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

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 American 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.
Who’s worse? The DM, or the imperialist players?

what a wild and cynical world you must live in. Just divorced from any joy or whimsy… have fun making everyone around you feel awkward…
terranoid@lemmy.cafe 2 weeks ago
How dare you infer I have no whimsy. Motherfucker I am chock full of whimsy and joy.
What is more whimsical, enjoying a fresh new world for what it is and exploring it and accepting their differences that you may not fully understand, or asking if it has gay marriage and democracy and destroying it if it does not already reflect your neoliberal values?

Just because neoliberals tolerate gay people doesn’t mean that gay rights are inherently neoliberal. Democracy, maybe, but we don’t know if they were doing elections with unlimited campaign spending by property owners or if they were voting in workers’ councils. Classical Athens, the United States, the PRC, the DPRK, and the Republic of Ireland all have/had democracies in some sense, but they vary massively in implementation, and anyone who calls all of those neoliberal is either very confused or not being sincere.
Furthermore, trying to change the world is central to nearly any RPG. A crusade to obtain human rights doesn’t prohibit whimsy or enjoyment, but when you do the fantasy equivalent of traveling to modern Gaza to organize a festival, you shouldn’t be terribly surprised when you get a bad ending regardless of whether you accomplish your goal.

You missed the Six Nations, and to try to call them neoliberal would be absolutely WILD.

Why are you popping up everywhere insulting people for no reason
SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Wild coming from the guy who is literally following me around to downvote and harass me across different threads/posts/communities. The guy who scrolled my whole profile to downvote every post is called “me” toxic…

Are they wrong? Aside from the CIA doing it for oil instead of cultural values?
Xerxos@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Oh, please. The CIA would never interfere because of social values. If there is oil involved, or the interests of a big American company, though…

“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.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.
apprehensivecrab1@lemmy.world 1 week ago
And is it social progress to you for a society to allow gay people to have civil rights?
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 week ago
social progress is relative to your goals.
for a western society? yeah, for non-western societies? no.
