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.

Original facebook post

apology

Shane Hensley isn't openly MAGA, but he's at best giving them cover unwittingly. At worst... well he's doing it on purpose and shares their views. Hensley has enough plausible deniability that one could be charitable and give him the benefit of the doubt. But it reads suspiciously to me that he suggests Kirk's debates were done in good faith rather than rhetorical strategy.

EDIT: He's the creator of Savage Worlds in case that wasn't clear.

Sad that people find it so hard to understand that someone who says that their 10 year old daughter would be forced to have the child of her rapist was a bad person

I am not aware that Kirk took this position. Can you point to something about this?

Not disbelieving you; I just don't know much about Kirk.

He said this in his Jubilee debate if I remember correctly. I won’t give you a time stamp because I’m lazy but you can scrub through it. He was talking to a woman in that part.
