People keep saying that and never, ever produce the evidence, so I doubt it. I think it's a mass hallucination on your guys' part.
Look, if a bunch of people whose MO is organized stalking, harassment and slander of women and POC tell me it's true, I believe them.

It's particularly ironic when certain posters who talk about how much they want to be able to make jokes have real problems recognizing obvious ones.

It's hilarious because I've been posting jokes in threads (including this one) satirizing the angry black stereotype for ages and then they get mad me because they think I'm 100% serious.

It's doubly hilarious when it's in a thread where people are complaining that they want to be able to post edgy jokes about race.

More scientific racism is still racism. I think it's okay to start with a baseline of "you can't decide that all members of a race are bad, even with numbers to back it up." I mean we're talking about the kind of poo poo that's been debunked for decades. There have to be some ground rules. But at the same time, it's dumb to not be able to discuss why those kinds of statistics exist, differences in arrest and conviction stats, etc. etc. Those are valid political issues that go beyond "it's because they have a criminal nature." I don't know, it's difficult to have a forum that allows for all sorts of political discussion without it becoming a breeding ground for the more "acceptable" kinds of racism that groups like the KKK have moved toward. At the same time, you can't just assume that everyone is arguing in bad faith or trying to infiltrate the forums or some poo poo. Yes, we've seen that happen on other sites, but there's no reason to think it would happen here, because it tends to happen in places with lax moderation.

One obvious solution would be to have a conservative mod. And I don't mean conservative in the sense of "mainstream liberal that other liberals accuse of being a secret Republican." But I don't know who the good candidates are because I don't follow D&D closely enough.

I think it's why I used the Muslim example. I know a lot of people who like the people but hate the culture, and are willing to debate in good faith. I also know people who... uh, well you know.

You hit my concern exactly though. I'm worried that someone will show up with bullshit info and try to present it under the guise of "hey I'm just asking questions! I'm not attacking anyone!" and then everyone has to kind of go along with it. Granted that could be hilarious in its own way, but probably only for like two minutes.

More conservative viewpoints would be cool - it would at least make things more interesting. But I'm sure you see the worry on the whole "blanket statements" thing here.

Yeah, it can just be tough to tell when someone starts being like "blacks do more crimes!!!"

Then engage them in good faith and see if it leads towards suggesting policy or suggesting genocide.

I have to say I haven't actually seen on D+D the kind of Oppression Olympics SJW madness that a lot of people seem to be satirising here? Or at least never to the extent that I'd actually think it was the dominant culture. Again this is where some examples of specific bans/probes would have been useful in making us know exactly what we're debating the existence of and whether it qualifies as SJW Gone Too Far.

[I full understand how dumb and self-important this sounds] I'm fairly prominent in D&D, and while most threads are only besieged by about 3 posters (most reregs), theres a few problem threads that have been mentioned ITT.

While the problem posters usually get shouted down, theres not much a new reader can do if they wander into a Trap Thread, where the boundaries of D&D blur, text turns into images, and the chaos of tribalism reigns.

I think there it's the difference between claiming black people are more likely to suffer from circumstances that lead them to desperate actions, and claiming that black people have some sort of inherent defect in their base nature that lead them to desperate actions.

One is something that can be argued about existing and changed with proper political policy, and the other doesn't lead much of anywhere but discussing if they are worthy of obliterating or not. The first is not racist, the second is. Thus the second should not be allowed both because it's raw bigotry and because it isn't good for debate or discussion.

Yeah this is the distinction I was hoping would be made here. Thank you
