Whenever someone responds to one of those posts pointing out that D&D only players will almost undeniably end up with a very narrow understanding of the RPG medium with accusations of elitism or "let people enjoy things" or "well yes but it's still okay to enjoy D&D and if you only enjoy D&D that's fine and a lot of people enjoy just D&D and are okay with it" there's a bit of sleight of hand going on I feel. Like, trying to turn a discussion about the monolithic stature of D&D and how D&D only players will be inevitably poorly equipped for discussions about RPGs as a medium into a moral argument, and since they have positioned themselves on the side of "it's actually morally okay to just enjoy D&D" then of course the other side of the argument must be making a moral judgement about people who play D&D.

It's very tiring and as someone who enjoys D&D among other games I wish D&D players would stop instinctively treating these discussions as if they are casting moral judgements on them and not simply observations of the material realities of the hobby. It has the markings of sore loser syndrome: the game you play is already the most popular to the point where many people are frankly sick of the way it sucks up all the oxygen from discussions, you don't get to pretend like the game is the poor underdog bullied by mean indie RPG fans online.

And like if you still feel self-conscious about the observation that playing only D&D will invariably lead to a very narrow understanding of RPGs as a medium, there is a very easy way to fix that!

my mom told me this story tonight about my grandfather. she said when he was a little boy he was afraid robbers would break into his house in the middle of the night and try to abduct him out of his bed. he thought that they would be able to feel that he was the shape of a little boy under the covers and know to grab him. so he would try to fall asleep in the shape of a letter of the alphabet. so that they would feel for him and be like "oh it's just the letter R, not a kidnappable child"

in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

My understanding is that the cut funding from Durham council was £2,500 - the trade union donations raised in response were worth £25,000

you guys need to be kinder to people you don’t find attractive. it’s getting ridiculous.

i’m fat, intersex, and disabled. so many times if i hung out with someone, their outfit gets complimented but not mine (even if i that person literally picked out my outfit so its not a matter of me just not having a good fashion taste). so many times have people treated other people around me kind but their attitude changes immediately if they have the misfortune to interact with me. i don’t do anything to warant this besides looking different. i get treated like i’m not there or not human. it sucks.

i know this affects more than just fat intersex disabled people. trans people, people of color, women in general, but especially those who have any of these traits or even just don’t wear makeup. dehumanization can be subtle. but we notice❤️
