You know, sometimes people don’t realize there is a line that they’ve crossed. Sometimes it’s a big, glaring neon one, other times it’s only barely there in the sand, but it’s a line nonetheless and it’s deserving of attention.

So, let me describe the line being crossed here.

Sure, it’s an independently-made, fetish-fuel, likely poorly-written module made for d20 systems, presumably under the OGL license for the sake of exposure. It’s also not exactly tasteful, but then again, how many people are actually going to play something called “Tournament of Rapists”? It’s clearly targeting an extremely small audience, yet because Jessica Price finds it offensive to her particular tastes, she feels she has the right to demand it be removed from the public entirely.

In case you missed it, that’s some pretty strong entitlement coming from someone who almost daily flings the word around at people she disagrees with.

Now, sure, there’s offensive content in an online, internet-based store. But if all it takes is a mere suggestion of anything even remotely outside of your comfort zone to cause a fucking cacophony of shrieks about a tangential subject, then the internet itself is most definitely not the place for you. Maybe you should check out the local youth group instead.

The problem is that this is an independent author, who works outside the bounds of Paizo’s corporate structure, getting pulled from probably one of very few sites where they can actually sell their work, because they wanted to let people know that their idea and story would work with the Pathfinder ruleset.

Welcome to Brave New World, where the only things that are allowed are what’s pleasing to the loudest voice.

Seriously, though, Price. Grow the fuck up. You’re attacking a store for the content someone else wrote. It’s childish, it’s pathetic, and it’s the same shit parents are doing to schools and it’s the same shit that is going to cause some seriously 1st Amendment violations in the future.

You do NOT have the right to demand someone else’s hard work be thrown in the trash, just because you don’t like the content. The internet is a vast, vast place, and your misguided war against anything that you don’t like will never, fucking ever be over. All you will accomplish is receiving meaningless sympathy from misinformed teenagers/young adults, and leaving a 30-mile-wide wake of disgust, dissonance, and persons who have been given the status of a social convict.

Make no mistake. This is not about the content of that module. This is about Jessica Price not knowing the difference between voicing her opinion and forcing her opinions down other peoples’ throats.

Which is quite a bit like rape, if you think about it. But that’s okay, because she’s got a vagina, right?

And lo, a handful of men on the Paizo forums did cry out, time after time after time, pleading: “Reassure us that there is somewhere in Golarion where men may treat women as inferiors and control their lives and not be judged wrong to do these things!”

“Verily,” we responded. “There is such a place. The name of that land is Hell.”

They were not appeased.

Please tell me there is a link that I can go and revel in that throwing of shade. 

Allow me to educate you on the only shade that was thrown.

That is to say, the post that was deleted because not only did the creative director and project manager not have any sort of response that would put them in a position of being anything but wrongbad, but they actually wimped out on even attempting to address the fact that there are people who disagree with their perspective and have valid, straightforward, and well-thought-out arguments for it.

For starters, have the original can-o-worms opening statement. The first half of which is summarily avoided at all costs.

It only gets better.

His only reply is “I guess you don’t like it, go somewhere else.” How is someone with this kind of attitude towards criticism supposed to handle life outside the bubble he’s built out of his ridiculous magical realm?

[url]

Here is some blind, one-sided, and uninformed (in regards to the thread itself) play by none other than the “We won the fight by deleting half the posts and locking the thread!” champion herself. A round of applause, everyone?

I didn’t even have to get in on that action.

Evelyn Jones, who at some point referred to themselves as either trans or female (my memory is a bit foggy at 3am), went ahead and dissected “Miss” Price’s statement right then and there.

So, now that you have been informed quite straightforwardly that not only has your idol been lying to you flat-out, but you’ve been mislead from the start, maybe you’ll put on some adult pants and go outside, maybe read a newspaper, or listen to the news on the radio, rather than focus all of your efforts and attention on a site that is filled with intentionally misleading monkey poop.

Universities across Japan are beginning to offer balanced breakfast options for only 100 yen ($0.98) to students so they can show students the importance of breakfast on their health and well-being.

So why the fuck is lunch in american schools (at least when the kids gotta pay for it) usually around $4-$5 and has the nutritional value of a pile of carbs

Help me, Banjo’s refusing to feed me, “because I’m too well-fed for a dragon.” Well, Banjo, you don’t know ANYTHING about dragon anatomy, and just because I can’t lift myself with my wings DOES NOT mean I am over-weight.

“People will say, “There are a million ways to shoot a scene”, but I don’t think so. I think there’re two, maybe. And the other one is wrong.”

David Fincher is perhaps the greatest living director - and I’m well aware of who I’m comparing him to by saying that. This video shows you why.

this is really selfish but

why can’t mental illness be like any other kind of sickness where you go to hospital and your loved ones come and give you flowers and tell you that they love you and hold your hand and make sure you get better

why doesn’t that happen instead of awkward silences and embarrassing tears and messy bedsheets and a bunch of other stuff no one actually talks about

w h y

I can’t find a single selfish thing in that.

Because nobody in any age group or gegeration actually cares unless you are visibly suffering for their visceral viewing enjoyment.
And even then it’s unlikely you’ll get any help.

Welcome to real life, where you’re an NPC in every story except your own.
