I like to play with "people" like this just so I can brutally murder their characters. Sometimes I throw in rape for good measure

Hypocrisy is second-nature to humanity because the self doesn't really exist. The self is an emergent and constructed process made of multiple competing modules: a narrative constructed by the brain trying to justify many competing learned and instinctive impulses.

Being perfectly consistent, makes peole predictable and easily exploited. Being able to hold a moral standard for others (to keep the group in check) while carving out "special case" exceptions for ourselves (to maximize our own fitness) is a winning evolutionary strategy.
The best way to lie to others is to believe the lie yourself. If your "narrative self" truly believes it is virtuous, it can defend your actions with much more conviction.

While this is a "winning" strategy for individual fitness, it creates a coordination problem for the group. If everyone believes they are the "virtuous exception," the social fabric begins to fray. This is why human cultures have developed intense shaming rituals and "hypocrisy hunting". It is the group’s evolutionary counter-strategy to the individual’s self-deception.
"We use morality to bind ourselves together, and then we use self-deception to keep ourselves at the front of the pack."
It’s a cynical view, but it explains why human history is a long list of people preaching fire and brimstone while secretly indulging in exactly what they condemn.

What if those people are unhappy with the fact that I am playing TTRPGs and do everything in their power to intrude in my spaces and force me to accommodate their playstyle while exerting cultural pressure on the people who make the game to purposefully exclude people like me?

All of those things are happening at your kitchen table? Well, I guess that's a good opportunity for you both to learn more about each other and how to resolve differences of opinions like big boys and girls, anon.

They're the same

>>97865609
Your moralfaggotry and concerntrolling won't change the fact that these people are making the game worse by virtue of them being catered to by the makers. Keep your eyes willingly shut while your spaces are invaded by these degenerates, and when they come for you there will be no one to stand at your side because you thought you were doing the right thing by grandstanding and highroading them, you fucking loser.

>b-b-but my identity politics!
Anon it's just a hateful story you tell yourself. You use it to make yourself feel validated and worthwhile without having to do anything. Do something to be proud of with your life, and you'll see how vapid, shallow, pointless and stupid your identity politics actually are.
>>
>>
>>97866144
I'm not "projecting," anon. I'm stating it. Because you're obsessed w/ identity politics. It's always true of the identity politic people. You're all exactly alike. It's why you take so much pride in believing the right things, or having the right sexuality or skin color. Because you've got nothing you actually deserve to be proud of, so you're obsessed with portraying yourself as intrinsically better than others. Because you're afraid that if you got measured by what you deserved? You wouldn't be worth much.
>>

>>97866196
You derive your value, and the value of others, from how inclusive you and they are to people who don't deserve it and should rightly be shunned, and act like this gives you moral authority over those who do what you dare not. You're a self-righteous coward and I see right through you.

>>97866261
If they're all as mentally subdeficient and culturally unaware as you, that'd make perfect sense. My family is not and we all love each other wonderfully, if not vastly more than yours ever could. I take great pride in raising the kind of children that would stomp the ever-loving shit out of faggoty kids like yours.
>>
>>97866282
Deficient means "failing" or "lacking." Subdeficient would mean "under failing" or "under lacking." It's a double negative, anon. It would mean "sufficient."
Your bitter, angry little tirades don't carry weight, anon. Grow up. Be better.

Anon we sit around kitchen tables playing make believe. Yes, I'm a big fucking nerd. The "destruction of our hobby?" Stop self-aggrandizing. No one is going to come to your house and impound your books and dice, just because gay people also play games. Your identity politics are irrelevant to the rest of us, but their poisoning you, anon. They're hurting you. Just stop.

What's this "we" shit? Those of us who are part of the hobby were the freaks and nerds everyone called "fag" because we liked to read and pride ourselves on learning. The dykes with blue hair playing tieflings who publish books? They belong here. Xenophobic anti-intellectuals? Not so much.

Actual fans

And we're the only ones who belong

They belong in camps
>>
>>97869062
You are the one who does not belong.
Your buzzwords are stale, we have heard them before, and we have grown to understand the absolute malice they conceal.
"You" are not "us".
You barely even register as a person.

Why is that?

Lol. People like me who actually play ttrpgs, and people who punlish books about playing ttrpgs, will always matter more than angry, impotent incels.
>>97869774
Its not about defending OP.
It's about mocking you.
>>
>>
>>97869780
>It's about mocking you.
Not me, since I'm not a chud. If there was ever a CHUD rpg I'd be making fun of it too. I guess there's ACKS but I do make fun of it whenever anyone posts it. And the pic-related in the OP is an RPG-adjacent product that looks ridiculous just like FATAL, and thus deserves mockery.
But it sure is interesting that you admit you are just here to fight the culture war.
Rest assured my friend, I'm not one of those nazi chuds so you don't have to worry about the culture war from me.

Lol. Making fun of the /pol/ incels isn't "fighting the culture war," anon. But if you believe in their identity politics then yes, you too. "You agree or you're my enemy!" is exactly the bullshit we make fun of you people for. It's brainwashing, cult behavior.

I make fun of any dumb looking game like FATAL, ACKS, about 90% of the coffee table RPGs that get funded on kickstarter, that one game about the radio wave that makes you fight facism or whatever its name is, etc.
It's not about politics, just about having fun pointing out dumb RPGs.

Do you really not see the irony here? You're insisting that everyone who doesn't agree with you is a "/pol/ incel" while insisting that /pol/ is worthy of mockery because they view everyone who disagrees with them as an enemy. Take a breath man. Go outside. You can make better arguments.

Remember when characters had a specific aestethic based on race/class? Now is gone.
Which is funny because back then it was more "diverse" and now everyone is just dressed like a generic human but has a different skin color.
This looks extremely boring.

For starters, if you think tourists came here in 2016 because something something right-wingers Trump MAGA REEEEE, then you’re self-reporting as a tourist. This site became unusable in 2014 due to several notable internet controversies, and it unfortunately drew in the kind of bad faith actors who unironically use terms like chud, incel, and, OH, “2016 tourists!”
