  • And I’m sorry that I wasn’t clear. At first I missed the emoticon before catching it after. I should have been more clear my frustration was at the concept you were also poking fun at, not at you yourself. I was just waking up and the frustration I have for that line of thinking took full force there, the jokey lines in my head just didn’t materialize.

    I’m just supremely tired of seeing the people who actually do it, full throated. Doesn’t even matter if it’s dnd, just stuff in general. Like it seems to be harder and harder to find a conversation about the alternative of something that isn’t just “This sucks so mine is better.”

    Sorry. I need to actually wake up before getting on lemmy, not looking at it from the toilet first thing. That’s on me


  • I know I straight up refuse to play pathfinder because until this thread I’ve never seen anyone ever recommend Pathfinder without actively shitting on dnd. If I did then maybe I’d have tried it some point in the past few years. Taken up the many offers to play in a pathfinder game. But I hard refuse everytime. If they just said how pathfinder does stuff better, that’d be fine. But it always devolves into what dnd does worse and the endless nitpicking and complaints. No longer is pathfinder the focus. The focus becomes bitching about everyone under the sun that dnd does to the point pathfinder doesn’t even get mentioned anymore. It’s not what it does better. Every convo I’ve seen isn’t about how good pathfinder is but how bad dnd is and that level of negativity being focused on constantly just to recommend you play their game instead has always made my skin crawl. Should stand on its merits, not its competitions failures. If you can’t do that then I’m not sure what the point of it is other than “HAHA DND GET FUCKED”

    Strider is my guess but because I’m having a heart attack and need a temp distraction I am going to go look and see if I can find out.

    Alright, be right back.

    Okay so it appears the user never replied to anyone else in that thread. They never clarified what name they would have had. Their profile says anime/frog enthusiast though so take that as you will. There are also quite a few tweets backing up both of those claims.


  • I mean no offense by this, but that is an extremely cisgendered/heterosexual/white point of view. For y’all, Canada is your oyster. You get to go wherever and do whatever so you don’t really comprehend how important it is for places like this for us. Having certain bars for certain groups of people is NOT sad for all. It’s celebratory. It’s a place where people can go to be themselves. What you’re suggesting is a giant bar where both heterosexuals and homosexuals gather under the same roof. So like… how do we gays find out which one of us are gay? Do we stand in the corner? Do we develop a coded language? Do we develop coded dress? Or are we supposed to wear badges saying that we’re gay? Or is it expected that we just keep hitting on straight people when some of those people are going to get quite aggressive about being hit on by a dude after they’ve been drinking all night?

    No. We cannot co-mingle because we don’t want to. Even if we ignore all negative associations, it’s still a place where we can fully be ourselves. Where we’re not catering to straight people and celebrating OUR culture with OUR tastes and OUR wants. Not a bar that is 100% going to cater to straight people with a tiny rainbow flag in the corner saying “Slay queen!” and that’s it.
