I've seen people saying that we're overreacting to the Dropout Rookie collab but I don't think so. It isn't unrealistic to expect a company that sells "laws are threats" merch to not collab with police. This isn't expecting perfection, it's expecting consistencyof values. I'm not going to say anyone who sticks to watching Dropout is a bad person but staying personally would leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Companies and corporations aren't your friends.

Due to recent events...

[starcrossedandstupid]

The Rookie gets LAPD funding. Btw. That is why so many people are upset. Because the LAPD is awful and as a company based in LA, Dropout knows that. Especially when a cast member was arrested for protesting by the LAPD a couple years back.

There is nuance to be had, and I personally haven’t seen The Rookie and can’t speak to how they portray cops, but they get LAPD funding and I think that is very important to this whole deal.

[alfredo-zauce]

As a white person who lives far outside LAPD's jurisdiction, my thoughts on Dropout's upcoming collaboration with the copaganda show The Rookie are not important. I will add a small commentary of my own beneath a cut at the end, but I first want to elevate the voice of a Black member of our community whose guidance I will be following. Their name is Naomi Munroe, and they are a moderator of the group Game Changer: Samposting on Facebook. [Please note that Naomi is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. Additionally, if you repost this, they have asked that it be done as a screenshot with their name attached. Text has also been copied into alt text for accessibility. Link to the original post after the cut.]

Now, I do have a comment of my own that I would like to share. I know that Dropout's fanbase can be weird and parasocial. I don't try to come across that way, and I don't want to be perceived as another person making demands of a platform I've done nothing more than watch funny videos from. I know that not everyone is entitled to insider information on every concern and business decision ever.

But with the community in uproar on every platform I've been in (multiple Facebook groups, Tumblr, Bluesky, and I've heard also but don't use the platform formerly known as Twitter), it's been very hard to understand why nothing has been said by Dropout about it. There's been no statements on any platform. I'm not in a financial situation where I want to do superfan at the moment, but I've also heard secondhand accounts that it was barely mentioned in the livestream today beyond a hand-wavey, basic "they were good to work with," which does not address the actual issues at hand. I know that it's a privilege for me to be able to care about this a similar amount to the copaganda itself, but for a platform that's normally receptive, communicative, and open about these things, I just don't understand why they haven't said anything, and it's rather disappointing.

Like Naomi, I don't currently intend to act, because there's still much to be seen, but if it becomes a trend, I would certainly remember this if I were considering action on a future issue of a similar nature.

As a lover of all things Dropout who is also Black, I can’t lie and say I’m not a tad disheartened by not only their decision to partner wit

[ob-2-kenobi]

I miss the days when Dropout doing copaganda was a ridiculous joke that would never actually happen.

No company is your friend, and though it hurts I'm at least thankful to be reminded of that.

During the darkest days of the AIDS Crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon and we danced all fucking night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.

[thefiresontheheight]

Cis people think trans people have this:

Deadname

Chosen name

But honestly we really have:

Name

Other name

Deadname

Business name

Old nickname only some people have rights to use

Online name

Extra special secret name you don’t get to know, unless… ;)

[puppygirllaika]

The realization that you are not confined to one name really breaks down a lot of barriers that people who don't have to do it never realize are there.

Making a new post for pride month

Hi we need help

I have thousands of dollars of student debt that has to start being paid off this month

It took me about 5-6 years to get my associate degree because I am both physically and mentally disabled. I have done manual work for over a decade and my body has deteriorated to the point I can no longer work, and I've been trying to get on disability for TWO FUCKING YEARS.

Please help some trans women and a cat survive

Let me know if there are other ways to help/send us money, this way is just the best way to keep us as anonymous as possible.

The sheer resistance in certain circles to the idea that most big-name D&D podcasts are at least partially scripted is perplexing to me because, like, look at the fucking production values. Yeah, it was cool when the party leader biffed that last-ditch Diplomacy check to prevent a battle no-one wanted, but when the GM proceeded to wheel out $1800 worth of Dwarven Forge terrain and a custom 3D-printed minifig for their reluctant foe, it's crystal clear there was no way that fight wasn't happening.

[prokopetz]

Exercise a little reading comprehension, folks. This post isn't saying "D&D liveplay podcasts are 100% scripted". It's remarking on the tendency of certain D&D liveplay fans to get tetchy about the idea that they contain any scripted elements at all. Whether your home game also contains planned scenes isn't relevant.
