Moving the goal posts. We're talking about tabletop gaming. This article is about tabletop gaming, and the linked post that everyone is so upset about has "tabletop gaming" right in the topic. Just because there's proof of intended violence and criminal activity that doesn't fit the narrative...

Saying harassment isn't welcome isn't the same as saying that anyone "owns" the hobby. Strawman.

Provably wrong. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/boston-cops-prevent-pokemon-tournament-shooting-plot-article-1.2334956

I don't know. I know that she was active in a number of fandoms and convention scenes.

If anyone is interested, there are a number of charity bundles at the DriveThru sites to benefit RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/8877/RAINN

Not to mention designers like Lee Gold who started up the first RPG APA, and then went on to design games for FGU and SJG. (That's a lot of acronyms.)

Um. No.

There's honestly no situation where a rape joke is appropriate.

I don't think anyone who disagrees with me is evil. I think that people who come into these conversations and attempt to derail them, and who think that calling people something as dumb as "social justice warrior," are on the wrong side of history. I think people who abuse and harass anyone are...

We're going to have to agree to disagree.

I have been on the internet, in some form or another, since 1987. I know how to act towards trolls online. There is a misunderstanding in a lot of people's minds that this is a "discussion" with "sides." The thing is, that's not the case. There's people who are behaving horribly, and those who...

There is no discourse with dishonest people. They are only interested in lobbing insults (or at least what they think are insults), and derailing the conversation.

LOL You mean the Tumblr post that was shared to most of the internet? Yeah, way to be paranoid buddy.

HAHAHAHAHA *takes a breath* HAHAHAHAHAHA

I hate to break it to people in this thread, but any "culture war" has been fought out and is over. D&D talks openly about inclusiveness in the book. Pathfinder has iconics that are transgender. The world has moved on from the attitudes of the past and is firmly in the 21st century. The genie is...

HAHAHAHAHA

Like I said in my post, my first DM (back in 1979) was a woman. With a couple of exceptions over the 35+ years that I've been gaming, all of the groups that I have been a part of have had women (a lot of them were half or more). I am always amazed when I find all-male groups, and I wonder why...

"Be the change you want to see."

What anyone can do it help is to be public and say that you are against harassment. Tell your friends it isn't cool. Report it when you see it happening.
