[QUOTE="Wincenworks, post: 9481116, member: 7038835"] No, he's been going of from time-to-time on his Twitter. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728849474798.png"]382504[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728849988190.png"]382510[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728850017240.png"]382511[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728850950374.png"]382522[/ATTACH] He's also been working with Griff Morgan, presumably mostly about [I]Secrets of Blackmore[/I] but Griff can't help but try to complain about progressives every chance he gets. He's been having GiantLands creator, Stephen Dinehart, sucking up to him - apparently with success. But primarily what they've been jumping on is Rob's tendency to idolize Gary, etc and so rail against any criticism of their work, particularly in the modern lens. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728849622023.png"]382505[/ATTACH] And at the same time following and reposting the sentiments of people who's whole identity is being a reactionary who has chosen games as the battleground for culture wars: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728849720647.png"]382506[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728851156437.png"]382524[/ATTACH] It basically seems to have kicked off since August, almost certainly as a result of the Ben Riggs thing bringing him to the attention of reactionaries in the hobby and broader gaming space. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728849868673.png"]382507[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728849937417.png"]382509[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1728849919317.png"]382508[/ATTACH] Largely it seems to stem from a tendency to go from 0 - 100, where someone largely inconsequential will say something harsh about Gary - Rob will reply that it definitely wasn't the case in a not-great manner ("Gary never told me he was a racist, so he wasn't!") and then will go on to blame Marxism, etc for the bad take of one Internet rando.[ATTACH type="full" alt="1728850241987.png"]382512[/ATTACH] He's not like Justin LaNasa or Dave Johnson levels of reactionary, but he definitely has an undercurrent of it that is easily brought to the surface and that's made him popular with the people who desperately need a "authority" to validate their ideology - and probably making it harder for him to get mainstream support... etc etc Basically he's not that different from the infamous "older relative on Facebook" but for the fact he was part of the original TSR crew and hence has all the worst people in gaming and those who see gaming as a culture war courting him now.
