The guy basically admits diversity ploys are unwinnable and compares them to the Kobayashi Maru test.

The only thing I don't really like is he thinks you should actually use different methods for abstracting stats based on gender. Seems totally pointless.

Overall it's refreshing to see someone basically say "yeah no matter what you do people will get buttmad" but he really didn't need so many words to say it.

Alright, finished reading it.
Funny how someone promoting diversity apparently doesn't consider race to be an arbirary construct.

>The English and the French may have a strong historical antipathy for each other but they look the same and culturally have much they can point to in common.
I hate you. I hate you with all my guts.

Kudos to him for recognizing legitimate racism due to objective morality system in D&D. That said...
>coming from a different country gives the same penalty as evil Alignment or racial hatred.
That's some late 19th century nationalistic bullshit, unless we're playing in not!Balkans.
The sci-fi ones are great, though.

>gender differences
Meh, I've seen worse. He seems to have put some thought on the balance, I'll give him that.
Still, it's funny for him to give us those tables and yet ask not to use them (which I agree with, since PCs shouldn't be slowed down by statistics imo)

The parts on sexuality, infirmity and diversity were quite good.
Overall, a nice read. It gives some decent pointers for portraying fantasy or sci-fi societies.

Thanks for sharing, anon.

Anarcho-communism and anarcho-syndicalism are in fact political movements. Very fringe, but they exist.
>>
>>47460657
But that seems like such an oxymoron. You want to destroy the government and then allow it to control major industries?
>>
>>47460702
I'm almost sure most of the times anarchists also want to destroy major industries.
Anarcho-socialism and its brothers want local governements with direct democracy, a bit like soviets in the early years of the USSR.
>>
>>47460702
I believe the anarcho-socialist goal is for major industries to be owned and controlled by the workers directly, through consensus and direct democracy.
>>
>>47460702
Marxism and anarchism emerged roughly the same time. Marxism asserted that the government needed to take control of all business, then make everyone equal and then eliminate the state, so that people could work together to do everything.

Anarchism, by contrast, thought people could handle shit cooperatively without the state.

"Socialism" used here just means that the people who work land also own that land, and that the community owns factories and so on together.

That anarchism actually predates so-called "anarcho-capitalism" by quite a while.

-4 str (actually, 1d8+1d6 str) made sense in its original context, back in OD&D where str penalties and bonuses don't actually affect to-hit chances or damage chances.

INSTEAD, it affected what weapons you could use, and weapons accounted for the majority of your combat chances. Women could use daggers better than men (+1 to hit on a 2d6 scale not bad, like the equivalent of +2 to +3) and could use swords, maces, and lances just fine, they had trouble with the big heavy duty weapons unless they were unusually strong.

True, but speaking "relatively," humans are what everything in the books are judged by.

>>47460874
I was saying "ideally" in terms of people who use gender-based stats. Men factually feel emotions to a higher degree but are less expressive than women. It's why you always see women being the ones who work at check-out lines, or as greeters, or any job where the position entails greeting and talking with customers/people on a daily basis.

The Tentacle Bento minis are actually pretty nice though as far as pseudo anime stuff goes.
>>
>>47460835

Nah, that's the wrong way to go about it. Just have the physical representation of the character, as suggested by the stats, be different based on understanding of the differences between the sexes. IE, a man with 13 strength would appear moderately fit, a woman with 13 strength would be ripped.

And as far as charisma goes, it would probably be more appropriate to give a bonus to charisma rolls for women when dealing with reproductive age men, and only then to women who are explicitly attractive. Maybe as a feat?

Race isn't an arbitrary construct though. It's extremely relevant to multiple fields, most importantly (even, especially on the individual level) medicine.

the problem isn't that they distrust their neighbouring nations (even if it's a bit silly in a medieval-inspired setting, where people regularly came under control of one king or another due to conquests and successions; the current nation is a pretty modern notion)

that's the thing about the new scientific racism, the proponents all claim it's about genetics and specific markers, but at the same time they completely ignore them in order to lump people together for the same old prejudices
genetically speaking west and east Africans are as different from each other as they are from whites and Asians and share completely different medical problems, but that's irrelevant and at the end of the day all niggers are the same as far as they're concerned
>>
>>47462510
Well natives take to rabies vaccines a LOT better and one tribe has an immune response that actively suprreses it into non-functionality. In a similar vein of constant exposure to things: caucasians across the board deal with alcohol MUCH better than any other race. asians and natives can even have a serious allergic reaction to alcohol, even alcohol in sterilization solutions. Neither had anywhere near as much exposure as caucasians and therefore don't have the genetic coding to make effective protective measures against it in both cases.
Sidenote: africans and natives are entirely lactose intolerant, again lack of exposure, where as caucasians are all almost universally lactose tolerant due to lack of presence of a gene that allows the bacteria that breaks down lactose to survive. If you're black or native and reading this and you can drink milk you have a white ancestor somewhere in your family tree.
Beyond that caucasians have less durable eyes hence the lighter tones as they evolved to less harsh sunlight and less exposure over all which is why they currently lead in debilitating eye diseases and prescription lenses whereas natives and africans were constantly exposed and are leaders by far in healthy eyes due to darker pigment, several gene's that effect the cones, and two gene's that hinder macular degeneration. Each gene is unique to either race as are those that effect the cones.

Tl;Dr there are crazy and noticeable differences between the races.
Its almost like saying darwin's finches are all one big all inclusive species with very little differences where in reality they have vast and easily noticeable physical and genetic differences and just because they can all breed with each other doesn't change that.

You're just proving why the whole "but races are real because of genetic markers!" thing is complete bullshit. If you meet someone on the street or have a casual acquaintance with them, you don't know their genetics. All you're doing is making a guess based on their skin colour, a guess that (as you so clearly illustrated) can be wrong more often than right

It doesn't matter how you "feel" we're going by hardcore scientific facts here. Women are factually less capable to make calm, collected, and disconnected decisions then men. Their brains literally have a shit fit when asked the whole "save your mother or your child" scenario and explain why. Men have a moment of high activity then normal activity and can justify their decision within seconds, women took upwards of ten minutes. Theories abound but we sure its linked to the whole boxes vs. string way of thinking between the genders letting men make wholly disconnected decisions while stowing away morality and emotions whereas for women and their string way of think means that everything is connected and they have serious issue compartmentalizing the conflict and the emotions and attempting to do so actually makes their brain misfire in random area's compounding the issue.
This is also theorized to be the reason 100% of women get shellshocked on the field at some point in time during duty while men are currently at 30%.

If you don't know which doctors are shills or social conformers rather than unbiased parties you're gonna have to do some research, which is sad as the latter gets less research as its not publicly friendly and that just hampers scientific progress as a whole.

I see it as less something that requires number crunching and more something that can be seen in everyday life. Why aren't women signing up for the military as much as their male counterparts even though the Pentagon has moved to open all combat positions to them? I am sure that you can gain insight on that easily. Saying that Women are just as able to handle war as men on average is plain wrong.

Well, to be fair, Wisdom in D&D doesn't usually help characters make better decisions. Most often it's things like senses. Women have better color differentiation, so linking that up to a small wisdom bonus works to help balance things out.

Is this satire?
>>
>>47464555
Women have worse hearing and situational awareness along with dimensional thinking. That sounds like it would hinder DnD wis. their color differentiation only goes for reds as well but hinders greys though they do tend to see hues a few frequencies lighter but men equally see the same colors a few lower and is almost entirely unnoticeable. The only impactful difference would be tetrachromacy in women, an insanely rare genetic condition that we aren't entirely sure is a thing yet as it may just mean they have s fourth cone set but the actual retinal neurons won't be able to actively differentiate and translate a fourth color channel before handshaking with the brain.

The vast majority of that document feels like it's written for the would-be SJWs of the world that don't know how to formulate an opinion, so he's written a neat little pamplet to tell the what to think. Not that much of what he says is wrong (except for a handful of points I generally agree with everything he says). Though I guess if anyone was going to write such a booklet I'm glad it was at least someone pretty level-headed.

However, the one thing he does that I have to disagree with is penalizing the Charisma of men, because women have a "higher social intelligence," so he wants men to roll 1d6+1d10 while women roll 3d6 for Charisma. Shit sort of speaks for it's self there. According to him that superior social intelligence, combined with a greater level of perception through greater night-vision, hearing, and color depth (on average, which is true) should also award women a +1 bonus to their Wisdom Score. I'll be the first to support the notion that men and women have functionally comparable cognitive faculties, but is that very notion that forces me to strongly disagree with the idea of altering the Intellect and Wisdom stats at all, in favor of either gender. Women do have a deeper range of color perception, and better hearing and smell, on average, so you could just give them a +1 to perception rolls, not boost two attributes based on their ability to differentiate the scents of different flowers. He also gives women a +1 to Constitution because, according to him, they don't need as much food/general sustenance (fairly true), but then he gives'm the whole "handles pain better," angle that I see thrown around all the time. I've never seen a speck of evidence beyond "pregnancy is really painful." Which, for those who don't know, when women go into labor their brain releases a metric fuck-tonne of chemicals to dampen multitudes of nerve clusters and regulate various bodily functions.

Written by a James "Grim" Desborough, a "gamer-gate" supporting rape apologist, with a long (as in 15+ year) history of harassment of women who disagree with him in any way.

I know one personally who had to change her name as the only way to stop him campaigning against her, because he disagreed with her judgement calls during a game, and she'd broken up with someone he considered a friend - her actual comment on it was "I still have to watch what I do and where I speak in public due to him"

I know multiple people who were targets of harassment campaigns by him, and that was long before gamer gate. He's worse now.

I've not heard of rape threats made by him personally. But condoning of that sort of action? certainly.

I cut all ties with him about 2003 and have deliberately avoided not just him but that entire circle of people around him. But I know a fair few who, as mentioned, were harassed constantly for years, and his name still crops up every so often because of the shit he does - like his Mongoose goons.

I didnt hear any of the victims I know say they'd had rape threats, but that was a different circle to the gamergate neanderthals he now supports.

His old modus operandi was constant bombardment of victims with demands, litigation within society rules (ie, appeals etc) online stalking, bombardment with hundreds of emails, and all that sort of shit.

So go for it. Hit me with some evidence. I'd be interested to see if there is any.

Except that's clearly wrong, as can be shown with even a cursory review of fiction from early history.

Sounds like you just want to play at rolling dice to kill pretend monsters. Good stories include issues of race, sex and sexuality. If you get triggered when these things come up I pity you.

Even on an anonymous Outer Mongolian Throat-singing board like 4chan, I am unwilling to cite either the victims I know, or my own experiences, given I have absolutely no desire for any quotes from myself to come back to the man, and to have his attention turn in my direction. I cut all ties more than a decade ago, and want that to remain the case.

Likewise, I'm not going to give examples from friends, because I wouldn't wish to see his attention turn on my worst enemy.

in person... hard to describe. As a general guy, mostly sort of your average nerdy geek. But then you'd have him have some difference of opinion, and it would rapidly escalate to scary levels. That sort of almost-raging intensity where it would be arguing, not in a physical way, but where there was absolutely no way he'd back down on an idea where he thought anyone was wrong. (and of course, he was never wrong).
To be quite honest, I avoided the guy even then, because he had a reputation as a colossal dick. So at conventions and the likes, my normal action was to just politely say hello, and get away. And accidentally miss any games or events he was involved in, due to other commitments. Wasnt worth the hassle.

>Except that's clearly wrong, as can be shown with even a cursory review of fiction from early history.
Absolutely untrue. Most early fiction was Aesopic fairy tales about shit that people were not suppose to do. Lots of horror stories about kids not listening to parents, people not listening to god, and other such stuff specifically to shape society in a way that people thought was "progress".

So yes, that's always been the point of fiction. To help inform people about what they should and should not do, through storytelling.
>>
>>47470808
That makes complete sense though? There's nothing inherently odd about believing the complete absence of something is preferable to that "something" being implemented, but that "something" being implemented properly is preferable to mostly absent and unstructured "something".

Example: Better dead than red, but better healthy, strong and proud red than pathetic and half-dead

So hearsay and nothing substantive. Can't say that was unexpected.

Yes. Fuck off Grim, or whatever apologist shit you are that's busy lapping up whatever bile he's said this week. I'm not going to give examples that could put me, my family, or my friends at danger from that suck fuck again. He was a cunt in the 90's and around 2003, he's a bigger cunt 13 years on, and I have no wish to have him dragged back into the same company that I keep

Funny how your claims are impossible to prove. And also convenient.

Look, we're all tired of the whole schtick where radfems constantly go "I was raped 15,000 times between the time I woke up and the time I cashed my welfare check, DON'T QUESTION ME SHITLORDS!" If you can't prove it, and you can't even mention it because of fear of harassment, then shut the fuck up. You're either lying or a coward, and in neither case am I concerned for your words. Afraid to speak in public because of this guy? Second amendment exists for a reason.

Yeah, nah. Anyone gets accused of something that in this case satisfies the definition of criminal activity and I'll be asking for proof of the claims.

I don't even know him (beyond hearing the name). All I know is that over the past couple of years I've seen multiple people I DO know subjected to spurious, unsubstantiated accusations of bigotry and harassment spread by people with malicious intent.

It's innocent until proven guilty for me now, I'm afraid. My stock of good will has run dry.

>>47472611
I believe you and you're definitely not spouting horseshit.

Probably because an egalitarian would be against affirmative action and other legal and institutional discrimination based on sex and race, which makes them an unforgivable rapist bigot to people like you.

jesus, you're a fucking ignorant bog troll arent you?

Also, second amendment? Grim, from BASINGSTOKE?
I'll give you one fucking guess where I life, and the second amendment means precisely fuck all here.

But I suppose when you're too fucking thick to work out that if I knew him 15-odd years ago, my life and priorities may have changed since then? I'll give you one guess what that might entail.

What exactly would I get out of my "convenient claims" other than the fact I happened to note about this being written by the vindictive fucker who made several of my friends' lives hell for years, who has a history of harassing those who he perceives to be against his "cause", whatever twisted pro-rape misogynistic shit it might be nowadays?

If you think I'm a "radfem", well, the fact you even use that phrase rather indicates you're a fucking moron already, but no the idea that someone telling the fact someone is a fucking shitty human being makes them a "radfem" is even more evidence that you were dropped on your head as a child.

You're not even worth my time. But those who aren't brainwashed fucking mongoloids: Be careful of a single word Desborough writes. The man is a fucking cunt. The sad thing is that he might manage to make another few pennies off this latest drivel.

no.
But I hope you'll take a look at his past history, beyond this one book, and make your own mind up about who he is.

I hope you'll see he's sort of shitty person I know he is. But I cant force you to not think he's a wonderful guy who's the last bastion of men's rights, if you're that way inclined, can I?

In fact, I'd rather no-one took my word alone - with or without references that would ID me. Do the research, think for yourself.

No you fucking moron. They are stronger relative to women, but it's not ONLY relative since the difference is measurable independently.

It's not like they can both lift the same amount except when they're competing.

>>47473312
The people who are overly focused on the "character" of someone when discussing their views and opinions are usually the ones who are wrong and trying for the good old ad hominem.

"Well his opinion is suspect because he's a dick" just makes you look like an asshole, focus on countering their argument, not sticking your fingers in your ear because they're a meanie.

You can be a total asshole and also be right, you know.

not them, but the differences in strength between men and women are generally a factor of size. Sure, there are some differences in bone structure that effect super elite lifting, but if a woman has as much muscle as a man she will be generally as strong.

So women who are as strong as men are rarer, because it is difficult for women to build muscle with their lower test levels, but that does not preclude the possibility of women as strong as men.

>Socialism and anarcho-communism are the same thing.
Come on, kouhai, please do some research.

Also note that traditional socialist philosophers put emphasis on the concept of a nation "of the people, by the people and for the people". The base premise being that we own the government, so everything that is part of the government is communal property as well.

Before anyone brings up the USSR, let's note that Stalin's "communism" was a totalitarian state. Or else you're gonna have to acknowledge that both our and North Korea's governments are "republics".
>>
>>47473689
that's well and good as a philosophy but I mean logistically how the fuck are you going to do it. How do you take a real person, give them the power to take people's property away so that it can be given to the people, and then tell them that they are obligated to work "for the people" and not be a dictator? The public choice dilemma is very real and very much unanswered.

This is not even considering whether or not common ownership of property is a good idea, which it's fucking not at all.

Ownership comes in (generally) two forms, the right to have the property and the right to earn cash flow from the property. Most non-anarchic socialists want the second to be illegal but not the first. So you would have a house that was yours, but you couldn't sell it on the market.

Without the cash flow property right you don't have a price mechanism. Without a price mechanism there is no way for supply and demand schedules for capital goods to equilibrate, which is how you get underperforming socialist economies.

I can understand and even agree with the socialist sympathy for anarchism, but actual communal ownership of property is a terrible idea.

First flaw of the American refusal to consider governmental renovation: if AI can replace people in the labor sector, and the writing sector, and the art sector... why does everyone assume that they can't replace people in the political sector?

And before anyone bitches about the scary AI, note that an artificial intelligence need not have right to privacy. Therefore it can be open-source, and any data it utilizes can be public domain.

>Yes, but they're only stronger because they're bigger and stronger!

Except women and men in the same weight class still have a big performance gap.

Besides, even though size is definitely a factor, that doesn't really argue against the stat difference, it just reminds us that they should have a size stat difference as well as a strength stat difference.

How the fuck are you logically going to create a system where wealthy people can influence law makers in order to help themselves, and have anything resembling democracy?

The problem with your argument is that you're holding the alternative to a higher standard than the current state of things. Things kinda suck now, in case you didn't notice, and saying that the alternatives are problematic kinda glosses over that.

I know, I'm just trying to figure out what you are actually arguing.

How is one sex having more muscle mass not a clear case of them having a stat bonus? Are you just opposed, on principle, to any system that puts men at a theoretically higher max value?

Like, I understand the information you are giving out, I'm just not sure what you expect us to infer from it.

>Desiring to push society in the direction of an unworkable political, economic, and social philosophy on the basis of hypothetical advancements in AI technology sometime in the future is a really stupid idea.
You're assuming that any of the AI I'm talking about need be even remotely that complex.

Think about it this way: why do we have an IRS? We can automate the entire thing with a complex accounting database that handles all the input we get. We send out your same standardized forms as before, only that shit is put through a server rather than human hands. Citizens have full access to the source code, and their personal data in the database (tied to an account they can access).

inb4 hacking. Could it be hacked? Sure. Someone can theoretically sneak into federal buildings and steal shit too, yet no one freaks out about that and demands we avoid buildings.

>>47474020
> inb4 hacking

Data input/ manipulation is never the issue. The issue is how we measure and determine the taxation of assets and income. I'm not sure you understand how accounting actually works.
