[QUOTE="DDNFan, post: 6313887, member: 6776483"] No, he compared his gaming preferences getting mocked (presumably for non-OSR games), to being persecuted based on his race by white supremacists. That is a whole other level of "you need to get out of your parent's basement if you think people having different gaming biases than you is in any way similar to you being discriminated against". That shows a fragile ego, and a complete lack of perspective on what real discrimination feels like. Having your game dissed doesn't count, sorry. It's posts like these where I'm frankly ashamed to be a part of any gaming community. Get out of this forum. Live more, read more, talk to people, experience life a bit. People not liking 4th edition doesn't make them similar [U]in any way[/U] to white supremacists persecuting you. It's high time somebody called out such outrageous absurdity. It's a level of abstraction from reality that can only be accounted for by being coddled by a cadre of dittoheads isolated and living in a bubble. I'm not even an OSR gamer, and I feel it's slander. And before anyone dares call my response to his edition warring, let me remind you, I did [B]not [/B]compare 4vengers to white supremacists. I was called a [I][U]terrorist [/U][/I]on the Wotc forums for not liking a particular game rule and wanting it removed, it's up to the mods here at this website to show they are any better by deleting that vile slander. If 4vengers can call others white supremacists, or compare them to that, without any repercussions, that betrays a complete double standard. One which I've never seen OSR gamers use in any post on Facebook, G+ or anywhere else. They usually simply say, "I hate 4th edition, it sux. Anything later than 2e/3e is dumb". That's the extent of it. To then take that to this forum and slander the entire community like that, in such a backhanded fashion, must be responded to. Stop it. Immediately. [/QUOTE]
