I gatekeep keep but very specifically. I don’t just kick people out I just direct them to something that is more of what they are looking for as I’ve played a very wide variety of games both tabletop and videogames. I want people to have fun but I don’t like completely warping the ire concept of something just to get new people in. That what corporatism does and it ruins everything as some things are not for everyone.

He is fucken activist. I enjoyed his performance in BG3, some scenes were hilarious.
But for fuck sake, shut the fuck up. You got paid for promoting game and promoting D&D, not promoting Agenda.
People like this, heck, actors from Hollywood like this, Music Stars - all those people are Risk for Brand right now, employing them and their "preaching" is bad for business, D&D will never heal with people like this being its forefront.

New D&D Dungeon Masters and Baldur's Gate 3 actor Neil Newborn on normalizing LGBTQ in gaming: “We entertain people and educate people about acting. We spread inclusivity and try to be allies to the trans community, the LGBTQIA community, and people from different ethnic backgrounds.” “[Games like Baldur's Gate 3] normalize sexuality and gender in a way that we maybe haven’t seen quite so openly,” adding it is “important to keep pushing the message forward.” Asked about critics, he said: “If you think I’m woke, it doesn’t make a difference to me.” Is this what D&D should be promoting?

@apqstb @MooseMilk1985 @elvenmaidinn Your "Woektard" way is just people using pronouns the normal way, just because they decide for themselves they dont want to be a male or female anymore doesnt mean they are misusing pronoun you ignorant hillbilly.
English
@ArthurianStudio @MooseMilk1985 @elvenmaidinn Not the woketard way. Normal people don't "assign prefered pronouns" to themselves, a person's pronouns correspond to what was between thier legs at birth and always will whether they admit it or not and regardless of whether others cater to thier bullshit.

@LineGutter @Chaos_N_Cookies @elvenmaidinn And shows you arent a humongous dickwad that wants to gatekeep a fun game from everyone who wants to attempt to play it.
English
@LineGutter @Chaos_N_Cookies @elvenmaidinn Yes, as long as people dont hate on that person like most people do in these types of situations or tell them they cant ever play the game cuz they want to play that way. Just letting someone know they can play the game, just your table might not be the one for them is ok
English
@LineGutter @elvenmaidinn Someone to choose what they want to be or do and not hating them for it.
English
That’s not inclusivity. That’s just playing random roles.. the people who infected our dnd don’t care for that and are worried more about applying real world petty shit into our fantasy. Why do you want to oretend to be trans in a fantasy when you already are in RL? That shits boring and drags down the fantasy. Or pretending to date your perfect someone, that shit is pathetic to do. And yes I’m calling out all the people who play VNs for the same experience saying this :P
English
@LineGutter @elvenmaidinn Why wouldnt a Trans person not want to be a Trans person in game? When there is so little Trans people in fantasy books, movies or games? And it is inclusivity, because you are allowing someone to choose what they want, not force it upon them. Thats all inclusivity is is allowing

@kimberly_4VOLS @TommyTwoKnuckle @GuntherEagleman Its actually illegal to turn over voter information to the government, you can verify the votes are real or not without knowing my personal information
English
@TommyTwoKnuckle @GuntherEagleman they are....they can run thru fake ones all day long, then refuse to turn over voter information like over 20 states are doing because be easily caught

🚨 Trump just posted what everyone knows.
Democrats cheated.

@LineGutter @elvenmaidinn That is super unique and I love that lol
English
@ArthurianStudio @elvenmaidinn Think one of my crazier characters was a cleric popstar. She traveled to smite evil while using song to convert others to her faith
English
@LineGutter @elvenmaidinn No one is saying to revolve it around your gender, people are just wanting to play the game how they want and people are telling them no because they are part of the lgbtq community and they want to play a Trans character
English
@ArthurianStudio @elvenmaidinn I played female characters too. But none of our sessions revolved around anything gender related at all. I played characters that were enteredting. Even ran homebrewed classes
English
@LineGutter @elvenmaidinn Thats inclusivity, so what is your issue with invlusivity? Thats what im not getting with how you say its poisoning the game
English
@LineGutter @elvenmaidinn Because dnd came out at a time when people still believed females should still be making food and making babies, they were just starting to branch out from their homes for jobs. It allowed you to be something you weren't. That is being inclusive.
English
@LineGutter @elvenmaidinn So thats inclusivity, because if it wasnt itd just be human males
English
@Chaos_N_Cookies @LineGutter @elvenmaidinn Super smart magic spellcaster...thats called inclusiveness, otherwise itd all be male humans
English
@ArthurianStudio @LineGutter @elvenmaidinn Your question is not applicable and sets a trap that uses false logic to frame a gotcha in an attempt to preshape the answer you want versus rebutting or proving your point.
Go fish.
English
@Hapenstancially @elvenmaidinn That 100% is inclusiveness, because if it wasnt itd only be male humans who'd be allowed to be played because dnd came out when people still weren't wanting women to do more than cook food and make babies
English
@ArthurianStudio @elvenmaidinn I play with whatever character archetypes I feel is appropriate for the idea I have, but that has nothing to do with inclusivity, I’ve had characters that killed allies intentionally and I’ve played games with people I hate because a friend is their friend, I just ignore them
English
@LineGutter @elvenmaidinn I have a question for you, do you only play pcs that are human males, and do all at your table play as the same? Or is there a mix of races and sex?
English
I will hate on it cuz it seeped into the core of modern dnd. I been playing since the early 2000s since highschool and even read through the earlier material. Today’s dnd is not the same. It’s corrupted. There’s plenty of other tabletops ment for what people like you want. There’s BESM which covers those themes well. There’s world of darkness. There’s a few others that I can’t quite remember the names of but they explore social dynamics much better than dnd and what lore dnd has. Go play one of those.
English
@LineGutter @elvenmaidinn How has dnd being more inclusive ruined how you want to play the game? It literally says in the rulebook all lore and rules can be changed to what fits your play style
