Gygax and his chud writings are one of the primary reasons I outright reject "The Thermian Argument" when it comes to how things must be just because that was how the fiction (emphasis: FICTION) was written previously. I don't just apply it to D&D, but D&D is certainly where I actively reject it in my own campaigns.

I've had to deal with some Thermian Argumenters in the past, online but also occasionally in person, saying that anything in the lore or the story's narration that has horrid ideology and/or political messaging in a piece of fiction isn't necessarily "condoning" it, yet it can not be changed or rewritten or retconned because that was how the fiction was already written. Fuck that.

Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
