Because 5e is more popular, more mainstream, and thus filled with "normies" who spend less time tolerating weeaboos and underaged kids.

Pathfinder, as the less popular system, is more niche and has it's own insular community, which leads to a different kind of cancer.

Take that answer or leave it.
I know I'm replying to a bait thread anyway.

>>54572297
It probably has a lot to do with ease of entry alongside rules encouraging animesque character design in some cases. Pathfinder is an entry level RPG being based on D&D and had a lot of players due the dissatisfaction with 4e. Once 5e came out it pulled back in D&D purists and fans of rules lite systems with classic fantasy elements but didn't appeal to anime fans love of the flash and flair. I could be completely wrong though.

>>54572297
>Pathfinder
>Anime and waifus
The common denominator here is autism and being socially inept.

>>54572297
5e is made for the mainstream which means the people who don't like anime and would normally be watching reality TV and football are playing it. Mostly because they saw a celebrity do it and then their friends did it and so on. Basically its so easy and simple (And vague) that nobody can fuck it up and when they do the people playing don't care enough to call it out. So proportionally less niche interests like anime in it.

Pathfinder's more numbers based, allows more precise character creation which draws in people with weird interests aka weebs. Lets you make your anime waifu/self insert without much trouble and gives you the options to do it about however you want which is an appeal to fat nerds like us. Being free on the SRD helps too.

>>54572297
>"anime" players with anime characters
What does that even mean?

>>54572755
They also have kitsune and other weeb races as primary non-LA races.

>>54572622
That goes for any flavor of D&D, not specifically PF.

I love these threads.

>>54573532
They don't have LA at all, which is somehow both stupid and sensible at the same time. Humans are arguably better than most races but they never needed to take a level of Human for their benefits. No reason shit like a gargoyle would.

Every paedophile I've ever met playing TTRPGS has been a Pathfinder player.

so 3.5 is for degenerates? im in

>>54574703
For the record, are we talkin' meme pedophilia that describes people who like chicks with small tits or actual pedophiles who keep pictures of lolis on their phones because "she's actually 9001 years old so it's okay."

>>54574831
I know a dude who got arrested for CP... Pathfinder was his preferred system

>>54574827
No that's pathfinder. I think most people that didn't want to be a fox-person just skipped from 3.5 to 5e

>>54574831
The latter. I don't know what the fuck "meme paedophilia" is, nor do I want to.

It's pretty much just an insult that people throw around if you don't like big tits for some reason.

That has nothing to do with being an "actual pedophile."

>>54575404
Keep telling yourself that, degenerate scum

>>54575404
If they weren't pedos then they wouldn't feel the need to defend the fact that they spank it to an underaged girl with "well, she's not AKCHULEY underaged."

It's the same shit as faggots who feel the need to go on about how straight they are.

>>54575404
Pedophilia is pedophilia, regardless if you're a child molester.

This is the same as, say, someone who jerks off to shit; they're still a scatfag, even if they don't take baths in septic tanks.

Because PF has actual rules for classes, races and other anime options.
5e only has monk, but so does PF anyway and monk players are always red flags in any system.

It implies a tremendous deviance in what should be normal.

Don't the developers of Pathfinder rabidly hate Monk and shit on him whenever possible, nerfing him because "oh that's not realistic even though we have fucking wizards muh verisimilitude" and not allowing him to do things that actual real life humans have proven are possible with proper training?

>>54575683
Don't be mean to the pedo, it's all fine as long as you don't act on it in real life.

One of the monk archetypes is not!DBZ.

>>54575700
Yeah, that's true, there's no reason to pick monk. It's just that some of its archetypes and things he can do are still pretty anime(though I'll admit not to the degree of say the magical girl archetype) and the class only attracts the worst types of players in either games.

Convincing children to be professional victims hurts them. I hate rapists more than you do, but more than half the "rapists" you condemn aren't rapists at all, except as defined by a law.

>The law is the law
Laws change.

>>54572755
Because those type of people will be on roll20

>>54575920
>but more than half the "rapists" you condemn aren't rapists at all, except as defined by a law.
The law is the law. What rape is defined by is what it is.
Now, whether it's a GOOD definition is up to debate.

>Laws change.
They do, but the law is the law. If something is illegal, it is still illegal even if it was previously legal, or if it will be legal in the future.

This some quality bait, even better than OP's.

>>54575585
Maybe not from a legal perspective, under the condition that you never ever ever act on it or handle it, but from a societal, social, or mental/emotional perspective, it's still kinda messed up.

They fixed it at least enough to put it on par with Fighter with Unchained Monk, regular BAB progression d10 HD, and made some of the more useless skills optional and gave more options.

>>54577309
>from a societal, social, or mental/emotional perspective, it's still kinda messed up.

Not really.

>>54577603
It is because most people in society think it is. It doesn't have to be, but in modern society, it's considered messed up. Maybe one day it'll change (it certainly wasn't always this exact way).

>>54577623
Social norms should ultimately be ignored as long as you're not out in public.

>>54577676
Wrong

>>54577676
So you're saying I can go to your house and shit in your living room since I should ignore social norms that tell me that I need to shit in a toilet?

It's the art style of pathfinder that draws them in. It resembles anime so they gravitate to it

>>54572297
Pathfinder has options that draw directly from anime, and animesque characters in its setting.

because both have "mild" magical realming in them that and pathfinder is basically an anime system.

>>54572297
I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck this opening post is even saying? Is it talking about artstyle? Presentation? Is the player a character from a cartoon from Asia?

I actually wasn't baiting I was just giving my understanding of the situation so allow me to explain myself. When I say Pathfinder is entry level I mean it's based off of D&D which is the largest and most common RPG around which means that newer players are likely to come into contact with it at some point. Also I realize 5e is not that rules lite in comparison to other systems however comparing it to just other versions of D&D it is significantly more rules lite than 3.PF or 4e. (I wouldn't really know for 2e because I honestly never played besides Baldur's Gate)

>>54578913
Pathfinder is what you GM if you want to have kitsune and catfolk making up the party.

Pic related was from a recent official Paizo blog that adds a monstergirl race, and this isn't an unusual thing for Pathfinder to add.

Pathfinder books cast their net very wide to try and attract everyone.

>>54575825
The law is, often enough, bullshit. That's why a person is tried by a jury of his peers, who can look at the situation and make a decision.

>>54572297
what's funny about this is like, multiple characters in the 5e campaign i'm in have anime portraits, and we have no less than 2 lolis.

>>54575705
I mean, that's actually less fucked up when you think about it. Fucking a child can screw them up for life, whereas corpses, while revolting, can't really be traumatized.

>>54575723
Sunsoul monks were literally AD&D 2nd ed. Back then, Gygax's only interaction with the Orient was through shitty toys, not anime.

>>54572442
That's weird. GURPS games on Roll20 typically don't have anime bullshit, despite being the easiest system to do extreme anime bullshit.

Shit there's a perk or some shit that gives you a bonus to defend if you're half naked. There's scores of ways to get a tiny anime girl with a big ass sword, too.

>>54584572
probably because it happened and then was revoked when australia was used as an object example of awful government.

thissss

>>54584576
GURPS is too complex for the anime brainlets.

>>54584576
GURPS is too difficult for your average tabletop players to grasp (especially if they started with D&D) and most of them don't want to actually put in effort to create a character.

Which is weird when you consider that 3.PF is about as complex as GURPS and yet people only really have issues when it comes to GURPS.

Go figure.

>>54584576
GURPS is also pretty old. Back when a lot of us started with GURPS anime was just catching on in the U.S.

>>54584462
>That's why a person is tried by a jury of his peers, who can look at the situation and make a decision.
Based on the law; Jury Nullification is the worst thing to ever come out of the judicial system.
The law is the law, and shold not be subject to the whims of random citizens.
Bullshit or not, it is the law, and all citizens are obligated to uphold it.

Pathfinder is less popular than 5E?

>>54572297
D&D is lighter, and overall its character creation options are less in terms of mechanics, but it's more grounded and less flairy in its approach, and it's tough to break the system completely or make godlike characters.

Pathfinder is heavier and more restrictive in terms of roleplaying, but it allows for far more mechanical customization and for some very powerful and gamewinning builds, with flair and over-the-top mechanics and abilities.

Pathfinder has more content overall, but some would argue there's less variety due to the amount of bloat and power creep that it has.

D&D is lightweight and in many ways a superior game to play, but it's lacking in character options and in particular class archetypes don't feel different enough.

D&D is more accessible due to its familiar license and small number of books. At most you'll need two books to play D&D, and one works fine. For Pathfinder you need several books to play effectively, and these books often go out of date from new editions. Both systems are full priced.

Pathfinder is being phased out for Starfinder, its scifi equivalent, while D&D is continuing to get expansions. Pathfinder is much older than D&D (5e).

At the end of the day it comes down to your personal taste, but don't let /tg/ fool you. I've seen plenty of weaboos play D&D in real life, and plenty of non-weaboos play Pathfinder.
