doubt include art, additional materials, and so forth. So it costs you nothing, in the end, compared to the final product.

Are you worried people will steal your IP and make their own works? Don't be. Federal Law protects you from that and allows you to sue in a civil manner for all profits gained from any such IP Infringement. They'd literally be making money for you!

So what's it going to be, guys? You have the power to prove it is fake, here and now, and end the "Attacks" long before you go to court with WotC. And proving it is fake can't harm that case unless you're using WotC's IP in your real beta document.

Double down on faith in the face of continually mounting evidence in the hope no one calls your bluff, or show your hand and sweep the table?

That... is -new- Nazi BS from white supremacists in the US chugging milk to show they have lactose tolerance and anyone without lactose tolerance isn't a "Real" American because their ancestry comes from a part of the world where drinking milk from another animal wasn't crucial to human survival. (Mostly northern Europe. You know. Nordic peoples.)

Oh, sure. Racists have been using milk's whiteness and "Purity" as a symbol for decades on end. But this angle? Pretty new rhetoric to play on modern scientific understanding to try and support their racist BS.

It's why "Weak Men" are "Soy Boys" or "Soy Cucks". Because they can't drink milk without discomfort, gas, and the runs.
