Message: <blockquote data-quote="DammitVictor" data-source="post: 8029888" data-attributes="member: 6750908">Fundamentally, if you wish to be inclusive, if you wish to open for everyone... you do not have the option of being tolerant of people who disagree with you. If you allow people who disagree that "WARHAMMER IS FOR EVERYONE" to be part of WARHAMMER, then they will drive everyone else-- people of color, gays and lesbians, the disabled-- out, because that's their goal.There are certain things a person has to agree to in order to be included as part of a welcoming community. Otherwise, their ideology makes the community unwelcoming for others. People can't stop being black or gay or disabled to make bigots accept them-- literally, all the bigots have to do to be welcomed back is shut their goddamned mouths. They don't even have to change their minds and believe that the other people at the table with them are real people-- they just have to shut their mouths and keep their politics to themselves, like they're demanding everyone else do for them, for a few hours at a time.And yes, that's what we are talking about: if you don't agree that your game of choice belongs to everyone, if you are morally opposed to gaming fandoms being inclusive of members of minority communities, you are a bigot and your opinions are bigotry and grownups shouldn't have to keep making excuses to mollify your fragile, bloated ego.If you're fighting for people's God-given right to mistreat other people at the gaming table and complaining that they will not be missed: you will not be missed.</blockquote>
