I don't either, but if the plumber I called showed up with a Holocaust denying bumper sticker on his truck, I'd tell him to GTFO, and not use his services or let him in my home.

Disagree. Ostracizing them keeps their numbers low. Sure, they are reduced to a hard core. But the increase in hate crimes now that racists are openly spreading their views, and in positions of power, is not a coincidence. Keep 'em on the fringe. They belong in the shadows, hiding like roaches.

I understand what you're saying, but I think a) that consequences are one of the best teachers, and b) it isn't up to society to change these peoples' beliefs, anyway. Society needs to protect itself and each other from these beliefs.

Sorry if I misinterpreted you. I was also speaking in a broader sense, not just about your post, but apologies.

Possibly true, but rescuing hateful people ain't my job. As a recovering addict, I'm pretty big on the idea of taking personal responsibility for one's own shortcomings. I'm also big on the idea of helping people... who want help. The idea that bigots need to be platformed, convinced, saved...

"We're not giving money to nazis, we're just paying their bills."

They had/have as much opportunity as anyone else. 1) the opportunity to change is always there, they need to be the ones to do it. It's an inside job. 2) Consequences are still one of the best teachers.

Unless there is some contractual obligation to repay backers, this "commitment" is worthless. And, since Goodman has stated that CSIO was in the works prior to the Judges Guild racism brouhaha, it's possible, if not likely, that any contracts were done a long time go, and do not include any such...

It was more like, I called the Bledsaws anti-semites, he said, "Your saying it doesn't make it true." I then quoted the Facebook post. Shortly after that, the exchange was gone. I assumed he'd deleted his reply, and mine with it. But who knows?

The full statement:

So, it seems like they are dancing around the question of working with bigots, and hoping their letting the Bledsaws off the hook for ripping off Kickstarter backers will make it OK? Wild, considering the Bledsaws have already reneged on one similar arrangement with Frog God.

Aaron recently tried to tell me (he was directly responding to me) in the comments of a since-removed Facebook post that the Bledsaws weren't anti-semitic. I posted this in response: Besides, Bledsaw II is still the owner of Judges Guild. Who cares what Aaron's views are? Nazis will still profit.

The wildest part of this is the timeline means that GG was working with Judges Guild while Jennell Jaquays was still alive.

Spread the word everywhere you can. My FLGS with the "Protect Trans Kids" sticker in the window is probably not gonna like this.

Like it or not, there is a distressingly large contingent of old-school gamers for whom this will not be a problem.

Worth noting that neither of the younger Bledsaws have stopped posting racism or Holocaust denial, either, so it's not like this is a case where they showed any remorse or willingness to improve themselves. They're still actively making the hobby (and the world) a worse place.

Yes. It's under the Gamelords tab on the left.
