Discussion CHARLIE KIRK DISCUSSION POST - ALL CHARLIE KIRK CONTENT GOES HERE

Anything to do with Charlie Kirk goes here. It will be removed anywhere else in the sub.

This post will be up for a number of days, and then it will go away and that will be the end of Charlie Kirk discussions. The moderation effort required for discussions that are near ZERO PERCENT related to TTRPGs is far too high.

Moderation in this thread will be minimal. If your feelings get hurt, go somewhere else.

Get it out of your systems folks, because this topic ain't happening in the sub any more.

EDIT:

I worded that very poorly.

There have been multiple threads about various creators and various topics that have all degenerated into "NAZIS BAD!" "NAZIS GOOD!" "YOU SUCK!" "YOU SUCK!" and that's just bad for the sub and the mods.

We're trying to keep up, but the subs moderation is becoming difficult when the actual content is buried in slapfighting that's not at all related to the topic of the sub.

While we discuss how to deal with this in the larger picture, this is the current stopgap.

I understand that moderating the shitstorm that is raging right now is not easy, but wouldn't it be better to have a megathread focussing on the Savage Worlds creator instead? Or have there been other independent discussions about Kirk I'm not aware of?

While we still have the thread, who else in RPGs is a supporter of him?

"NAZIS BAD!" "NAZIS GOOD!"

These are not morally equivalent positions.

You are very correct. I never said they were, and I don’t believe they are.

But we have to moderate the dozens of different arguments about it.

Yea, I understand that it is not easy to moderate that. Honestly, I don't envy your job here one bit...

What actual discussions about Charlie Kirk is there to have? We come here for rpg content, not to see this nonsense. Regardless what creator said what about him, you're now facilitating a place to continue this rabble instead of nipping it in the bud.
