yeah it seems with a certain crowd the argument, when you say anything is... why so triggered man or some variation.
Yeah. When the point is to mock people, rather than have well-considered thoughts on matters, that'll happen.

Why would dogwhistling be any exception?Dangit. Now you have me wondering if they are just inept at dogwistling.
Green Ronin had Abaddon as a demon lord earlier with 3.5 Book of Fiends and its 3.0 demon only precursor Armies of the Abyss.Abaddon has been introduced into the FRPG lexicon by Paizo.
It's not that anyone actually cares about NuTSR. It's more like morbid fascination, like watching a car wreck. Or a grits-wrestling match.Imagine wasting a single calorie of energy thinking about what NuTSR does/thinks. Couldn't be me.
It does seem like that. Obsessing over the odd word on the module. No one can criticize the use of the word Abaddon. Lots of our DND ( and other game) lore is based on a fantastic version of ye olde stuff. Please don't make them bad wordsIt's not that anyone actually cares about NuTSR.

How about creating EnWorld Annual Razzies awards?![]()
This. Especially since nothing I've seen from them so far leads me to believe that they could even be that subtle. These guys aren't the brightest bulbs and have been pretty heavy handed and direct in their posts, interviews, tweets, etc. I'd say that I'm reserving judgment until I see the product, but as I'm never going to purchase it, I doubt I'll ever see it.On the topic of anti-Semitic dog whistles, none of the hypothesized topics are particularly strong. Red Hand cult could just as easily be inspired by the Red Hand of Ulster as anything Jewish. Abaddon has been introduced into the FRPG lexicon by Paizo. And poisoning the well is widespread enough to make it into a Toy Story reference as well as a broadly-used metaphor.
I understand that dog whistles are not supposed to be obvious, but that can also serve to get the conspiracy theories spinning to the point you see them whether there or not. The Morrus reference is the least obscure so go ENWorld! ...I guess.
I keep seeing evidence that I have chosen a poor user name for this board.Ducks are notoriously anti-semitic
At least you didn't go with HowardI keep seeing evidence that I have chosen a poor user name for this board.
We'll add this to the heap of facepalms sitting over there, shall we?

They are kind of sad people, glad I'm not like them. The thread title makes me think of a Carpenter's son
Red Hand Cult could be just because it sounds cool and come on, when WOTC did Red Hand of Doom was it anti-Semitic dog whistling?On the topic of anti-Semitic dog whistles, none of the hypothesized topics are particularly strong.
