[QUOTE="Keefe the Thief, post: 7473139, member: 49552"] There was a guy who got into a D&D game I DMed. A walking cliché. Slightly overweight, a little challenged by personal hygiene, skipped school and proud of it, self-centered, more in love with his character than with the campaign. No problem for me - there was a time where 50% of the roleplayers I met had some of those traits. Who am I to judge people? He was a good roleplayer and he liked the campaign. It started getting worrysome when he always came in and started smalltalk with how he "owned SJWs on the internet" again and told me the newest Gamergate nonsense. I mean, it went "Hello! How are you! I won an internet fight five minutes ago!" Actively recruiting among the group for his little band of brothers rolling around the internet to convince people that women were ruining movies, gaming etc. A "forced diversity ruined Mass Effect" dude. Full in on Comicsgate - you know, that movement attacking the new She-Ra for being not boobieliscious enough, organizing a boycott of Muppet Babies because adding a new female character is "forced diversity". The full package. Human garbage. And then the straw that broke the camels back: he always was half an hour early. ALWAYS. Even when we explicitly told him "look, we are just coming home before the game, we NEED that 30 minutes!" Not a chance. "I'm always early". I just couldn't believe it. Booting him felt really great. And now we live in a time where D&D is booming and most of my campaign consists of 20-somethings who saw Critical Role and wanted to try that game out. Casuals, the lot of them. Live's good. EDIT: Oh, and he didn't react. Sent him a mail that I wasn't thinking that he is a good fit for the group. Didn't react, never saw him again. [/QUOTE]
