Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations
yeah that’s super important.
This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.
Be kind. 💜
“friend of Dorothy” was used to say you were gay discreetly for fucking years. Where did it come from?
“You have some queer friends, Dorothy”, and she replies, “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends.”
Like, it was popular enough for it to be a thing in ww2.
And when you reblog peoples posts where they’re self identifying as queer and tag it with cw: q slur, you’re telling us that you see our identities themselves as foul and triggering and you are aligning yourself with the above groups.
i remember in the 80s seeing people chanting “we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it”. didn’t really think i was one at the time, but they seemed to have a good point and i got used to it. ended up marrying one.
“Hm, I’ve already established that this nation in my story has a lot of sunflowers as a background detail, I should take five minutes real quick to see what those can be used for.”
🎶You can eat the stalks! You can eat the leaves! You can eat the petals! You can eat the seeds! You can eat the tubers! Turn ‘em into booze! Go and plant some sunflowers! If you don’t you lose! 🎶
They’re also one of the few plants which can reclaim fallout.
They also scrub radiation and heavy metals from their environment, yeah.
Target audience reached.
The highest calorie plant crop you can grow per soil unit is sunflowers iirc - from the oil
Since food from plants is an unending battle of trying to get calories out of dirt, this is a fascinating fact!
(Edit: I don’t think I’m recalling this in a useful way so let me go dig up the source (ha) before counting on this fact)
I don’t know about the radiation but I have a slight clarification on the heavy metals thing - sunflowers concentrate heavy metals in their tissues. So to use them for clean up, you have to harvest them (including roots, where a lot of the metals are most concentrated) and then dispose of the sunflowers in a safe location away from the contaminated area. Sunflowers don’t just get rid of heavy metals on their own
This is in contrast to things like using mushrooms to clean up soil that is contaminated with oil - oil is made up of carbon so it can actually be broken down and changed into molecules that are less harmful. No mushroom removal needed. But metals are metals, there’s nothing about them that can be broken down into something else
That’s a really good point and I don’t want it to distract me from fact-checking my fact (I’m pretty sure I’m wrong and it’s something like “sunflower is the most fat you can get from plant crops in a permaculture setup (as opposed to controlling industrial levels of farmland)” but I’m super distracted right now) but it bothers me so much when the assumption of remediation is that the plants just delete stuff from existence. They don’t!

I think an important part of the “D&D is easy to learn” argument is that a lot of those people don’t actually know how to play D&D. They know they need to roll a d20 and add some numbers and sometimes they need to roll another type of die for damage. A part of it is the culture of basically fucking around and letting the GM sort it out. Players don’t actually feel the need to learn the rules.
Now I don’t think the above actually counts as knowing the rules. D&D is a relatively crunchy game that actually rewards system mastery and actually learning how to play D&D well, as in to make mechanically informed tactical decisions and utilizing the mechanics to your advantage, is actually a skill that needs to be learned and cultivated. None of that is to say that you need to be a perfectly tuned CharOp machine to know how to play D&D. But to actually start to make the sorts of decisions D&D as a game rewards you kind of need to know the rules.
And like, a lot of people don’t seem to know the rules. They know how to play D&D in the most abstract sense of knowing that they need to say things and sometimes the person scowling at them from behind the screen will ask them to roll a die. But that’s hardly engaging with the mechanics of the game, like the actual game part.
And to paraphrase @prokopetz this also contributes to the impression that other games are hard to learn: because a lot of other games don’t have the same culture of play of D&D so like instead of letting new players coast by with a shallow understanding of the rules and letting the GM do all the work, they ask players to start making mechanically informed decisions right away. Sure, it can suck for onboarding, but learning from your mistakes can often be a great way to learn.
I think this also hurts group dynamics as well.
When you have people that have actually done some reading on the rules vs. people that just coast and foist the majority of the game onto the GM, it makes it appear like the more knowledgeable players are sweaty power-gamers or rules-laywers.
Best example I’ve got with asking players to make informed decisions was when I ran the Wilderfeast Quick Start. The GM has the info about what ingredients can be gathered in any of the regions, but the party then has to cook it. They know what the ingredient does and just have to make the decision on how they want to combine their ingredients as a party.
My point is not to say that people who don’t want to learn the rules shouldn’t play, only that people who don’t actually know the rules aren’t necessarily engaging with the game to its fullest, especially in the case of a relatively rules-heavy game like D&D, and that as the previous poster mentioned it can actually result in a bad rules dynamic where the DM needs to do more work due to player unwillingness to learn the rules as well as casting players who actually know the rules and can engage with them in unfavorable light. All of these are negative elements of the culture of play surrounding.
Like, there isn’t anything meaningfully gatekeepy about saying “players who don’t know the rules of the game aren’t as good at playing the game as the people who know the rules of the game.” Because playing games is a skill that can be cultivated and knowledge of the rules is an important part of that skill.
And respectfully, if the idea of learning the rules of D&D seems like an insurmountable task, you don’t have to learn them, but you might actually gain something out of actually making an effort because it can make engaging with the game more rewarding for you. Or if the idea of learning the rules of a game that has hundreds of pages is an insurmountable obstacle, there are lots of games with much more modest page counts! D&D is actually relatively heavy as far as RPGs go but it’s not the only RPG, and you can get rewarding mechanical engagement combined with cool stories for a much smaller time investment.
Pointing out that, if you’re playing a game with a several-hundred-page rulebook and haven’t even made the effort to read the parts of it relevant to your character, then you’re pushing a lot of cognitive load onto your friends, isn’t gatekeeping. Nobody’s kicking you out of your group for it.
i also think that the OP is kind of more about the people who bite back against people going “hey, maybe try something other than D&D” with “but those games are too crunchy/hard to learn” when they don’t even really know the actual rules of D&D. i mean, i’ve had people like this push back against learning PbtA games.
i really hope this was just an unusual case, but i’ve even had that exist response from one of the local DMs where i live, when i invited him to be a player in a game of Masks i was starting up.
Oh yeah, that was definitely the original context. And it’s really funny to hear “learning another game is hard” as a reason for not engaging in game beyond D&D when clearly people are not learning D&D either if they consider the act of reading the rules beyond the pale.
The folks this post is about are the reason you get dudes on Reddit posting about prepping to DM games for 60+ hours a week and still feeling inadequate.
At this point, it’s a fun game for *almost* everyone at the table. And nobody wants to take on the role that has you showing up to game night with a wagon full of paper, an external hard drive, and a heart condition due to anxiety.
Be kind to your GM. Learn bits of the rules and help out :)
Quite so. If you just want to fool around and occasionally roll some shiny math rocks, that’s a perfectly cromulent aspiration, and there are plenty of games that will give you exactly that – but if you just want to fool around and occasionally roll some shiny math rocks while simultaneously insisting upon using a rules-heavy system whose rules you refuse to learn, what you’re doing in practice is making the GM do all the work of playing your character for you. It isn’t gatekeeping to point this out; it’s simply a fact. To be sure, there are a few GMs who are receptive to that sort of thing – it’s often termed “black box” play in the hobby’s jargon, likening the rules to a box the players can’t see inside – but most GMs merely tolerate having all the work of making your character happen dumped on them for the sake of avoiding drama. It can be worthwhile to think carefully about whether this is something you’re really okay with doing to someone you call a friend.
Like, there’s this stereotype of the “play literally any other game” crowd as a bunch of arty snobs who want to force everybody to play semi-freeform Jungian psychodramas about giant telepathic bugs or what-have-you, but in my experience, the greater part of them are folks who’ve been GMing Dungeons & Dragons for years, and spent that time single-handedly doing all the work of making the game happen, and all they really want is for their group to pick a game whose baked-in expectations regarding mechanical engagement are compatible with the level of engagement they’re actually willing to put forth!
This is all assuming the GM insists on following all the rules to their fullest extent and won’t have any fun improvising or running a casual game. You are all going “if the players’ play style and the GM’s play style are at odds it will not be fun for either,” which is true, but from that you are coming to the conclusion “therefore if you have a casual play style you are a bad player and being shitty to your GM” and, like…if the GM also has a casual play style it is not an issue for a player to have a casual play style!!!!! If you are a player with a casual play style you can find a GM with a casual play style! I am a GM with a casual play style & it’s baffling that this post insists we don’t exist and insists GMs all secretly resent the players that don’t care about the minutiae of the rules. I also don’t care about the minutiae of the rules, I don’t structure my games so that they’ll collapse if no one adheres to the minutiae of the rules. No, players, your GM does not necessarily secretly resent you if you don’t know all the rules. If you ARE a GM and you secretly resent your players, you need to be a goddamn adult about it and TELL THEM your play styles are incompatible instead of being all boo-hoo woe-is-me about your players “not caring” about you. “It’s not fun for people who care about rules to play with people who don’t care about rules” and it’s also not fun for people who don’t care about rules to play with people who care about rules…no one is having fun incorrectly, y'all, you just need to find people you can have fun with.
Like, if this post is about “people that can’t even do the basic character creation,” fine, but “I just wanna go on a fun romp with my friends and roleplay and I don’t care about minmaxing or doing The Most and gaining the The Most XP to level up” is a fine way to be a player. Some people I know don’t even play with XP or levels. You can bend D&D to your will. You can take the bones of D&D and make it a different game. You’re allowed to do that! You can play a non-rules-centric game and have a ton of fun. Even if it isn’t “"technically D&D.”“ You don’t NEED to learn another game, even if it IS be more suited to your play style, if you’re already having fun and have found people that have fun playing D&D the same way you have fun playing D&D!
In discussions of D&D as a game I find it most meaningful to talk about D&D the game as it exists in the rules. I know that more casual playstyles where a large swathe of the rules are ignored exist, but for the sake of discussing D&D as it exists in the rulebooks and for the sake of players developing system mastery in the game of D&D I don’t find it relevant. It’s a valid playstyle and obviously won’t cause friction, but your assumption that I think this playstyle is bad because I don’t explicitly discuss it is implied nowhere in the post, it is simply an inference you chose to make.
So of course if your table is more casual and ignores most of the rules, then this doesn’t apply to your table, because no one is giving you the GM too much rules-knowing burden. But at the same time in tables which ignore most of the rules neither players nor GM are necessarily developing system mastery in a way that translates to other tables.
And yeah this isn’t "about” any specific type of player who doesn’t know the rules, but the notes on this post are full of examples including players not knowing how their characters’ abilities or spells work, which no matter how you slice it is offloading a burden to other players. Not knowing the rules is obviously a gradient and not a binary, but at tables that run the game assuming the rulebooks as a baseline I think knowing at least the rules relevant to your character, as well as the general player-facing rules, should be a minimum.
A couple of additional points:
Conflating “players who refuse to engage with the mechanics” with “casual players” isn’t appropriate. Plenty of players in the former cohort do want to play Dungeons & Dragons with all the bells and whistles in – they just want someone else to do the actual work of understanding them and carrying them out. Basically, they’re approaching tabletop roleplaying like a video game, and treating the GM as the computer. This isn’t a weird edge case; it’s a common problem, and the notes of this post are full of GMs sharing horror stories about it. “I feel like my players are treating me like a game console” is one of the most frequently cited complaints when discussing GM burnout.
Responding to that by going “well, if that does ever happen it’s 100% the GM’s fault for not clearly communicating with their players” is perverse; the GM being expected to do all the work of making the game happen is, itself, the problem.
Also extremely weird how this person conflates “knowing the rules” with “being a minmaxing powergamer who cares primarily about optimization and levelling up” like that’s a pretty big logical leap.
That’s actually a sadly common logical leap! In many D&D spaces players demonstrating knowledge of the rules or expressing system mastery is quickly conflated with being a horrible powergaming munchkin who is then to be punished by the GM. This is such an unhealthy player/GM relationship that one of the best known comedy RPGs, Paranoia, released thirty forty years ago in literally 1984 lampoons this setup.
Anyway I think it’s a really silly conflation to make and a toxic attitude that is unfortunately very common in the culture surrounding D&D! Sad!
starts punching and tearing at everything in a blind rage. i want AROMANTIC characters i want characters with not an OUNCE of romance about them i don’t JUST want aroace characters i want AROMANTIC characters that AREN’T ASEXUAL i want people to headcanon characters as AROMANTIC not just aroace i want fandom to treat AROMANTICISM as AROMANTICISM, and not a SUBCATEGORY OF ASEXUALITY. RRRAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH
hello, tumblr user. before you is an aromantic character. they have never expressed any hint of asexuality. your task is simple: do not refer to them as an “aroace” or get mad at people writing smut about them. the duration of this task is the rest of your life. if you fail at any point in the future, i will personally shoot you.
lots of stories about being possessed by demons and forced to do evil things against your will, not many about being possessed by angels and forced to do good things against your will
I think you could actually write an incredible horror story about this actually
if you get possessed by a demon and start doing evil things, everyone’s immediately like “oh no this isn’t like you, this is so sinister, we must put a stop to this and restore your free will” but if you get possessed by an angel* who’s going to stop you? who’s going to want to stop you? your friends are either going to approve or they’re going to start resenting you and cutting ties…
and I specifically don’t mean this happening to an originally evil or villainous character, just like, a normal person with an average degree of benevolence and selfishness, succumbing to a gradually escalating series of good deeds that offer no pleasure or relief that they never would have chosen
I really hate to do this to you, but I really do think this could be. a kink thing….
I have neutral news about literally anything
The thing is, an angel never would force a person to do things against their will, even if they found themselves possessing a person for some reason. Forcing unwanted actions upon a person (breach of consent) is an evil act, in and of itself. An angel would likely attempt to persuade the person they’re possessing to do good, but they wouldn’t force them.
See now but that’s stupid. Humans recognize “good”/not evil violations of consent all the time. We snatch poison out of the mouths of children, pull people away from ledges, and overpower violent attackers all the time and consider that to be “good”. We apply coercion on a societal level all the time and, usually, ascribe “goodness” to it when it seems to serve a greater good (ex. taxes, food safety regulations). So either breaching consent is always inherently evil and the concept of a greater good is invalid (in which case taxing the rich or taking poison from a child are wicked acts) or breaching consent is a lesser evil than allowing greater harm to happen (such as the child dying) or enabling more important good (ex the maintenance of roads).
If we define an angel as cosmic force for the nebulous concept of “good”, then it’s either wholly incapable of any degree or moment of wickedness, however small, and therefore completely useless, or it’s able to assess a relative value to good and evil acts and may do so on a system not immediately apparent or relatable to humans.
I want to see how many people have easy access to nature, as I assume most of tumblr lives in urban areas such as cities or large suburbs, and a lot of people seem to not know much about the native species of plants and animals in their area. If you answered several, please reblog with which ones! And if the natural area is not mentioned, add it in a reblog or comment :)

Smash that mf reblog button if you stoically ignore all labelled washing instructions and everything your mama ever told you about laundry and just send those bastards hurgling around in an overfilled tub to meet either death or glory
Something I learned from a costume designer: if an item can be washed multiple ways the designer is only legally obligated to put one of the ways on the tag, but if there’s only one way to wash that item they have to put Only on the instructions
If the tag says “Dry Clean” it’s safe to machine wash but the designer thinks it looks better if you get it dry cleaned
But if it says “Dry Clean Only” you will destroy it if you wash it any other way

As much as I’d like to be idealistic in the upcoming election and vote for the greens, none of us can really survive another Tory government. Don’t believe for a moment that your vote wouldn’t matter, or that Labour would be just as bad. Under a Tory government, the country has gone to shit, despite (according to the site below) more votes being cast overall for opposition parties.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote, and please consider doing so tactically - stopthetories hopes to provide data for each electorate on who best to vote for to make sure these heartless slimes lose their hold on parliament.
At the Cincinnati stop of her “world tour”, Taylor Swift ends her set. As she walks off the stage, she leans into a nearby mic and says “oh by the way, I’m lesbian”.
She’s still milking a public relationship with a man named Chett Whitesman, so this is met with a combination of cheers and confusion. Immediately, the media mobilizes. They have to intercept her before she gets onto her private jet, and ambush her for an interview. Luckily, this has become much easier these days. Since the release of her 2027 album, “The Carbon Emissions of my Heart”, T Swizzle has performed a ritual sacrifice of an endangered species on live camera every time she boards her jet, a #girlboss way of saying that her emotional pain can only be healed by the tortured screams of drowning polar bears.
(Since this practice started, a devoted faction of Swifties have started a carbon negative algae farming commune, with the express intent of negating taytay sweezie’s contributions to climate change. Apparently “her tortured soul deserves to pollute without guilt”. They haven’t even come close to their goals.)
Taytor Twift is intercepted after this ritual, as she’s walking up the steps of her plane. When asked what the lesbian statement was about, she nonchalantly says “oh, I thought it was clear that was a joke. Anyways, G T G!” , before biting into the still beating heart of an emperor penguin.
During her flight, discourse on the newly renamed twitter-X-ElonIsExtremelyVirile Corp goes nuclear like it never has been before.
There’s a camp of swifties thoroughly convinced that her relationship with Chett is all a beard so that she can still keep touring in the New Christian Republic of Florida, and the interview at the plane was deepfaked.
A different camp of Swifties feels insulted and betrayed that she would be anything less than a paragon of allyship. To them, this is the worst slight the queer community has ever experienced.
A third camp of Swifties insists that she *is* dating Chett, and is also a lesbian. They get insulted that anyone would police Taylor’s labels. Comparisons to the Boulder, Colorado shooter are made.
A group of non Swifties tries to point out that everyone is fucking insane and that ‘ole taytay regularly tear gases pride rallies to make way for her promenade to stadium venues, and who the fuck cares about this shit and point out that what a billionaire celebrity does for five minutes of PR is not worth your attention or discourse, nor does it warrant harassing other people for the labels *they* use, and isn’t it really fucked up that Taylor is making a joke of how people describe their identities? They are promptly doxxed, harassed, and banned.
Bi lesbian discourse is off the charts. Nothing Taylor said has anything to do with it, but it happens anyways.
A lone transsexual who actually goes outside once in a while tweets “hey guys isn’t it kinda fucked up that 2.4 billion people have been displaced by mega storms this year that her jet contributes to and is also specifically designed to fly over” and is promptly doxxed and harassed off the platform.
After an exhausting 9 minute plane ride, Tailing Swiffer lands in Columbus for the next performance of her world tour. She unveils a new single that contains the line “ride my horse after dumping him, stepping up onto my SAD dle”.
All is forgotten. All is quiet. The Swifties continue as usual, moving on to the next discourse about these lyrics.
