/tg/ pushes back against SJWs Leader 10/20/15 (Tue) 16:04:00 d90596 No.289888

>/Tablegate/ #1 - We meet at an inn

Who's ready to do something about progressive ideas in Tabletop gaming and showing a push back against them?

Gamergate showed that the best way to get at a company is to weaken it's ties to advertisers and people working with it's brands. When you start a mass e-mail campaign, you can discourage people from working with them and change what ideas they will be willing to carry into their other media. So lets do that now. Do not expect to collapse any companies, no one has that sort of power, but do expect to make some people salty and cost them some money in the long run. Money talks, that's how we defend our hobby from authoritarian fuckwits.

I can't find the e-mail for their president, who is called Paul Meyer, but they have a lot of social media and a customer service e-mail for the overall company as well as their entertainment arm.

Here are your talking points.

>Marvel is pushing a political agenda, which you are including in your Legendary game.

>When fans were upset about Thor being made female they published the first issue showing inserting a dumb black man into the comic for female Thor to beat up while being passive aggressive about feminism. This shows no respect for their fans and as she is included in the Secret War expansion, you must conclude that lack of respect extends to Upper Deck as well.

>They have no respect for any of their characters with the new rebooting. People see the Avengers 2 and want to read Ironman or Thor and then they're suddenly women and nothing like their movie counterparts that people are invested in.

>Female Thor is in their Secret war (it's an AU set) of the Legendary deck building game. So you must assume they support marvel's progressive politics to include her and as such, assume they're unAmerican and also support the new Captain America being against defending America's borders and think any one who is against illegal immigration is a bigot.

Spread this to every /gg/ group you can and every where that will listen. Tablegate can become a thing, but we have to choose our targets carefully. Make it clear this is about respect for the players of your games and not about politics. The first issue of feminist Thor made it quite clear that Marvel has no respect for the player base, so they are the easiest target to complain about.

Marvel has no respect for their comic-buying readership; otherwise they wouldn't be publishing so many inflammatory changes, reboots, and minoritizing all their established content.

Nobody buys comics except for nostalgic neckbeards. Kids don't read anymore.

They are desperate for any market that will have them.

Leader 10/20/15 (Tue) 17:15:14 511fca No.289903

I doubt Upper Deck has complete control over what figures they make, especially when it comes to core franchise characters.

Anyway, tabletop has been SJWed into oblivion since Vampire started letting girls wear black lipstick and call it larping.

If anything, the creation of the Old School Renaissance in the 00's created a parallel tabletop industry that focuses on keeping the bearded grognards happy while SJWs play their "story games"

Well then, they chose the wrong bed to get fucked in then; SJWs don't buy comics, or video games other than the ultra-casual mobile, "retro", and "indie" games the hipster collective tells them to buy, and Role-Playing sourcebooks/supplements/minis/cards/ect.

As much as I hate to say this, the traditional games market has already fallen to the SJWs. The cancer has metastasized and spread to nearly every corner of the hobby. They control the fansites, the media, and even the publishers. Maybe if we had fought back 5 years ago we could've prevented this, but it's entirely too late now.

Also, general reminder that the toy industry is still pushing back, so not all board games are lost (except for everything Mattel does, they're fucked)

Only possible if you can show the advertisers they are doing something actually bad.

A "diversity" agenda isn't in itself bad, unless they do something unethical, or lawbreaking.

You might have a better angle by looking at their twitter and seeing if they're complete assholes to reasonable people questioning their direction.

Providing people jobs based on gender/ethnicity rather than merit is discrimination and therefore illegal, Anon.

Some people just don't want to believe that though.

If that was true, explain the porn industry.

Discrimination means being unequally treated in situation where it would be unjustified.

Female porn actors are more needed in the porn industry for more shots and… more intense roles. I'd say that's justified.

Actors/actresses audition for parts, even if that part is sucking dicks on camera, which has nothing to do with conventional hiring practices. Apples and oranges.

Reporting Evilhat to the FTC (Turns out threatening a retailer with pulling your products if you don't stop carrying a competitor's is illegal) would be far more productive.

I still can't get over how godawful that Sprite art looks. How does a character made with 80's tech look so much better than something from 2014!?

So some pissy gender studies course preserved this piece from 2003 which apparently triggered a ton of these people.

Sprites made in the 80s were made to look as good and distinct as possible because of the low level of tech. Indieshit is purposely made to look shitty to be "retro."

Now what do you think would look better? Something someone put time and effort into but had poor tools or something someone purposely tried to make look bad and has amazing tools?

What really pisses me off is that the writers for these comics spew left wing liberal bullshit all the time on their twitter accounts. And when they get accused of pushing their beliefs into comics they say "I TOTALLY DON'T DO THAT! JUST BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BE A SJW DOENS'T MEAN MY COMIC REPRESENTS MY VIEWS"!!!

The guy who did the new Captain America said that on his twitter

Gamergate showed that the quickest way to get a result is to alert advertisers to repugnant shit people had said.

You have called to our attention none of that. You don't have a single example to work from.

You not liking a particular piece of content is not the same as something advertisers will automatically want to avoid.

Disrespectful nod was no powered by our buying power and threats to take it away. We were never in any danger of losing on those grounds. The power came from the terrible public statements that would repulse any sane person, not from some minutia that bothers you.
