  • I agree with you, mostly.

    My problem is that a lot of people want us to be so much more progressive and socialist that anything less than a full running leap to the left is being equated to disaster. And here’s the thing, I used to be that way. I wanted Sanders so bad that I didn’t vote for Hillary.

    I’ll regret that decision for the rest of my life. Friends of mine died during the pandemic because of that decision. So now, no matter how bleak, I will always vote for even the smallest step towards the side of decency.

    I am realistic about it and i agree with Juan Gonzalez on the whole. I don’t agree with his focus and his tone. His focus is on how it’s not enough and his tone is doom and gloom. That’s just exhausting.






  • Embrace the flavor. And by flavor, I mean change the theme of your character without changing the mechanics.

    Is that a dagger or an incredibly sharp sushi knife? Is that a longsword or a butcher’s cleaver?

    I personally have made this character as an artificer but you could do it as a rogue. A highly skilled chef who knows exactly how to cut (sneak attack). As an adventurer, you seek out new flavors and styles of cooking and aren’t affraid to try some dragon steaks, with harpy eggs, with a side of black ooze gelato.

    Also there is a single feat that really helps push it.











  • I never mentioned White Privilege, but i understand how you feel. However, it’s all semantics cause when the people with “Majoity Privilege” are classified as white and the minorities are classified as “not white”… that’s just “White Privilege” with extra steps.

    And I agree that our focus should be on the elites who are lobbying and buying officals and senators to keep us downtrodden and confused and fighting amongst ourselves. However, I would argue that fighting for minorities and those persecuted for just being alive and true to themselves IS the same as fughting against those same “Elon Musks of the world.”

    And yes, race is bullshit but the only way to not participate is to not have a race.

    And I get that you may be angry with everything and everyone, but do you really want us to stop fighting for your rights?


  • We’re supposed to see race. Not seeing race is ignoring the systematic problems that exist in our society that prevent minorities from enjoying the same privilege as whites. Not seeing race is just like saying “All Lives Matter” and missing the point of why the BLM movement is so important.

    Trying to say that “seeing race” makes someone a bigot is misguided. It’s generalizing based on race makes someone a bigot.

    The same goes for sexuality and gender identity.

    The problem that I have noticed is that “seeing” these things requires sympathy and understanding. These can be tough and very tiring for a lot of people. But what those people need to remember is that it is a constant struggle for minorities and that we who do have privilege must be there to fight when they can’t.
