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.

I don't get the lesbian hate from men.
It's not hate. It's more of a fishing expedition for excuses.

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. :gross:

I don't want to hear that shit, you maroons. :saywhat:

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.

"And finally, you don't worry about basic safety if you need to poop!" -T-rex, Daily Dinosaur Comics
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.
