I would also like to note how much white people want to put racism (fantastical or metaphorical) into their media... which is really odd to me? it's always the same lesson (presuming the moral ist "racism is good") that it's Bad it's Really Bad, it's never like "this is what happens when you do racism" or "racism is this way because it benefits The Powers That Be" it's nearly always "This is Bad"

i feel like something might be fucked up if white people constantly need to get told that it's bad

I think (I hope) im preaching to a choir here but:

i hate when fictional racism is poised as a morally grey conflict because like. racism, while not a metaphysical good vs evil, isn't that complicated?

like people being killed and enslaved for being a made-up Other is bad. Right? we can all agree that isn't exactly a complicated conflict besides "hey why dont you Not kill people for power"

and searching for it just gives me a buncha... w*ndigoon stan accounts??? horrors beyond my imagination aside, if anyone could find me that list again i'd heavily appreciate it!

I love this so much, I’m gonna start saying “nuts” we need to bring it back

I’m gonna say it.

It’s unhinged to assume that someone’s taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.

That is a bonkers assumption to make.

I’m tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.

I’m tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold– that they should be afraid of fiction’s dire influence on a reader’s moral decay or that it’s a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.

I think your RPG takes are really good :) I enjoy D&D 5e to some extent (like, it's fine), but I feel D&D's market dominance isn't great. But what gets me the most is how incurious many people who play D&D 5e to the exclusion of other games are. No interest in seeing anything that deviates from how D&D does things.

Yeah! This is a point I've tried to make clear too, like... ultimately if someone WANTS to stick to 5e that's not my problem. If they want to use heavily homebrewed 5e for a Doctor Who or Cyberpunk or Homestuck campaign or whatever and their table has fun with it like. Okay, I personally wouldn't do that but I also have no right to tell anyone to NOT do that.

But the moment they get so entrenched in that idea of "You can use 5e to do ANYTHING" that they start acting like someone else wanting to use anything other than heavily homebrewed 5e for anything is some ridiculous or preposterous idea that's when I have a problem with them. Especially when the people who think like that are a statistically significant enough portion of the tabletop public to affect business decisions in the hobby.

Like. One of the saddest cases I've seen in recent memory, the upcoming Adventure Time ttrpg from Cryptozoic was initially pitched as having its own system, only to later end up being switched to 5e. And considering that the initial Dicebreaker article that came out months before this announcement featured quotes from one of the developers about why they decided to use their own system and why they thought D&D wouldn't work well with the narrative flow they wanted for the game, and also that the reason given for the switch to 5e was "feedback from fans", it's clear that this is not a decision they made because they WANTED to make a 5e hack, but because they NEEDED to make it a 5e hack in order for it to be profitable because there's just such a huge portion of the tabletop public that got pulled into the hobby with 5e and is so fundamentally incurious that they won't touch a book with a 10-foot pole unless it some form of "5e compatible" logo on the cover.

It's weird that I always see the ghosts of Discourse but never the actual Discourse, like I just see people making salty posts about how "people always say x about y" but I've never actually seen anyone saying x. Is this even real?? Where is this happening???
