I will try to, in between screaming fits. This is the latest scandal / outrage to hit the Twin Cities gaming scene, and it's exacerbating the already fractured politics / ideologies that are permitting what used to be more of a community. As an "elderly white male gatekeeper of the hobby", to quote Mike Mearls, I'm getting hassled by both 'SJWs' and 'grognards' for what I game, how I game, who I game with, and where I game. I've gotten hassled for supporting a local women's gaming group that several of my daughters and my Missus belong to, on the grounds that I'm "invading women's space". (The people in the group have a very different, and opposite, view of the matter.)
The firestorm is still raging, and I'm trying not to get burned.
EDIT: The firestorm has moved off the public thread on this local site, but I'm posting a link so you can see for yourselves what's happening:
