Very much one of those times where the 18+ rating is earned, and not just because of sex jokes and nudity.

I respect that they arent holding back. But fuck I can easily see how a lot of shit there could be triggering.

Indeed. He wasnt (magically) mind controlled or anything like that tho which would have been the "easy" way out for the writers.

He was brainwashed, manipulated and radicalized. Which like....feels more real, ironically enough for a high fantasy setting.

Do you know Calebs backstory from the actual play?

If yes, they dont pull any fucking punches on it.
December 4, 2025 at 12:37 PM
They arent pulling punches which is respectable.

Calebs backstory is otherwise one of those things I could see a showrunner pushing back against in a visual media cause....well its deeply fucked up and risk making him unredeemable in some peoples eyes.

Im not massive DND fanboy, you can shit on the system and I wont be upset, Im legit trying to figure out what specifically the unique issue here is.
December 4, 2025 at 12:14 PM
Can you explain more precisley what makes DND uniquely reactionairy? Genuinly.

Like Im not going to argue it doesnt or hasnt had some unfortunate shit but most of those issues seems more like a general "fantasy written by white men" problem and not really DND specific.
December 4, 2025 at 12:12 PM
The game itself is definitly not just played by regressive types otherwise stuff like Critical Role or Dimension 20 wouldnt have happend in the first place. Again tho I wont argue that DND certainly has had and has issues with classic fantasy tropes.
December 4, 2025 at 12:08 PM
Similarly I wont argue that something written and played mostly by nerdy white people has always dealt with societal issues in the best of ways.

Im not gonna try to argue DND is neccessarly progressive either, id argue its basically the status quo, for better or worse.
December 4, 2025 at 12:06 PM
I just think its too big to really make such a statement.

Like I wont argue that it doesnt have or hasnt had some problematic stuff altho I think it generally just mirrors the stuff that is popular in fantasy as a whole. Ergo where stuff hinting at biological determinism and whatnot

Gygax had some....views which did sometimes result in wierd fucking shit in early DND (see how early DND handled women) but yeah most of that stuff was scrubbed a while ago and more recently DND mostly just fall into the same traps much of fantasy does.
December 3, 2025 at 10:22 PM
I mean I still dont really agree.

Like okay Gygax had some.....interesting views and some of it certainly spilled over into game rules,but the most severe of that stuff was scrubbed away quite a while ago. Hardly "just 5 years ago"
December 3, 2025 at 10:15 PM
I mean I wouldnt say that either. Critical Role and Dimension 20 wherent people new to the hobby, there have always been theatre kids there.

It is/was a very white and male dominated hobby and it certainly didnt avoid unfortunate common fantasy tropes but I wouldnt call the hobby "reactionairy"
December 3, 2025 at 10:01 PM
I feel like they had more confidence with Mighty Nein. Or maybe the experience helped them.

Cause yeah VM falls into wanting to be an adult animated show really badly while MN....is to a greater extent.

You going to ignore hiw much Harris struggled with black and hispanic men?
December 2, 2025 at 10:10 AM
Oh fuck off lol.

No "progressives" didnt lose Harris the election. The vart majority ofnus held our noses.

Harris would have lost a 100% turnout election.

She took the bait.

I mean its unfair but if you are a trans professor you cant really not pass transphobic essays. What she probably should have done is have someone else grade it
December 1, 2025 at 11:17 PM
Id give her a passing grade cause its obvious what she is doing and fuck it Im not dealing with that.

I think that is what the professor should have done aswell. Its not fair but play the game you got not the game you want.
December 1, 2025 at 11:15 PM
Sure but it was obvious bait that the professor sadly took.

Sometimes you just gotta Chelsea your battles and frankly if you are a trans professor you just gotta let shit like that slide

Varför tycker de ens om honom egentligen.

Ja han var väl skicklig i början av kriget men i slutändan lyckades han väl typ vadå, döda svenska stormakten, gjorde Ryssland till en europeisk stormakt, för att sedan fly när saker blev tuffa.

Tbf even if there was too many false positives to be used now its the kinda thing that could hopefully be refined.
