Yeah, that was a clear YTA. Those words were downright insulting, so either the player has a poor sense of personal boundaries, or he has absolutely no social awareness.
Look, I'm all for a good roasting and a gentle ribbing. But there's a point where it stops being a joke and just straight-up bullying, and frankly, OP in story 1 actually comes off as a jealous bitch.
In that first story it's wild for OP to assume that two people in an active relationship that did eventually result in marriage had never *seen* eachother. Like they didn't have any private interactions or chats or video calls outside of the friend group activities. Just because *you* haven't seen his face doesn't mean his boyfriend hadn't??? Cameras exist.
Especially because the other guy has no obligation to divulge every aspect of his life to his online DND group. His boyfriend could easily visit him and he simply didn’t tell anyone.
In the opener, the fact that the dude used the term “snotling” to refer to the goblin makes me think that it was a Warhammer 40k reference, and that the poster was RPing an inquisitor. So… probably ironic. Still, though, you can never be sure.
Also like, in all probability the couple were probably both cis, so they couldn't "breed" anyway. I don't think they put much thought into the response.
@@brighty-go6nn No idea. Crossover maybe? In all honesty, the post is pretty cringey, even if it was meant ironically. And considering the disturbing amount of people who seem to use fantastical racism as an outlet to express their real racism, it’s a bad look regardless.
nope. Warhammer greenskins (40k and fantasy) are "male coded" sexless brutes who CANNOT feel love, much less be in a lesbian relationship with a human. The person who wrote it is just fucking insane, not a warhammer nerd.
We recently kicked a dude from our table for being a dick in and out of game. He made me and my husband both uncomfortable and couldn’t respect boundaries without bitching. After the kick, he basically went off on my husband and said he wasn’t good enough for me and needless to say the way he was acting towards my spouse is enough to never let him back at my table again. The person in story one should learn that being mean to the DM’s spouse will never end well for you.
Yeah it really felt like they all just decided to snub OP. Because if it was just the DM trying to have him introduced now but get something cool later, the rest of the group would've been much more interested in Rping with OPs character and including them in some way. They too just sorta...Went eh. I really think it was for the best that they left when they did.
It stinks of favouritism for the DM (and by extension the party) to have OP's characters just leave and show up with no fanfare or even reaction to them taking part, while the other player's PCs get a heartfelt farewell and a heroic introduction with the rest of the party, but maybe that's just me. Unless Player 2 was actively working with the DM on how they wanted their first character to say goodbye and OP was just not bothered about everything, (which I'd understand, you get out what you put in) it's no wonder they lost any motivation to keep playing when nobody was giving them anything to work with besides "Oh, and you're there for some reason."
I get the feeling that the OP for this one is hiding some info about the story. I can't explain it but it just sounds like they're leaving details out and we aren't getting the full picture.
"Walter" is a textbook Murderhobo, and literally none of his actions would be acknowledged as "Good Aligned" at my table. Theyre chaotic evil..and i know some people would try to argue Chaotic Neutral because its " selfish" but no..not all selfish actions are automatically neutral. If you're deliberately hurting someone in the process who isnt a villain and hasnt done anything to you, your act is both selfish AND harmful, and thereore evil. Either way, in no world is it good-aligned
Yeah you have to occasionally do good things to be chaotic neutral. Save a goblin, kiss their husband, dig a well for a poor village, steal all the left shoes, a balance of good and bad. Not just unexplained bad -.-
While the Wizard of the third story probably didn't have that ability, it's how far he went and how much of an unhealthy obsession he bad finding his character's killer that I was honestly giving him the benefit of the doubt.

That's what gets me. They literally answered OP's ad, saying they wanted to do this... only to go on the path the revenge in that character's memory. Like... what?
The dumbest part is the wizard didn't even need to metagame to "catch the killer". At level 19 (which I think he was), he could have just used one of the many mind reading, or scrying, or even talk with dead spells to just get the answer without cheating or being a psycho.

My best friend (basically big brother) was a Colonel in the army and also super nerdy and loves RPGs. You would never know he's military unless you asked directly. One of the kindest, easiest going guys I know. Sidenote: he also has dealt with some trauma from being overseas, but never uses that to take his trauma out on others.
Nothing to say on the intro. First story after that, wow. I don't think there was even a "joke" to be found. That was just venting jealousy or something. Second story, totally agree. Shame on mods for not stepping in. Not just at the end, when someone was threatening to DOX a pair of players, but even before that when this player made it clear they were going to constantly make the game hostile. All because they wanted to use meta knowledge to justify spoiling a major part of the campaign that was planned and cut it off before it could start. Third story, OOF. I know how that feel. Just started a starfinder campaign and seems like we're two of a kind. First and second player in a (at the time) three person PBP campaign get nice long intros and I get "you also wake up, are you going to find the others?" Like... I guess. We also, each have a little familiar-like robot that woke us up and I was told ahead of time mine would be "bubbly and cheerful" to make them stand out. So I was asked if I could make my character to contrast that somehow. Turns out, after we talked out this dynamic, the DM randomly gave away my dude's personality to that of another player's lil guy. Mine now just says 1-word sentences like "Indeed." and "Yes." This contrasts with my character who... is also the quiet type. Nice. Good planning, DM. 👍
On an online written RP site, a friend and I (we play similar kinds of characters) were accused of being the same person to the point where this guy was repeatedly reporting both of our accounts to mods. Why? Because we "booth said no to his RP request." A MxM, explicit, no holds barred, no fade to black, smut "romance" RP where in his request he made it very clear that we should be so lucky that "I chose you" to message about a game. We did not feel lucky.
i have this friend whos boyfriend was NEVER in a voice call with any of us ever. and never texted the group. My friend also used to talk like "yes i have a boyfriend, he is a real boyfriend" and I jokingly called the boyfriend "your mysterious but definitely boyfriend from a definitely real country that definitely exists" as a joke, he thought it was funny too, I made sure he was okay with me making the imaginary boyfriend jokes, and he was like "yeah its fine, its funny honestly, hes just been super busy lately. thats all. he will be around eventually"
6:10 The editing and acting are HILARIOUS! Been subbed to the tavern for over a year now, and seeing how much it's grown is amazing. The quality was always top-notch, and yet it keeps getting better!
I like campaigns inspired by video games in creative ways, and I've been obsessed with the idea of a Pikmin inspired game after Pikmin 4 expanded that universe and we have so many varieties of people who would go traveling the galaxy
Story two: Discord is actually a really good dating platform, at least if you go into servers that are for special interests that msot people don't care about. I'm in a conlang community and I know like 5 couples that met through that community (including me and my boyfriend, used to live in different countries, met over discord, now we are living together) and it honestly makes sense. If you are super passionate about something weird, like in my case a specific conlang, then you will automatically connect better with people who share that obscure interest. So yeah, 10/10 for discord of a dating platform would recommend
that first one straight up made me sit there shocked with my mouth open for a good minute when i heard what the person said, i thought it was just gonna be a bit of banter that was accidentally a bit too far, but no, that was just horrible, not even to mention the fact that after they did that... THEY. DOUBLED. DOWN. YOU DO NOT DOUBLE DOWN ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT i expected a "oh it was just a joke" at the very least, you see it really often with people who do edgy humor realizing its coming back to bite then, BUT NO, THEY DOUBLED DOWN HARD
Feelsbadman for the guy at the end like his luck during that whole situation was just kept getting worse . As for the Clueless guy at the beginning , he def deserved what was coming to him and seemed to me he was jealousy of other guy. So im sure those lines came from spite towards him
the aita post reminded me of my boyfriends mother constantly trying to get me arrested when we started dating so her son who is gay can settle down with a nice christian girl. found out a bit later that she couldn't see him because of a restraining order because she sent ty to a conversion camp when he was 17 for 6 months every day he was whipped 30 times until he turned 18at which point he went home told his father and in response my future father in law kicked his soon to be ex wife tf out and went about cutting her name out of his will and suing her and the camp for child abuse. gotta say if this lady ever shows up on my doorstep i shall break her nose.
i met ty when he was 19 in 2020 over discord and we are still together i was 20 "lady wants ty to go to heaven but if he's gay he can't" to bad bitch satan is probably gonna offer us jobs once we get down there
The irony of her believing in heaven and stuff like she's ever going there. I'm sorry for your boyfriend, I'm sure he's living a better life with you now.
The AITA story. I cannot understand this mindset. If you don't make a move and the person you crush on finds someone else, that's on you. If you made your shot and the other person wasnt interested, get over it. The fact you get jealous like you own this person is a really good example of why they deserve better than you.
The scary thing about the last story is that he might have thought it was okay if he did that in real life on tour, where there was no one to fight back You know, the "war on terror"
I just have to say, I LOVE that thumbnail. I don't know if you've played Elder Scrolls Legendsbut it's a great TCG. Sadly no more maintenance though servers are up. Still play it to this d though lol.
Weirdly enough I actually did this for some players with a larp plot i ran. Especially in long-term games. Sometimes people want to go out like a hero fighting the great villain instead of just having some random thing get them and I can honestly say these 7 or so. Players who decided to do this were crying with joy and happiness when it was done. All I can say is good stories often require a good villain
That Botched Intro story feels a bit wrong; messing up just the character intro is one thing, but ALSO botching that same player’s old character’s departure while doing both great for another player feels intentional
Putting aside the problem player mocking their relationships, I just wanna say that the way the couple met in the first story and how this helped improve their situation is very wholesome :) Shame Op was a dick.
*slow blinking at the short horror lead in* You know, I love D&D, I love role play, I enjoy short stacks, even goblins.. figuratively. That said, it blows my mind when people unsolicited 'roll' play and spew a bunch of stats and magic items with "dramatic" posturing in a text post as if it means anything, or has any relevance. You know what you do if see art or a story you personally dislike? You close the window, click next image or otherwise move on to the things you like. I know it may sound crazy, but not everything in the world is about your preferences.
The term Snotling in the teaser means the poster of that weird comment is into Warhammer. Serious or not that fan base can be a bit intense. Should have read more of the comments before I posted this. I saw someone else basically said the same thing.
I feel like there's some favoritesium in the 4th story with the two players I mean there is two players that you have to handle the same exact scenario and player 2 gets a good/better leaving scene and intro and OP gets a short limped wrist one both times that felt kinda ignored in crispy's commentary was the party's action really wried? Yes but I fell like he gave the DM a little to much credit
intro post is funny but pause on one of the last lines "whenever a human x goblin ship comes up" Maybe they're just one of those groups that play like every day but how often could this realistically be coming up, somethings tells me this is more than a quirky plot point
JESUS that first story... Calling your friend ugly and out of his husband's leauge while simultaniously saying disabled people are damaged goods and aren't wanted... 🤡 Maybe some people aren't as shallow as that person?
I'm going to have to disagree with you Crispy on the "special forces" guy in the last story being just a troll. Chris Kyle was in combat and was proud about it and always boasted about it, although he probably still did exaggerate since some stories involved killing people in the US as well. Plus if host was military as well, I doubt it cause most military and former military personal really hate people who fake their service record.
21:07 "the party wanted to do this thing that I didn't like, so I decided to go against all of them and play like the guy who made me upset in the first place" -smooth guy
Simply a kinda bad joke & bad view on relationships isnt the kind of thing that gets someone unanimously voted out of a friend group. I wonder if its just unstated buildup where thats the last straw, or dramatically underplayed how bad the actual insult was.
1st story: Some ppl really think theyre flirting with this sorta stuff or just that they're actually cool XD Its that kid in school , past elementary, who legit tries casting spells at you/naruto signs, etc etc... 2nd story: Them making this message alone shows how full of bs they are as a person XD I'd say fake if I haven't known ppl like that, they legit know their wrong but beleive someone anywhere will agree, one person who agrees will just fuel their bs. Sorta a form of doubling down.
Hey sorry to ask but when did the term Aspergers Syndrome fall out of use I have it myself and have never heard it refered to as anything else and I don't get why you would anyway.
Asperger, as in the guy it is named for, was a nazi and researched in concentration camps, so laymen want to move away from it. On top of that, clinically, research has advanced to determine that the mechanism is more clearly defined as being a degree of autism, and so new diagnoses of what would previously have been termed Asperger’s are now termed Autism [some number] (i forgot what). Most people who aren’t jerks allow for those who found identity under the label of Asperger’s to continue using it without personal criticism, especially as that is probably what it still says in their diagnosis and many communities gathered under that label. But moving forward, the term is being moved away from.
I think about the time the DSM 5 came out. They grouped it in on the autism spectrum. However, despite the reasons for the change it was difficult for a lot of the folks who'd grown up with the old title/identity. Even harder for people who have internalized ablism, on top of a general dislike of change.
18:34 I didn't know about this, did the name or terminology for Asperger's Syndrome or autism change? What would be the correct term to use for this condition now?
jewish autistic person here! aspergers syndrome is no longer a diagnosis, as it was invented by a nazi to separate the autistic people who "deserved to live". it's just one way autism presents, often called "high functioning" or "low support needs" now.
A lot of medical professionals have stopped diagnosing as Aspergers and just diagnosed it as being ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder, which it is) the term changed in 2011 or 2013. The correct term is being Autistic, some Autistic people prefer person first language ("person with autism" for example) but most tend to prefer "Autistic person" as Autism isn't a disease and affects who we are, but it's always best to ask the individual their preferences.
Crispy has ran two different homebrew campaigns. One involved the crustacean(Crown of Deceit) while the other involved the reptilian(Shadows over Kerkonos). Fair warning though; Crispy isn't joking when he says he runs hard combats.
10:30 jesus... fucking...... christ..... like.... okay, I can understand a person making a very poor choice of words and offending someone else, but then, that's the moment you have to realize you did something not nice at all and say sorry, and show you're really, REALLY sorry about it, not double down
tbh it's true tho. If "Michael" wouldn't be disabled, he would have chased his football carreer, spending less time on the internet and thus would not have met "Daniel" on a discord server which ultimately leads to the fact that they probably wouldn't have married each other. this is not rude this is called causality or the butterfly effect. it's ofc a remark that should only be made by the married couple or really close friends, not outsiders....
Botched intro story, leave the group as the DM is clearly favoring one player over the op. While I can understand the botched intro, if it was the only bad moment I'd let it pass. But the dm ALSO hand waved op's exit while giving the second player great rp moments.
3:30 It probably takes way more introspection and self reflection than most people are capable of. But, that guys probably not wrong. Shouldn't have said it out loud since his friend already probably struggles with the thought. Tl:Dr, He kicked the guy out because he was right
@@Lazy_scorpio Bruh, THe BF wouldn't have taken it so personally if he didn't struggle with that insecurity. The BF knew it, The Group knows it, Society knows it, My mans was just not socially aware enough not to mention it. There is a ZER0 chance those 2 would have met without the disability limiting his social pool to online only.
@@Jechti307 Honestly, it just sounds like you have the same biases as OP. First, If someone belittles/insults you or someone you care about, it's natural to feel indignant. That's just how people work. Second, being an athlete doesn't automatically mean he can't have other interests. Regardless of his disability, there was always a chance they would have met regardless.
@@Lazy_scorpio 1. Go back and listen to the story. It was pointed out that the BF was *ONLY* on discord and in those social groups *BECAUSE* of his disability. 2. Yes, It's also how people work to react *Intensely* when people point out something that is a internal insecurity VS just being Indignant because someone said something rude *ONCE* 3. No, I have a Different personal bias. Because, I AM a disabled Jock. The Social life i lived before and After being Confined were much different. The people who wanted to interact with me and How people treated me was different and how i had to interact changed as well. Everyone here Including the BF and Crispy community have the BIAS that PEOPLE CHANGING and things happening only because of circumstances in INHERENTLY a bad thing. There is no implied moral judgment on the couple for saying *If circumstances were different this wouldn't of happened* that's your bias. I for one am a MUCH better person then i would of ended up with out being disabled because the way athletes are socialized in American society and the Approval School Sports give some one is dangerous.
Clearly, the reason no one wanted to try again with the characters leaving is because if you try to redo RP moments, the emotions won't be genuine and it'll just feel awkward and forced. Also, "Asperger's syndrome" has not fallen out of use. I know because I also have it, and no other term explains what I have without grouping me together with people with Down syndrome. I know why some people are trying to cancel the legitimate medical term; I'm also Jewish, so I know exactly who Asperger was, and I still know there are multiple reasons why we can't just sweep that name under the rug.
False. As someone else with aspbergers it has 0 connection to down syndrome. It is a diagnosis on the Autism spectrum considered "high functioning" which in and of itself is a eugenist argument also the aspergers label adds no extra medical value that the Autism label doesn't already convey
@@2g33ksgamingttv3 People are grouping everything together under the banner of "autism" (not capitalized), even though we couldn't be more different. We people with high-functioning autism can barely stand to be in the same room as people with low-functioning autism by the very nature of our disorder. Also, it's "Asperger's".
@@JacobL228 I wonder why you are so hard pressed to cling to the legacy of a Nazi that sent children to their deaths and why you are so afraid to be grouped with people who happen to require different and more intensive needs and care? But you're right, you saved the day by correcting a minor autocorrect error

I can't stand anyone who fakes a serious illness for any reason. More so when it's a life threatening one.
Story 1 sounds like the Villain PC Player was re-enacting "Suicide for Hire". Man... I just got nostalgic for early 00s webcomics. Incredible.
On an online written RP site, a friend and I (we play similar kinds of characters) were accused of being the same person to the point where this guy was repeatedly reporting both of our accounts to mods. Why? Because we "booth said no to his RP request." A MxM, explicit, no holds barred, no fade to black, smut "romance" RP where in his request he made it very clear that we should be so lucky that "I chose you" to message about a game. We did not feel lucky.
YOU WERE ANTAGONIZING A HANDICAPPED PERSON! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN!?
most groups would probably kick someone out for doing that in general, I wouldn't blame them, it's pretty bad, BUT THE DM'S HUSBAND? REALLY???
i have this friend whos boyfriend was NEVER in a voice call with any of us ever. and never texted the group. My friend also used to talk like "yes i have a boyfriend, he is a real boyfriend" and I jokingly called the boyfriend "your mysterious but definitely boyfriend from a definitely real country that definitely exists" as a joke, he thought it was funny too, I made sure he was okay with me making the imaginary boyfriend jokes, and he was like "yeah its fine, its funny honestly, hes just been super busy lately. thats all. he will be around eventually"
It's kinda fun trying to figure out why you're using the "Asshole Voice" when it's not immediately apparent at the start of the story.
6:10 The editing and acting are HILARIOUS! Been subbed to the tavern for over a year now, and seeing how much it's grown is amazing. The quality was always top-notch, and yet it keeps getting better!
Crispy I loved your infomercial so much!!!!! 🤣 S tier skit.
Bingeing Crispy’s videos from 2 years ago to now I have noticed how much better he has gotten at narrating.
While the stories are as they are, wild, the skits are such a fun thing to see
I like campaigns inspired by video games in creative ways, and I've been obsessed with the idea of a Pikmin inspired game after Pikmin 4 expanded that universe and we have so many varieties of people who would go traveling the galaxy
Story two: Discord is actually a really good dating platform, at least if you go into servers that are for special interests that msot people don't care about. I'm in a conlang community and I know like 5 couples that met through that community (including me and my boyfriend, used to live in different countries, met over discord, now we are living together) and it honestly makes sense. If you are super passionate about something weird, like in my case a specific conlang, then you will automatically connect better with people who share that obscure interest. So yeah, 10/10 for discord of a dating platform would recommend
that first one straight up made me sit there shocked with my mouth open for a good minute when i heard what the person said, i thought it was just gonna be a bit of banter that was accidentally a bit too far, but no, that was just horrible, not even to mention the fact that after they did that...
THEY. DOUBLED. DOWN.
YOU DO NOT DOUBLE DOWN ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT
i expected a "oh it was just a joke" at the very least, you see it really often with people who do edgy humor realizing its coming back to bite then, BUT NO, THEY DOUBLED DOWN HARD
Never been this early to a video. Thank you for the content
I once knew a Walter who lied about being in the military
I was in. US Navy. I've ran into a few of them too.
Jeez some of these stories are just insane. Wizard took that whole crusade to a whole other level and ruined the game for someone in the process
Hey crispy, I just want to say you’re narrations are wonderful and your voice is amazing! You’re my fav dnd story reader lol
Absolutely love Crispy slowly verbally evolving into That Guy.
Holy shit, the reload just to fire again
the marlo stanfield quote in there is on point
Feelsbadman for the guy at the end like his luck during that whole situation was just kept getting worse . As for the Clueless guy at the beginning , he def deserved what was coming to him and seemed to me he was jealousy of other guy. So im sure those lines came from spite towards him
yes any one claiming to be "Special Forces" is usually lying about it, my brothers both know a few of these guys and they never say anything about it
the aita post reminded me of my boyfriends mother constantly trying to get me arrested when we started dating so her son who is gay can settle down with a nice christian girl.
found out a bit later that she couldn't see him because of a restraining order because she sent ty to a conversion camp when he was 17 for 6 months every day he was whipped 30 times until he turned 18at which point he went home told his father and in response my future father in law kicked his soon to be ex wife tf out and went about cutting her name out of his will and suing her and the camp for child abuse.
gotta say if this lady ever shows up on my doorstep i shall break her nose.
i met ty when he was 19 in 2020 over discord and we are still together
i was 20
"lady wants ty to go to heaven but if he's gay he can't"
to bad bitch satan is probably gonna offer us jobs once we get down there
The irony of her believing in heaven and stuff like she's ever going there. I'm sorry for your boyfriend, I'm sure he's living a better life with you now.
That special operator bit really does sound like stolen valor
The AITA story. I cannot understand this mindset. If you don't make a move and the person you crush on finds someone else, that's on you. If you made your shot and the other person wasnt interested, get over it.
The fact you get jealous like you own this person is a really good example of why they deserve better than you.
Seriously, he was making fun of a handicapped person for being handicapped. What the hell did he expect was going to happen?
The scary thing about the last story is that he might have thought it was okay if he did that in real life on tour, where there was no one to fight back
You know, the "war on terror"
I just have to say, I LOVE that thumbnail. I don't know if you've played Elder Scrolls Legendsbut it's a great TCG. Sadly no more maintenance though servers are up. Still play it to this d though lol.
Weirdly enough I actually did this for some players with a larp plot i ran. Especially in long-term games. Sometimes people want to go out like a hero fighting the great villain instead of just having some random thing get them and I can honestly say these 7 or so. Players who decided to do this were crying with joy and happiness when it was done.
All I can say is good stories often require a good villain
The words I lack at that last one.
That Botched Intro story feels a bit wrong; messing up just the character intro is one thing, but ALSO botching that same player’s old character’s departure while doing both great for another player feels intentional
lmao the BigBrain(TM) funny numbers joke on the infomercial sent me after my smoothbrain spent 5 minutes deciphering the numbers
Michael looks at you with his doll-like eyes and says nothing
I want the sauce from that entry story, that sounds adorable!
5:47 my favourite skit yet xD
“Appendisectomy” “see, I can pronounce things!” 😂
Putting aside the problem player mocking their relationships, I just wanna say that the way the couple met in the first story and how this helped improve their situation is very wholesome :) Shame Op was a dick.
You could just talk to them... Right?
17:00 I love how you intentionally mispronounce the word and then boast that you pronounced it right. Epic levels of trolling!
Hey, I said I can pronounce things. I never said I could do it right.
@@CrispysTavernhaha you can definitely articulate some sounds of your choosing.
I wonder how much that person paid to get two mag-dumps. Seems like that would cost extra.
Villain and Sons took time to reload after dumping his entire magazine. Premium Quality, Death 100% Guaranteed!
Whew, that first story took such a nosedive, I'm expecting Putin to make a comment
For the dude in the first story: it’s called stepping on a land mine for a reason
I'm curious what would qualify for a money-back guarantee on that.😅
*slow blinking at the short horror lead in* You know, I love D&D, I love role play, I enjoy short stacks, even goblins.. figuratively. That said, it blows my mind when people unsolicited 'roll' play and spew a bunch of stats and magic items with "dramatic" posturing in a text post as if it means anything, or has any relevance. You know what you do if see art or a story you personally dislike? You close the window, click next image or otherwise move on to the things you like.
I know it may sound crazy, but not everything in the world is about your preferences.
Dude probably was doing a bit, you are assuming a lot about them from a harmless comment
Crispy, with all the love- say it with me. A-pen-deck-toe-mey
3 payments of 140.23
I see what you did there, ya sneaky devil
I would comment but I have to go get my appendix removed
The term Snotling in the teaser means the poster of that weird comment is into Warhammer. Serious or not that fan base can be a bit intense.
Should have read more of the comments before I posted this. I saw someone else basically said the same thing.
Oh! I know who that artist is in the intro. Making that idiot’s comment into a copypasta sounds so hilarious!
I feel like there's some favoritesium in the 4th story with the two players I mean there is two players that you have to handle the same exact scenario and player 2 gets a good/better leaving scene and intro and OP gets a short limped wrist one both times that felt kinda ignored in crispy's commentary was the party's action really wried? Yes but I fell like he gave the DM a little to much credit
The goblin comment can not be serious. This sounds like an honestly funny shitpost.
YOU COULD JUST TALK TO THEM!
I have made peace with me being a Dm irl.
intro post is funny but pause on one of the last lines
"whenever a human x goblin ship comes up"
Maybe they're just one of those groups that play like every day but how often could this realistically be coming up, somethings tells me this is more than a quirky plot point
Anyone got a link to the goblin art? It sounds cute
Ah-pen-deck-toe-me
JESUS that first story... Calling your friend ugly and out of his husband's leauge while simultaniously saying disabled people are damaged goods and aren't wanted... 🤡 Maybe some people aren't as shallow as that person?
I'm going to have to disagree with you Crispy on the "special forces" guy in the last story being just a troll. Chris Kyle was in combat and was proud about it and always boasted about it, although he probably still did exaggerate since some stories involved killing people in the US as well. Plus if host was military as well, I doubt it cause most military and former military personal really hate people who fake their service record.
17:06 you mispronounced Appendectomy
Definitely. Crispy added letters that weren't even in the word lol.
🤓
21:07 "the party wanted to do this thing that I didn't like, so I decided to go against all of them and play like the guy who made me upset in the first place"
-smooth guy
Good dm move right after though lol. "Bro it's in your god's hands, go back to your party..."
Stop acting like a 12 yr old Call of Duty player is a rule that should be applied almost everywhere.
Damn, I'm earlier than I expected
Simply a kinda bad joke & bad view on relationships isnt the kind of thing that gets someone unanimously voted out of a friend group. I wonder if its just unstated buildup where thats the last straw, or dramatically underplayed how bad the actual insult was.
1st story: Some ppl really think theyre flirting with this sorta stuff or just that they're actually cool XD Its that kid in school , past elementary, who legit tries casting spells at you/naruto signs, etc etc...
2nd story: Them making this message alone shows how full of bs they are as a person XD I'd say fake if I haven't known ppl like that, they legit know their wrong but beleive someone anywhere will agree, one person who agrees will just fuel their bs. Sorta a form of doubling down.
Intro: I think the commenter was trying to LARP as a Warhammer Fantasy character. That, or he's really messed up.
Story1: im pretty he could be gay.
You could just talk to them...
Hey sorry to ask but when did the term Aspergers Syndrome fall out of use I have it myself and have never heard it refered to as anything else and I don't get why you would anyway.
Asperger, as in the guy it is named for, was a nazi and researched in concentration camps, so laymen want to move away from it. On top of that, clinically, research has advanced to determine that the mechanism is more clearly defined as being a degree of autism, and so new diagnoses of what would previously have been termed Asperger’s are now termed Autism [some number] (i forgot what). Most people who aren’t jerks allow for those who found identity under the label of Asperger’s to continue using it without personal criticism, especially as that is probably what it still says in their diagnosis and many communities gathered under that label. But moving forward, the term is being moved away from.
I think about the time the DSM 5 came out. They grouped it in on the autism spectrum. However, despite the reasons for the change it was difficult for a lot of the folks who'd grown up with the old title/identity. Even harder for people who have internalized ablism, on top of a general dislike of change.
You could just talk to them.
Is this the first YTA on the channel?
18:34 I didn't know about this, did the name or terminology for Asperger's Syndrome or autism change? What would be the correct term to use for this condition now?
jewish autistic person here! aspergers syndrome is no longer a diagnosis, as it was invented by a nazi to separate the autistic people who "deserved to live". it's just one way autism presents, often called "high functioning" or "low support needs" now.
A lot of medical professionals have stopped diagnosing as Aspergers and just diagnosed it as being ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder, which it is) the term changed in 2011 or 2013. The correct term is being Autistic, some Autistic people prefer person first language ("person with autism" for example) but most tend to prefer "Autistic person" as Autism isn't a disease and affects who we are, but it's always best to ask the individual their preferences.
Just discovering your channel. Have you already made a collab with certain crustacean and/or reptilian hexapod that have similar content to yours?
Crispy has ran two different homebrew campaigns. One involved the crustacean(Crown of Deceit) while the other involved the reptilian(Shadows over Kerkonos). Fair warning though; Crispy isn't joking when he says he runs hard combats.

Helping the algorithm one comment at a time
10:30 jesus... fucking...... christ.....
like.... okay, I can understand a person making a very poor choice of words and offending someone else, but then, that's the moment you have to realize you did something not nice at all and say sorry, and show you're really, REALLY sorry about it, not double down
ngl thought the guy in the 2nd story was gay for daniel in the beginning.
Buttons
You could just talk to them.
tbh it's true tho. If "Michael" wouldn't be disabled, he would have chased his football carreer, spending less time on the internet and thus would not have met "Daniel" on a discord server which ultimately leads to the fact that they probably wouldn't have married each other. this is not rude this is called causality or the butterfly effect. it's ofc a remark that should only be made by the married couple or really close friends, not outsiders....
2nd OP is unfathomably Based
Okay, normally I can't stand your skits but, "Villain and Sons" that had me laugh. Good on you, you got me.
Botched intro story, leave the group as the DM is clearly favoring one player over the op. While I can understand the botched intro, if it was the only bad moment I'd let it pass. But the dm ALSO hand waved op's exit while giving the second player great rp moments.
People murderhobo in real groups xD Thought it was a crpg thing lol sounds so selfish and boring
3:30
It probably takes way more introspection and self reflection than most people are capable of. But, that guys probably not wrong. Shouldn't have said it out loud since his friend already probably struggles with the thought.
Tl:Dr, He kicked the guy out because he was right
No. He got kicked out for being an ass due to his own bias and weird hang ups. Nothing more and nothing less.
@@Lazy_scorpio
Bruh, THe BF wouldn't have taken it so personally if he didn't struggle with that insecurity. The BF knew it, The Group knows it, Society knows it, My mans was just not socially aware enough not to mention it.
There is a ZER0 chance those 2 would have met without the disability limiting his social pool to online only.
@@Jechti307 Honestly, it just sounds like you have the same biases as OP.
First, If someone belittles/insults you or someone you care about, it's natural to feel indignant. That's just how people work.
Second, being an athlete doesn't automatically mean he can't have other interests. Regardless of his disability, there was always a chance they would have met regardless.
@@Lazy_scorpio
1. Go back and listen to the story. It was pointed out that the BF was *ONLY* on discord and in those social groups *BECAUSE* of his disability.
2. Yes, It's also how people work to react *Intensely* when people point out something that is a internal insecurity VS just being Indignant because someone said something rude *ONCE*
3. No, I have a Different personal bias. Because, I AM a disabled Jock. The Social life i lived before and After being Confined were much different. The people who wanted to interact with me and How people treated me was different and how i had to interact changed as well. Everyone here Including the BF and Crispy community have the BIAS that PEOPLE CHANGING and things happening only because of circumstances in INHERENTLY a bad thing. There is no implied moral judgment on the couple for saying *If circumstances were different this wouldn't of happened* that's your bias. I for one am a MUCH better person then i would of ended up with out being disabled because the way athletes are socialized in American society and the Approval School Sports give some one is dangerous.
@@Jechti307 Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree. Good day to you.
Clearly, the reason no one wanted to try again with the characters leaving is because if you try to redo RP moments, the emotions won't be genuine and it'll just feel awkward and forced. Also, "Asperger's syndrome" has not fallen out of use. I know because I also have it, and no other term explains what I have without grouping me together with people with Down syndrome. I know why some people are trying to cancel the legitimate medical term; I'm also Jewish, so I know exactly who Asperger was, and I still know there are multiple reasons why we can't just sweep that name under the rug.
"Asperger's" is in fact NOT a valid diagnosis. If you "have it" then you're just autistic. How about you stop using na/zi language?
False. As someone else with aspbergers it has 0 connection to down syndrome. It is a diagnosis on the Autism spectrum considered "high functioning" which in and of itself is a eugenist argument also the aspergers label adds no extra medical value that the Autism label doesn't already convey
@@2g33ksgamingttv3No as someone who has high functioning Autism. It is called a spectrum because there are multiple conditions in a broad category.
@@2g33ksgamingttv3 People are grouping everything together under the banner of "autism" (not capitalized), even though we couldn't be more different. We people with high-functioning autism can barely stand to be in the same room as people with low-functioning autism by the very nature of our disorder. Also, it's "Asperger's".
@@JacobL228 I wonder why you are so hard pressed to cling to the legacy of a Nazi that sent children to their deaths and why you are so afraid to be grouped with people who happen to require different and more intensive needs and care? But you're right, you saved the day by correcting a minor autocorrect error
