I mean much broader actions are to be expected against people he sees as enemies, but no, this is not an actual issue he cares about and is just part of the larger culture war BS. He does not give a damn about this book or Gygax beyond from how it can be leveraged to radicalize more people.

That's how I do it!

The quote in the OP suggest it was also to shame table that got to high levels. "Oh, Odin is only level 40. What a sham it is for you to be level 45' and all that.

Cybertronians are either 1) mechanical organisms and not AI or 2) actual general AIs and not hyped up autocorrect doomed to die of source degradation depending on the versions. None of them are remotely related to the garbage we've been pedaled over the past few years.

In case anyone is thinking Musk's outrage is based on the idea that being called a misogynist (indirectly) is a grave insult suggesting the person doing is a monster and thus terrible... or that he believes in free speech in any way: Musk 'offered' to impregnate an pop star unsolicited for...

Ah. "Only asking questions." Haven't seen that before.

You argued that he was a product of his time, the same argument that's being used as a defense. Your justification, much like that one is irrelevant. It's a thing you did. Maybe you aren't intending to defend him. Maybe you're genuinely curious as to whether Gary was a product of his time and...

Just argued the central point used to defend him just constantly.

Or maybe you need to read the rest of the thread to see what 'product of his time' is actually being used for.

Roll your eyes all you want, but this is not the kind of discussion that benefits from playing at devil's advocate.

Yeah, as close as I've ever seen 'facilitator' being to 'boss' has been in the sense of 'person who gets the ball rolling and keeps the ball rolling'. It's the boss who usually brings someone in the facilitate, not doing the facilitating themselves.

But providing vapid justifications in the form of 'product of his time' and 'social pressure' is still okay though, right?

B-but that's how all the Free Speech Men keep using it!

You don't meet bigotry halfway. They're not going to agree to put you only halfway back into the kitchen, the closet or in chains.
