This is what happens when you don't gatekeep your hobby, you get weirdo grifters that infest your favorite activities with their weirdo ideologies and everything turns to shit.
These people don't make or create a damn thing. They jump into other fandoms, take it over, then shit on the people that started it all. Happens in movies, happens in games, and happens in music. Once they have driven out every actual fan of the game, they will let it die... only then might there be hope for the game. When the parents of these spoiled, woke losers pass away we will see how their iron strength through wokeness fades and they fall into a deep dark place in their lives, forced to confront their demons. Cancel culture is children who throw a fit and want to take their toys home when they don't get their way. They are the kids who throw a fit at another child's birthday party and demand one of the gifts "because I deserve one too".
This is awful. I mentioned this whole issue to my father. He played dnd when he was young, when the game was first released, and the two of us talked about Gygax and how much of a blessing he was on the world. I cannot describe the insult that the two of us experience at any attack on Gygax or his masterpieces.
This is happening to every hobby, and beloved IPs, and people that support the ruination of our hobbies and the IPs are not fans and never were. it's insane.
Not all that surprising WotC have been cultivating the hatred forward Gary Gygax for quite a while now. You just have to youtube search dungeons and dragons horror stories to know what this new audience of players are about.
I don't know, I'm glad he's dead, too, but not for the reason they are. I'm glad he's not here to see what they've done to his game. The game that brought me to play with those I'd hate in any other venue, without a hint of animosity, doesn't deserve what it's become. If Gygax were alive today I think he'd be heartbroken at where his legacy has been taken.
@@recatwc It would be amazing to see, wouldn't it? I still think if Elon bought Hasbro, he should just kill off the current edition and get some editors to clean up tge rule presentation for 1e/2e and re-release that.
I'm "middle aged" and have played D&D nearly my whole life, started as a child with my parents. Now, I have completely stopped playing D&D because it has been taken over by the woke and alphabet mafia. Such a shame.
Don't let those idiots dictate what you should do. Stopping your enjoyment of the game to their wokeness just encourages them to do more wokeness. Screw them and find like-minded people to enjoy it with. There are other creators of material that are very similar to D & D. There is a reason that their way of thinking was demolished in the last election. They are nobody important.
I remember back in the 90s seeing how DnD was loved in the nerd community. Sure, there were discussions about the rules and the occasional oddball players that played it. In the end, players loved the lore, seeing DnD as a hangout game among friends. The only thing we had to worry about were bullies. Today, you might as well have told the bullies that they were right.
Because firstly this is the internet. I mean read comments about Bob Worldbuilder or Sly Florish on some streams. Toxic people always prowl the internet. Secondly many people weren't around in the 70s and 80s. They have no idea how important Mr Gygax was. I mean the guy was no saint. He was a human being. And for me that means that he was a child of his time. And the times were a lot more sexist than they are today.
I was literally walking out of a used bookstore 30 minutes ago with a copy of Aesheba: Greek Africa by Gary Gygax when I saw you posted this video. I have absolutely no need for this book in my current gaming but the idea of owning a book penned by Gary Gygax in 1987 was something I couldn’t pass up. It is really too bad that the new generation of gamers is so narcissistic that they can’t see the genius of what came before.
Woke, is the way of envy. They can't create anything of their own so all they can do is tear down what others have created. They all play dnd because non of the games they have tried to create, can't even get passed a gofundme
This reminds me of when Stan Lee passed away, and Marvel Comics allowed all the hateful things to be said about him without any recourse. However, I thin this is even worse. With Stan, it only stuck around for maybe a year? With Gary, it's been nonstop these past few years. Completely uncalled for.
These Rainbow Warrior Slits are loud but not even close to the majority. Go woke, go broke. All of business, even Disney, finally, have figured it out. Hasbro will too and fire all that trash from Wisbro and push some of the dung out of the fandom.
At my table I have final say over what rules are used and what aren't. ANY DM has that authority. The ONE immutable rule I have is "check the real world at the door". No pronouns, no "safe space signals", no "consent checklists", none of that. Don't like it? Go find another DM and trust me, that's not easy at all.
I'm glad Gary Gygax is no longer in this world to witness the atrocities and disrespect they have done to DnD cause imagine his reaction if he is still alive and saw what they did to his masterpiece
Gygax would be appalled at what is being done to D&D today. edit: Kids these days do not even understand dungeons and dragons, I swear. Those are not Orcs btw. Orcs for the most part are chaotic and brutal creatures that live in a tribal society.
I knew in 1997 that the game was going down. Wizards of the Coast are money grubbers and I am pleased that I retained all of my previous material, especially the original hardbound books. I don't play anymore but reading over the material from time to time always puts a smile on my face and takes me to a happy place in my past. Thank you for making those memories possible E. Gary Gygax.😊
Just like Magic, WotC managed to ruin D&D. There is nothing of the old game left here. Our group hasn't touched anything after 3,5 and we don't plan to. Modern day D&D exists only for activists, influencers, and those who simply want to play short sessions and forget about them the next day.
As a person who started playing with fifth edition, I’d have to say my 10 years or so of playing it I have definitely seen how things have changed just in comparison to my month of trying to play 3.5. Fifth edition, as far as I am aware is easier to make homebrewed concepts, meanwhile 3.5 is generally better
WOW ?? Watching this on Christmas day and seeing some Demon say people are happy they are DEAD is absolutely monstrous and demonic . To everyone else Have a great day with all your families today . Merry Xmes 😁🙏👍💖
P.s. That last piece of artwork you're complaining about isn't 'new' It is clearly basing itself of the 1983 animated series of dungeons and dragons, of the characters Diana, Eric and Presto.
The article saying that Gygax is redeemed cause he was a Christian is just as cringe as the Discord Server saying he was a deplorable man. For all his sins, all his good acts, Gygax was human at the end of it all. He helped make something that a lot of us really enjoy, even though WOTC ruined a lot of it. But let's not act like he isn't above criticism even being a Christian. Even as a Christian I find that cringe. Play DND how you want to play it, starve WOTC/HASBRO from your money. Hell I play A5E by EN Publishing, it's a lot better than WOTC could ever make it.
As someone from Europe, who isn't as politically polarized as someone from America, I have an opinion that differs quite a lot from both radical sides. I've been into fantasy and D&D since I was a kid, which was hard for me as a girl in a post-communist country (we even had our own version of D&D - Dragon Lair because of licensing issues). The sexism in the community was really big back then, but it has been decreasing a lot for some time. Gary Gygax was a little piece of sht, objectively. He was really a big chauvinist (women are inferior in all aspects), but I view him as any other historical figure - he was a person, and we have to look at him as such. I'm definitely not for viewing him as innocent and perfect, but I am grateful for what he invented and his contribution to my community. But again, I feel that we in Europe (excluding big cities like Berlin, Paris... and all of the UK, that's lost case) don't have as strong an influence from WOKE activists. I don't know anyone here who is non-binary or particularly woke. So, there isn't such hysteria over diversity here.
their identity is their degeneracy which they force onto people proudly and blatantly. they just picked up d&d to spread their filth there and because they already liked "role playing".
I say the same about people who call themselves "40k fans" when they're defending lore breaking nonsense like "black ultra marine", or "female astartes". Each and every astartes is based of their primarch. And the ultra marines primarch is a white dude. Also we already have badass female "space marines". They're called sisters of battle.

What is wrong with ppl? Without Gygax, there would be no D&D. He built the franchise fcol. How on earth do you plan to sell the game when attacking Gygax legacy when the majority of fans move away.

Ya know, I get how people would find some of the old stuff offensive. Like the "Oriental Adventures." But instead of attacking the man for making stuff like this, I think we should be happy. The OA started with him, but was expanded upon by others. Instead of being upset that Gygax tried to treat concepts like Honor in the Far East as scoreboard with little nuance, understand it was guidelines for a DM to work with and others to expand on. The Oriental Adventures is a book that gives you the building blocks for an Asia themed campaign, and I think that's great. I was a little kid when these "Foreign" settings were introduced, but as like a 6 year old who's favorite movie was Aladdin, I ADORED Al-Qadim. It was obviously far beyond my understanding, a little kid isn't gonna think "You know, this really does not portray the middle east and Muslims in a respectful manner!" I'm gonna be singing "Arabian Nights!" and quoting the movie! And then there was the art, as a little kid, I was given a D&D Artbook that showed all the beautiful works they did promoting their settings. Unfortunately old D&D was way too hard to learn for little kid me, and even then, nobody knew what Al-Qadim was. But I got to play the PC game back then, that was cool, very colorful too compared to the other D&D games at the time. Though the pots legit freaked me out in the game cause I saw a art piece of giant skeletons in pots so I see a room full of giant pots and think "I'm gonna die!"
I don't consider any employee of Hasbro/WOTC to be worthy of defense...but ALSO I don't think the intention of this 'mechanic' primarily pertains to sexuality/fetish gameplay enhancement. It appears to be a "codification" for woke-ness - AKA, your mental/emotional triggers SHALL be taken seriously, or ELSE... Though it obviously lends itself to THAT, as well... I DO believe several of your observations pertain to 'posturing' (signaling, influencing, featuring - all in the interest of self-promotion). It can't be that every 'adventurer' has completely bought into the brainwashing of the current status quo: D&DEI Gygax needs to be left alone. The dead deserve an appropriate aspect of rest. Especially if one possesses ANY gratitude towards their personal triumphs and legacy.
Dungeons and Dragons is dead. Don´t support it anymore and let Hasbro die with it. Thank God Gygax is not around seeing how they destroyed DnD in 5.0 and the weirdos that came with it/took over.
Ok, so forming an X is bdsm, then i guess elon has created the biggest bdsm platform of all time. I also guess that right wingers cant have two different opinions on a person. For example, liking what someone has created, despite not agreeing with his views although they werent necessarily bad at the time.
Elon didn't create X. He bought Twitter and renamed it to X. And no, "forming an X" isn't BDSM. The complaint is that BDSM tools have become part of official D&D, which is a game played by children. Right-wingers are tolerant of diverse views, unlike the so-called tolerant and diverse modern-day left. For example, I disagree on Gygax's belief in Christianity, but I have no problem with him having those views. I certainly don't celebrate his death for it. I really don't understand where you got that view of right-wingers from.
@georgebailey8179 because repeatedly in this video he says that the people owe their careers to gygax and so they cannot be critical of him in any way. And left wing people are not tolerant of your intolerance. That is correct. If you stop creating legislation which harms us, we might be willing to listen to you

Though the pots legit freaked me out in the game cause I saw a art piece of giant skeletons in pots so I see a room full of giant pots and think "I'm gonna die!"
With Muslims, being respectful and being truthful are mutually exclusive anyway.

And look upon the tolerant.
I don't/wont buy wotc until they change. They can play their games but I vote with my money...
I don't consider any employee of Hasbro/WOTC to be worthy of defense...but ALSO I don't think the intention of this 'mechanic' primarily pertains to sexuality/fetish gameplay enhancement.
It appears to be a "codification" for woke-ness - AKA, your mental/emotional triggers SHALL be taken seriously, or ELSE...
Though it obviously lends itself to THAT, as well...
I DO believe several of your observations pertain to 'posturing' (signaling, influencing, featuring - all in the interest of self-promotion). It can't be that every 'adventurer' has completely bought into the brainwashing of the current status quo: D&DEI
Gygax needs to be left alone. The dead deserve an appropriate aspect of rest. Especially if one possesses ANY gratitude towards their personal triumphs and legacy.
You want to play a game that's based?
Go buy Everyday Heroes.
Is the Pathfinder community any better than this? If not, what are some alternatives to DnD that people recommend?
Pathfinder is Woke and have alot of woke things in their products, too. But they don't trash the creators. I recommend Castles and Crusades.

Ai thumbnail 👎
Wait wut??
Dungeons and Dragons is dead. Don´t support it anymore and let Hasbro die with it.
Thank God Gygax is not around seeing how they destroyed DnD in 5.0 and the weirdos that came with it/took over.
Ok, so forming an X is bdsm, then i guess elon has created the biggest bdsm platform of all time.
I also guess that right wingers cant have two different opinions on a person. For example, liking what someone has created, despite not agreeing with his views although they werent necessarily bad at the time.
In English please?
Elon didn't create X. He bought Twitter and renamed it to X. And no, "forming an X" isn't BDSM. The complaint is that BDSM tools have become part of official D&D, which is a game played by children.
Right-wingers are tolerant of diverse views, unlike the so-called tolerant and diverse modern-day left. For example, I disagree on Gygax's belief in Christianity, but I have no problem with him having those views. I certainly don't celebrate his death for it. I really don't understand where you got that view of right-wingers from.
@georgebailey8179 because repeatedly in this video he says that the people owe their careers to gygax and so they cannot be critical of him in any way.
And left wing people are not tolerant of your intolerance. That is correct. If you stop creating legislation which harms us, we might be willing to listen to you
@@pinnyskinis9411 Nobody would bat an eye at constructive criticism. There appears to be precisely 0 of that however.
And you're damn right child molesters will not be tolerated.
@@pinnyskinis9411 Child predators aren't people though.
I'm going to need some citations in regards to it being fetishistic... That one seems like a major reach.
You're on youtube, they're a click away.
@wrongthinker843 I'm not even entirely sure how to go about looking for it... And I am not sure I want to make an errant search.
@@Deridus Then you won't want to see the citations either...
