Other than a little bit of AD&D in grade school, my first experience was playing 2e in the 90s with a group that thought it was great fun for my character to be brutally and graphically raped. That was the kind of experience some women had with TTRPGs back then, and if we didn’t want to put up with that then we obviously didn’t like these games <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🙄" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" title="Face with rolling eyes    :rolling_eyes:" data-shortname=":rolling_eyes:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />That’s the kind of thing “keepgamingfantasy” means for some people: Rape, attacking marginalized groups, satisfying their power thirst. Back then, gaming allowed them to be the gross human beings they wanted to be IRL. And now they resent being told to make gaming inclusive because their fantasies come unraveled when they have to include everyone as equals.We’ve seen plenty of comments from these gross people during the TSR mess, and yet no one from this “old school” circle has called them out. The acceptance of these people just shows how sick the whole “old school” mentality is. Sure a lot of it is about nostalgia, but making the game more inclusive today isn’t an insult to anyone’s childhood memories.</blockquote>
