WotC Some Rich Dude Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" and I Refuse to Care

[Epic Meepo]

This post isn't a jab at folks who are discussing the news item alluded to in the thread title. I just wanted to comment on the story without posting in a thread that inadvertently publicizes the rich dude in question.

If you're not familiar with the news item I'm referencing, it's essentially a loud rich dude talking smack about the publishers of D&D. My response: I'm tired of attention-seeking billoinaires dictating the news cycle, so I'm tuning out their commentary on my hobby. I encourage everyone else to do the same. I think we'll all be better off for it.

So, anyway... I hear BlueSky is pretty cool, right? I'm told some publishers have accounts there. Feel free to discuss that or any other RPG talk unrelated to rich dudes if you, too, refuse to care about rich dudes' opinions.

Gee, when I don't care about something I just don't say anything about it. Seems to save time.

I hear tell that a certain game creator is/was sexist.

For many people being semi-famous for anything (in this case, being rich, but he could also be the producer of the world's spiciest chili) makes one interesting. Singers are often asked their opinion on world's conflict, even if they don't have expertise, or even basic interest, in diplomacy. A president's wife is asked what she thinks about a judicial process (in a country where there is no "first lady" thing and who the president is sleeping with is strictly a private matter), epidemiologists developping a vaccine are asked their opinion about the economic consequences of an epidemic... billionaires say they don't like orange juice and everyone is discussing their opinion. Often people lend credence to other people for very strange reasons.

It would be interesting to see if a thread titled "Wendy Doe, realtor in AZ, tells wizard to burn in hell after her dog choked on a DMG" would reach 140 pages.

It's nice to know you care about my post.

It depends. Is Wendy Doe's dog Internet famous?

I had forgotten that you can be a dog and have 10.2 millions instagram followers (I actually googled the number). For the record, Gandhi, Mozart and Michelangelo had none.

so you opened a second thread because the first one was too busy, like a second line in a supermarket…
