On a tangential note, Scrabble is a feminist's nightmare. "According to Hasbro, 83% of recreational Scrabble players 25 to 54 are female." (Source: <https://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/sorry-feminists-men-are-better-scrabble-11611.html>) And yet at the competitive level, the people memorizing all the obscure words (like QAT and QI) and using them to dominate games are mostly men.

Even before George Floyd was killed, there was a list of "offensive" words that were legal in tournament Scrabble, but not printed in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary for home and school use. All the aforementioned slurs (except the F-words for gay men) were on that list, as are some amusing words like REDNECK, CRAPPER (but not CRAP), and one of my favorites, FEMINAZI. That last word will probably be treated as a slur and banned, but imagine: FEMINIST and NAZI are both legal in Scrabble (apparently, enough people use "nazi" without a capital N to not violate the "no proper names" rule of Scrabble), but if you combine them. . . slur!

2020-07-31 02:16:47 UTC  

I like the characters, but never played the game much. Before I was a furry, I preferred Mario over Sonic.

2020-07-31 02:17:37 UTC  

I enjoy the games for what they are

2020-07-31 03:44:30 UTC

Why is Pokemon getting so damn easy

2020-07-31 21:08:00 UTC  

Sword and Shield sucked

2020-07-31 21:08:24 UTC  

Literally exp share is automatically built in the game now you get no say in whether or not it's used

2020-07-31 21:09:01 UTC  

There's no story whatsoever and there is basically nothing in the post game

2020-07-31 21:09:16 UTC  

I am not paying extra for the post game, the other games had it for free

2020-07-31 21:13:25 UTC

I wish there were a good un-woke or anti-woke tabletop gaming community, since the one I was a member of for years decided to side with Burn Loot Murder last month. 😐

Fames of war

@Mauler I don't know what "Fames of war" is. There's a wargame called "Flames of War", but I'm not incredibly interested in complicated wargames with miniatures and stuff. In any event, I'm looking for a community devoted to tabletop gaming as a whole, not a single specific game (even if its fanbase happens to be anti-woke). I'm mostly into abstract strategy games (AbStrats), because they tend to have rules which are easier to learn and easier to teach to normies.

2020-07-31 22:22:15 UTC  

Lol
