The RPG community is just as racist, sexist, homophobic as the general population is. In some cases even MORE because of how niche and insular it is. This hobby being overwhelmingly white and male for a very long time can be problematic for those of us who ARENT. My gaming group of the last five years comprises of two black males (myself and another) one white female and two white males. I dont game with them because of oreintation and or race. I still game with them because theyre GOOD PEOPLE. But the problem is that in my experience? Getting a group like this is FEW and FAR BETWEEN. I've experienced seen the poor behavior from gamers for decades. Ranging from the inability to actually show up for games, to homophobic/sexist/racist comments during play to just outright sociopathic behavior. Gamers are NOT good/decent people because theyre gamers. They're PEOPLE. Just like everyone else.</blockquote>
