Are we an RPG Discussion website or a Free Speech website?

[mondblut]

So, here's a better deal: you go back to GD and stay out of gaming threads with this shit

If games stop having this shit, so will gaming threads. Don't shoot the messengers, shoot the scum who push it upon us.

Have you even played anything that was released after 1986? Just curious.

I wish I didn't.

I'm exercising my right to free speech apparently that's what more than half the users want. That is explicitly NOT a hivemind, right?

Yes; no. I'll keep replying to your retarded opinions though.

So, here's a better deal: you go back to GD and stay out of gaming threads with this shit (yes, I'm aware this is site feedback and not a gaming thread).

We're way past the stage where ignoring them is a plausible solution to anyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the last 6 years. Whether you like it or not. You took a side as well, pushing that "gender identity" nonsense. You want politics, just the ones you already agree with.

You defend that guy running for office specifically because he's a tranny. You wouldn't defend him if he wasn't a deviant.

There's a difference between a substantive interest and the harassing and persecuting others.

Yeah, when they do it to us it is persecution and terrorism and when we do it to them the public has a right to know. It's just like how often we leftist have to remind them that big business has a right to do whatever they want with their private property and they are too stupid to understand it. Why have the nazi fascists forgotten their liberal values and freeze peaches that we also don't believe in? Talk about hypocrites. There is no way an intersectional transperxon running for office is of interest to the public and trying to promote violent speech and hate of a protected group is illegal and harassment. An open and shut case without a doubt.

I'm amazed you're able to stay awake when you're this boring and predictable. Or are you just a bot running a script? I can never tell with you guys.

Oh well, enjoy your circlejerk, boys.

Imagine being educated dumb and not able to think outside your playpen. Building some imaginary strawman because the reality outside does not conform to the game you are playing in your head. Quoting mondblut of all people, asking the people unhappy with where they are to extend courtesy you would not grant them in a million years to some transvestite politician goofball. When someone makes fun of you the banality reflected, you say, is predictable. Yes, it is, but only because you are. You're not interested at all in the views that other have, mondblut himself made fun of the likes of you, but as you acknowledged you didn't even address him. The only reason you think there is a circlejerk is because we are all towering over you and are jizzing on your face, but there is no consensus other than that.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

I don't know man. I've been silently following this site over the last 10 years

Maybe you were "silently following" because you didn't have anything interesting to say anyway, and thus don't factor into a discussion about what can or should be said.

 

[Viata]

Does this mean that discussing adventure or strategy games is now prohibited?

No one knows what is an RPG, anyway.

 

[Oberon]

Just because someone's running for office doesn't entitle you to know every part of their life.

Oh no, it does. If someone who is running for office has a bunch a paramours with out-of-wedlock children, is constantly stoned out of his mind, or is a man pretending to be a woman, the voters deserve to know. Believe it or not, that may seriously affect their decision to vote for him or against him.

Thank you for the pandering explanation. Here's mine: one of those things is not like the others.

1) Bastard children, assuming the result of infidelity, make an individual susceptible to blackmail and other undue influence, ergo it's a public safety issue.
2) Illicit drug use or other addictions may impair judgment, may make an individual susceptible to blackmail and other undue influence (e.g. if their behaviour is illegal), ergo it's a public safety issue.
3) A person's gender identity does what exactly? Has offended God?

There are pieces of information about a person that really aren't anyone else's business. Just because you can muckrake doesn't mean you should.

If a person even has a "gender identity" it means that they are mentally ill and brainwashed into a destructive ideology, ergo it's a public safety issue.

I see this place as a venue to talk about RPG's. Mostly because there's only a few places I know where there's such a concentration of cRPG enthousiasts.
There's a gazillion other places out there where people will gladly write slightly incoherent 5000-word monologues on politics and whatnot, so I don't think that's the allure of the codex (at least it isn't for me).

flyers notifying people that one of the local candidates for Parliament, Morgane Oger — who claimed to be a woman and dressed as a woman — was actually a man named Ronan Oger.

If you can't see how describing someone in a way and making an accident is different than taking an active campaign against someone because you disagree with their personal choices, you're insane.

Funny, I thought democracy favors scrutinizing politicians and exposing minute details about their personal lives for voters to consider. What other personal choices voters should now be kept in the dark over? The candidate being a drug user? Having a fling on the side?

edit: I see Rusty has already pointed it out, resulting in you going full NPC. Shame.

Before I start, I'd like to make it apparent that I'm addressing this sort of viewpoint generally rather than mondblut in particular since some of this stuff probably doesn't apply to him at all.

I always find it interesting that the same sorts of people who are into VPNs and talk about privacy rights and the horrors of doxing are the same people who tend to bring up the "right" to know about someone else's medical history and private life. Similarly, the same sorts of people talking about NPCs are the same ones parroting the same talking points and circle jerking each other about their culture war nonsense all while being oblivious to the irony.

Do employers have the right to know about the types of stuff everyone writes on the internet under whatever username they pick out? Does the passerby on the street deserve to know about what you post here? People in this thread have been up in arms about some users disclosing what various members have written in GD and other areas of this site. In order to make a link between an employer's "right to know" or the public's "right to know", you would need to turn the corner on making a link between whatever thought or behaviour people apparently have the right to know and public safety, the requirements of the job, etc. Not just curiosity, or not liking something. There's a difference between a substantive interest and the harassing and persecuting others.

I can deal with dumb jokes and disparate viewpoints. But this sort of hypocrisy is really pathetic. Cherry picking and advocating for "free speech" which apparently is having the right to agree with you is just sad. The fact that many posters in this thread are either too disingenuous or lack the self reflection, critical thinking, or reading comprehension to even understand what's in the articles they're linking is an indictment of your weakness, your poor education, and your lack of character. At the very least, grant that other people have the "rights" you sorts claim for yourselves and then see what type of soapbox you have left. You fear a police state while trying to build one for others and it makes me respect you a lot less.

tl;dr Hatemongers should take the time to pull their heads out of their asses, it might help them see the world more clearly. YMMV

Beautifully said, mediocrepoet . For myself, I kinda gave up already; I'm just going to interact with people here who are at least semi-reasonable and open to intelligent discussion, instead of "responding" with literally masterpieces such as "fuck off faggot" or "funny" memes, or spamming the retarded and cuck button. For those, thanks for helping me populate my ignore list, you won't be missed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_figure

A public figure is a person, such as a politician, celebrity, social media personality, or business leader, who has a certain social position within a certain scope and a significant influence and so is often widely of concern to the public, can benefit enormously from society, and is closely related to public interests in society.[1]

Which part of "one of the local candidates for Parliament" has failed to penetrate your enlightened brain?

Which part of "you would need to turn the corner on making a link between whatever thought or behaviour people apparently have the right to know and public safety" has failed to penetrate your wooden one? Just because someone's running for office doesn't entitle you to know every part of their life. That sort of muckraking is frowned upon and you actually can harass and otherwise make offenses against even sitting public officials and candidates.

Of course, self-serving weasels like you know the objectively correct standards for which parts of politicians' private lives we are allowed to write leaflets about, and aren't just power tripping pieces of shit making up standards where convenient to empower themselves and suppress their enemies.

I'm not even going to pretend I know what you're on about. I, like a person who can read, assumed that the dickhead in the article crossed the line on the basis that he was charged as noted in the article linked. But anyway, go on with your agenda of whatever.

That was real, by the way. Now who's the crazy one? No one can avoid taking sides anymore. The red pill has an extended release variant. None of this is even an actual conspiracy theory, and many people here used to be liberals 20 years ago.

High School Students Gave Teachers Lap Dances at Homecoming Event
‘MAN PAGEANT’

Hazard High School
A Kentucky high school celebrated homecoming this week with a new type of student-teacher conferences: lap dances. A “Man Pageant” showcased students in underwear and in drag dancing for their teachers, including the principal, in Hazard High School’s gym. The principal, Donald “Happy” Mobelini, is also the mayor of Hazard. Hazard Independent Schools superintendent Sondra Combs said “appropriate disciplinary action has been taken,” but did not specify. A school board member told the Louisville Courier-Journal, “Normally, the principal, Happy Mobelini, is pretty dad-gum strict, so that surprises me.” A thread dedicated to the events in the Reddit community r/trashy was titled, “This is the mayor of my town being grinded on by a high school student dressed as a woman.”

Read it at Louisville Courier-Journal

One video, first posted on Instagram in October 2017 then shared again in January 2018, shows one male student — dressed in a bra, shorts and wig — grinding on two other male students who sat in chairs in the middle of the gym, while a fourth student simultaneously throws a wad of what looks like cash into the air.
