@Horace said in Hey Horace (and other D&D folks):
Interesting video from TreantMonk, talking about some of Kyle Brink's interviews with the D&D public. Brink is the face of the more modest and measured WOTC public relations after the disastrous "we both won" nonsense. What caught my eye was the part where he was talking to a black guy and someone of ambiguous gender on a zoom call. He was inquisitioned about the fact that he's a cis white male and that most of the power structure at WOTC were cis white males. He mentions that things are changing in that regard, and that people like him are "leaving the work force", and it can't happen soon enough, as far as he's concerned. He notes that he is "not the majority of the hobby" anymore. I guess that's the obligatory factually incorrect nonsense one must supply in one's public testaments to progressivism. It's like collateral when joining a cult.
ladies and gentlemen, that is the normal psychology of progressive white males these days. Abject disgust at themselves for the fact that they are cis white males, and a virtuous desire to exit the culture by any means necessary.
Maybe it would be less soul crushing for a guy like this, to just start sucking dick. Then at least he can have some self respect intellectually, as he allows himself to think honest thoughts, as a card carrying oppressed person.
Seriously, are progressive white females that awesome that guys have to sell their souls to get along with them? I'm pretty sure they're not. Actually, I'm pretty sure it would be torture to be in a relationship with one, and still expect to have your own opinions about anything.
The progressive testament in question starts at 12:40.

Oh yeah, that's been making the rounds.
Interestingly enough, because of all the good faith lost during the OGL debacle, it seems fans are more comfortable than you'd think calling bullshit on his shenanigans. Not at woke ideology more generally, but him in particular, which I suppose is still something.
