Increasingly, critical theories resemble rigid ideologies that have jumped the rails, and whose main contribution to society is moral outrage, all the time. Often the very fact some people are outraged is considered evidence that the target is “problematic.” This argument is a strange tautology, a kind of Mobius loop of aggressive morality. “I’m offended by orcs because they are racist.” Well, how can you be sure they are racist? “They are racist because people find them offensive.”

Such a tidy description of the regressive moralizers we're neck deep with these days. Literally, their one and only contribution to society is moral outrage.

That is top logic. What bothers me is not that we get SJW people who get outraged is that the media, movie companies, game developer and game "journalists" are encouraging it. A decade ago if someone said that orcs are racist they would have laughed at the idea and say that the one reporting it is racist for making that association. I blame affirmative action for this idiots getting moved in positions where they can enable idiots.

Affirmative action is the result of bioleninism.

People who naturally float to the top of meritocracies don't try to protect the system. They have nothing compelling their loyalty to maintain the system, since they achieved greatness on their own and locking out the plebs would be nice.

The problem is As hire As and Bs hire Cs. Once one person gets in that doesn't belong there, they will scramble to cling to their position by producing loyal backers, people who wouldn't get there without being placed. This creates a race to the bottom.

They need to start categorizing people to identify those who will be loyal. Falguini Sheth calls it racialization. Eventually they start openingly selecting for groups they percieve to be worthless. When you see leftists yelling for representation, the groups that they champion are ones that they percieve to be fundamentally worthless, because it will instill loyalty.

I agree with that. I used to joke that we have privatized socialism in US. No one is laughing at that though.

Mussolini considered Keynes' The End of Laissez-Faire as the manual for fascist economics. Hoover used it to create the New Deal before it had a name, and FDR went big. The US is literally a fascist economy.

The commies openly praise deconstruction. Critical theory can only be used to destroy. The SJWs build nothing.

Author is white and says something isn't racist? And this article is from April?

Did he publicly beg for forgiveness or did he get fired or does he have such little reach that he slipped beneath the Eye of Sauron's notice?

To appease the critical theorists on this score would require a massive scouring not only of the D&D game but of fiction, mythology, and folklore.

That's the end goal.

Sure orcs are racist. They think 'green iz best' and they don't like those stinkin' pointy-ears, humies and stunties. And let's not get into their oppression of the gobbos and snotlings.
