This is before the party indiscriminately slaughters them, right? Right?

Inclusiveness in a game where 90% of players are murder hobos, not Critical Role wannabes.

why the fuck are they so obsessed with giving personhood to goblins?

do you know how many lesser races are in D&D, practically animalistic tribes that hate all civilization and try to kill on sight?

this is still live on the actual wiki, using language now deemed verboten:



why don't these fuckers deserve personhood?



why don't these fuckers deserve personhood?

there are DOZENS of beings like this, all just waiting for you to sanitize them into sweet little Animal Crossing villagers! they all lead complex lives and have interpersonal relations and LIVED EXPERIENCES that cannot be denied! how dare adventurers colonize them??

fuck

No, see.. I should be able to play all these "monster" (Can we rename that?) species as Player Characters. I should be able to have a PERSONAL CONNECTION with them! THEY NEED TO BE HUMANIZED YOU FUCKING BIGOT!

I'm tired of always have to be understanding and always have to be emphatic and always have to give leeway to right wing and fascistic politicians. I'm tired that we always have to vote for what makes the market and capitalist happy in the hope that they give a crumb of it back to the people, I'm tired of everything being dictated by the fucking market I'm tired that my value as a human being is tied to how much profit I can make to someone else otherwise I deserve to die and starve

First the ai shit now this I'm tired of living in this hellhole of a world

Wasn’t the other option the Status Quo option? Because it sounds he would be happy if Argentina choose another flavor of nutcase as long it was political aligned to him.

I'm tired of always have to be understanding and always have to be emphatic and always have to give leeway to left wing and woke politicians. I'm tired that we always have to vote for what makes LGBT folks and white liberals happy in the hope that they give a crumb of it back to the people, I'm tired of everything being dictated by the fucking woke mob I'm tired that my value as a human being is tied to how much tolerance I can give to trans people who make not even 1% of the US population or otherwise I deserve to die and starve

I do art for a campaign with a world created for far more inclusiveness. Giving personhood to Goblins and Orcs out the gate.

What kills me is that it doesn’t even come from an honest place, but from some dude that is partially motivated of maximizing costumer reach. 

Isn’t this the shit that RE bitches about? Maximizing profit over creativity or labor?

[Boredfrom]

I supposed that is the Neoxon's dream job: grifting to a high corpo position just by bitching about social issues in mass produced media.

These are the same people who ignore their gaming companies not putting LGBT icons on their middle east twitter accounts. They know they're being pandered too and enjoy it.

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION

Argentina's most recent election has had a very depressing result simply because of how extreme Miliei is. While we can all understand why so many people in Argentina might have chosen to go for a change in direction due to their current economic woes, that does not make Miliei any less of an extremist and does not put marginalized people in Argentina in any less danger.

Understand, there is a difference between understanding the dynamics that led us here and downplaying the danger that Miliei represents. Do the latter and you will be banned and it will not be short.

No nuance allowed.

The entire Democratic Party are AIPAC funded shams tbh

People out here straight up saying the Jews control the Democratic Party. Can't believe how quickly this type of discourse has been normalized on this site.

If this kind of crap is now allowed on this site I'm going to stop coming here.

The problem is that the marginalized people were the ones that elect him. Not even a Trump situation where libs could say that it was racism and culture wars, but legit issues with their economic system.

Again, is Serpens007, a socialist from Latinoamerica, angry that Argentina didn't choose a lunatic but from his political alignment? Because I remember he was celebrating another questionable South American leaders.

Are they saying that marginalized people in Argentina weren't in danger before and wouldn't have been in danger if the capitalist, colonialist and white supremacist status quo continued?

I'm so tired.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Their literal Trump was elected and you're focusing on the lives of the voters who put him in? JFC Benji. Show empathy.

[benji]

Miliei: Alright so I want to abolish and defund some police. My dogs agree that it's a good idea.
ResetERA.com: NOT LIKE THAT
Miliei: The dogs also told me to eliminate some corporate subsidies and institutions of systemic oppression against minorities.
ResetERA.com: no no no no no
Miliei: And although I haven't checked with the dogs yet I've also been thinking about divesting from international state capital channels dominated by yts and Zionists.

He should expand the military like most Latin American leaders that Serperns probably is apologetic too.

[benji]

Maybe he could set up one of those based progressive deals with China or Russia for some mining of local assets with poor environmental records.

I'm enjoying the direction PoliEra is going. B-dubs is going to do a ban spree of PoliEra keeps kicking his "Genocide Joe BAD" puppies.

Sure, Joe Biden is actively genociding all Muslims and doing nothing about the trans genocide nor to eliminate capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy but Trump would do even more genocides AND bring about fascism forever. All members need to Vote Blue No Matter Who™ or else. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism!

Why he is supporting the Tankies anyway?  I mean, that is rhetorical question, I already know.

Is because most of his mod team and online social group are bunch of lefties and tankies wannabe, some even when it is clear that he is a centrist at heart, he still needs to pretend he doesn’t get why a lot of people are acting like anti semites in his forum.

[Boredfrom]

BTW, Nepenthe is in the Socialism thread with the hot takes that cannot share in the Lib thread.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Because if he pushes back too much they will say he's a shill for Israel and supports genocide.

I wish we could live in a country where the leading minds of SocialismEra run the government.

The funniest part about "left" ResetERA.com is how they're such self-enforced losers they can't even really talk about how much they want violence, instead it's all this UGH SOMEONE SHOULD DO VIOLENCE AND OVERTHROW ALL OF SOCIETY FOR ME cringe pussy shit where they all try to top each other while pretending to be "hard" but only the occasional lunatic moderator actually comes out and tells people to arm up and kill cis people or whatever. It's why I have more respect for people like hachikoma and Booshka, even the former's pathetic whining about how "they" wouldn't let them run for office or how "they" fired them for being unhinged in an organization full of crazy people that's still something you know.

Like this endless handwringing about their meaningless vote is vomit-inducing narcissism. Literally nobody cares. The politicos care even less, especially when you spend all your time rhetorically supporting them. Oh no, this person who devotes their life to hating Trump and Republicans and chuds on YouTube isn't going to vote for me in my safe district, whatever will I do.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Are you implying that Fj0823, whose only activism is crying about CHUDS in his comic book films, doesn't deserve your respect?

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

People are animals and selfishness is enshrined in our DNA. Hate to say it but it's simple as that.

this is not true at all. We are social beings, the whole "we're selfish" crap is not true at all and it's just reinforced by society and yeah... capitalism.

Countries with less inequality in which people help each other are going to be way less "selfish" than others because when your needs are met and you know that there is also a safety net for you, build by others, most people won't need to be "selfish". It's just about building that society, just because we will always care about ourselves before others doesn't mean that we are "selfish".

So yeah, it's not "as simple as that".

That's literally the definition of selfish. And a certain level of it isn't shameful. Obviously you are going to care for the needs of your newborn child over those of your next door neighbor. There is a certain level of inherent, programmed self interest in even the most peaceful and harmonious human societies that would be destructive to ignore or overwrite. It's imperative to our survival.

Either way, I was speaking to the alt right's(and similar societal villains) inability to expunge or control their animal nature. I completely agree with you that societies with less inequality(and less dependence on capitalism) are absolutely less likely to resort to othering and populism. Capitalism itself runs on a very warped, stacked version of the "survival of the fittest" ethos, so of course it's going to reduce some people to prey.

I shouldn't have called it simple, though. But to be fair, when I look at the types who want to upend society or accelerate its collapse at the expense of the most vulnerable I do see dangerous animals. I can't see those who went all in on Trump or stormed the US Capitol as anything but brutes who have given up their minds to their worst nature. To rephrase with a bit more nuance, I think humans can be animals in their rejection of a peaceful and equitable society. And those who choose to distance themselves from those instincts are those who drive progress.

Man.. I wish I knew where this socialist utopia is on planet Earth so we can all move there..
