misogyny aside, i just want to say what an interesting, fresh, and new topic this is and how excited i am to see the boards going in this direction
For a minute, I used to be "a guy" in the TTRPG "industry". Now I'm just a nobody. For the most part, it's a relief.

One of the most embarrassing things about these boards are peoples' insistence on providing their puerile and stereotyped insights on social politics, especially gender politics. 
I don't want to hear that shit, you maroons.

Your freedom to run/play a game without needing to understand a complex rule system is in direct conflict with my freedom to play a character whose abilities and flaws function as I intended within that ruleset. Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.
In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

This is totally true. I really had to take a dump and I pushed my way through three Belgians who were trying to rob me because I couldn't be fucked to stand around while they went through my pockets. I really needed to poop, and fighting seemed like it would take less time than surrendering through the language barrier."And finally, you don't worry about basic safety if you need to poop!" -T-rex, Daily Dinosaur Comics
