Today, we're talking about Armor Class... but first, let's discuss the lack of diversity among the straight, white, male, rape-culture, terrorist roleplayers.
Why?!? Why does this always fucking happen these days?
I'm referring to the interjection of racism, sexism, inclusiveness, forced community welcoming, protection from the threat of possible harassment, and a bunch of other stuff.
It's politics. Why are politics always worming their filthy way into our gaming? I want to be free of it.
A few years ago, "No politics" meant not overly praising or bashing the President or talking about gun control or immigration. Now, it's everywhere, affecting everything, and there seems to be no escape.
This seemingly innocuous post by James Raggi started off good and then got bogged down in the same bullshit that happens when more than 3 people are together.
At this point, I equally blame the Alt-Right (stop egging the SJWs on, baiting them, and calling them totalitarians) and Ctrl-Left for their mutual failure to leave their politics at the fucking door! It's gotten so bad that, like, 20% of all RPG discussion needs to be removed like a cancerous tumor.
From now on, unless I'm taking part in a political discussion, I'm going to ignore the stuff I can safely and easily ignore; everything else I'll respond with NP,P. Even if that's questioning why so many OSR people harass minorities or wear a Nazi armband or prefer ascending armor class.
Those who've seen the inaugural episode of our RPG talk show, Inappropriate Characters, know that I'm a centrist who prefers to keep gaming talk about gaming, when possible (new episode taping later this week)...
Thanks for listening and hope you all had a good Memorial Day,
VS
