You can never please someone who wasn’t interested in your product in the first place.
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.
"Investors ruin everything".
The gatekeeping should have started with the money.
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.
What I was about to say
I mean, that was always the case?
That's what skills like Diplomacy and Move Silently are for.
Cis is a slur.
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.
But they've black-washed so many of their cards and banned all these offensive ones!
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".
I'm so glad I dropped D&D entirely. I will never go back. The system is lame anyway.
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.
Lol, look at the video thumbnail. They literally made orcs into black people with underbites.
Hazbro gonna make lots of people some real money... if they short the stock! Bahahaha!
It's a cult for the mentally ill.
