This is FANTASTIC. The mods at RPGNet decided that they had enough of the white supremacists and other racists, so they banned them.
When someone concern trolled the mods, this was their response.
As I have said elsewhere, “I prefer Coke to Pepsi” is an opinion and there can be a discussion about it. “Jews should all be murdered” is not merely an opinion, and it should be treated with the seriousness and severity that it deserves.
Keep punching Nazis.
Also not “opinions”:
- “Police are correct in shooting unarmed black people.”
- “Women are and should be treated as second-class citizens”
- “Women shouldn’t get to decide whether to have children or not”
- “Rapists shouldn’t be punished or should only be punished lightly so as to not jeapordize their future.”
- “disabled people shouldn’t exist”
- “Businesses should have the right to discriminate against homosexuals.”
- “Transgender people don’t exist and shouldn’t be recognized.”
- “Homosexuals shouldn’t get to exist.”
- “Women don’t deserve to earn the same as men for the same job.”
- “Everyone should have the ability to own a gun regardless of the danger that represents to others.”
- “Vaccines cause autism and therefore shouldn’t be used.”
- “Business’s right to pump oil supercedes citizen’s right to clean water and a healthy environment.”
- any other statement that ends up putting other people in danger of and/or getting other people killed.
i love in fantasy when its like “king galamir the mighty golden eagle and his most trusted advisor who would never betray him, gruelworm bloodeye the treacherous”
When my sister and I were kids we had this one action figure, who was actually a brutalized batman doll without his cape (the dog chewed half his head, too), who we dubbed ‘Evil Chancellor Traytor’. The idea was that in the fictional society of our toys, ‘chancellor’ just came with the word ‘evil’ in front of it, as a matter of ancient tradition. Like ‘grand’ or ‘high’ or something along those lines.
Anyway, the running gag was that the king (an old Power Rangers knock-off doll) had absolute and unwavering faith in Evil Chancellor Traytor, who basically comported himself like a mix between Grima Wormtongue and Jafar from the Aladdin movies. Everyone was always sure that Evil Chancellor Traytor had something to do with the nefarious scheme of the day. The dude even carried around a poisoned knife called ‘the kingslayer’.
The additional twist on the joke, though, was that he never was behind anything. The king was actually right. Evil Chancellor Traytor was the most devoted civil servant in the entire Action Figure Dystopia. He spent his nights working on writing up new legislature to ensure that broken toys had access to mobility devices, was always on the lookout to acquire new shoeboxes for expanding city infrastructure, and drafted a proposal that once got half the ‘settlement’ in my sister and I’s closet moved to the upper shelf so that vulnerable toys were less likely to be snatched up by the dog.
The knife, as it turned out, was as symbolic as the ‘evil’ in his name. See, Action Figure Dystopia had a long history of corrupted monarchs getting too big for their thrones and exploiting the underclasses. The job of the Evil Chancellor was to always remain vigilant, and loyally serve a good ruler – or, if the regent should became a despot, to slay them on behalf of the people.
But since killing the king would be a terrible crime, the Evil Chancellor had to be the kind of person who would willingly die to spare the people from the plight of a wicked leader; because the murder would be pinned on them, in order to keep the ‘machinery of politics’ working as smoothly as ever.
Anyway, Evil Chancellor Traytor had a diary, in which my sister I would take turns writing out the most over-the-top good shit he’d done behind the scenes. Usually after everyone else had finished talking shit about him. I don’t know why but we got the biggest kick out of being like:
Barbie With the Unfortunate Haircut: Oh that Evil Chancellor Traytor! Why can’t the king see how wicked he is?!
Charmander From the Vending Machine: Char!
Jurassic Park Toy of Jeff Goldblum With Disturbingly Realistic Face: At least if someone puts a knife in the king’s back, we’ll know where to look!
Evil Chancellor Traytor’s Diary: Today I was feeding ducks at the park when I noticed another legless action figure sitting by the benches. I put a hundred dollars into his bag while he wasn’t looking. I really need to increase budgeting to the medical treatment centers. If only we had enough glue, I think we would see far fewer toys trying to get by without limbs… *insert iconic evil laugh*
Anyway, Evil Chancellor Traytor eventually fell victim to one of my mom’s cleaning sprees, and she decided he was too busted up to keep and tossed him out. My littler brother, who tended to follow my sister and I’s games like he was watching a daily soap opera, cried so hard that we had to do a special ‘episode’ where one of the toys found the Evil Chancellor’s diary, and so he got a big huge memorial and the king threw himself into the empty grave and then ordered the toys driving the toy bulldozer to bury him so that ‘Traytor’s grave would have a body’ (this seemed very important for some reason).
And then we had the Quest For a New King. Somehow or another that ended up being a giant rubber snake called ‘Tyrant King Cobra’.

i will always reblog Evil Chancellor Traytor
“sex positivity” was a mistake. it’s not being utilized in a way that lets people (especially young girls, people of color and lgbt people) have proper access to information about sex and STDs, consent, or rape culture but instead it just promotes a “fuck whoever you want whenever you want and never think about the consequences!” mindset. it leads to a lot of minors making god awful decisions and then regretting them later with nothing they can do about it. it leads to “being open about your kinks is progressive!!!!” which in turn ends up with men pressuring women into violent sex and saying that if she was a #Real sex positive feminist, then she’d have sex with him how he wants her to.
sex positivity should’ve been used to promote education of safe sex, to lessen stigma around sex (especially between sga and trans individuals), to give sex workers a voice, to spread proper information about STDs and prevention and treatment, and to teach about rape culture and consent. but as with most movements like this all it ended up being was a red lipstick and black heels “fuck the patriarchy” type thing while doing literally nothing progressive! and of course i’m not saying there’s nobody who does this, but with the way the sex positivity movement has gone, i doubt these people have the energy to try and have a loud enough voice in a community spewing the opposite of the message that should be gotten across.
I promise yall faves couldn’t even come close next case
Beyoncé, what you gonna say at my funeral?? Now that you killed me??
^^^^^^
ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
I love this idea. We used to do things like this in Improv.
Related game: “THINK ABOUT IT.” You’re given a random topic, and your job is to build it into an epic conspiracy theory, the crazier the better. You end your rant with a serious face and the command that your listeners “Think about it.”
Another related game: Illuninati. Similar to Think About It except you are given 2 completely different topics and you have to connect them to each other in a wild conspiracy rant

Song: I Remember The Day I was in Yaffa [Jaffa] – أذكر يوما كنت في يافا
[Rough Translation]
I remember the day I was in Yaffa,
[O please tell us, tell us more about Yaffa]
and my sails were in the port of Yaffa.
[O the days of fishing in Yaffa]
The sea has called upon us in the early morning, and we prepared our sails.
[O we could see/imagine it, O how much we now yearn for Yaffa]On dawn we set off,
and we wandered in the sea until we lost sight of the shore.
[Was the sea rich of fish?]
We were indeed rich of it.
From sunrise to sunset,
we wandered in the water.But when the night creeped in, [O that Night!]
The viscous winds hit us. [O on that Night!]
O it was a rash storm, and the waters reached the skies.
[O that storm comes across like cruel bandits!]
We lowered our mast, and held tightly to our paddles,
We paddled and paddled around, and death was looming above us!
We fought the angry waves, and dug our way through the sea,
And our hands would pull hard and harder,
and our boat would pull and pull through.But at one point, we said we are lost,
We are doomed, in this cold hell.But as the morning and its winds returned,
We returned with the wind.
And we entered Yaffa’s port
[O how great it is to be back in Yaffa]
And we beautified the shore with seashells,
[O the sweetest days are in Yaffa]Though the winds were striking and wailing at us,
We yelled “O We will return to Yaffa!”
[And today, though the winds are striking and wailing at us,
and we yell that We will return to Yaffa.]And We will return! We will return to Yaffa!
[And We will return! We will return to Yaffa!]And We will return! We will return to Yaffa!
[And We will return! We will return to Yaffa!]
