I'd estimate that anti-SJW backlash is a minority of the hate against TLOU2, and certainly not the driving force behind the anti-fandom that spawned multiple memes, tens of thousands of review bombs, and a nearly minute-long animation made entirely from parody fanart. Most of it seems to be largely over dislike of the direction that Druckmann chose to take the story, and the belief that the game's central message falls flat. There's also the concern over Naughty Dog supposedly mistreating its employees, Sony making frivolous copyright claims to try and silence the leaks, and the perceived hypocrisy of Sony's censorship policies.

@Crimson Paladin

You must've not seen the actual Metacritic reviews. There are dozens of people complaining about ND's "wokeness" regarding same sex relationships and transgenderism on there. Personally, my ball's not in the anti-soy/SJW court, but I don't think Naughty Dog handled LBGT representation well in TLOU2. Actually was one of the reasons I voiced my dislike for the game that later had me blocked on Twitter by a 10/10 fanboy despite me falling into the LGBT crowd. Guess you're not allowed to have opinions (especially on topics concerning you) when everything is done "well", "extremely well", or exceptionally well" in the words of said blocker.

But yes, people are also angry on how TLOU2 played out. It has probably one of the worst stories I've had the pleasure of experiencing with quite the piss-poor writing compared to the first TLOU. The entire game is literally revenge fantasy porn with obvious attempts to guilt trip you and make you feel bad. The employee mistreatment, copyrights and so on is bullshit too.

Random thought but I just noticed how many characters have names that start with the letter K.

@Inkarnate Fix the high school issue I mentioned in DMs. Otherwise, accepted.
@silvermist1116 Accepted.
@Dio Accepted.
@Typical imagine being on a softball team second rate to the stockbridge dragons Accepted.
@Skelm Accepted.
@role model Couple issues with this sheet. 1) Resize Henry's FC; it's absolutely gigantic and could be smaller. 2) There is a rule against military characters, so you would have to remove his two years of military service. 3) The coding is botched in some places (such as missing indents) which needs to be fixed. 4) You have multiple colors listed for Henry. Choose one and stick with it by replacing the other color sections with the color code to keep things uniform. 5) Please put the sheet in a hider. 6) Not an issue, but I'm also interested in why he has a megaphone. Otherwise, accepted.

I'll review sheets and give my verdict later today.

Feeling ignored. Part 2.

That said, I had a conversation with a friend not too long ago about how Roleplaying has become somewhat discriminatory towards younger folks (those under age eighteen).

@Hyde

To be fair, this is really only a problem in 1x1, which is mainly due to how most 1x1 RPers on the guild either want to write smut with a legal adult or just generally feel more comfortable writing any 1x1 with someone their own age for whatever reason they have.

Bumping this.

Ask an Admin, v2.

Oh, just remembered something not related to the current question that I've been meaning to ask about for a long time.

The roleplay search could use a way to toggle Full/Apply/Jump In RPs in the same way as tags can be toggled to search by. I feel like a interest check version, too, would be useful as well.
