The problem is that many of these companies have been infiltrated and there are also things like ESG scores to consider. The useful idiots aren't making these changes for the customers, they're making them to please themselves and the higher ups are doing it for their investors like Blackrock.
That's the disheartening thing. The bud light boycott was funny and all but these companies have an infinite supply of pretend money as long as they do what they are told and continue to subvert. No boycott can truly be effective against that.
rather than launching an attack or presuming violence to be the only form of resolution. And it’s just one of dozens of moments from Transplanar RPG that set it apart from other actual-play shows.
I do find it funny how when you peel away the layers of accusatory bullshit they try and throw at everyone you quickly realise it's just a long winded marketing ad disguised as a political point.
“The content that we make is not for everyone,” adds Thomas. “It challenges specifically white audiences in a lot of ways, especially white cis audiences, insofar as the story really unwraps a lot of white puritanical values of good and evil. And it’s interesting to see our fans contend with that sometimes. And sometimes they can and sometimes they can’t.”
Possibly the most pretentious hipster bullshit so far by these people. Also as far as I'm concerned anybody who's using the term 'white cis' and means it is a fucking bigot and doing that on purpose and no amount of gaslighting on their part can change it. Cis has always meant to be a slur, fucking hell they're pretentious arseholes.
Also, no way am I playing 'theatre of the mind' style pen & paper RPG with a bunch of sophistry post modernists. It would be hard enough to defend your actions/follow the rules with a grid and minis with these people, let alone a more arbitrary situation that relies on good faith interpretations.
It will never be enough. Their cast could be 100% black and they would still find something to complain about. Probably that they are heterosexual and/or "cis".
Old editions live on in OSR clones, many of which are still quite compatible with old source materials, too. Loving Old School Essentials, hoping to crack in to the extra Advanced rules (cloning some of the AD&D stuff to merge into the base game that modeled more-or-less basic) next year with wrapping up a campaign with friends.
You can never please someone who wasn’t interested in your product in the first place.

"Investors ruin everything".
The gatekeeping should have started with the money.

What I was about to say
Wow that reads like shit, I'm so uninterested lol
I mean, that was always the case?
That's what skills like Diplomacy and Move Silently are for.

But they've black-washed so many of their cards and banned all these offensive ones!

I'm so glad I dropped D&D entirely. I will never go back. The system is lame anyway.

Lol, look at the video thumbnail. They literally made orcs into black people with underbites.

It's a cult for the mentally ill.
