Bill Webb was mentioned upthread; if you look at the postings on a certain prominent OSR website about his harassment incident, you'll find outright hatred toward Webb's accuser and statements like "Feminism is a plague". That's a verbatim quote. And I'm not even talking about that one infamous OSR site which has extreme reactionary views and relishes being offensive, I'm referring to a much more mainstream one. People like that infect our hobby. They might be a minority, but they're a loud one. And I'm not sure they're actually a minority, sadly.The good news is that the tide is turning. Many of the most problematic of the original OSR designers are irrelevant or bankrupt at this point, while people like Kelsey Dionne are ushering in a new tide of diffently-minded players and writers. But that's not to say the problem has been completely solved.</blockquote>
