Last Saturday, the Pundit cut this video.
Arduin is one of the first expressions of the Calvinball Doctrine that uderlies the Cargo Cult: "The game is broken and doesn't work. Buy this widget to fix it."
Consumerism came into the hobby early, driven by the folks who didn't know how the game worked and never bothered to question their own priors or discover how the game does work- they PRESUMED it was broken so of course they had to fix it.
The entire picture of how Muh 40 Years got it so wrong all this time has become clear, and I can't help but to hate them more for it.
Yeah the presumption the game is broken and it's up to the GM (or 3P content) to fix it is a major driver of the cargo cult. So many people have NEVER run Rules as Written. How can you assess the game when you've never played it!?
