I'm so hyped for the new egalitarian codex, with none of the elitism of old.

Ok guys, I won't reply to everybody individually, but here's the summary:
I definitely didn't mean kicking out old-timers; after all, they are pretty much the only reason I still read these forums *despite* everything else that's going on. And while I'm by no means what you would call "reactionary", I've been able to look past the political remarks of these old posters in the past and just focus on what we have in common: the love for good cRPGS. It's just that these sort of remarks have become more and more extreme recently and that's a bit too much. I personally wish they toned it down a little, you know? But again, I wasn't talking about kicking out the old timers.
I was mainly talking about the influx of mostly politically motivated, low-effort shitposters in the last few years who bring the quality of the whole forum down. Some of you might not notice them, or they might not bother you as much because their views align with yours. To me personally this is bothersome because what I liked (still like) about games is that they're apolitical, not related to real world shit. But then, I don't play many new games, and definitely not mainstream ones when I do. I get it why some of you are upset about people making new games political; I think it's a sad side effect of RPGs not being a niche hobby anymore. But what can you do about it? It's not that people are holding guns to the devs' heads to put in some gay characters. They just want to sell games to a wider audience, I guess... I honestly don't care about that too much, if the game is good otherwise and it has a few gays, I don't give a fuck. But usually the game isn't good, and that's the bigger (and to me, pretty much the only) problem.
You know, it's a bit like ranting about why today's pop music sucks; I could do that all day, but what's the point? It just gets tiring, and I don't listen to that shit anyway. I put in some good 80s metal and that's it
I think Rougey summarised it the best: "The progs are getting louder about their politics in games which in turn is causing reactionaries to get thin-skinned about things that wouldn't have bothered them ten years ago".

I don't get it.
As you said, you are interested in oldschool RPG. Every single thread of oldschool RPG here are not poozed, people are always on-topic, really great at answering your questions and always there to motivate people to play more of those games. So, you can access codex, post on those thread and never ever see any of those people complaining about niggers destroying their hobbies. Yet, you are still complaining about this?

Yeah, I'm in the oldschool RPG subforums most of the time. They're great, agreed. But I also check the news regularly, the GOTY votings, etc., and there's significantly more noise in those threads, that's hard not to notice.
I'm not really complaining, I get it that there's an overlap between being reactionary and an oldschool cRPG fan, I can get over that part. I guess I just don't want the *whole* site to be taken down by the authorities because it gets labeled as a neo-nazi forum or something. Then *everything* would be gone for good, including those oldschool game threads, and I definitely don't want that to happen.
Personally, I'd prefer the codex, and *especially* those oldschool threads to keep existing, that's where I'm coming from, that's all.

Amusingly enough* some people seem all to happy to hold a gun to other people's careers and livelihoods at least.
*) Not.
Yeah, I read about those incidents and it's abysmal, agreed. But say tomorrow I write my own game, I find it hard to believe that I would get into "difficulties" just because there's no gays and trans people in it.
EDIT: Ok, maybe if it goes through some major publisher, they will ask for that because they think it could "reach a wider audience" or something. I haven't thought of that before, it's a possibility.

Erm, you saw what happened when Kingdom Come was in development and people noticed it wasn't full of niggers, right?

Wheedling dishonest faggot.
B-baka, it's not like I WANT to cowtow to globalism or anything, it's just that we *have* to cuck out and neuter ourselves to save the forum from being associated with those disgusting far-right neo-nazi bigots, and stuff!!

Like I said, I have *zero* care or interests for politics, I'm here for the games. Do you truly don't understand what I'm saying, or have you spent so much time trolling and putting words into other people's mouths that you can't tell the difference anymore?

In current_year all forms of media, including video games, are heavily politicized and infused with idpol and degeneracy. If we're cucking out to "save the forum", then video game discussion will have to be heavily censored as well. You being fine with this doesn't make you any less of a fake and a shill.

I'm here for the games but I'll put people who pressed the cuck button because they didn't like my political opinions on ignore so I can't see their posts about games.

Right on, man. "fake and a shill" -- that seems to be the code in your vocabulary for "this person doesn't agree with my paranoid worldview". Must be so simple for you to put everybody else in two neat little boxes: 1) people who are in 100% agreement with me, 2) people who are against me.
Ok coomer.
What a retort, man!

Pretty good summary actually but I’m socially conservative. I’d say the progs are louder and the devs cow-tow to them more and more which in turn pisses of the reactionaries and conservatives.
Games(and movies) are entertainment first and foremost while the progs use them as a preaching and propaganda tool and I’ve read and watched enough Soviet agitprop for my life.
Anyway, was there a case when the reactionaries and conservatives won a culture war against the progressives? Maybe the Soviet Union dissolution was the only time when progs lost. We’re the losing side in the culture war which the modern left/progressives are winning.
You can add the Witcher and CDProjectRed to the list. Many diversity fanatics weren’t happy about the games being largely minority-free and Geralt being a Chad even if it was a faithful adaptation of one of the best fantasy books.
SJW still don’t like the Poles even after smashing success of the Witcher 3.
I noticed how the mainstream media(the Guardian, BBC) barely mentioned record pre-orders and sales of Cyberpunk 2077 but then happily posted articles daily about its huge problems. The woke never forget, never forgive.

Rincewind not knowing who Prosper is or that he still uses alts to this day. A question a real oldfag would ask for sure, too bad he can't read this.

Damn, even I know who Prosper is, and I can't view the retardo threads! Critical failure on that lore check.
Codex has been "imploding" for the last 15 years. It's like a supernova that just keeps on giving. It's better to shine bright.....

If /pol/ is still up then rpgcodex has nothing to fear.
The pozzing of every popular entertainment medium is not about sales, it's about activism. Hateful, anti-white, anti-western, anti-family, anti-civilization, insane clown world ideological activism. It is carried out with massive, viscous, organized hate-mob campaigns. It is a real problem and it's happening whether you are aware of it or if you have your head in the sand. The reason people discuss it is because it is happening relentlessly.
