Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dungeonosophy" data-source="post: 8896254" data-attributes="member: 6688049">Didn't you post this exact same point in some other forum?It's kind of like the people (carnivores) who say that people who choose to be vegetarians shouldn't eat tofu that is flavored like meat. And that they should just eat lettuce, since that doesn't taste savory like meat. As if savoring an aesthetic similarity is just the same as actually, materially patronizing something which we vegetarians view to be harmful: namely, conventional industrial animal farming.What kind of abstract magical influence are you attributing to playing a game that provides the D&D experience we love (under a different name), but is not materially (monetarily) benefitting the evil untrustworthy corporation who happens to legally own the name "D&D"? Every one of the persons who canceled their D&D Beyond account (including me) more or less loves the game which happens to be called "D&D," and which happens to be owned by an insane megacorporation. Canceling and severing that bond is some kind of sacrifice. Yet it has a real, actual result, of not materially (monetarily) support the backstabbing corporatist liars at Hasbro.Are you so confused that you can't distinguish between claiming for ourselves the nourishing traditions of "D&D" (under another name: Pathfinder, Level Up, etc.), and the action of actually, monetarily patronizing a corporation which we view to be harmful?If not, that's some weird kind of confused, unreal 'perfectionism' and magical thinking.</blockquote>
