      Yes dungeons and dragons is becoming dungeons and democrats. They have got rid of races for species, got rid of books because they promoted racism (fantasy racism...), your character can be non binary or trans, you don't have to choose a race for the stats just put them anywhere, they are homogenizing the classes, and rules are nebulous and can be ruled however your dem dm prefers them at their table. You had to have the jab if you did a game store. Etc.

      No kidding. As an old fart, 52, I remember game stores being full of conservative grognards who were into guns and military stuff. I don't remember anyone ever being turned away but nobody batted an eye at a mini or book cover with boobs on it or bitching about gender roles and representation. It was simply come and play. Now if you question how one of the game characters chasing down or running from monsters around a city or spaceship can be accomplishing this in a wheelchair as represented in the game you are ostracized.

      Enough decades of overly expanded franchise and leftist public school teachers have pulled the wisdom of the average voter down below a sustainable level.
