[QUOTE="Cam Banks, post: 7659355, member: 3817"] I'm actually a Social Justice Hexblade. I'm reposting here what I tweeted this morning after last night's back-and-forth on Twitter regarding this: My position on this is as follows. First, I apologize for contributing to any marginalization of women who work hard to produce D&D books. Second, I think that the visibility or lack thereof of women working on producing RPGs in general is a real problem & part of the culture. Third, I believe RPG markets & their audience unfairly weight designers and writers over editors, directors, graphic designers, & managers. Fourth, I believe we do need more women designing, creating, and writing games, and we should promote them & give them opportunity. Lastly, it isn't my place nor anyone else's to rate, prioritize, rank, or otherwise place value on the contributions of women in their work. If it matters to "anti-SJW" people, this is by and large the majority opinion among the game designers and professionals that I know of, and is certainly the opinion of most folks at WotC, Paizo, Onyx Path, and so on. I can only speak for myself that the constant use of social justice as a pejorative insult against those who are trying to create a more inclusive hobby is not a persuasive argument. Carry on! Cheers, Cam [/QUOTE]
