      1) Historically, Indigenous whalers spanned gender. Did you read the bibliography? 2) Historically, the Jersey Devil didn't exist. Did you read that this is an alternate history #ttrpg? 3) Historically, TTRPGs were written for men. Did you read that this is an inclusive game? https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1435583513462456322 …

      24/ Downthread I specifically called out how alternate histories can explain some things, @ZweihanderRPG , for example, if you wanted to have black royalty in the UK, that could absolutely work, but they CAN'T be used to handwave "suddenly women have 3x upper body strength".

      An interesting thing about this chart is the outlying observations showing some women above the curve for men. Aren’t characters in TTRPGs by definition outliers from the norm in their setting? https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1435583658639904768 …

          31/ off on a tangent, the core problem here is that progressives have a few ethical concerns: - we should be nice to blacks - we should be nice to women - we should be nice to LGBT sexual minorities ok, fine but then, because they come from a materialist "ethical" tradition >

          32/ They define worth and value in instrumental terms. A person has value to the degree that they're smart. A person has value to the degree that they're strong. A person has value if their career is "productive" and exciting.

          36/ ...and, sadly for them, the evidence fails - at every turn - to support their wild, made-up ad-hoc claims. Which then means that progressive arguments fall apart, all the data betrays them, and the only thing they have left is social shaming and screaming.
