The Pundit's latest video about how the Death Cultists at Wankers By The Beach decided to Double Down since they got caught lying and projecting.
The point I want to focus your attention upon is that they are going to retroactively apply this to all products going forward.
That means throwing stuff they don't like down the Memory Hole.
This isn't the Boomer-tier tossing down the Memory Hole that I've talked about all week. That's thoughtless narcissism. The Death Cult is doing this willfully, willingly, and deliberate malice aforethought.
Read the Comments in Pundit's video. The intended pozzing of "mainstream" D&D via Critical Role is having the intended effect, and the Death Cultists in social media--being fellow travelers with those By The Beach--are happy to do what can be done to hinder or stop the counter-narrative from spreading.
Why?
The Cult Sees NO DIFFERENCE Between Storytelling And Propaganda
If D&D is about storytelling, then it's about propaganda and the Cult--the Party--must control that medium to use it to spread Cult dogma and maintain control over the narrative.
If D&D is a social activity where social status and public face can be gained or lost--and Wankers wants is that way, Cult pozzing or not--then it can be used to execute Struggle Sessions against dissidents and break their will to resist the Cult, especially if those targetted are already vulnerable due to isolation and a weakened sense of self (and you see that everywhere in Pozzed D&D circles).
Wargames Are Not Like This AT ALL
The very change that the #BROSR brings to D&D by restoring what the Boomers failed to pass on to the younger cohorts that followed them breaks this entire paradigm by shattering its load-bearing root assumption that D&D is not a competitive game with winners and losers.
This is why we're already seeing the warning signals from pozzed channels like Questing Beast about what the #BROSR recovered from the Memory Hole. Someone's smart enough to see what the ramifications are, and the hive mind's intelligence is being told that a threat is emerging.
No, this development has nothing to do with that; far too soon for one to prompt the other.
However, as I foresee the Cult will react by doing an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish play to counter the #BROSR I say that we can expect them to attempt to reframe what was recovered into a fake form that they can easily control and later shut off if they succeed- and Questing Beast (and those other soyboys) attempt to claim credit for recovery by stealing it from Jeffro is the tell.
If they succeed, this announced policy of actively rewriting history and throwing stuff down the Memory-Hole will apply to ALL things RPG sooner or later. It needs to be made impossible to accomplish.
