For the lazy: this is an archived link of a long-winded post entitled

The Worst People You Have Never Met, or, What I Learned During A Four Year Academic Study of Online Harassment In The Dungeons & Dragons Community

which tells you the post is not worth reading, nor the "Dr." author worth listening to.

If you read it you will see she found a snake pit so deep and and full of poisonous creatures that it makes the pit at the end of "True Grit" look like a fucking child friendly petting zoo.

If you think its going after non woke poeple you are mistaken. Or you are a wokey and don't want it being seen.

I couldn’t make it through the whole “article” but having watched as the RPG, and in particular, the DnD community become more and more obsessed with woke shit, I’m not surprised. This is the sort of thing that was written endlessly to force DnD to develop rules for “combat wheelchairs”, “accessible dungeons” and to remove race-based alignments and remind people that “orcs aren’t black people”, like anyone actually thought that.

This seems to happen whenever younger women decide they really must do the things that men do, but find that they don’t like the thing that men are doing, so feel the need to change it. And also when companies decide that their traditional audience is embarrassing or no longer good enough. The troons have contributed quite a bit to this shit too, because they have to make themselves the centre of attention everywhere they go.

But, it basically boils down to this. Men cannot have any hobby or interest for themselves, because certain women, not all because I actually knew some cool role playing girls who loved it the way it was, but a certain type of woman, sees men enjoying something and then desperately needs to join in and completely change it because the men were doing it wrong or they don’t actually like it but want the power that screaming about woke shit gives them. It happened to comics, tabletop gaming, role playing, and pretty much everything that men used to enjoy.

Oh there are fair amount of men doing the same shit in that long article.

But the really disgusting part was the "case study" in the last half or so.

Oh there are fair amount of men doing the same shit in that long article.

And those men are doing it because they see women want it, and hope by hopping their sorry asses on the bandwagon, they'll get favorable attention leading to sex.
