    How to ensure your next D&D campaign is a feminist one

    >4. Limit the use of official D&D artwork into the campaign. It’s pretty much the only innately sexist thing about D&D

    I agree? The article is basically saying 'don't be a dick, and specifically don't be a racist, misogynist or ableist dick'. I agree with that.

    Don't be a dick.

    Basically make sure you are playing with a group you are comfortable in, that goes for anyone.

    Most game worlds are pretty egalitarian so the setting itself shouldn't ever be a problem.... unless you play FATAL.

    Today I awoke in a daze. My life felt meaningless. I had been with my gaming group for over 10 years, and I thought, this is it- its all over. I was contemplating tendering my resignation as the GM, for I could not possibly think of another theme or scenario that would be fresh for my players.

    Now...

    Nothing especially radical there. It boiled down to being in a group that fit's your desired style of play. Which is something everyone should do anyway.

    Would a game trying not to be sexist need to avoid the type of character designs mentioned in the article entirely, or just make them thoroughly in the minority?

    I feel like the majority of characters should be reasonably proportioned and clothed. But it wouldn't feel right to have a barbarian class and not have a picture of a ludicrously buff shirtless guy somewhere in there. Is the stereotypical wasp-waisted, large-breasted, scantily clad woman another instance of something you want one or two of to comply to tropes, or is it so offensive that including any is a detriment?

    I always wanted to make a Native American Changeling in WoD with a fairly normal name ('Sue Burnette'), who was one of the skyfolk Beast types nicknamed 'Raven'. The idea was he wore black jeans, a black corduroy long-sleeve shirt, a jacket, a black hat, and had a guitar slung over his shoulder. His life goal would be to find his father, and kick his fucking ass for naming him 'Sue'.

    Want to play a game with guys? Want to treat girls well in the group? Make no special changes to the group's dynamic.

    The assertion that women need to be catered to is inherently sexist. If you guys make rape jokes when there is no girl, then not making those jokes because there is one now makes you sexist.

    Also, don't be a nasty fuck and stop injecting your fetishes into the campaign.

But if someone flips shit about it, then I drop the bombshell that no, the father was a human blacksmith who lived happily in a village before a marauding Orc warband brought his mother, a knuckle-dragging she-orc barbarian. The character's father died of a crushed pelvis and collapsed rib-cage.

    If they laugh, then I can scold them with a straight face and say "It's not fucking funny! It's dead-serious because it's fucking rape."

    Am I the only person in these games that sees my character as a playing piece and not a mold for everything I want in a player?

    "Adequate time to explain backstory"

    No. I don't give a shit about his/her backstory. You're going to die by the third encounter so spending a week on backstory and dying two hours in is going to make you feel robbed.

    You get 4-5 sentences of backstory.

    "I am John Doe. I was born in the house my father built. It was ransacked by bandits and I escaped. From there, I became a thug and eventually a mercenary. Now, here I am with my spellbook and magical gear because fuck you my backstory has nothing to do with how my character works."

    But it takes a lot of time and effort to be as loud and persistent as the nutjobs.

    If you stick with this rule, then no one can ever accomplish anything because they have to spend all their time being as loud as the loudest nutjob around.

    Maybe you should just not worry about labels so much? If you want to know what a specific person thinks, ask them, instead of asking for a label that you know is bullshit because of polarization.

    First of all, speaking with some degree of first aid knowledge, a tourniquet restricts bloodflow. You tie it around shorn off limbs to stop yourself from bleeding to death. Tying a tourniquet around a male member would do nothing but drain it off blood and make it turn blue, you will not force an erection by that procedure.

    Second, forcing an erection by external stimulus and forcing an ejaculation are two entirely different things. For one, you cannot force the latter unless the would-be-ejaculator is to some extent aroused.

    tl;dr your character's mother could not have gotten pregnant, and even if she may have successfully raped the blacksmith, theres not a likely scenario in which he could have ejaculated.

    You might have a point about forced ejaculation (or not, I'm sure forced "milking" can still happen in the same way that a woman being raped is fully capable of having a real orgasm during it) but how the fuck is blood going to flow back out of a blood-filled penis after a tourniquet's applied, considering the whole point of the tourniquet is to restrict the bloodflow?

    Okay. Consider this, it isnt the blood that makes it hard.

    Blood merely supplies oxygen which makes it hard.

    There are two types of flow, systolic and diastolic, or rather, toward and away from the heart. Once blood is pumped into the member, it carries oxygen to it, after the oxygen has been assimilated to contract the muscles which keep it firm and rigid, the deoxygenated blood needs to be pumped back into the heart to sort of "recharge" its oxygen content if you will.

    Even though the member would be filled with blood, the blood will be depleted of oxygen very quickly, and the member will still turn blue and soft, albeit perhaps more squishy and bulbous.

    "contract the muscles which keep it firm and rigid"
    The only muscles you can possibly be referring to are the ones that control blood flow.

    It is not oxygen that makes it hard. It's not like there's muscle tissue that requires oxygen to work.

    What makes it hard is the spongey material that fills up with the blood itself. I understand you probably don't have male genitalia, so probably wouldn't understand how all this works, but please do some anatomical research. Constricting blood to ensure a longer erection is very common. They even sell shit to do this with, and they're quite popular. Look up "Cock-Ring".

    You can't force a woman to cum during rape, either. If she experiences orgasm, which many will do, that's not gonna 'feel' like an actual one to her, since she was - you know - raped.

    It's the exact same thing for men, and both sexes are best raped while you stimulate their asses, too, because it leads to much more lubricant for the woman, and a harder cock for the man.

    It's almost as if nature designed us to have these backdoors, so the species could survive even if we had to conquer and breed with unwilling tribes.

    At least a few women were forced into this. Maybe by husbands who thought they were frigid, or just hated them and knew they would be ashamed by it, even IF most women just did all of this voluntarily as a way to get off.

    You can't choose, but when it happens, your mind makes connections. So you're full of juice that makes you feel good, but it came about from a bad experience, and it wasn't something you asked.

    Your mind will quickly decide that it was a BAD THING that happened to you, and tells you to avoid it, no matter how badly you might want it.

    That's why rape victims sometimes are so fucked up in the head. Pleasure = a bad thing.

    Especially when blind-folded.

    If the entirety of your sensory input becomes limited to what you feel with no visual perception, what the person looks like no longer becomes an obstacle to your arousal.

    That said, even if you don't like what the person looks like, your body will still react against your wishes and may be aroused (i.e. why-boner.jpg).

    What I'm on about is the fallacious idea that feminists already "won" and that the only reason they still exist is to push this fearsome man-hating agenda - the one that, oddly enough, seems to only ever be taken seriously by right-wing hatemongers.

    Do you actually know women? As in, talk to them? Listen to what they have to say about things? The visible, concrete institutions of sexism might have been torn down for the most part but a lot of the CULTURE of sexism still exists. Part of that culture is the garbage you can see in this very thread.

    You say you're for gender equality, but it seems to me like you're only for the easy stuff, the stuff that is already over and done with.

    What are you 4? The main idea for this article seems to be to play with a group you are comfortable with. If you feel that you would have to restrict the way you play with someone don't get into a game with them. And if being misogynistic is just how your character plays that is fine, but don't expect a female to be okay with it, that is like calling a black person a nigger jokingly and automatically expecting them to understand that you didn't mean it to be racist.

    the negative modifier to str rule completely makes sense, but -4 may be a little harsh.

    to argue otherwise is pointless.

    maybe for a -2 to STR you could give them a +1 CON because women are physiologically more resistant to pain, have better immune systems and live slightly longer, and a +1 CHA because lets face it, you're more likely to trust a woman rather than a man because of freudian psychology which makes you unconsciously think of your loving mother.

    these are just fair physical characteristics and are not stereotypical in any malicious sense.

    Your statement suggests that the strongest woman on Earth has less muscle than the weakest man on Earth. This is false. Women may, on the average, have less muscle mass than men, but PCs are not average people. They are heroes. They are atypical people. And thus handicapping either gender is plain sexist.

    Effectively a Halfling's build cannot provide as much muscle power and cannot take as much punishment as a human's body could, if my biology does not fail me.

    On the other hand, a trained human female can build up much more strength and, depending on muscle mass, can take about as much damage as a trained human male.

    Thus, a malus for halflings does make sense. They're half as long as you, dude.
    -4 for females is just bullshit.

    Biologically women do live longer though, this one I know for a fact.

    I don't even care about the content of the article. First off, she's stated she played a bisexual character. Anyone who SPECIFICALLY makes it a point to describe their character's sexuality, is an insufferable cunt.

    Secondly, she is so arrogant she feels it necessary to have her character's backstory be part of the plot. Protip: go fuck yourself. If the DM wants the characters' history to play a role in the story, you'll know. If not, don't think you're super special, because you're not.

    Lastly, she complains how she can't show how "kick-ass" her character is because no one knows (cares) about her backstory. If her character's in-game actions don't show she's a badass, she's not. So shut the hell up and stop being so god damned selfish.

She'll lose the clinch, but with a chance of reroll in the event of a tie since 1) She's a PC, and 2) It's a douche decision I acknowledge.

    Well, women are emotional so that makes it harder for them to think clearly, which makes the quest for wisdom more difficult for them.

    Though I have to admit, you're being a bit unfair to women. Make it +2 dex and -3 everything else, that should be pretty fair.

    -4 Str is a sad, tired old dead-horse with no basis beyond just ensuring your game group will remain a sausage-fest. If you really want some Str mod for women then make it -2 Str and give them +2 Dex. While simultaneously giving males +2 Str and -2 Dex.

    This is actually one of the more sickening things that Feminists do.

    They try to imply that male-on-female rape is the only kind of rape. In their minds, or at least in their dialog, female-on-male and female-on-female rape don't exist. And the few times male-on-male rape is recognized as being a thing, it's often treated without anywhere near the same severity, and is often seen as a fitting punishment for men in jail.

    Mind you, these are often the same people who say that rape, or at least their definition of rape, is the worst thing you could do to another human being (and on a tangent: It's not, that "honor" belongs to murder.)

    -2 CON (because if youre going to argue that elves are fragile, why isnt the typical woman similar?)

    -4 CHA (because of the male-dominated patriarchal society that looks down on women and would rather have a woman burnt than give her a fair trial to prove she isnt a witch, also try having a female intimidate an ogre with her shrill high pitched voiced)

    You keep ignoring the fact that adventurers are exceptional. They are player characters. Lvl1 Female Barb vs Lvl1 Male Barb, isn't going to matter since they're both Barbarians.

    She's not a regular human being. She's been trained/tested/naturally-inclined toward something whereas Ted and Tara Shitslinger are not.

    As an adventurer, she's stronger than Ted and likely as strong as her male counterpart. If she was physically weak, she wouldn't be a fighter.

    You're severely mistaken if you think someone in this situation has power over the group, they probably like her _because_ she's a doormat. She is flatly refused when she asks for something she wants, if she had them 'wrapped' around her little finger she could get it, instead, she's admittedly meek and does what they say. To be honest, i can kind of sympathize considering I tend to be rather meek and accepting of what my friends want as long as it's not criminal or dangerous, But no matter how you approach the situation, she probably isn't going to get them to reverse their situation, the most she can probably swing is redress in the form of something else, like more starting gold or a negative LA, it's that or leave. They clearly have her wrapped around their fingers if she's willing to stay like this. It's her decision if shes fine with a relationship like that. picture very related.

    I'm gonna call bullshit right there. With the exception of some extremists, feminists are generally out to help acknowledge that male rape happens and is also severe. The major reason that you only see a few recognized cases of male rape is because they're reported far less frequently. Men are usually raised with a "shut up and deal with it" mentality and that carries over. Then, of course, there's the fact that the initial report (if any) will likely be laughed at and they'll be emasculated for even attempting.

    You've confused dexterity with flexibility, a common mistake.
    Let me get you a definition of dexterity:
    >Fine motor skills are the coordination of small muscle movements which occur e.g., in the fingers, usually in coordination with the eyes. In application to motor skills of hands (and fingers) the term dexterity is commonly used. When applied to the theory of human aptitude this is called manual dexterity.

    Dexterity isn't how well you can bend your body to do weird shit, it's how well you can do things like perform surgery.

    And statistics show that the average male is more dextrous than the average female.

    grow up. Recognizing that in real life women have penalties to strength that are not compensated for does not make it the end of the world nor make it okay to treat women like shit in a game, which is why we give them no penalties in the first place, because its more fun not to, not because, as you've deluded yourself into believing, it makes sense.

    In reality, we have to deal with a lot of shit we don't in games. Such as y'know, getting jailed for "adventuring" (killing/looting) and yada yada. In games, we can indulge ourselves in a different world, where the laws of this reality do not apply. In reality, yes, there is quite the difference between men and women, both in physique and in mentality. Personally, I believe certain groups (such as men and women) are better at certain things. Men obviously better at physical strength and endurance. Women more agile and better at gauging social situations. These are general trends, and not hard rules. Sure, world's strongest male>world's strongest female. World's most agile woman>world's most agile man. But outside of these cases there is a lot of leeway.

    Anyhow, if we can accept dragons, undeath, provable GODS, fuckin' magic, all of which have arbitrary limits and powers... Why can't we accept yet another departure from actual reality in that the men and women all have the same physical and mental potential? It's not much more than that which is required to "fix" a roleplaying game's potential misogynism.

    Now, in a hard scifi, modern or even historical scenario, you need to take this into account. But not in normal fuckin' D&D. You're there to slay orcs, rise in power and potentially challenge the gods themselves. Gender feels like it has no place in this. But, that might just be me spending too much time around my female friends (whom I incidentally spend more time with than my RPG buddies). Take it as you wish. I'll keep monitoring.

    No, wrong. Yes, a human barbarian will be, as an adventurer, stronger than the average village woman, or even the average village male. That doesn't mean she would be as strong as her male counterpart.

    I'm not really jumping in on one side of the argument or other, this post just reminded me of something I experienced in college, in a literature class. One day the topic of rape was brought up, as there was a raping in the book we were reading for that week and one of the female students was a rape victim.

    See, this leads to a small period of commiserating between a bunch of the women, and I'm just chilling in the back reading ahead, when I hear someone say, "yeah, hey, I've never really mentioned this before, but me too."

    Basically one of the guys in the room had gotten violated by his babysitter when he was eight years old. She used a broom and winebottle on him while jacking him off, apparently - he didn't really use those words, but that was the general idea of what happened to him.

    Like half of the room started laughing and a bunch of the girls got really pissed at him - not the rape victim girl as far as I remember, but some of the ones who had been consoling her or whatever.

    Never saw that guy in that class again. I thought it was the damnedest thing, you'd think that kind of situation would be one where he'd actually be safe talking about it.

    Damn.

    I think there is a general misconception in this.
    While females are less strong than males in reality, trying to have the same in a game that uses strength as the most important variable makes women far less viable, where it would only be one factor among many in reality.
    So you cannot really have an accurate translation of gender dimorphism because the system is flawed.
    Thus, you have eather women be hulking monsters in extremes or effectively unable to fight in general.

    PROPOSITION!
    So, you would need to adjust the system by a modifier that makes them do about the same level of damage while they have less strength and a bonus somewhere else to make it fair.

    Which didn't actually address what I said in the slightest.

    You keep saying PC vs NPC, but the difference I'm talking about is between Males and Females of the same race. Male and Female PCs are different from Male and Female NPCs of the same race.

    Of the same race.

    And once more so I'm sure you've read it:

    Of. the. same. race.

    Elves, as a race, are distinct from humans. And since the topic is about gender.

    Gender.

    Gender.

    And, as before, so I know you've read it:

    Gender.

    Sorry man. Didn't read the argument through enough. Yes, if you wish to be true to reality, women should have a) less basic strength than men, b) harder to train it and c) a lower strength maximum than men. I do not attempt to deny this. I'm just saying that maybe realism shouldn't be a main concern in a game that lets fairies breed with storm giants.

    Let's give this another shot.

    The stats comparisons are not just between NPCs. And elf adventurer (PC) has -2 because he is weaker than the human adventurer (PC). Following the same line of though, female adventurer has lower stats than male adventurer because she is weaker than he is.

    Random villagers and shit like that don't come into play AT ALL.

    This fucking pisses me off. Misandry is rampant in our culture, and it has some seriously fucked up but generally not explicitly underlined consequences, like what happened to your friend in class. That is just fucking disgusting and to think a female rape victim got sympathy while a male victim got laughed at doesn't surprise me at all, even though it does sicken me.

    Misandry is the word of the day now. Think of how often you see the trope of guys being stupid while women focus on the problems at hand and solve them, and men being nonchalant, happy-go-lucky chucklefucks who don't see anything going on while the women solve everything, or who are generally passive while female protagonists fulfill the active roles. Anymore it's almost an inside joke that the man is "scared" of the woman because even though she's sweeter and more sociable, there's this underlying assumption that women are just "made of sterner stuff" than men and get what they want.

    You see this in everything from sitcoms to anime, and it's destroying men's ability not just to be men, but to be right in any situation. Effectively, in drama, it seems sometimes that women get to be the "caregivers" and the "breadwinners" and "wear the pants" all simultaneously while rarely having any real flaws put forward by writers.

    nope, you're just trolling, because unless you're a six year old you'd be able to spot the enormous flaw in your argument.

    This is an arguement about reality, and the way reality works doesn't give anyone special immunity just because theyre 'an adventurer' similarly, in a game that applies gender dimorphism penalties for women in order to be more realistic, being an adventurer doesn't give you the ability to magically overcome them like they're just some chain you can break and toss off, reality doesn't work that way.

    Picture related. it's someone who had to deal with said penalties and never let it make her back down.

    I see an elf is weaker than a human.

    I don't see a woman is weaker than a man.

    >Following the same line of though[sic], female adventurer has lower stats than male adventurer because she is weaker than he is

    This doesn't apply because FEMALE is not a race. ELF is a race. FEMALE is a gender within the race. If you want to follow through there to the logical conclusion, all female Elves/Haflings have -6 to -8 Strength because 1) their race is weaker than humans. and 2) They're female.

    Hey, faggot? This anecdotal evidence coincides with what I've seen my entire life. Now I admit my experiences are limited to me, but I'm talking about what I see on television and in movies as much as I am about what I've seen in real life. If you had read my post at all you'd have seen the words "trope" and "protagonist" - I am referring directly to the universally shared storytelling tendencies in culture today, and because 90% of my post was about that, I think it's more accurate to say I made a single comment on an anecdotal story and then proceeded to tell how that anecdotal story relates to a trend I've seen in our culture's media, which is itself a general pulse for what people are shown, what people want, and what they will accept.

    >a lot of it can also be explained as fantasy, I think the description for female characters in D&D said something to the effect that females were not limited by their gender to perform the same feats as males in this fantasy world that doesn't exist

    I wish it were so innocuous, but I don't think it is. I think it marks the fact that the thought police now have jurisdiction over gaming as well. The best evidence I have of this is that gender equality is NEVER explained within games, which would be necessary if it were a fantasy element. You'll find plenty of explanations of all the various fantasy races and ideas and worlds. You can read about the cultures and histories of Elves and Dwarves and Orcs and all the pantheon, but you're never going to find anything explaining why human males and females have equal ability. It's not meant to be a fantasy element, it's something they assume implicitly and carry over from real world political correctness. If we were being honest, D&D females should have the following modifiers:

    STATS

    -4 STR
    -2 CON
    -1 INT
    -6 WIS
    +8 CHA

    SKILLS

    -2 Intimidate
    -4 Listen
    +3 Sense Motive
    -4 Survival
    +10 Profession: Prostitute

    Spell-like ability to cast create baby once every 9 months.

    But if games were to be this honest there would be no female fantasy heroes, and gaming as an activity would be targeted for condemnation by the thought police until it was changed.

    But the main thing that makes a penis hard are the spongy areas in the main body that fill with blood to gain their rigidity. Those are basically bags that use pressure to keep themselves rigid, the oxygen has nothing to do with them as they are not muscles. If you keep them from deflating, they don't deflate regardless of oxygen content.

    I sometimes do, when I feel like arguing. But it's time-consuming, frustrating and rarely fruitful.
