Everybody missing the point of green text: it probably didn’t happen. It’s also 4chan. So yeah.
But, DM clearly set a timer on when apocalypse would happen if certain goals weren’t met. Players sought other goals and thus, lost the campaign.
28 daysDM is a mild bigot, but I respect the story continuity.
I feel mild bigot is still a bit overly critical… I mean, whatever hangup he may have had he still played out the story and planned around it… and that’s a lot of work. If he was truly a homophobe he coulda just not done any of that… but was a relative good sport about things.

No idea where you get that idea from tbh.
call it past experience and red flags. If you don’t see it, I’m glad you’ve lived such a sheltered judgmental-free life.
Slimiest fuckers under these green text comments. Always. Stop defending the DM no he didn’t um actually set a timer for this to happen the text clearly talks of how happy he was to stop the gay marriage. And as a DM when players do something blike this. You either don’t let them change the course of the campaign of you don’t wanna or you roll with it. This is bad dming

So basically the DM created a world with a natural disaster incoming, and the players decided to instead destroy the indigenous nation, install a new puppet leader that adheres to Western values and voting rights, and ensure gay marriage is legalized even though homosexuality was tolerated in this society, just marriage was a civil and financial issue and not necessarily related.
Who’s worse? The DM, or the imperialist players?
Literally doing the same shit the CIA would, and people wonder why this shit happens. It’s a bunch of fucks who think that their Western values translate to every culture and is more important than respecting their sovereignty.

indigenous nation
We don’t know the player’s characters aren’t indigenous.

“The population rising up against authority and for social progress is clearly colonialism from beyond the force wall”, is certainly one of the takes of all time.

you realize the main justification for colonialism was ‘we will bring our culture and values to these backwards societies’, right?
it’s only social progress to you.
And is it social progress to you for a society to allow gay people to have civil rights?
- TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.worldEnglish17 days
social progress is relative to the social goals.
for a western society? yeah, for non-western societies? no.
the problem is everyone assumes ‘society’ must believe in the western ideals of individualistic freedom. there is no reason it must or should.
plenty of people have ideals that are not about freedom, they are about control. for those folks, gay civil rights are anti-progress.
“Local leftist decides that gay people shouldn’t have human rights because gay human rights don’t comport with the social progress related to non-western societies” is my favorite example of horseshoe theory in action. Please never break containment.

Nah, according to lemmy politics I’m right wing nazi who wants to kill/convert all gay people. because I read the harry potter books 10 years ago. You got it wrong.
but please feel free to mischaracterize everything I said however it makes you feel most morally superior? you got that part right.
your inability to see the world from other perspectives than your own personal one is your problem, not mine. one of the core beliefs of identity politics is that this isn’t possible at all, which is why people who believe in it literally can’t comprehend anyone else who is different than them culturally or socially as anything other than evil. because their tribe is the only good people in all of the world.
