The vocal shift into reading the unhinged transphobic rant was gold. Higher and higher pitch. The moral bar is a little higher than "I've never physically attacked someone".
"I wouldn't personally hate crime someone but I'd be damned if I actually stop them from being hate crimed or support legislation to stop them from being shunned and hate crimed, why don't queer people like me?" Is the peak mindset for a lot of these folks. Also like generally speaking why hang out with someone who won't respect you anyway?
It's always a pretty huge red flag when people excuse their own behavior by claiming that they haven't done anything physical... Like that somehow excuses the rest of it. Being treated like shit is not something that anyone wants to put up with for the rest of their life, or is required to. Especially not in a setting where they're just trying to relax. And there's never a good excuse for treating other people like human punching bags, whether it's literally or metaphorically. Nobody in their right mind is going to enjoy or tolerate that for any length of time.

Most people do think they are the Hero of the story. Regardless of how bad they may be. That's just human nature. And as they say, reasoning some one out of a position they did not reason themselves into is practically impossible.

@@Leiliel1 he wasn’t even the business owner. That was all stuff that went down a year ago. The game store guy sold his store and moved to TN where he hoped to find more likeminded people (read: transphobes with guns). This guy pops up a year later to demand the group let him back in, after he voiced similarly transphobic views (to a group extremely accepting of the whole LGBTQ+ spectrum) and scold them for cutting ties with the shop owner for making them feel unsafe. But, then, he didn’t get his asspats and accolades for “speaking truth” to people. Funny, a lot of us go to the gaming table to avoid that crap.
You don't get to advocate for my non-existence when I refuse to go quietly into the closet or the grave and pretend it will never come to blows. It's only ever "I don't advocate for violence... Yet."

I went to my local game store because i was looking into hanging out there on dnd nights. They have a LARGE lgbt flag in the store and the divide between the front and back of the store includes a MASSIVE "Every Child Matters" flag. While i was there vibe checking the place i casually mentioned my ex-stepfather, how he introduced me to dnd...before he became MASSIVELY homophobic, transphobic and racist. The store owner asked for his name, because he wanted to know if he had ever been in so he could ban him from the store.
The store being called "Dark Tower Games" is so funny to me because theres a store I visit every now and then called "Tower Games" which in my experience fosters a very diverse and welcoming community. In other words the exact opposite of this store
Thankfully, the folks at Aegis, which is effectively the same business in the same building, but with better owners, are a lovely bunch. Great space to be in, IMO.
Why is “I don’t advocate for violence, but-“ such a common shield from criticism? Why is violence seemingly the only moral concern that some people are capable of having? Do they really just think that anything outside of hurting people is above judgement? “Guys, I’m NOT advocating for anyone to be killed, I’m just saying that homeless people should be put to work by force to benefit whatever corporation buys them”.
Ah the old “If you exclude me for my -phobia of choice, then you’re the real bigots!” ploy. For people who think the Uno reverse card is the pinnacle of strategy
My go-to argument for people like that is "replace everything you just said with race". Like, imagine calling others racists for kicking you out after you agreed with someone who was threateningly, unhingedly racist. I mean...what do they expect????? If you're racist, people don't want to play with you. Same for being anti-LGBTQ+.
I like to replace the argument with being left or right handed. "You write with your left hand? I don't care what you do in your own home, but I don't want you pushing your left-handed agenda on my children."
If there was a race actively saying they wanted to convert your children to their race, or trying to convince kids they were the “wrong race” based on ridiculous stereotypes….
Imma guess no one mentioned him being Christian but he sure as hell made it his whole identity to self victimize xD Its always "I don't condone harm" but will legit encourage other folks lmfao
Going by the comments section of the post: yes, he did. He got ratio'd so hard that he deleted his account. Probably for the best; I hope he crawls back under his rock and never comes out again.
That guy's type of Christianity wants to be the victim so bad so they can deflect any and all criticism as bigotry. They want to be hateful without explaining themselves because their humanity would reject their views should it ever get scrutinized to any degree.
"Im a Christian, so im not gonna use your pronouns. Ill tell you the truth and bring you back to reality" Dude this is a ROLE playing table top game. If you can respect Darkstar Shiteslayer in game more then you respect me IRL then you have major issues.

You know what else is against that guy's religion? - Eating shellfish - Getting tattoos - Wearing mixed fabric clothing - Eating a cheeseburger - Eating pork - Trimming your beard - Cultivating more than one kind of plant in a patch of soil
Many old testament laws where more about living and have many verses about doing day to day stuff, like clothing one was about not destroying cloths while washing them, because of diferent materials. Most important fact is that after his death Jesus lifted most of this laws, and made love the most important thing above all else. Still some of old laws have some use like fasting and prohibiting self harm while grieving which was stated in bible before tatoos. They are also understandable because in ancient times geting infected was a lot more likely and dangerous.
@@rootfish2671 The fact that none of his Christian views came up in a game about high fantasy worldbuilding, murder, and characters who worship made up gods until the topic of sexuality and gender identity is a pretty big indicator that he was never too "christan" until it was convenient.
@@Kaspar_Ementaller Jesus didn't abolish anything. Matthew 5: 17-19, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." So what is dangerous and infectious about being gay?
As a Christian, I sincerely apologize for the bigotry of other "Christians". It pains me as someone who is both Christian and an ally. You are loved, lovable, and acceptable as you are with your entire identity. Please know that bigots aren't representing the God I worship.
Same for me. It disgust me that people in our Faith have that kind of reasoning. Christianism is supposed to be about loving thy neighboor, why do so little people get that?!
Christian here. Best friend is bi, her wife is lesbian. Good friend is gay. Got trans acquaintances. Therefore I think it's in my rights to tell Christianplayer "Pull the other one, it has bells on it."
I know a trans woman that's a preacher at her church! This nonsense about "Christians must hate Big Gay" is like Wile E. Coyote trying to block a falling boulder with a tiny umbrella, it's so hilariously not going to hide your obvious unfounded bigotry.
I remember a particular bit of dialogue about God and gender stuff that lives in my brain: in summary, the person who wrote it proposed that trans people exist the same reason we can make bread or wine, so that people can share in the joy of creation and change.
At this point the number of Christians who are totally fine with LGBT stuff (as long as we don't try to force it down their throats) outweighs the amount of people who are so openly against it, and in my experience, it seems like the LGBT hatred comes from family/friends seeing it as wrong, not the actual religious teachings. I haven't been to a single church in the last 23 years that hasn't been okay with me being a Gay man. They never try to force any anti-LGBT views on me, they never try to "change" me, and they never threaten me. Just like nobody likes when religious folks try to force their views on others or in the games they play, people equally don't like having LGBT elements forced onto them or the games they play. I'd say that's fair. I say this as a Gay Man who understands that both sides have their issues and bad actors.

the guy complaining because the group dropped him for being transphobic is laughable. a DnD group is not an organization or a club, its just a group of people playing a game. they could kick you out simply because they dont want to play with you anymore! and thats preferrable because if he would have stayed, guaranteed the other players would be giving him the cold shoulder lol
The guy justifying using the term for being a bigot to describe the group he got kicked out from, literally just called himself out. The irony! XD Also love the new look for your rat version of yourself. It's so cute and fluffy! (Well, maybe not the eldritch horror aspect, but hey, some might think it's adorable, lol) Also, if you ever get to the point of doing a plushie of that character, I would totally get one!
If I had a nickel for every TTRPG horror story I heard that included a bigot using religion as an excuse to be bigoted I would be incredibly wealthy and that makes me deeply sad. (edited for spelling)
The existence of my trans friends, my own personal existence, is neither a political nor moral question. We exist, period. If our existence is, to you, a question to be debated, I wanted nothing to do with you. There might be something to get you to understand why calling a person's right to exist as they are into question is a serious problem, but I have neither the time nor the ability to find that something which is why I simply cut ties. Again, saying it nice and loud here: I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SOMEBODY BEING A CHRISTIAN OR WHATEVER. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY EXISTENCE OR THE EXISTENCE OF MY FRIENDS BEING A QUESTION REQUIRING DISCUSSION TO FIND AN ANSWER TO.
fucking based. You dont have to justify your existence to anyone. And its absolutely bullshit that in this "oh so advanced civilised age", some people still need to fight for that "right". It shouldnt even be a right, rights imply its something society graciously gives you, it's just a thing that should be a given for all humans.
oh yeah, American crocodile iirc. it's an endangered species, I think. apparently a lot more of the southeast used to be some form of wetlands than still exists today, so species that rely on them are far fewer in number, like the croc, and also a lot of species of carnivorous plants that seem to gravitate towards the southeast. there's even a native species of river cane that's both minimally documented due to scarcity, and the sole-habitat of a species of pitcher plant that only grows in like, two places in the entire world. I know this got away from me a bit but I've never not thought this information was cool ever since I first learned of it. the part of the country where I live used to be a radically different place than it is today, and you can still see the remnants of it if you look hard enough.
I was going to post the same thing. Though honestly, alligators are worse as far as my experience goes, haven’t heard of any crocs the size of a station wagon disrupting a military base’s capability to use runways or having to change vehicle parking to accommodate where it likes to spend time.
I’m an extremely devout Christian. That poster needs some prayers AF. JESUS HIMSELF stated that the only two most important rules is love God and love your neighbor. Multiple times it states not to judge people. I fully believe if Jesus was alive today, he’d hang out at gay bars and have fun with people of all walks of life. Plus I am lgbtq myself, (not stating which because I have not come out yet due to horrid views of those around me) and my fiance is out as nonbinary. We are ALL created in Gods image. And God the father is not shown in any humanoid form, meaning that doesn’t mean physical image. We are created in his image by having sentience and complex emotions and thoughts. I really don’t see how anything trans goes against the Bible. It’s changing pronouns and sometimes getting surgery. If trans is wrong, then changing anything about how you look and present, changing aesthetic, styling your hair, getting piercings, tattoos, etc is also wrong. Which makes no sense. God is called He even though he definitely has no physical gender since he has no physical form. So who cares if we change our pronouns and body??? TLDR: Christians have forgotten how to “love thy neighbor, don’t judge, and respect all of God’s children.”
The idea of if you discriminate against discriminatory people then that’s just more discrimination and you’re no better than them makes me go ballistic. It’s the stupidest take ever.
As for the last story- my best friends are from Kentucky and just celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary. I can assure you that I have been called 'hun' on just about a daily basis from her but she would NEVER think of leaving her husband (who is a great guy in his own right). Some times folks are just that desperate, unfortunately.
Oh god, the dude who wants credit for not doing hate crimes... What? I feel like you can chalk that up as a threat, like "nice place you got here, be a shame if something bad happened to it."
The bad advertisement for Christianity is well within his right to believe what he wants. And the people around him are within their right to not associate with him. Everyone's got there rights that they're all entitled too. Just stop whining when someone else uses their rights.
Classic "rules ofr thee but not for me", they're type to cry about "freedom of speech" when people push back agaisnt their bigoted comments, when really everyone is both in thr right to voice their opinion amd speak agaisnt the opinions of others
Classic cherry picker, "I believe in the parts that support my bias and hate but the parts that don't suit my biases or desires are 'up for interpretation' or are from the wrong part of the Bible."
It's the fundie paradox. They decry whatever goes against their personal idea of Christianity (which is often false), but pick things that also go against those views (again, incorrect. There's nothing in the Bible about TTRPGs, and anything concerning homosexuality is heavily debated by many Biblical scholars).
Fundamentalism has gone off the rails. The movement started with a series of books called The Fundamentals, which outlined the ten? fundamentals of what it meant to be a Christian. Guess what things _weren’t_ on that list. Hint, most of the shit that so-called fundamentalists spout off about nowadays.
Story 2: I'm one of the GMs at the Radiant Realm. I'm straight, cis... all of the things that guy is (though I left the Christianity behind a few years back).

Pretty sure I had something similar happen with a local FLGS where the owner posted some hardcore alt-right stuff online and then was surprised when he lost nearly all his customers. The owner of the store I go to is fairly centrist but also doesn't talk about controversial stuff in the store, keeps it all family friendly and inviting, so I got to hear about this all second-hand from him. The other store owner even tried to sell his store to the guy I know, who just told him to take a flying leap (he didn't want to be caught dead holding the bag after the guy had tarnished THAT name). No idea what exactly was said, though I'm pretty sure the dude was literally allowing some grognards who happened to be not-seas to play openly in his store, then tried to defend them when they said or did something... weird shtuff all told.
I was just thinking like a week ago: Crispy has been doing some revisions of the show in most areas, except his avatar. Wonder if he'll update that as well. And now he did. Neat. Especially as there were some minor inconsistencies that slightly bugged me with the old one, even if they were only nitpicks.
10:50 you could say that the store transitioned :P I'm lucky in that my local community is very supportive of the LBGTQ+ community and makes me feel safe and at home with them.
"Ive never physically attacked someone I just want to deny your right to exist and support legislation and positions meant to encourage children to *insert awful self harm*.

"What are you talking about???" You had me ROFL during the second story. Also, I, too, have the Curse of the Baby-Face. Haven't gotten carded regularly since my mid-thirties but a decade on, and age guesses for me still land on 28 to 30. But it's fine (said the bowler-hatted dog in the burning establishment). It's fiiiiine. When us baby-faced peeps are 85 ... we'll LOOK 65. Well-played, to us? That last story ... I took a shower an hour ago. I think I'll take another. Right now. With an industrial scrubber and the hot water set to "liquefy." I hope the actual FBI was listening in, for real. I've never before said that in my life but ... I hope they were. Yuck.
Okay, so, regarding the papoose: a married couple I knew played a duo in the old Living Greyhawk convention play campaign for D&D 3.x. The wife played a Half-Orc Fighter/Rogue, and her husband played a Gnome Bard whose Perform skill was basically "The Dozens"--artistic insults meant to distract and infuriate your opponent. And yes, the Gnome rode around in a backpack with holes cut in it for his arms and legs. It was hilarious, especially on those occasions when the half-orc calmly informed the Gnome that if he didn't shut his mouth and stop antagonizing some random NPC, she was going to tie up the backpack and drop him in the river.
I remember when Dark Tower closed. Only found out why a couple years later, and it hit me pretty hard as a trans woman who’d spent a lot of time in that space as a kid. Luckily, the folks at Aegis are a lovely bunch, and it’s practically the same business in the same building, just with better management.

My DM is christian and when it comes to homophobic rules in bible he always say "this rules were written for israelites before jesus came. Im not israelite in pre jesus era"
My home town comic store had similar issues. Before when I first started going there in high school, it was great and nuetral and not bigoted at all. And then the original guy who made it sold it years after I moved away. The people who took it over where super conservative and I couldnt go there anymore because they were assholes. Then they ran it into the ground and as far as I know now, there isnt one anymore. Which is sad and frustrating.
Hey, people who have a good session 0... what do you DO? Every time I've tried one it's been super awkward and quickly devolved into an encyclopedia reading of random world building info that my adhd brain can NOT deal with. I wanna play in the world, explore it, not attend a lecture of Forgotten Realms history 101... all of the silly nonsense words just flow out of my brain as a DM does a not-so dramatic reading of the book (I'm the boring DM at my games too). What are you supposed to do that's taking a whole game session? Make characters? But then everyone's talking and you can't focus... besides, everyone probably already had their character concepts in place when you said which campaign you were running. The last time I didn't bring a characters to a session 0 (when the dm said he didn't want us to) I showed up with just a concept and felt super rushed picking feats and magic items.. Everyone just talks about how helpful session 0 is and I legit can't figure out what people are actually *doing*
one thing for example is to focus les son the game and more about the game. The premis eof the campaign should already have been given when pitching to the players. At session 0 you can talk about expectations, what do you like in a game and perhaos what you would like to see, like intruige, war stories, dungeon crawling, exploraiton, puzzles, investigations and more. Also what you dont like and potential fears and boundaries of stuff. If character concepts are starting ot be done session 0 is a good place to start weaving them together, do some party members share a backstory, did they trave together briefly before the campaign started. How do they know eachother etc etc. Leave the worldbuilding aspects more to actually in game than out of it.
The southern slang bit I feel SO HARD. Im not from the south BUT my mom and her parents were and so I grew up hearing and using that slang. The amount of times people though I was flirting by using "hun" as a term like "dude" got to the point that I trained myself to stop using slang like that. I even got rid of my second hand southern accent because of the weird comments. Then there were the people who got offended by it. I didn't think it was that big of a deal but it always caused a problem
13:38 as a Christian this shit pisses me off so much. I wanna be clear I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming Christian and am queer myself. The part of the verse that guy was quoting actually tells us to speak the truth in LOVE which is something that coincidentally these people always seem to forget. Absolute bill shit.
if you ever meet scum like that in your religious circles, ask them why they think God is so incompetent, that He gave *so* many humans LGBT+ identities despite apparently hating all queerness
@@dusksentry5836lol they would just say it was the devil's fault. And it would turn into a circular argument. And it's not up to the commenter to judge and their God can do that. You cannot pin the sins of one onto the many. That's just effing crazy.
Here is also a thing: If you play with tables you haven't checked, you still can just... not abide by them. When you read "15 Dire crocodiles" mid combat, you are absolutely allowed to make that 1 Dire crocodile on the fly.
the best use of co-dm'ing I've seen/done is typically guest characters that play one or more npcs (works best if you have a voice actor / impressionist friend) or use them to bounce off of in cutscenes/npc-on-npc rp and combat when you have a bunch of moving parts. Typically you pass to or the co-dm just takes over when you need time to prep or aren't there. I've even seen some people who pass certain scenes entirely to the co-dm (I assume the co-dm just wrote those scenes/quests and/or are really attached to the character in said scene, so the dm let's em take it).
A good example of co-DMing is Tales from the Stinky Dragon. There's three co-DMs on that podcast and they all have very clearly defined roles. Gus interacts with the players, handling rolls and RP. Micah writes the over-arching narrative and occasionally helps with mechanics explanations and determining whether to bend the rules for a player for cool/funny reasons. Ben assists Micah with story writing and helps both other DMs provide hints to move the players in the right direction to solve puzzles/progress the story without giving the whole thing away. How well their setup would work outside of a real-play podcast, I can't say, but it certainly works well for the show.
Im Really glad that all my friends are open minded , and even my straight friends are really kind and understanding...

We didn't have a session zero, so now we have two tabaxis, one fake tabaxi (changeling) and a cat allergic halfling
Thats pretty funny, honestly.
LMAO that's awesome
The store being called "Dark Tower Games" is so funny to me because theres a store I visit every now and then called "Tower Games" which in my experience fosters a very diverse and welcoming community. In other words the exact opposite of this store
Thankfully, the folks at Aegis, which is effectively the same business in the same building, but with better owners, are a lovely bunch. Great space to be in, IMO.
Tower Game's evil shadow clone
Why is “I don’t advocate for violence, but-“ such a common shield from criticism? Why is violence seemingly the only moral concern that some people are capable of having? Do they really just think that anything outside of hurting people is above judgement?
“Guys, I’m NOT advocating for anyone to be killed, I’m just saying that homeless people should be put to work by force to benefit whatever corporation buys them”.
Ah the old “If you exclude me for my -phobia of choice, then you’re the real bigots!” ploy. For people who think the Uno reverse card is the pinnacle of strategy
My go-to argument for people like that is "replace everything you just said with race". Like, imagine calling others racists for kicking you out after you agreed with someone who was threateningly, unhingedly racist. I mean...what do they expect????? If you're racist, people don't want to play with you. Same for being anti-LGBTQ+.
Sadly, in today's world, that's not quite so effective. It's becoming popular to be openly racist again.
I like to replace the argument with being left or right handed. "You write with your left hand? I don't care what you do in your own home, but I don't want you pushing your left-handed agenda on my children."
@@Here_is_Waldo That's beautiful. Mind if I borrow that?
If there was a race actively saying they wanted to convert your children to their race, or trying to convince kids they were the “wrong race” based on ridiculous stereotypes….
@@tennagon3822 Of course. I'm sure other people have made similar comparisons.
Imma guess no one mentioned him being Christian but he sure as hell made it his whole identity to self victimize xD
Its always "I don't condone harm" but will legit encourage other folks lmfao
Going by the comments section of the post: yes, he did. He got ratio'd so hard that he deleted his account. Probably for the best; I hope he crawls back under his rock and never comes out again.
Theres no bigger hate than christian love
That guy's type of Christianity wants to be the victim so bad so they can deflect any and all criticism as bigotry. They want to be hateful without explaining themselves because their humanity would reject their views should it ever get scrutinized to any degree.
He basically said, "I agree with violence being done to you, but I can't be bothered to do it myself. You should thank me for that."
Oh my God, who knew that Crispy Rat was a biblically accurate angel underneath all of that?
"Im a Christian, so im not gonna use your pronouns. Ill tell you the truth and bring you back to reality"
Dude this is a ROLE playing table top game. If you can respect Darkstar Shiteslayer in game more then you respect me IRL then you have major issues.
I find it really funny that this anime villain ass speak ironically reminds me a lot of edgelord neo-atheist types that used to be more outspoken years ago.
@@ArbitraryOutcomeCoins and sides and all that I suppose.
Also a very narrow (and willfully ignorant and/or cultural-imperialist) concept of "reality."
A lot of Christians forget that Christ was all about love and compassion.
@@davidtherwhanger6795Nah, I believe they all know that. They just assume this compassion is reserved for "people like them".

"I don't believe in the discrimination of anyone" while actively discriminating against people. You can't make this shit up.
You know what else is against that guy's religion?
- Eating shellfish
- Getting tattoos
- Wearing mixed fabric clothing
- Eating a cheeseburger
- Eating pork
- Trimming your beard
- Cultivating more than one kind of plant in a patch of soil
Doubtful he’s aware of any of those things, those types don’t study the Bible on their own, just use it an excuse for their hate.
Many old testament laws where more about living and have many verses about doing day to day stuff, like clothing one was about not destroying cloths while washing them, because of diferent materials. Most important fact is that after his death Jesus lifted most of this laws, and made love the most important thing above all else. Still some of old laws have some use like fasting and prohibiting self harm while grieving which was stated in bible before tatoos. They are also understandable because in ancient times geting infected was a lot more likely and dangerous.
@@rootfish2671 The fact that none of his Christian views came up in a game about high fantasy worldbuilding, murder, and characters who worship made up gods until the topic of sexuality and gender identity is a pretty big indicator that he was never too "christan" until it was convenient.
@@Kaspar_Ementaller Jesus didn't abolish anything. Matthew 5: 17-19, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
So what is dangerous and infectious about being gay?
Actually, for the beard part. you are and are not supposed to trim the beard.
As a Christian, I sincerely apologize for the bigotry of other "Christians". It pains me as someone who is both Christian and an ally. You are loved, lovable, and acceptable as you are with your entire identity. Please know that bigots aren't representing the God I worship.
Amen.
Fortunately Christians have a place for bigots.
Same for me. It disgust me that people in our Faith have that kind of reasoning. Christianism is supposed to be about loving thy neighboor, why do so little people get that?!
LITERALLY I HATE BIGOTED CHRISTIANS LIKE THAT IT MAKES ME SICK THEY ARE NOT TRUE CHRISTIANS *WE ARE LITERALLY TOLD TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER*
Good thing there's already a place for them, if you know what I mean.
Christian here. Best friend is bi, her wife is lesbian. Good friend is gay. Got trans acquaintances.
Therefore I think it's in my rights to tell Christianplayer "Pull the other one, it has bells on it."
Actually doing the Lord's work!
I know a trans woman that's a preacher at her church! This nonsense about "Christians must hate Big Gay" is like Wile E. Coyote trying to block a falling boulder with a tiny umbrella, it's so hilariously not going to hide your obvious unfounded bigotry.
I remember a particular bit of dialogue about God and gender stuff that lives in my brain: in summary, the person who wrote it proposed that trans people exist the same reason we can make bread or wine, so that people can share in the joy of creation and change.
@@etcetera1995 That's beautiful:)
At this point the number of Christians who are totally fine with LGBT stuff (as long as we don't try to force it down their throats) outweighs the amount of people who are so openly against it, and in my experience, it seems like the LGBT hatred comes from family/friends seeing it as wrong, not the actual religious teachings. I haven't been to a single church in the last 23 years that hasn't been okay with me being a Gay man. They never try to force any anti-LGBT views on me, they never try to "change" me, and they never threaten me. Just like nobody likes when religious folks try to force their views on others or in the games they play, people equally don't like having LGBT elements forced onto them or the games they play. I'd say that's fair. I say this as a Gay Man who understands that both sides have their issues and bad actors.

Babe wake up! New nightmares beyond my comprehension just dropped!
the guy complaining because the group dropped him for being transphobic is laughable. a DnD group is not an organization or a club, its just a group of people playing a game. they could kick you out simply because they dont want to play with you anymore! and thats preferrable because if he would have stayed, guaranteed the other players would be giving him the cold shoulder lol
Well, at least he didn't summon the might of :"Florida Man". He makes even the worst willd magic table look tame by comparison.
The guy justifying using the term for being a bigot to describe the group he got kicked out from, literally just called himself out. The irony! XD
Also love the new look for your rat version of yourself. It's so cute and fluffy! (Well, maybe not the eldritch horror aspect, but hey, some might think it's adorable, lol) Also, if you ever get to the point of doing a plushie of that character, I would totally get one!
Been a while since we had a story that made Crispy slowly go from normal to creep voice.
If I had a nickel for every TTRPG horror story I heard that included a bigot using religion as an excuse to be bigoted I would be incredibly wealthy and that makes me deeply sad. (edited for spelling)
Unfortunately dnd appeals to all types, even bigots who just like to roleplay fascists
The existence of my trans friends, my own personal existence, is neither a political nor moral question. We exist, period.
If our existence is, to you, a question to be debated, I wanted nothing to do with you. There might be something to get you to understand why calling a person's right to exist as they are into question is a serious problem, but I have neither the time nor the ability to find that something which is why I simply cut ties.
Again, saying it nice and loud here:
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SOMEBODY BEING A CHRISTIAN OR WHATEVER.
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY EXISTENCE OR THE EXISTENCE OF MY FRIENDS BEING A QUESTION REQUIRING DISCUSSION TO FIND AN ANSWER TO.
fucking based. You dont have to justify your existence to anyone. And its absolutely bullshit that in this "oh so advanced civilised age", some people still need to fight for that "right".
It shouldnt even be a right, rights imply its something society graciously gives you, it's just a thing that should be a given for all humans.
Florida has crocs too. indigenous species but they are rarer so they are way more protected than alligators.
oh yeah, American crocodile iirc. it's an endangered species, I think. apparently a lot more of the southeast used to be some form of wetlands than still exists today, so species that rely on them are far fewer in number, like the croc, and also a lot of species of carnivorous plants that seem to gravitate towards the southeast. there's even a native species of river cane that's both minimally documented due to scarcity, and the sole-habitat of a species of pitcher plant that only grows in like, two places in the entire world.
I know this got away from me a bit but I've never not thought this information was cool ever since I first learned of it. the part of the country where I live used to be a radically different place than it is today, and you can still see the remnants of it if you look hard enough.
I was going to post the same thing. Though honestly, alligators are worse as far as my experience goes, haven’t heard of any crocs the size of a station wagon disrupting a military base’s capability to use runways or having to change vehicle parking to accommodate where it likes to spend time.
@@nvfury13 they both get pretty big and scary. I'm inclined to avoid them both.
As a practicing Christian that persons post was pretty childish and embarrassing. Definitely NOT a person who shows the love of Christ
I’m an extremely devout Christian. That poster needs some prayers AF. JESUS HIMSELF stated that the only two most important rules is love God and love your neighbor. Multiple times it states not to judge people. I fully believe if Jesus was alive today, he’d hang out at gay bars and have fun with people of all walks of life.
Plus I am lgbtq myself, (not stating which because I have not come out yet due to horrid views of those around me) and my fiance is out as nonbinary.
We are ALL created in Gods image. And God the father is not shown in any humanoid form, meaning that doesn’t mean physical image. We are created in his image by having sentience and complex emotions and thoughts.
I really don’t see how anything trans goes against the Bible. It’s changing pronouns and sometimes getting surgery. If trans is wrong, then changing anything about how you look and present, changing aesthetic, styling your hair, getting piercings, tattoos, etc is also wrong. Which makes no sense.
God is called He even though he definitely has no physical gender since he has no physical form. So who cares if we change our pronouns and body???
TLDR: Christians have forgotten how to “love thy neighbor, don’t judge, and respect all of God’s children.”
Based.
Definitely one of the most "No hate like Christian love" stories out there.
The idea of if you discriminate against discriminatory people then that’s just more discrimination and you’re no better than them makes me go ballistic. It’s the stupidest take ever.
There you go, now your avatar looks like SCP-049's fursona proper!
Seriously though, it's a good change! The art form is very clean and aesthetic.
It honestly gives me more inspo to draw or write lore for the little guy. He could make for some interesting oneshots.
As for the last story- my best friends are from Kentucky and just celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary. I can assure you that I have been called 'hun' on just about a daily basis from her but she would NEVER think of leaving her husband (who is a great guy in his own right). Some times folks are just that desperate, unfortunately.
Tolerance means to accept everything EXECPT Intolerance.
Bro says "I'm not going to attack trans people, I don't believe in violence" like it's not less than the bare minimum
Oh god, the dude who wants credit for not doing hate crimes... What? I feel like you can chalk that up as a threat, like "nice place you got here, be a shame if something bad happened to it."
The bad advertisement for Christianity is well within his right to believe what he wants. And the people around him are within their right to not associate with him. Everyone's got there rights that they're all entitled too.
Just stop whining when someone else uses their rights.
Preach. You wanna say intolerance should be tolerated, you gotta accept not being tolerated yourself.
Classic "rules ofr thee but not for me", they're type to cry about "freedom of speech" when people push back agaisnt their bigoted comments, when really everyone is both in thr right to voice their opinion amd speak agaisnt the opinions of others
Sorry, human rights trump religious rights. Being a bigot isn't protected by the law.
the new model's tiny paws😍
Ah yes...biblically accurate Crispy
Sorry but if someone is that extreme with their Christianity, why are they even playing D&D? Don't those people usually think it's satanic?
Literally! Dude has such big fundie energy and yet he’s playing dnd? 😅
Classic cherry picker, "I believe in the parts that support my bias and hate but the parts that don't suit my biases or desires are 'up for interpretation' or are from the wrong part of the Bible."
It's the fundie paradox. They decry whatever goes against their personal idea of Christianity (which is often false), but pick things that also go against those views (again, incorrect. There's nothing in the Bible about TTRPGs, and anything concerning homosexuality is heavily debated by many Biblical scholars).
Fundamentalism has gone off the rails. The movement started with a series of books called The Fundamentals, which outlined the ten? fundamentals of what it meant to be a Christian. Guess what things _weren’t_ on that list. Hint, most of the shit that so-called fundamentalists spout off about nowadays.

Florida has both alligators and crocodiles, mainly due to the fact it has all kinds of every water because its just the sedimentary pond float of america.
Pretty sure I had something similar happen with a local FLGS where the owner posted some hardcore alt-right stuff online and then was surprised when he lost nearly all his customers. The owner of the store I go to is fairly centrist but also doesn't talk about controversial stuff in the store, keeps it all family friendly and inviting, so I got to hear about this all second-hand from him. The other store owner even tried to sell his store to the guy I know, who just told him to take a flying leap (he didn't want to be caught dead holding the bag after the guy had tarnished THAT name).
No idea what exactly was said, though I'm pretty sure the dude was literally allowing some grognards who happened to be not-seas to play openly in his store, then tried to defend them when they said or did something... weird shtuff all told.
The little ear and tail poses! New rat is adorable.
yoo i wrote the co-dm story! i was hella taken aback. im glad it was included. thank ya crispy~!

I was just thinking like a week ago: Crispy has been doing some revisions of the show in most areas, except his avatar. Wonder if he'll update that as well.
And now he did. Neat.
Especially as there were some minor inconsistencies that slightly bugged me with the old one, even if they were only nitpicks.
10:50 you could say that the store transitioned :P I'm lucky in that my local community is very supportive of the LBGTQ+ community and makes me feel safe and at home with them.
That is simply put..THE BEST COMEBACK A STORE OWNER COULD DO.
Buy their shitty place, make it what they hate and be even more popular. Lmao
"Ive never physically attacked someone I just want to deny your right to exist and support legislation and positions meant to encourage children to *insert awful self harm*.

"Don't make it weird" YOU MADE IT WEIRD ALREADY
You can say whatever you like about people, but they aren't going to want to hang out and play games with you lol
"Yours. Not mine."❤ I see what you did there Guardian.
God I hate that hypocritical effort at reversal by bigots of "if you don't let me discriminate then you're the one discriminating!"
"What are you talking about???"
You had me ROFL during the second story. Also, I, too, have the Curse of the Baby-Face. Haven't gotten carded regularly since my mid-thirties but a decade on, and age guesses for me still land on 28 to 30. But it's fine (said the bowler-hatted dog in the burning establishment). It's fiiiiine. When us baby-faced peeps are 85 ... we'll LOOK 65. Well-played, to us?
That last story ... I took a shower an hour ago. I think I'll take another. Right now. With an industrial scrubber and the hot water set to "liquefy."
I hope the actual FBI was listening in, for real. I've never before said that in my life but ... I hope they were. Yuck.
Okay, so, regarding the papoose: a married couple I knew played a duo in the old Living Greyhawk convention play campaign for D&D 3.x. The wife played a Half-Orc Fighter/Rogue, and her husband played a Gnome Bard whose Perform skill was basically "The Dozens"--artistic insults meant to distract and infuriate your opponent. And yes, the Gnome rode around in a backpack with holes cut in it for his arms and legs. It was hilarious, especially on those occasions when the half-orc calmly informed the Gnome that if he didn't shut his mouth and stop antagonizing some random NPC, she was going to tie up the backpack and drop him in the river.
AWW The new sprite is so cute!
New rat looks so smug.
I love it ❤
Crispy, I absolutely love your take on the voice of a mean narrow-minded person

I remember when Dark Tower closed. Only found out why a couple years later, and it hit me pretty hard as a trans woman who’d spent a lot of time in that space as a kid. Luckily, the folks at Aegis are a lovely bunch, and it’s practically the same business in the same building, just with better management.
Omg new crispy is so cute and fluffy! Human crispy remains really cool, and fun to listen to, and funny. Watched your other vid and I'm hoping things are steadily balancing out.
I love the new style for the mascot. Very adorable. I will say I really liked the cute big eyed pose that was used for the old sprite and miss it dearly
My DM is christian and when it comes to homophobic rules in bible he always say "this rules were written for israelites before jesus came. Im not israelite in pre jesus era"

If your religion tells you to hate people, you need a new religion.
My home town comic store had similar issues. Before when I first started going there in high school, it was great and nuetral and not bigoted at all. And then the original guy who made it sold it years after I moved away. The people who took it over where super conservative and I couldnt go there anymore because they were assholes. Then they ran it into the ground and as far as I know now, there isnt one anymore. Which is sad and frustrating.
Fun fact: The Everglades is the only place in the world where crocodiles and alligators coexist. So Florida does indeed have both
Hey, people who have a good session 0... what do you DO? Every time I've tried one it's been super awkward and quickly devolved into an encyclopedia reading of random world building info that my adhd brain can NOT deal with. I wanna play in the world, explore it, not attend a lecture of Forgotten Realms history 101... all of the silly nonsense words just flow out of my brain as a DM does a not-so dramatic reading of the book (I'm the boring DM at my games too).
What are you supposed to do that's taking a whole game session? Make characters? But then everyone's talking and you can't focus... besides, everyone probably already had their character concepts in place when you said which campaign you were running. The last time I didn't bring a characters to a session 0 (when the dm said he didn't want us to) I showed up with just a concept and felt super rushed picking feats and magic items..
Everyone just talks about how helpful session 0 is and I legit can't figure out what people are actually *doing*
one thing for example is to focus les son the game and more about the game. The premis eof the campaign should already have been given when pitching to the players. At session 0 you can talk about expectations, what do you like in a game and perhaos what you would like to see, like intruige, war stories, dungeon crawling, exploraiton, puzzles, investigations and more. Also what you dont like and potential fears and boundaries of stuff.
If character concepts are starting ot be done session 0 is a good place to start weaving them together, do some party members share a backstory, did they trave together briefly before the campaign started. How do they know eachother etc etc. Leave the worldbuilding aspects more to actually in game than out of it.
Everyone has the right to their opinions. Just like others have the right to not associate with you based on your opinions.
Facts! It is absolutely his God given right to be homophobic. Just like it’s our God given right to make fun of him!
The southern slang bit I feel SO HARD. Im not from the south BUT my mom and her parents were and so I grew up hearing and using that slang. The amount of times people though I was flirting by using "hun" as a term like "dude" got to the point that I trained myself to stop using slang like that. I even got rid of my second hand southern accent because of the weird comments. Then there were the people who got offended by it. I didn't think it was that big of a deal but it always caused a problem
13:38 as a Christian this shit pisses me off so much. I wanna be clear I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming Christian and am queer myself. The part of the verse that guy was quoting actually tells us to speak the truth in LOVE which is something that coincidentally these people always seem to forget. Absolute bill shit.
if you ever meet scum like that in your religious circles, ask them why they think God is so incompetent, that He gave *so* many humans LGBT+ identities despite apparently hating all queerness
@@dusksentry5836lol they would just say it was the devil's fault. And it would turn into a circular argument. And it's not up to the commenter to judge and their God can do that. You cannot pin the sins of one onto the many. That's just effing crazy.
You own that lipstick tangentially. Just SLAY! Also Florida man being a wild magic mage checks out. Everbody fears the Florida man!
Here is also a thing: If you play with tables you haven't checked, you still can just... not abide by them. When you read "15 Dire crocodiles" mid combat, you are absolutely allowed to make that 1 Dire crocodile on the fly.
Dear Gods Crispy you must keep on the mask! That much beauty cannot be left unveiled to the world!
the best use of co-dm'ing I've seen/done is typically guest characters that play one or more npcs (works best if you have a voice actor / impressionist friend) or use them to bounce off of in cutscenes/npc-on-npc rp and combat when you have a bunch of moving parts. Typically you pass to or the co-dm just takes over when you need time to prep or aren't there. I've even seen some people who pass certain scenes entirely to the co-dm (I assume the co-dm just wrote those scenes/quests and/or are really attached to the character in said scene, so the dm let's em take it).
Oh joy, yet another Christian who thinks he's being persecuted. 🙄 He can cry me a river.
Your new avatar looks so good, Crispy! 😊
A good example of co-DMing is Tales from the Stinky Dragon. There's three co-DMs on that podcast and they all have very clearly defined roles. Gus interacts with the players, handling rolls and RP. Micah writes the over-arching narrative and occasionally helps with mechanics explanations and determining whether to bend the rules for a player for cool/funny reasons. Ben assists Micah with story writing and helps both other DMs provide hints to move the players in the right direction to solve puzzles/progress the story without giving the whole thing away.
How well their setup would work outside of a real-play podcast, I can't say, but it certainly works well for the show.
Im Really glad that all my friends are open minded , and even my straight friends are really kind and understanding... Im not transsexual , but i am homossexual and I really dont know how I would react if people attacked me for being gay (like , attack for real... some of my friends makes gay jokes and stuff , but they are only harmless jokes and i dont take it to heart). im just glad it havent happened yet.

Hearing you slowly turn into SAO Abbridged's Kirito during the bigot story had me cackling.

Bigots claiming they have the right to be prejudiced is laughable. There is no right to be a bigot.
Nor is it a "belief" to be a bigot.
