The Culture: Conventional Play Is Why There Is A Creep/Pedo Problem In Tabletop

While the Mobsters are looting the hobby to satisfy their greed, they make way for the Death Cult to come in and rule the ruins.

Deep in this episode, after several other news stories about Mammon Mob or Death Cult insanity (see the totally-not-sane people working with Steve Jackson Games), we get the Supergeek Mike story.

One look, or one listen of his voice, should be sufficient to flip those red flags before seeing the Troon flag but here we are.

This is not a hobby that is suitable for sexually explicit fare, either in the making or in the partaking. These things never end well, and I am not surprised that this whole thing is due to Western Rotten Girls wanting to goon at the table.

That episode, the products produced that are all about it, and more create the very conditions that enable predatory behavior within the hobby of a particularly pernicious nature- we have "Sex Crimes" as a category of offense for a reason.

The reality is that the reason, in practice, that love and romance is depreciated in the hobby is because it attracts and enables creeps and predators. Conventional Play enables this cultivation of the environment wherein such predation happens because It Makes Line Go Up. Death Cultists take the opening thus created to engage in their depravity. It is no surprise that someone aligned with the latter is acting exactly as described; this is how Tourists act like locusts, making everything worse.

Diversity & Dragons may not want to be unkind. I am not so inclined.

There is no way that this man either isn't a #MeToo video hit in the making (ala Neil Gaiman), or an accessory to one (ala Amanda Palmer). That's the most consistent pattern that these things take, and there is every indication that the same applies here.

"But he's married!"

So is Nick Rekeita. Look how that turned out. He's not the only one. Not in the least.

There is no excuse for this degenerancy. It never ends well. Be it gaming infamy (look up FATAL at your own risk), criminal charges, or some other form of life-ruination this road always ends in tear, pain, despair, and ruin for all involed. It's only a matter of time before we find Mike with his own thread at KiwiFarms being A-Logged because of all of this turning out exactly as I have said. To say that "This is what Slaanesh worship is like" is an understatement worthy of a true-blooded Scandinavian.

You want to know why there's all this BDSM crap in the hobby, like X-Cards? You're looking at it when you look at Mike.

Purge this filth wherever you find it. It is a social, cultural, moral, spiritual, and political liability- only Mobsters and Cultists want it, and they want it because it destroys you and the hobby.
