Why does Pathfinder, of all systems, attract so many weirdos, autists, weeaboos, fetishists, furries, degenerates, and ERPers?
What makes it even more of a magnet for creeps than World of Darkness?
Pathfinder

Kitsune and Catfolk, followed by the Path of War rules that really cemented the weeaboo fans into /pfg/. Everything following that is just self-fulfilling prophesy.
Bentley Morgan
It's popular.

>Kitsune are common race, among other things
>Canonical Steampunk setting
>so many expansions and rules that at this point it might as well be D&D: the GURPSening
>character creation entails the same sort of discussion that crafting a magic deck does.
>Characters are stupidly broken.
Why do you think?
That being said, I'm really hoping that Starfinder is "Paizo's answer to 5e," and they cut out all the cheese from PF in making it.

You do know that Starfinder is gonna be built to be compatible with Pathfinder, just so you can play your furry weeaboo kitsune in space, right?

it's DnD v3.5 2.0. it's a well-known fact that anyone who plays DnD is a weirdo.
it allows a ton of customization in terms of class options with a library of rules to pore over and combine together, which attracts autistic munchkins
much of this customization allows characters that are similar to anime characters, which attracts weebs
the number of character options and homebrew races attracts fetishists and furries
and there exists FATAL-tier rules for degenerates and ERPers
by their powers combined it really is the ultimate ruleset

Is this a bad thing?

Normalfags are bad at roleplaying except for a few cases, prodigies if you would. Everyone else is a gamble, whether a degenerate or weirdo as you listed or some ego-fag who is practically a normalfag parading their dick or tits within the non-normalfag world to feed their own hubris "winning" or "taking over" the field.
Jonathan Foster
It's not that weirdos and degenerates are attracted TO Pathfinder, it's just that all the mentally sound and well adjusted eventually quit playing Pathfinder and only the weirdos and degenerates are left.
