All I can say to these people is that I love my white male privilege. Like everything else in life, it is a tool. Their opinion is useless to me.
One Latin guy says something about Whites and suddenly it’s all about Blacks?
How about a game where non-Whites whine and moan about White Privilege while enjoying a free ride, compliments of Whitey?
I am so happy we have these enlightened professors around,, geez, without them I would never had known how much of of a privileged racist homophobic, (fill in blanks) jerk I was,,,, THX GUYS!!!!
Leftist scum crave the destruction of any vestige of Western culture and masculinity. They is a highly organized and well funded campaign to dominate the gaming industry with leftist propaganda.
These are caled the “Drow’. Good character class.
When you are a collectivist who is obsessed with race and a postmodernist who is obsessed with oppression, then everything is racist and oppressive
As one who played “D and D” in it’s fledgling years, here is my retort:
All the races, ages, creeds, body shapes, heights and everything ever devised exist in that mythical board game.
I believe that “the professor”, (I say that loosely), has never taken a turn of play in the game.
he is just one more academic ivory tower pinhead who estimates his own greatness in his golden mirror.
Methinks this prof needs to roll for Charisma.....He’ll get my 20-sided die from my cold undead hands!
you mean the drow?
All I know about D&D is that you like it a lot.
Now that I’ve seen the headline, I understand why. (LOL!)
Well I never played D&D even once, but the nerds I knew who liked it never seemed to epitomize too much privilege. They were more disaffected and alienated. I suppose the professor could say how privileged they are just to spend time playing a fantasy game, but the professor strikes me as an idiot desperate for an article topic.
Midnight basketball?
remember the program set up during the Clinton years that paid for midnight basketball that was supposed to divert inner city youth from more violent pursuits.
I am so pleased to see my own child hang out with “nerds.” When I was a boy we delighted in D&D and I was chosen by my peers as the DM or Dungeon Master. I made up all sorts of fantastic tales and sequences and was proud to entertain my friends. Good clean fun, and for nary a GP.
And don’t get me started on Monopoly and Spades...
This. Theyre just as fanatical, intolerant and humorless in the attempt to shove their religion down everybody elses throats as the original Puritans were.
And oh look here, its New England at the forefront again. If only the Mayflower had sunk crossing the Atlantic and they had thus never spawned, the country would have been a much better place.
They would be the “drow elves”.
