Get Woke Go Broke
Sometimes, that brokeness isn't money, but something intangible... like character, respect, or not being a ridiculous laughingstock.
Kiel "problematic" Chenier may be the latest self-flagellating woke-soldier hip-deep in culture war bullshit, grovelling before the other intolerant leftists, but somehow his failure is more delicious than usual. Perhaps it's something in the chocolate?
This is Kiel's apologetic post. It's so cringe that you just have to read it for yourself. I'm sure the social justice circle-jerk is ready to accept their soiled dove. "So brave and beautiful."
Kiel appeared on my radar years ago when I asked him to review The Islands of Purple-Haunted Putrescence. He's one of the few gamers who didn't like it.
Then a bit later, he agreed to review Alpha Blue, but then decided not to follow-through because it was too hetero-normative and sexist or some stupid bullshit (yes, hetero-phobia is real). Yeah, I know. I'm not allowed to love boobies because I'm a straight white male (actually, za'akier).
This is one of the many reasons why I have zero time for the ENnies. It's a reflection of the near constant revisionism based on identity politics, virtue signaling, and victim-ology. The ENnies are like the "woke awards", and in my humble opinion, those same radical leftists are trying to ruin this hobby... and the USA.
Privilege does exist. However, the privilege we have to worry about is entitled first-world busybody saviors and would-be authoritarians with more activism than brains, throwing themselves into perpetual revolution because they're bored, because they are too free, because their lives are too easy. Deep down, they know they'd actually be more or less satisfied with everything... if not for the gaping void of meaninglessness inside, exposed for all to see.
I desperately hope that November's election is not only a referendum on the Socialist "utopia" ideology ending with the death of freedom and millions of people, but also gamers who believe in being offended on behalf of everybody else, cancel culture, and the destruction of traditional / old-school RPGs.

p.s. That's why I didn't submit Cha'alt for the ENnies. But you can still get a luxurious hardcover book of your very own. Ordering details here!

ReplyDeleteI wonder how gamers are split on this wokeness issue. Critical Role has made D&D trendy. Though they mostly keep their politics out of it, the show may have brought in a lot more of the SWJ crowd into the hobby. Certainly Paizo has been editorially running that sort of narrative for years. Whether or not Pathfinder players have felt the same way is questionable.
