You’re ever the optimist, because (based on wholly anecdotal evidence, yet gleaned from decades of going to cons and playing in FLGSes) the people who support Bledsaw’s views are a huuuge part of the community, cyber-bloviators or not.

I’ll kindly pass, as I can’t perceive any of your “nuances” that distinguish from my interpretation.

So, after all your posts on subject, am I correct that your ultimate parsed take is: “It’s bad… but not that bad. And folks that are upset should just be… less so.” Is that accurate?

Gotcha. It’s just a matter of scale: really awful optics versus really, Really, REALLY awful optics; accordingly, should only involve a smidgen (iota? micron?) of fair condemnation versus all that wild-n-wooly unfair condemnation that has the mob all addlepated. Whew. Glad to be set straigh!

Is your entire stance predicated on semantics? Does saying “Joe Goodman seemingly has no problem working with Christian-nationalistic, trans- / homophobic, white-supremacist bigots (even after he said years ago he wouldn’t)…. but at least they’re not Nazis™️!” fix it? Seems like you’re...

Rest assured, we played tactically and sensibly before getting slaughtered by the basilisk. But our “couple rounds of combat” ended up in total failures on our end, whopping successes on the big bad’s end, and everything incidental that could go wrong going wrong. The surviving two (outta...

“Baby, I didn’t lie saying I’d never cheat on you back in 2020—I simply changed my mind when I did so in 2022!!! Why ya mad?!!!”

I’ve never used a laptop / desktop at the Real Life gaming table, and can’t fathom how people (particularly GMs) do it successfully. Juggling tabs and windows and apps and charts—no matter how well hyperlinked—is just as time consuming as flipping through a rulebook marked with post-its. And...

My gripe is I want my tabletop games to be as tech-free-while-playing as possible. Players with their phones are bad enough. Going to a site I’ve mever heard of, and then never use once I have, just to get a book that’s only available in an inconvenient format drives me bonkers.

No, definitely. OG General Ursus and his troops were gorillas. OG Zaius was an orangutan. OG Zira, Cornelius, and Caesar were chimps. The masks all had different structures, textures, hairstyles, and colors to distinguish ‘em. Granted, as the franchise progressed (and budgets shrank), they...
