There is a reason I skipped reading that thread before I posted in it.

All of Orlanth’s “help help I’m being repressed because society is learning to respect everyone” posts got deleted, as per usual.
Bloke seriously needs his bumps felt.

According to him, shouldn't we all be either dead or in a post-Revelations Mad Max hellscape by now?

Apparently so, and despite that being his five tissue fantasy, apparently it’s all everyone else’s fault to boot.

I think that thread, we need more people to find themselves as the "Diversity Candidate" I was once the only Non-POC male in an office full of POC Women for about 2 years. I was the "Diversity Candidate" and that changed my perspective on this topic a lot.
My instinct is if more people found the shoe on the other foot, their tune would change a lot. They have no idea what structured inequality even is, because most of them have never really experienced it. They have only benefited from it.

I’ve tried sharing my perspective on that on Dakka before, and the ones who weren’t outright hostile were replying like Inhad just spoken Martian. There takes a certain amount of self awareness and a willingness to reflect in order to take in another’s perspective, and even then it’s only partially effective. That thread, even moderated, is a great example of why Others find the hobby so unwelcoming.

I was the only white bloke in my team. That challenged my behaviour in a really positive way.

There are definitely some contributors who are trying very hard not to just say “minorities scare me”

“Diversity is the real racism.” That’s my takeaway from the thread.

Pretty much. But as with my profession, watching people very, very carefully try not to say something amuses me.

Diversity will drive out Warhammer’s core demographic.

Diversity will drive out Warhammer’s core demographic. Wow. One thing is for sure. It will drive out the right people.

Personally I’m enjoying annoying a certain poster by refusing the bait, and keeping it rational.

Always surprised that certain users always manage to pop back up after the latest train wreck thread gets locked, the red line of Dakka is so incredibly far out that the only person I have seen banned is NotHMBC here.
