The first time you meet one they might be a bit off but you're progressive and acceptin so you let them do their shit, play a strange character, whatever. You don't have the heart to say no to their BS
But then it happens again, and again, and again. It's just tiring, these fucking people can't play like normal humans. They're so accustomed to being the center of attention that they just dominate the game like a cancer, constantly pressing for more this more that more of what they want. They make requests for you to put more trans characters in the game and you smile and go "yeah i'll look into it" because they're not technically bad people so you don't have a right to just tell them to fuck off, and plus they've been gaming with you for a year.
But it's annoying. It was fine the first time and I was perfectly accommodating but now i see dye colored hair and gay flag symbols and i fucking cringe inside, imagining how they're going to say dumb shit and be loud and talk about how to make the game more progressive. And I nod my head but my homunculus is banging the walls screaming Holy shit bitch just let us do some fucking dungeons. And yes there really are a lot of them. Trying to tell me how to run my dumb fucking ogre klingon grindhouses, FUCK you guys. It's just a game.
I had an over the top player like that once. The game ended after the fifth session.
Evan Johnson
I have three players who are varying flavors of non-straight. We all sometimes play stuff that's kinda weird, non-straight characters have featured in our games, and we all get along just fine.
I have no idea what OP is on about.

Carter Hill
I live in the Deep South, so I wouldn't know. All the same, I feel for you OP.
Not OP, but there's a difference between a gay man and a faggot.
Carter Morris

Owen Howard
OP is right, but it isn't limited to progressive players. Real life politics and role playing games just don't seem to mix. Funnily I found my more right leaning friends far more tolerant of weird and different opinions than my progressive friends, but that's just a subjective observation.

you dont have a problem with a "progresive player" you have a prolem with a attention whore, you just happen to stumble on the progresive version. Talk to them and tell them you dont want politics in your game and if the could not showe it in or at least keep it to a minimum. If they dont do it tell them to fuck off and find a nother group. But dont be angry about it, just tell them why you have a problem with it
Adrian Scott
Also OP needs to realise his last thread died for a fucking reason. It's time to stop.

Have you tried talking to him about it? You could always welcome him to try out DMing if he doesn't like your way of doing it.

Tell them to get bent, if they want a setting with all those things in it then they can run a campaign and design it.

If I ever get a hint of that sort of shit they get the boot.
You're under zero obligation to put up with their bullshit. All they bring is disruption and time-wasting to a group, and they're usually shit, self-centred players too. They can go and be a cunt somewhere else.
Alexander Myers

Oh, sure, and the tiki torch waving saluting faggot who can't stop ranting about the jews is any better? /pol/ is like furries, bronies, and 40kids. Everything they say and do has to revolve around that one thing they're obsessed with. Take it away, and they're nothing.
Have you never seen this? They use these freaking things at my LGS. Imagine GMing something and someone takes issue with what you say and holds up a card. If you don't obey that they kick you out

Real world politics and gaming don't mix.
I've had one fucker get angry at me for having a magical kingdom that used what basically amounted to socialism to keep things running, and his reason for being upset was that "there's no way people would agree to higher taxes without rebelling ever" and how I was pushing communist ideals by not featuring a rebellion. I told him he could fuck off if he couldn't handle what was literally just an in setting kingdom, and he left.
I had another fucker get angry at me for having a country where things worked relatively well and the populace were enthralled by their clearly fascist dictator to the point that asking too many questions about him would lead to a concerned citizen reporting you to the cops, saying I'd only have such a place if I was a nazi. I admit, I got a bit angry with that guy and kicked him out on the spot.
Jayden White
too many elves on this shit board
Nicholas Bell
> If you don't obey that they kick you out That's a very extream form of the X card. I'v meet with it before and it was always used as a "could we tone things down a bit" not a "fuck you and what you are doing". I find it a good thing to use in convenctions, especialy with newer people to the hobby who tend to be stressed out in public games and often wont speak up
Gabriel Lee
Should have told him how many times Reagan raised taxes. Spoiler: it was a lot.
Jack Myers
I take issue with people passively foisting anything on my, OP.
So yes I agree that it's annoying people trying to passively force you into their style of life.
As for the Progressive side? So long as they don't bring it to the table. I shouldn't care. Which leads right back to my first point.
Joseph Peterson
>Oh, sure, and the tiki torch waving saluting faggot who can't stop ranting about the jews is any better?
I've never encountered anyone like that in real life, I have plenty of progressives.
It's that I've been out so much that I know it to be true. Take that dude in the OP pick, why does he have pink hair if not to attention whore?
Connor Kelly
Honestly, the best way to help new anxious players is to just be friendly. I generally frown on any of these contrivances. This is a game where people meet up and have fun as friends, so relying on a crutch like this is strangely mechanical compared to the way you'd usually play. A good GM would just accept and invite verbal criticism and not need a signalling system from the players. If you make the guy comfortable he'll speak his mind regardless of whether there are cards
Alexander Rogers
>All these butthurt progressives ITT I want tumblr to leave.
Juan Robinson
i think i might have spelled something wrong, i did not mean privet games, i meant public games in cons and the like, you know, where you sing up and might not know what you are getting into at the same time not knowing the GM > Take that dude in the OP pick, why does he have pink hair if not to attention whore? This guy is a attention whore of the progresive type. He is not progresive because he is a attention whore, he is a attention whore that identifies as progresive
Angel Adams
>all thouse butthurt /pol/tards angry that people dont agree with them i want /pol/ to go and stay go
Jaxson Myers
>This guy is a attention whore of the progresive type
They're all attention whores.
Mason Robinson
Or maybe you are dumb faggot and you should leave.
Noah Carter
>Thinking Veeky Forums is a /pol/tard safespace. i'm laughing.

maybe because he likes how it looks you fucking imbicile
Chase Gray
know a lot of these types, they seem to mostly keep it to themselves. same can be said about the legit homophobes too. bait thread
Landon Hughes
Why does he like how it looks? because it's striking, because he's an attention whore.
Luke Nguyen
>he thinks pink hair is striking dude, go outside, look at how people dress, pink hair is not really anything strange in most places
Carson Nelson
>"Why do people own expansive cars? Because they are attention whores!" This is how you sound.
Adam Bennett
>pink hair is not really anything strange in most places
It's strange in any place I've ever been.
This is true for the most part, some will care about performance though, same can't be said for pink hair.
Isaac Gutierrez
real shit, Veeky Forums has been one of the most left leaning boards for as long as i've been here and i am quite glad for it
Hunter Mitchell
back in 2014 we had a few massive threads where people argued for outright banning gays from playing in their games.
Elijah Ross
Same. Right-wingers can argue politics with people of other political persuations without major issues. Leftists get hyper-emotional and possibly violent if you say something they do not like.
Logan Williams
>It's strange in any place I've ever been. you either live in the country or not in the west. I live in a extreamly conservative and homophobic slav country and i see this shit at least once a week
Elijah Hughes
>Right-wingers can argue politics with people of other political persuations without major issues
have you been living under a rock? right-wingers get so triggled by other people's opinions they literally run them over with cars or beat them half to death with sticks
Michael Lewis
I've been here from the start, and what are you smoking? Veeky Forums has always been near completely apolitical, just a bunch of nerds talking about their games and various weird erotic fantasies (until we got a no-fun-allowed mod).
For a time now we have been completely 'infiltrated' or something by some kind of tumblr/reddit-type playerbase, you can notice because people become hysterical as soon as something vaguely right-wing comes up, if a frog is posted, and if something non-PC comes up.
Can't really see rape-factory and elf-slave-wat-do threads pop up and thrive on this current infiltrated version of Veeky Forums, for example.
Perhaps Critical Role and other such shitfests are to blame? Bringing heaps of soyboys here from god knows where.
Christopher Roberts
really weird. I've been keeping this thread autoupdating in a tab for a few minutes now. It seems as if new posts do not bump this thread.
are we blacklisted or something? I see no reason why the moderation should be shadowsaging this thing without even telling us. what rules does it even violate?
Landon Green
>you either live in the country or not in the west.
I live in a western city.
> i see this shit at least once a week
I don't see it that often, but even at once a week that's still not common if you actually travel around.
Mason Clark
Here's another emotional reaction. Critically evaluate what you wrote: Hand on your heart, is that what right wing people do when debating politics?
Jose Davis
>For a time now we have been completely 'infiltrated' or something by some kind of tumblr/reddit-type playerbase, you can notice because people become hysterical as soon as something vaguely right-wing comes up, if a frog is posted, and if something non-PC comes up.
we either post in diferent times or you are from a alternative reality because all political shitposting i see on Veeky Forums is /pol/shitposting
Nicholas Wood
It's objectively not a natural hair color, my man. By no metric is it normal.
Henry Turner
It's called pruning. And it's called being off-topic.
Kevin Hernandez
Yes, indeed. I've lost count of how many times Sargon of Akkad has run people over with his car during debates.
Juan Morris

Aiden Myers
Didn't say it was. Just that bringing in personal politics into Veeky Forums is pathetic. Is everyone who isn't a SJW /pol/ now or something?
Sebastian Peterson
I literally have not seen any /pol/ shitposting here. I've seen some /pol/ person doing something vaguely /pol/-y, like posting a frog, or a statement equating orcs to blacks, which will be followed with several emotional replies derailing the thread.
Here's a link to rape-factory, by the way, back when Veeky Forums was apolitical and unregulated:
It would never happen on nu-Veeky Forums, to use /pol/-lingo.
Nathaniel Hughes
No... everyone who isn't SJW is literally a nazi.
Michael Gomez
I was under the impression that pruning referred to automatic deletion, or at the very least, manual deletion, not mods just autosaging the thread because they don't agree with it.
Off-topic replies are the fault of the person posting, not the thread itself. The fact that they wouldn't outright delete it means that they don't have a real hard reason for why the thread itself is rule-infringing. They're just fucking with us because there's literally nothing we can do, and they take personal offense at the OP.
Julian Butler
Thanks, you just proved his argument right lol.
Grayson Butler
Lefties censoring. Are you seriously surprised?
Gavin Myers
>lefties censoring
all the posts that were deleted were posts basically asking /pol/ to get the fuck out
Jayden Lee
So you just came here today.
Elijah Young
this entire thread is being censored by getting autosaged fifty posts in. what's next, get b& for shitting on some jannie's favorite game? this site has turned into a joke
Matthew Nguyen
Yes, his argument of /pol/ faggots being retarded was proved right.
John Gray
You are continuing to be very emotional and not making sense.
Nolan Bell

He'll probably find happiness when his wife is pegging him with a black dildo, quietly so that her son can't hear in the next room.

Jordan Long
The f-word has been dropped by several people in this thread. If it applies to anyone, it's this John S. guy.
"Yeah, I'm gonna try to copyright drawing an X on a piece of paper and acting like a normal person. You have to credit me if you ever draw an X! Even though people have been using an X for things they don't like for YEARS!"
Lincoln Bell
That's been my experience too. Only times I've ever had anyone try to push politics and the like in games or rant during breaks, the player was liberal.
Doesn't mean the other side doesn't do it too, just that I haven't encountered it yet.
Levi Butler
Can't speak for everyone, but in my local small town community, progressivism killed ttg. It started with one progressive new guy from NYC and spread through the entire community. Soon everyone was pro-30 different social issues and virtue signaling everywhere. It has made the entire local gaming community insufferable. No one actually plays anymore, they all just tey to prove they are either more victimized or more "intune" with what ever social issue is popular at the time. I quit out of disgust, and 3 other guys either quit, moved, or were pushed out of the community.
It's possible that my local gaming community has always been progressive, but I don't think thats true, as most of those guys would be willing to make racist, sexist, etc jokes before the NYC guy moved here.
So I honestly think progressivism spread like a fire through my local community, due to one guy.
