I'm fortunate that everyone in my group is far right and so we always have a lot of depth and interesting dilemmas in our games.

I've played ONE session with a bunch of Leftists and it was the most shallow, boring, and retarded hyper-sexual cringe game I have ever forced myself to endure.

I strictly now only run games with those who identify as far right for this purpose. Generally speaking, they are more intelligent, more widely read (and so bring to the table a greater sense of depth and interest), and are actually more willing to participate in a complicated world as opposed to this trash who are more interested in the character putting on dresses and make up.

>>54385589
Unfortunately this is the era we live in where we are given very little choice. You can clearly see the battle lines being drawn and polarization is only getting more intensive.

My point was that the far right guys I play with were far more open to everything as opposed to the Left-wing group I played with. For example, the far right guys don't get offended over pretty much anything and actually are more satisfied with a complex world with complex situations, religious strifes, ethnic tensions, etc.

They want to see realism in my game and they aren't really going to shed tears over the harder realities I like to put into my games.

I just don't have patience for the immature Left-wing that is more concerned with playing with their dicks than they are enjoying a fleshed out game.
>>
>>54385476

I've played with a lot of different groups and now that I think about it. You're right. Maybe not the far right stuff, but anyone who was self-affirmingly a lefty was a shitty, shallow player, with meme characters and often played lolsorandumbXD when the mood really wasn't that kind of speed.

The issue isn't the leftist views. Its the immaturity that's the problem. There are plenty of right-leaning people who are just as stupid. The problem isn't politics, it's that every idiot and moron under the sun can only think about politics.

>>
>>54385688
Hahahah not quite. For instance, there was a nation state that formed out of the flames of a previous war and so it contained a mix of Elves, Dwarves, and Humans and these groups wound up actually hating one another.

Believe it or not but the far right guys actually eased tensions and helped put into power a Half-Elf who was able to settle the flames and make the country at least somewhat more stable than it had been when it first arrived.

But man was I looking forward to some good ol' RaHoWa.

>>54385630
My personal opinion is that you're just making things up.

I've played with people across the political spectrum, with good players and bad players on either side. I've played with horseshoe leftists who find it uncomfortable when something doesn't align to their values, and I've played with fervent members of the right with a bring their politics into the game and project it on everything in the setting.

The idea that people are any less retarded on either end of the political spectrum is completely fallacious, though I have to admit, the horseshoe leftist is easier to deal with. They at least can be shamed into silence by an infodump about why their idea of how things are doesn't apply to a 1500's-ish fantasy setting. My experience is that when a super conservative decides that [insert downtrodden group] must be the bad guys because he's made them [insert RL minority he doesn't like] in his mind, he has to go, because he won't ever drop that bone.
>>
>>54385718
It is just from my experience that every Leftist I have ever encountered was stuck with a child mindset and incapable of legitimate conversation without falling apart or resorting to name calling. And all of their characters were empty shells probably reflecting their own worthless existence. It was like trying to reenact Lord of the Rings with the cast from Naruto.

Yeah sure, exceptions exist to any rule or observation but after everything I have encountered I'd rather just stick to the guys who are more interested in story, depth, and fleshed out worlds and characters than penises and vaginas and how they still can't figure that one out either. I'm not interested in playing the role of an ad hoc therapist for someones sexual frustrations or fantasies.

It could just be a group of outliers, I don't know. These guys are far right because we have conversations outside of the game world but they also all happen to be very well read guys who enjoy roleplaying for the sake of roleplaying.

I'm not saying this is a law, I'm just saying that from the experiences I've had in my games I would rather take my chances with guys on the far right.

Luckily, my more regular groups don't really bring any politics to the table either. Considering where I live most of those groups are probably center-left in general, though I don't really pry about it, that's rude as fuck.

But I've been playing D&D (fuck, let's be real, I've been DMing, I don't think I've played a PC in half a decade. Fuck everyone) for a long ass time now. Long enough to know that there's an equal number of overly political shitheads on every inch of the spectrum.

>this gender fluid nonsense that is so firmly occupied in peoples minds

It's really not in everyone's minds. In fact, I don't think I have EVER come across this specific issue in a real life game. Not once. I've had people who feel uncomfortable with sexist societies existing, who will generally shut up about it when you explain that this isn't YOUR fantasy, it's a fantasy world designed to provide conflict for a bunch of players, but I've never had anyone get uppity about gender fluidity shit. Not once.

It's mostly an internet phenomenon that is blown out of proportion by how echo-chambery the web can be.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing is going to be part and parcel of playing a roleplaying game now. D&D 5e introduced pro-fag, pro-tranny language to try to bring sexuality and gender identity inclusiveness into the game, so now if you don't allow sexuality to feature in your game, they can turn to the rulebook and say "look! you're oppressing my character!" Merals wanted to virtue signal, and get some pussy from the writers at Mary Sue, and as a result he left us all out to dry. Hope she was worth it, Mike.

Mix this with the hordes of casuals flooding into the hobby, and roleplaying games are basically ruined. Skyrim and Dark Scrolls players are flooding in, "memes" have become an actual part of real-life conversation, and hordes of roasties join up to acquire beta orbiters. I've seen pathetic, limp-wristed nu males buying snacks and soda for the woman at the table, buying them miniatures, even an entire collection of the books. There ought to be some kind of law against taking advantage of the mentally disabled like that, but I digress. The game has become all about welcoming new players. Even requesting a player use real dice, is considered "gatekeeping" now (see pic related). The rules have been dumbed down to attract new players, and most RPG players (including a good 90% of /tg/) have been brainwashed into thinking the hobby will die without a constant influx of new blood. Sort of like how European governments convinced their citizens that their countries would die out if they didn't import hordes of Muslim immigrants. See how well that worked out for them? Thing is, the hobby isn't dead, never has been dead, and probably never will be dead until they invent a computer that can do everything a TTRPG does. This whole scare tactic is just marketing, and you all sucked it up like shit through a straw.

There's literally no point in banning digital rollers. It has zero effect on the game.

He probably means real political issues, dude. Realpolitik being something that happens in-game is very different from some snowflake getting upset because he thinks the elves are a parallel for Native Americans and he finds any mention of them abrasive to his worldview.

Speaking of realpolitik, has anyone ever tried running a game of D&D while another group of players decide the moves of an in-setting war via a game of Diplomacy? I'd recommend it, it's fun as hell.

They can easily be programmed to give false rolls. Not to mention they cannot easily be seen by the rest of the group. No, it is much easier to abuse something with aspects I can't see (code) as opposed to something I can see (dice, and I know how to spot weighted dice).

Phones can be really useful for stuff like conveying secret dialogue without disrupting the flow of the session.

Besides, having a phone doing some rolling doesn't mean the player will be using it to text all the time or constantly looking at it.

But what if I actually like those beliefs? I've seen the opposite, and (to be blunt) they look like trash. I'd honestly rather be right-wing and conservative.

Gay people fill me with disgust, because there's something inherently wrong with them, like people who are attracted to little children or animals. Meanwhile, I really dislike Muslims because their culture is so alien and they keep pressing to institute Sharia law. The immigrant flood is also a direct threat to my economic well-being, so I hate them too.

Your problem, not theirs. 'Wrong' is a stupid term to use here anyway, because it implies that biology is moral, which it isn't. They're not even incorrect, as nature is neither correct nor incorrect in anything, it just is. You probably don't understand this because you're enslaved by a good-evil dichotomy that, while comfortable, has no basis in reality.

>I really dislike Muslims because their culture

Their culture isn't really that alien. Hell, their values align more to yours than the average leftist. You have the same views on family and homosex, for example.

I dislike Islam as a doctrine for the same reasons that I dislike most organized religions, even if they are probably some of the most interesting subjects of study on Earth. But disliking a doctrine with a billion different branches is a stupid reason to dislike someone personally, especially since the average religious person almost always puts pragmatism before their faith.

If someone asked me "what is your character's sex", and I said "male," you wouldn't say a damn thing even though that's equally irrelevant in most D&D games according to you.

But if I instead answer, I dunno, "intersex" or something, suddenly it's a huge thing for you even if there's no plan to ever make it come up. You are ASSUMING that my intention must be to "shove it in people's faces" based purely on the fact that I don't want to play a male character, but I don't want to do anything other than kill monsters and take their stuff.

Firstly, 'u' is not how we post on 4chan.

Secondly, that guy said nothing about it being the first thing you know about the character.

I would be pretty concerned if the first thing a player wants to tell about the character is that they're hermaphrodite. But it is kinda silly that people will spazz out over seeing it on a character sheet. I mean, fuck, herms have been a thing in fantasy and mythology. I've got no inclination to play one, but if someone wants to see if they can pull off some hermaphroditic species convincingly, whatever, let them try.

Not so for elves, which has been a long running thing about their androgyny. In truth, only the nearest human races in a game would have sexual dimorphism you could recognize on sight. That was outright a thing in LotR that non-dwarves could not tell the genders apart visually, and elves looked very much similar.

But my church pastor, the most moral man I've ever known, and my family both believe that homosexuals are tools of the devil. They've guided me well all my life, and so I trust them. I'm pretty sure I'm righteous to shun faggots.

I know my cousin claimed she was in love with this other girl, but she came crying home when her parents threatened to disinherit her. She ultimately married a doctor, and has two kids. If you asked her about 'being in love with that other girl', she'd say she didn't know what she was thinking.

And because you apparently don't have eyes. Yes your sex is generally what most people will know about you visually. You know. For when you interact with people. In this game about roleplaying.

>only the nearest human races in a game would have sexual dimorphism you could recognize on sight.
And yet you yourself state that elves and dwarves can tell the difference within their respective races. Are you expecting to never run into another member of your race now too? Sounds like you're expecting to pile on to the list of incredibly rare demographics to seem special even harder.

Of course we could look at the other extreme. Beastfolk without such sexual dimorphism. If you're playing one of those who is also a 4 word gender. That's no longer a red flag, that's a good bye.

>It's almost like you jumped to the rarest thing possible in an attempt to pretend you're interesting.

Or maybe I just felt like playing a hermaphrodite for the same reason I felt like playing a sorcerer or a halfling or Lawful Neutral or Sage or whatever. You presume there must be some kind of huge motive behind it, but the choice of sex carries no more inherent weight than the choice of race, class, alignment, or background. Hell, it actually carries LESS weight in D&D since unlike those previous four choices, it has essentially zero mechanical effect.

That happens far less than you think, because there is only so many H-1B visas to be had.
And what you also didn't say is that those visa workers generally work harder, longer, and achieve more success than the local talent, on top of having a fresh pool of ideas and mindset to add to the company.

False equivalence, the pedophile is taking advantage of and damaging another human being. The homosexual is not.

Get your shitty as pretend logic out of my face, you manchild.

>Muslims may align with the right on some values, but do not align on many key issues like women's freedoms or their expansionist tendencies

A lot of the right, especially the far right, also believes in curtailing women's freedoms and having expansionist tendencies in regards to national or religious institutions. Really though, the more important point was that the average religious person will usually put pragmatism before their faith. Disliking Islam or elements of Islam is fine, but hating all Muslims is retarded.

>Immigrants are a threat because you could be fired to be replaced by a lower cost foreign worker

And that makes them hateworthy? They're just human beings trying to get by. I can't believe a Chinaman of all people is getting riled about this, undercutting people with cheap labour is China's entire thing.

Get your government to enforce a rigid minimum pay rate that can't be tweaked or lowered rather than whining about people that are trying to survive. Your enemies here are the people willing to exploit cheap labour with no thought for morality or consequence.

Uh, no. I came into this conversation when some Anon, presumably you, said, "bringing so much attention to your character's sexuality, in a game that will have nothing to do with that sexuality. Is kind of wack." Right here, >>54387040

I'm pointing out that writing down "hermaphrodite" on a character sheet is no more nor less bringing attention to a character's sex than writing down "male" or "female". It's just a word, written down exactly where it's supposed to go on the character sheet.

All the focus has been the result of a hypothetical DM who's looking over the character sheets and is flipping his shit over the hermaphrodite character when not a damn thing was done to draw attention to it.

Although I realize now that I misread the post I was responding to, which was about sexuality rather than biological sex. Mea culpa. Even having said that, there's plenty of ways for other sexualities to come up in a game without the player being the one to bring focus to it.

There's nothing intrinsically morally wrong with an adult and a teenager having sex.

The real problem is virtue signaling. Everyone is so terrified about including anything 'controversial' that they blend everything down to a non-offensive brown goo.

People can be products of their times and upstanding even if they do things our modern view considers wrong.

"I'm doing this for your own good." Is just moral policing That allows other people to shove their ideas down someone else's throat under the guise of progress. You might as well browse Tumblr because that's exactly what they do to.

>I run with the implicit understanding that everyone's heterosexual

That's not inherently wrong. Statistically speaking most people are mostly or entirely heterosexual, due to biological imperative if nothing else.

>Crossplayers and homosexuals creep me out

Hmm, you wouldn't like me, then - I'm a straight white biological male, and always have been and never felt any serious desire to be anything else, but I usually roll up female characters. Dunno why. Possibly it's a video-game holdover (if I'm gonna stare at an ass for 20 hours, it might as well be one I find attractive). Might just be because when I roll up a character, I'm specifically trying to be something I'm not.

Regardless, this attitude IS kind of inherently wrong. It's just another attempt to create a "safe space", not really that different from those people that 4chan regularly laughs at for trying to escape from reality by not confronting opposition to ideas they don't like. Reality hurts. Deal with it.

If you have legitimate homophobia - that is, irrational fear at the thought of homosexuality - see a psychiatrist. Otherwise, grow up. I'm not saying that you have to LIKE homosexuality, I'm saying that it shouldn't have such a psychological grip over you. Distaste towards homosexuality should come with the same "baggage" as distaste towards, I dunno, legumes, or cheese. I don't like cheese (unless it's been baked into something, like a pizza, and even then I don't like a lot). But I don't think that someone is destroying the fabric of Western society when he or she eats it.

I said they were wrong. Those are all crimes where the damage is generally obvious and provable.

What I've been getting at, and what you've consistently failed to understand, is that it boils down to certainty. The moment you draw a line in the sand and say "this is what society needs whether you like it or not" you become a problem. You have stopped being rational, and you have become tribal.

Having ideas is fine, insisting that their what the world NEEDS is when you run into trouble.

>Why

Hmm, I was a tad unclear - I meant to refer to the Anon saying that he'd ask crossplayers or players of homosexual characters (or, presumably, actual homosexual players) to leave the table.

Regardless, I did outline why - it's jut another attempt to create a "safe space" where none of your beliefs are ever challenged even in a passive way. 4chan laughs at people who get triggered by people objecting to third-wave feminism or someone giving a speech about the Holocaust and need to retreat to "safe spaces" where there's pillows and cuddly toys and no one challenging their beliefs, and yet you don't see why it's equally absurd to have people who don't conform to your exacting standards leave the table even if they aren't actively doing anything to you?

Like, it's one thing if a player is going on and on about their characters homosexuality. That's just a player trying to drag everyone into their magical realm. But if it's as simple as

>DM: "The tavern wench tries to seduce you."
>Player: "Well, she's barking up the wrong tree because my character is gay."

Then the problem is with the player who is triggered by the idea that some characters might not be homosexual.

>and according to what standards?

Real life. Real life is full of things you don't like. Adulthood is learning to live with that.

Now, like I said, maybe the Anon had legitimate homophobia, in the sense that they actually possess an irrational, psychological fear of homosexuality or even the thought of homosexuality. In that case, it's the Anon's job to see a psychiatrist and get that dealt with if possible, the same as an arachnophobe would be expected to seek professional help to deal with his or her fear of spiders, or an agoraphobe go and deal with his or her fear of open spaces. You do not cater to your phobias, you try and overcome them.

There are no political views which are inherently annoying or wrong, and it's far, far harder than you might imagine to make a game that's so inherently political it's impossible to play it without stepping on some ideological landmine (whether you're talking Blue Rose or Eclipse Phase or MYFAROG or whatever it is you feel like getting angry at). The only element you should be wary of is stupid players, and the solution to that is not to play with stupid people. I refuse to buy into the stereotype that all roleplayers are autistic shut-ins. Odds are you have plenty enough friends to play with, you really don't need to gamble on idiots from the internet.

I remember the last time I tried that thing, and I shit you not, you could make a fucking comedy sketch out of the ten minutes I spent in that chatroom before realizing I was out of there and never coming back. The whole spectrum of politically minded retardation just blasted at me like the A/C when opening the living room door on a California bungalow. You had that one guy who spent half the time repeatedly asking whether niggers got INT penalties (presumably because nobody laughed at his wit the first 17 times and he had to make sure we got why it was hilarious), on the other side of the figurative room was some dude complaining about how his roleplaying abilities depend on being able to create a fucking catgirl he can "identify" with, and the last one (I wish I was making this shit up) actually said "Do I have to be religious to be a cleric? Because I can't even begin explaining to you how much I hate religion."

Wasn't there a research once that said something along the lines of "people don't notice politics so long as they agree with them"? Like, it was something about how when you watch a movie or read a book or whatever and you agree with the politics, you don't find it to be "political" because the political elements just feel "natural" to you, so they blend into the background. "Well, duh, of course all Muslims are terrorists/gay people deserve rights/atheists are stupid/capitalists are evil/etc., what's next, the sky is blue?". It's only when you encounter something you don't agree with that suddenly the politics detector lights up and it becomes forceful and controversial and so on.

I think it could explain a lot of that shit on /tg/. For all I know, there are guys reading into the old D&D books or whatever getting super angry about the depiction of dwarfs or something, it's just that right now the current is that Blue Rose's politics strike us as out of place instead of Traveller's.

I don't know much about Blue Rose but I have to say that it's mechanics, the True20 system are one of the more functional takes on d20.
Something like True20 with Fantasy Craft's feats, a cleaned up magic system and some of the crunch in particular places straightened out and you would have a really solid game.

It's uses a 5 point damage track rather than HP and BAB determines attack and defence. I'v had some really fast, well exectured fights using that system. It also has a toolkit for creating new classes and races and shit.
The side effect of this is that it's really easy to see how the rules work and come up with new houserules that fit easily into the game. It's a weird kind of all the way around from 3e to earlier editions, the game has enough mechanics it goes back to being intuitive to houserule.

It's not an amazing game by any means but it works and it's an interesting take on an old formula so it's worth a glance at least

>It's ok for games to have discrimination. Just because a fictional world has discrimination doesn't make the world's creator racist.

Discrimination is obviously unpleasant for the people being discriminated against, though—and if the groups being discriminated against are also real-life groups, it's likely that a player of one of those real-life groups will want to play as a member of the same group ingame. Is it fair to force a woman to deal with extra ingame barriers to play as a character of their gender when a man doesn't have to? I'm not saying that discrimination should never, ever exist in a fantasy settings, but there are issues to weigh.

But yes, the existence of sexism, racism, etc. in a fantasy setting obviously doesn't indicate creator bigotry on its own, and anyone who says otherwise is a moron. (If it's being glorified, that's obviously a bit different.)

>The plight of intersex folks is not something I include because it doesn't make for good adventure fiction.

Well... you could include it as a background element; for example, a major figure in one of the raided groups (or one of the barbarian tribes!) could be intersex. Would it come up ingame? Not necessarily, but there's nothing wrong with throwing in a detail like that every now and then.

Black religion is very alien to white religion. You see a far greater trend towards wish fulfillment and instant gratification. They in general are much more flashy in service but rarely will they self sacrifice.

>>54388360
My main issue with using AIDS/HIV as a measuring stick against homosexuality is that lesbian women are actually LESS likely to acquire AIDS/HIV than straight women, since lesbian sex involves much less bodily fluid exchange than straight sex or gay sex.

Basically, if "only the people least likely to get HIV should be allowed to have sex" is your main argument, then the only people who should ever get some are lesbians.

>and pedohphilia rates.

If I might quote the National Academy of Sciences, "the distinction between homosexual and heterosexual child molesters relies on the premise that male molesters of male victims are homosexual in orientation. Most molesters of boys do not report sexual interest in adult men, however" (National Research Council, 1993, p. 143).

The problem is, basically, that you're assuming that the problem is a binary one, when in fact the issue with pedophiles seems to be more than pedophiles are attracted to an age rather than a gender (in this case, children). In essence, if you must connect sexuality to gender, pedophiles can be said to see children as a third "gender" to which they are attracted (though this is a clunky way of wording things).

Also rather notably, 1 in 5 girls appears to be the victim of molestation, compared to 1 in 20 boys, according to the National Center for Victims of Crime.

I'm willing to bet this is the case in most of these scenarios where politics shut down a game. People are used to being in their insular friend groups where everyone agrees with each other, the moment someone with a different opinion comes along they hone in on it and won't let go.

Some people can ignore it and still have fun, other people let it fester until it ruins the game.

If you're equating LGBTQ acceptance and other liberal values with bigotry, or just calling them "problematic", I'm not a fan of that. I can't be sure you're doing that, though.

Biggest example of this that comes to my mind is The Freak from Unknown Armies. Dude(ette?) has been a major player in the metaplot all the way since the very first core rulebook, and he/she/it/whatever is LITERALLY the living avatar of gender transgression. They became so synonymous with the very concept of gender transgression it GAVE THEM SUPERPOWERS.

And nobody ever complains about The Freak. And frankly, some of the time I really can't say if it's because Unknown Armies was all that well written, or if because it's so old and valued it's considered some kind of untouchable holy cow and if we saw a game doing that nowadays there'd be three threads a day just to complain about it.

The "Freak" part is less about the genderbending and more about the extreme self harm. In case you aren't familiar with the setting, there are generally two ways of getting magic: fitting perfectly into an archetypal role and thus channeling power from the collective unconscious, or latching onto some kind of philosophical paradox so powerful it focuses your will to go against reality. Most people can't do both at the same time. The Freak managed to find a balance between channeling gender transgression and pulling magic out of the philosophical paradox of self harm (to be able to destroy something is to have power over it>the ultimate power is to be able to destroy yourself). The Freak's got fucking meat hooks chained all over, pulls them out to drink the magic that flows from the self inflicted wounds. It's freaky.

Oh, sure. At the same time, you seem to feel very strongly about this, so you might want to acknowledge your (potential) bias by asking yourself "is this actually forced?" when you perceive something as being so, but other people don't or there's clearly room for debate.

The far right is a boogeyman. Aside from prison and biker gangs, nobody goes around on the street lynching niggers.

However, there are far leftists who go out on the street and burn down homes and shops and attack people in the name of leftism.

The media is trying to paint anyone who doesn't believe in postmodernist "gender spectrum" or "no such thing as race" nonsense as an aryan brotherhood KKK member.

Drawing attention to their cause, most likely. A political scientist named Gilad Wolfsfled (IIRC) wrote an interesting book about this referring to what he jokingly called "the front door", "the back door" and "the side door" to media attention. The front door is to be what he called "naturally relevant", i.e. something like a major politician or celebrity. The media will forever seek to cover what's interesting, because that's just its job, and being important (or seen as such) makes you automatically interesting. If you can't be important though, you have to take the "back door", which is to be shockingly weird. That's when you see people lighting themselves on fire, dressing up in weird costumes, stripping naked or saying shit so provocative they know the media would latch onto the scandal. The risk here is that it's painfully easy for your actual cause to be lost in the more interesting theatrics you pulled off to get on TV. In Wolfsfeld's jargon, it closes off the front door. If you strip naked to get the media to pay you attention, next time you're going to have to strip naked and juggle babies if you don't want it to move on to the guy dressed up as a polar bear.

(the side door is being what he referred to as a "natural victim", or someone whose very circumstances garner sympathy, but that's both very circumstantial and irrelevant here)

There's no cartoon physics rules in Ponyfinder: Dawn of the Fifth Age, it's mostly made to just add horse player characters into regular 5e games and thus it just adds character options, items, and spells to the game. If you have /mlp/eople friends (or are one yourself) then I highly recommend buying the first book in print (if you're the kinda guy who likes to own psychical books), then getting the others in PDF.

It's also called Ponyfinder because it was originally made for Pathfinder, but it was given the full 5e treatment.

At its most basic, it tends to lead to a rejection of new ideas due to their origins. While I hesitate to bring them up for obvious reasons, a good example might be the Nazi's Aryan philosophy. The emphasis on "pure German thought and ideology" - i.e., German tribalism - lead them to a number of stupid and avoidable mistakes, most notably the reject of "Jewish physics" in favor of "Deutsche Physik". Bluntly, this meant rejecting the innovations of Albert Einstein and others because he/they was a Jew.

The result was that attempt as a German atomic bomb was pretty much stillborn.
>>
>>54389727

>Once you put yourself in the "I'm doing this for the betterment of the world camp" you became an easily manipulated dipshit

>Being a tribalistic dumbfuck is never a good idea.

The people you condemn for trying to "better" the world in their own image are a completely different breed than the tribalists that you condemn. Any "tribalist" would only be concerned with their more immediate and relatable group (race, ethnicity, ideological group, class, etc). They wouldn't be concerned that much with the well being of people outside of their own groups, and why should they?

Why should somebody of one group be concerned with people who have completely different values, class histories, ethnic/religious/racial identities and general lineage? Why should one be concerned with the welfare of people with completely different foundations simply because they both happen to be the same species or live on the same planet?

>inb4 empathy is what makes us human you conspiracy theorist
>>
>>54389863
This relies on other groups not being overtly or (more importantly) covertly tribalistic as well. Otherwise you can and will be taken advantage of.

My group is very politically diverse. Only one person is really in-your-face about it though, and brings stuff up. He's the only one who has ever started a bad sort of political discussion, because his style is very condescending and he always does that thing where the other side of the debate MUST be a fool. The rest of us have pretty nice discussions even when we disagree.

The other people are all pretty reserved, even if they do have stronger beliefs.

I jump around on the spectrum depending on the specific topic so I'm usually able to at least relate to people of a wide variety of beliefs, same with most of the people in my group, so politics never really causes strife in my group.

I think it has to do with maturity. It doesn't matter what your beliefs are necessarily, but if you're mature, you can have a civil difference of opinion and no one really gets upset. There are actually several different ways to run a country, and people identify with one or the other for various reasons, and remembering this helps a lot with keeping politics from being a negative to gaming.

Because having a campaign about a political topic can be fun, and it's only bad if players can't separate real life from the game.

You can have strong beliefs without being combative, to summarize my thoughts.

The problem isn't sex or degeneracy. The actual problem is one dimensional people who play one dimensional characters. When a trannys whole identity is wrapped up in the fact they are a tranny or a gay person has to tell everyone they are gay at every opportunity. Hell even straight people who are don't want anything but straight people around them. Also it isn't a right vs. left thing. It boils down to the fring groups that piss and moan the loudest that make us look bad. SJWs and whatever the buzz word Alt-right means now.

Well, for me it was simple.

The players of the Diplomacy game were the previous group to have completed a D&D campaign in that setting. Two of them were still technically playing their old characters, as they had risen to an appropriate rank in the last game.

I think the biggest thing would be to make sure that the players doing the Diplomacy side of things are familiar with and have a stake in the setting.

Tribalism will be a problem unless EVERYONE believes in it in the region, and they do not need to interact with others in order to be successful or stable.

- freedom of association (nobody has to listen to you, and non-governmental platforms are free to ban you if they consider you disruptive)

The difference is probably that you played with people who have far right views but don't let it affect everything they do. Far Left wingers are also capable of this. Unfortunately, /tg/ games are rife with autism. Whether that be right wing autism or left wing autism.

I'm not white, I'm "hispanic"don't tell /int/ tho

the rowdy group of people I'm talking about is a bunch of guys like me from hispanoamerica, we are living in Spain right now

I'm really fucking disappointed and angry that you think the best reason for someone to identify with a group or to agree with its views would be race. I know it doesn't matter shit, since its the internet, but not cool man

I feel like you haven't met actual far-right people if these are your sensitivities.

>After all, in the end this is about having fun with friends.
Which is why I don't get threads like this.
Do you need to exactly agree with your friends in order to get along with them? In my group, I've watched the alt-right dude and the black nationalist have debates over beer about the intents of the Founding Fathers and how their own personal lives influenced the enforcement and application of the Bill of Rights. The republican, democrat, and centrist usually all have different ideas on how to resolve situations that come up in game based on their personal world views, and it's not a huge deal.

Anon, you aren't American, so I'll field this.
A lot of the groupings in America are absolutely based on race, not on region or nationality as they are for hispanics or Europeans. The separations that you would hedge on being based on where you are from, in America, are almost always racial in fundamental tone, and even still, the "extreme right" in America is not the "extreme right" in Europe or South America. It is it's own breed.

Yeah, there are too many people who think that their politics must be forced upon others. That's one of the reasons why tumblr-shit and /pol/-shit usually gets a similar reception. It's not about what the views are, it's about how they're presented.

People often talk in American contexts like the previous poster said. The USA has an unhealthy obsession with race that you won't see elsewhere. Sure, other places have racism, but it's not quite the same.

Right now, we are playing the Dresden Files rpg, and one of the players is playing a muslim wizard and basing everything he does on mathematics and Arabian occultism as sanctioned by the Quran, and dealing with the issues of being a practicing Arab muslim (wizard) in day to day life. She grumbles that at least she doesn't need to worry about getting pulled out of line at airports, because wizards and high tech do not mix.
I couldn't see that being possible with some of the types being described in this thread.

I live in the Bible Belt, and all the white people I know who are super religious are Prosperity Gospel nutjobs who think the rich are all loved by God and that poor people are all wicked sinners.
