DM:"ok Gronk, your Southern belle secretary is being sexually harassed. what do you do"
Gronk: "well, Gronk is a very aggressive orc, so his response to have his belle punch the man"
DM: "okay, let's roll for etiquette for Gronk"
Gronk: *rolls a 1*
DM: "Gronk feels that this is totally a correct move and his belle slugs the man in the face. Roll damage"

The ACLU will defend bigotry as free speech and they're instrumental in protecting marginalized folks

People like Thiel and the Kushners are funding businesses like Paypal and Patreon, and many marginalized folks need those platforms to survive

Many people and personalities positioned and who desire to help you are problematic

This is part of what's normal now and if you can afford to ignore it, you have a heck of a lot of privilege

I am very much in favour of services like Patreon or similar crowdfunding since they free creators up from work-for-hire and allow them to work as their muse dictates rather than altering their work to their audience/market. That can have amazing results, and I'd love to see that sort of thing become even more prevalent.

Bad idea of the day:

A noir novel whose narrator speaks in a cant derived entirely or almost entirely from profanity (an english equivalent of the russian 'mat').
