In light of some things going around #RPG today, I had my own feelings to share. This isn& #39;t a subtweet, just how I feel about something.

When You Take Away Player Agency, It’s Not Being a Good DM — It’s Assault. https://link.medium.com/Y0jkeZyOm5 ">https://link.medium.com/Y0jkeZyOm...

The fact that we don& #39;t like to use "serious" words when it comes to things like this is exactly when the TTRPG scene is like a whack a mole of sexual predators.

And it& #39;s interesting (shitty) to me that we only want to talk about this stuff AFTER it happens.

Then we throw up our hands and go "I can& #39;t believe this is happening!" when creepy shit happens at the table.

A lot of these types of people hide within that grey area of "An action but not an action."

I& #39;ve dealt with that a LOT as a black man. Dealing with invisible abuse.

Also, I don& #39;t like how some people who disagree come in my mentions like I& #39;ve never dealt with being a victim of assault.

There are reasons why I& #39;m very passionate about these subjects.

I& #39;ve been through shit and I& #39;m determined that others DON& #39;T have to.

And if we can& #39;t sit here and look at how someone else directing an avatar of YOURSELF, to do things you never asked, isn& #39;t assault, then we need to work some definitions.

That& #39;s my hill. This is my hill.

Respect your players. Period.
