I heard that MCA left the dex after seeing Blaine GD posting something edgy. Had he commented on that it could have costed him his career even earlier.

It is just harder to justify spending your freetime on a place that might actively harm your career instead of one that just does not advance it.

Harm your career?
If you aim to work for the video games industry or work there already and you're retarded enough to post in the GD, you deserve your fate.

I don't see the harm in following the General RPG forum though.

Anything you say in twitter or any social media could harm your career as well.

You forget that participation is not the only thing that gets you banned nowadays.
https://www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2020/06/wizards-ends-their-relationship-with-terese-nielsen/ One of the best MTG artists got cancelled by WOTC for following people on Twitter.

The doctrine is if you tolerate a nazi you are a nazi.
Someone like MCA or Sawyer hanging around here in this day and age could get them cancelled just by association, since GD exists. They don't even have to post there for it.
I respect ZA/UM's balls for hanging around here in this day and age. Maybe being communists shields them from allegations a little bit or they just go under the radar due to being not big enough.

While some of that is true, I think it has more to do with broader changes... Twitter, Twitch, Steam forums and Discord fracturing communities, crowdfunding dying, "AA" devs being bought and not needing to directly reach to fans anymore, etc...

Making your own discord and bringing people there just makes much more sense than trying to please an already existing community you have no control over. Let your fans be the diplomats, and so on.
AKA all devs are a bunch of soft cunts who can't take any criticism and need trannies to protect them

Talking about the Codex now is somehow worse than during the height of GamerGate.
RPG Codex has been increasingly shunned by developers, publishers, and others in the gaming industry, ever since they started confusing us with the Codex cracking group. :M

Nope you are overthinking it, forums are indeed irrelevant now, you can get millions view on youtube, so its better to cater to youtubers and bribe them instead. When you are useless people throw you away. Thats why none of them will answer your tweets.

Useless trannies beg to differ, their tweets are answered with utmost obeisance.
They are useless to you , not to them .A very vocal and toxic group they fear.

Maybe it's time we become very vocal and toxic too.

Aren't we already?
Not on twitter, far too polite and consensual .

It was brought to attention by our great friend taxalot that this prestigious Codex vote has apparently gained international attention:
taxalot snitching on Twitter about the Codex racists and posting a screenshot of this thread:


About what @Izual said yesterday on the @Canardpcredac show about the RPGCodex site, here is a thread opened yesterday in a section reserved for people registered on the forum for over a year. I wish I could say that this is an exception.


Now I was trying to transcribe it with my less-than-optimal French knowledge and got about this far before I decided that not at least having it in written text, it's a bit too long and it'll probably be too time-consuming, maybe some native French speaker can attempt it:
"I have the privilege of Announcing that the site RPGCodex that presents itself as the reference site for RPGs (laughing) ...
The community RPGCodex organized a vote to elect the RPG of the year 2021. You are a specialist in RPGs ... and the final results by the RPGCodex community is Wasteland 3. Now the question, why do you think it's Wasteland 3?"

Here's Mortmal's attempt at a summary:
Dont worry guys ,on their podcast, the one treacherous taxalot is speaking of , (357) EMISSION | Hitman 3, Star Wars, Cyberpunk, avec ackboo, Ellen Replay, L-F Sébum et Izual | S03#10 - YouTube , they refer rpgcodex as the best of the best when it comes to rpg knowledge but of ill reputation to say the least . Mostly speaking of the community(lol) vote for the best rpg of the year. No , no i am not trolling , they really said that. They also added its a den of unbelievable violence, a den of racism , mysoginistic, fascists, i am probably forgetting a few other things but worse and something that will really hurt you...our rpg analysis are in much decline.
If you still wonder why no one answering your tweets, thats how the industry portrays you now.

Because of facebook, mostly, retards and racists "anti-racists" lobbies, half the population turned into a snowflake and is offended by everything.
That's what happens when social medias give everyone a voice.
So, what passed for a joke 20 years ago is now a capital offense.
Not that there isn't antisemitic and misogynist people around these parts but no more no less than anywhere else.

Mostly, i think a lot of codex members are against these lobbies more than anything else.

Also, as Georges Courteline said: "Passing oneself off as an idiot in the eyes of an imbecile is a gourmet's delight"

I wouldn't be quite so grim overall. The culture war is gonna end some day, and American and international politix will relax again.

It's same to say that it all would be peaceful in Germany if they won a war and killed all the Jews. Or tutsi after killing their couterparts bhutu or other way around. Orf course it would - but at waht cost, for whom?

Even though i'm parapharising, a lot of the cringe is not me adding it for comedic effect but what he actually says. Also things ain't necessiraly in right order as i'm just writing after 1 viewing and alrdeady forgot at what bit the disco elysium part was but made narrative sense to put it right after resetera.

Interviewer: -so rpgcodex, a prestigious site for rpgs full of RPG SPECIALISTS, have recently elected their GOTY 2020, and you are too an RPG SPECIALIST and you have cited rpg codex quite a bit in your articles, so it makes sense that RPG SPECIALISTS should all agree with each other right? Well guess who they voted for no1.... Wasteland 3.
-*nervous laughter*
-how do you explain this controversial opinion as a SPECIALIST in rpgs?
-Well first of all, we need some context, rpgcodex is not the PRESTIGIOUS site it once was, it's actually a very dubious and fishy site, who under the guise of "free speech" attract fascists, nazis, racists and misogynists, constantly posting hate speech in every thread, and propagating 3rd reich propaganda . You can't browse anything without an UNSPEAKABLE negative allusion to black people or jews.
-*shocked horror*
-and it attracts the filth and detritus of the net, people who get banned from sites that actually has some moderation,
-so it's not resetera, hahahaha :D
-hahahahaha ^_^ indeed not, so yes rpgcodex is for the very worst people and this has caused actual RPG SPECIALISTS to flee the site in horror, thus drainning the rpg codex of its intellectuals, resulting in poor quality articles and voting (wasteland 3). This is why i don't take anyone seriously when they repeat an opinion from rpgcodex or link to that site and their decline is reflected in their poor rpg analysis and articles.
-And who won the previous year?
-Codex elysium :D
-Ah so they did vote for the CORRECT result. How do you explain this when you've just said the site was full of evil bad evil people?
-You have to understand the context, this poll was not just for the codex but open to the general public, thus the hateful fascists and nazis of the codex were overpowered by the non hateful non biased englightened masses that came from outside the site, thus guiding the poll to the obvious correct result.

I am not enduring 20 mins more of this, I think this snippet is enough to give one a general idea.

He shoved Blaine on ignore for making a Jew joke about Infinitron. He posted a few times after the original Obsidian rant as well.

So no, Blaine didn't cause him to leave.
