[QUOTE="Teo Twawki, post: 8711929, member: 7033305"] As a friend of mine says, [I]I don't have a dog in this hunt[/I]. They also say: [I]How you do Anything is how you do Everything[/I]. Which I personally argue against but believe to be true. Of the several dozen rpgs I have played or run, none of them have been any variation of D&D. I first heard of Stone & Satine a couple months ago when a tattoo artist we know pointed out the twitter thread from nerdytattooer. I admit, I went on a internet binge for an hour or so, reading about Stone's condescension and ultimately, his false-apology/blame-everything-but-himself facebook post. Stone's casual excuse that his (alleged) CPTSD for his outbursts is an additional offense to his many intentional public faults. He sounds like a drunk driver facing court for his injurious accident and saying, "It wasn't me, you honor, it was my alcoholism!" Or South Park's version of Alec Baldwin saying he's not a racist, but his thumbs are when he gets on twitter. I completely grok that everybody has a different level of what constitutes trauma and stress disorders for them. Some people claim stress from seeing a word about something unpleasant. Other people experience the worst humanity has to offer and get on with their lives without using that experience as absolution from personal responsibility. Both can be traumatic, but they certainly different in [I]why[/I] they are traumatic. And it is easy to see without looking too far that far less people actually have traumatic disabilities than the amount who publicly claim to have them. And those who genuinely do are, in my years of experience with such matters, usually [B]not[/B] the ones who try to use trauma as a proverbial Get Out Of Jail Free card when they are called to account for their actions. Stone Jamison comes off in his public statement as a privileged, whiney little <insert appropriate malignancy here> who got caught being a repeated and detestable sluice puddle of excrement who uses his own actions as the inflicted trauma on his otherwise soft and easy life. And now he's upset because that methodology worked well for him for years. Until recently. Will Stone and Satine learn from this? Maybe. We can hope so. But this isn't suddenly-acquired behavior. It's well-assimilated into their daily interactions and personalities. So I wouldn't wager even the value of an internet opinion* on them learning a damn thing from it. Except how to hide it better when they try it again. My *two pennies, anyway. Might be worth that at some exchange rate. [/QUOTE]
