TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

In the story that will never end, after having this week turned itself into Wonderfilled, Inc, and deleted its Twitter account, TSR is BACK AGAIN! Like again, again, again, again. Complete with old-school logo! And Michael appears to actually exist!

Michael K. Hovermale says in a press release that an unnamed individual (I’m guessing Stephen Dinehart) apparently ran all the social media accounts for TSR, Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum, Ernie Gygax, Justin LaNasa, and Giantlands. He goes on to say that this person has been replaced, and that all posts on those social media accounts are "invalid". There's no mention of Stephen Dinehart's social media accounts though.

Dinehart has left TSR3, taking Giantlands with him. Given that Star Frontiers mentions have been quietly removed a week or so ago, that would leave TSR3.5 without any roleplaying game products, as far as I can tell.

The existing (TSR3} website still says it's WONDERFILED (sic), Inc. However there’s now a NEW one at TSR Hobbies. We’ll call that TSR3.5 for now. I’m struggling to distinguish TSRs from tribbles at this point. They just keep on coming!

TSR - TSR3 Throws In Towel, Rebrands Wonderfilled

FIFTH TSR INCOMING!!!

Reminds me of the time I was driving down the street and saw a sign for D&D Auto Repair. Had to do a double-take.

 

[J.Quondam]

What level spell is that?

First level. Do you think anyone at TSR3 would be capable of anything higher-level?

Right, of course not. They've shown time and again on Twitter just how bad they are at spelling.

 

[Charlaquin]

While “zero” may be hyperbolic overstatement, my understanding is that TERFs, despite their intolerance, are largely left wing, and probably mostly female. The others are rlargely males on the right.

The intersections between these group will be slivers if not singular points.

I don’t think that’s an accurate perception, but there isn’t really more we can discuss on the matter here.

 

[Sacrosanct]

Remember that image next to the intelligence ability description in the 1e PHB? The one with the smart wizard and the one wearing a dunce cap? I think we know which one are these guys.

Nnnnnnnnoooooooo... no. Nope.

Most TERFs are on the right. They tend to hold a few left-wing ideals close at heart (Specifically those related to equal pay for women, family leave rather than maternity leave, and an end to the pink tax) but they sit down at the table with the farthest right they can reach.

Take J.K. Rowling, for instance. She holds to a few left-side ideals, but for the most part supports the right wing because they agree with her Terfiness.

Terfs in the US are -massively- more likely to sit down with Marjorie Taylor Green than Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, even if AOC supports more of their overall platform as regards women's rights, because they're almost all One-Issue peeps.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I stand corrected!

 

[Mistwell]

I zero in the on the Mistwell: "but that doesn't make this stuff important...."

Bigotry off the beaten path is still a problem.

Yes it is but that's not the thing I was saying was not important. And in case there was any doubt, I clarified that later.

.

That’s not correct. She holds more than a few left-side ideals. The whole issue of her views on transgender women has done more to alter perceptions than any of her other political views which have been solidly liberal.

Liberalism isn't left. It's at the centre; it's just that the right-wing in the USA is so far to the right that the liberals seem far-left in comparison, and so liberal=left seems to have entered the American vernacular. Outside of the USA, left is usually taken to mean communists, anarchists, democratic socialists, etc.

The farthest to the left that Rowling could conceivably be is somewhere around Tony Blair, which isn't very left.

I have no idea how much traction TERFs in the USA have, as I never seem to hear about them, but the ones in the UK are way too eager to play nice with the Tories. I think a few of them have even sat down with out and out fascists. There was that "hyena of the Gestapo" thing on Twitter a week ago...
