To be fair, a glance at RPG.net could lead one to think that anything related to tabletop is all SJW, all the time. Amber Scott herself came from that demographic. Roleplaying gaming is interesting in that both those sorts of people and stereotypical Codexian reactionaries seem to gravitate towards it.
Well, I don't know about RPG at large but I know I left my year+ roll20 group because they started putting in "safe spaces" and "shit you can't talk about" or "ways you cannot roleplay". I mean, at one point I had a "talk about racism and homophobia" with the GM because my widowed human character refused to join in on the elven orgy after a scenario. I'm not kidding.
It has been many years since I was gaming in PnP, I remember the early days of the Gygax (AD&D) vs Arneson (D&D) battles which were basically the STEM majors of the day vs Liberal Arts type majors. It was a constant battle of the story goers wanting to disregard rules and systems to chase some LARPing style of play which carried the hints of what we know today to be the SJW PC crowd BS. I had thought that much of this was solved when Whitewolf and more story focused systems came about where these people ran off to so they could have their complete freedom to ignore logic and reality in their play acting style of play, but apparently every element of PnP has been infected by these idiots?
It is as I have always said. These people aren't gamers, they are intellectual void nitwits who emotionalize their play which is why they throw tantrums when anyone brings up specifics on rules, statistics, and practical conformity to world physics and play. Watching this sort of destruction over the decades really lowers ones respect for people.
