[QUOTE="Juxtapozbliss, post: 9540805, member: 7042149"] i do owe you an apology assuming that you were familiar with the topic. Morrus discussed it on the EN World Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk podcast on November 22, Episode 696. And this is the huge thread about the topic that garnered much conversation: [URL="https://www.enworld.org/threads/elon-musk-calls-for-wizards-of-the-coast-to-burn-in-hell-over-making-of-original-d-d-passages.708087/"]Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages[/URL] There are quite a few people that find it newsworthy that the richest man in the world threatened WotC because he didn't like sexism being evaluated in the history of D&D. I would strongly be in favor of TTRPG companies being discussed for their "strongly worded modern world opinion statements on their company websites." I'm unaware of those statements, but I would be happy for them to be brought to the surface. Musk also asked "how much" WotC would cost and considering he bought Twitter triggered by a similar offhand comment, it's no idle threat. He might not act on it, but I would say it's something that can effect the hobby, which makes it newsworthy. Even for those who don't want politics brought up in TTRPG discussions, the sexism brought up in the intro to the history of D&D is actually stuff from the rules. It's literal game content. So even by conservative standards, I think it's relevant to evaluate where the hobby started and where it is today. Here is an interesting article on Rascal News about the "No politics" view of TTRPG: [URL="https://www.rascal.news/no-politics-is-always-a-red-flag-even-when-defending-your-tabletop-business/"]“No Politics” is always a red flag, even when defending your tabletop business[/URL] [/QUOTE]
