[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8330635, member: 15700"] It goes back to what we were just saying. They are so used to be the only ones represented, that they don't know how to handle it. And they personalize every criticism. "They said that old D&D has problematic issues! See, they are saying [B]WE [/B]are bigots because we like that game!" No man, no one is saying you automatically are a bigot for liking a game. [B][I]I [/I][/B]love the game too, and I don't think I'm calling myself a bigot. If you defend bigotry, however, well, then... Marginalized groups have been lumped into negative stereotypes and assumptions their whole lives, so they have a better way of putting things into proper context. However, these guys are so used to being the only ones catered to, that any criticism of something they like they act like it's a personal insult to [I]them[/I]. There's no context or perspective there. They ironically call others snowflakes while taking offense at literally everything. And I get it. I was there in my younger days. The entire playbook is to portray things like progressives are attacking [I]you[/I], rather than the situation or scenario. Because that makes them the aggressor, and you the victim, which justifies an equal response. Of course, when you step back and actually look at the facts, none of that is true. No one is calling for Ernie to be banned forever. No one is driving away white men from the hobby. It's all nonsense strawmen meant to confirm your bias that everyone is out to oppress you, despite the fact that you are [I]still [/I]in the overwhelming majority of representation in the game.
