"... the abyss also gazes into you."
Congratulations, folks. With yet another thread created on the ongoing culture war, this time to create "our" version of the Problematic Tabletop tumblr, where we're supposed to mark down "evidence" of the Outrage Brigade being assholes, the transition of TheRPGSite into RPGNet2.0 is now proceeding. Hell, we've even got our own Tangency, in the form of this very sub forum!
I've said this to Pundit and Zak, and now I'll say it here:
Drop it. Let it go. Stop giving these fuckers oxygen.
They're awful, yes.
They're lying, yes.
They're all about control, wrapped up in the false cloak of "Social Justice", yes.
But y'know what else? THEY LOST.
Think about it -- their goal was to stir up enough outrage that there would be push-back on 5th Edition for hiring Zak and Pundit as consultants. Instead, they watched as what little credibility they possessed was pissed away -- they overreached, and in their overreaching, were completely demonstrated as the meaningless annoyance they are.
Look at the things they say now -- how they've moved the goal posts, how everything now is about butthurt because people are talking about the shit THEY did.
The good guys won. Walk away.
Because keeping this shit going -- in the name of "archiving" or "proof" or whatever your reasons may be? Smacks of triumphalism -- of staying on the battlefield so you can slaughter the wounded. You run the risk of people sympathizing with them, and maybe believing them the next time they try this kinda crap.
The next time they pull this shit, you can simply remind people of the outcome from THIS time, and people will go "Oh yeah, those assholes. Never mind."
They lost. Stop giving them attention -- which is the one thing they desperately crave.
Because right now? We're the only ones keeping this thing alive. And in the process, we're gazing into that abyss.
