You are so far out of line, it's beyond insulting in that mildly annoying but not really a big deal kind of way, but I will respond anyway. I stand by my post, no issues there and I never complained about "women of color", that's all you.It’s been a couple of days, and while this post has seen pushback, no one pointed this out so I feel obligated too. I’m sorry I’m advance for how it might affect the thread.
“There is a media-wide conspiracy to alienate true fans (meaning straight, white, cishet men) and pander to invaders that don’t care about our hobby” is a far-right talking point that originated during Gamergate. It’s a recruiting method used to fool (mostly) young cishet white boys into thinking that the problems with modern media can be easily blamed on a minority scapegoat. It is the “White Replacement Theory” of gamers. Neonazis love this type of conspiracy theory and alter it when necessary to fit the different hobbies they are infiltrating and recruiting from (gamers, 40k fans, Star Wars fans, TTRPGs, etc).
Since you’re the same guy that was complaining about Daggerheart’s art being of a woman of color, I doubt that you’re unintentionally engaging in this rhetoric. If you somehow are, you have fallen for far-right propaganda and are spouting their culture war talking points. Anyone interested in learning more should watch the Alt-Right Playbook by Innuendo Studios on YouTube. His video series on Gamergate and “How to Radicalize a Normie” go in-depth on the origin of this tactic and how it works.
I'm pretty sure you want me to be some kind of stereotyped cliched boogey man, but again that's all you, watching a lot of youtube videos, are ya? Sorry I don't fit into your pre-conceived little internet personality boxes. As well, you don't know me, my family or my life so maybe take a small step back from the keyboard before you wipe out trying to gain some kind of internet bonus points.
Seriously, not everything is a cliché "right wing talking point" if it challenges something you value. If you actually knew, you would know I am so far from that zone it's absurd, but I still can have a variety of creative opinions and view points, from more than one political angle if you must reduce everything to that perspective, it's so "internet in" to do so anyway. It's a good conversation if opinions of art are political, nice topic, for real.
But I do feel people should be free to enjoy, like or not like art without being accused of "all the bads that are in today", it's just tiresome at best. And for sure stifles interesting and engaging conversation, where you know, people can learn new perspectives and expand viewpoints.
