So let& #39;s unpack this... cause it& #39;s just going to repeat as long as racists get in their feelings.

One, they& #39;re wrong. We& #39;re not making a MMO. YOU go make an MMO with 7 developers, I& #39;ll wait.
Two, some of y& #39;all stay with "GO MAKE YOUR OWN!" in your mouth when we talk about wanting representation. But when we do? We get this shit.
You can& #39;t have it both ways.

Also, there are fifty-eleven-hundred RPG shows with an all white cast, all white crew; but yet when one show, ONE is in production with all Black & POC cast, some folks hop up with "but you& #39;re excluding us!" HOW DARE YOU?
Lemme explain.
Lemme explain.
For the entirety of my time gaming, I been excluded. On purpose, and because people made assumptions on who was holding a controller or rolling dice. Games were marketed to the 18-35 y.o male, white demographic. Both video & ttrpgs.
For most of the time I have touched a D20, I& #39;ve been told it& #39;s not for me, people like me don& #39;t play, made to feel unwelcome in the spaces I tried to hang out in. I& #39;ve been .. blessed to be part of Rivals. To have the experience of my folks filling all the seats.
It& #39;s why we get so excited when there are people like us on the screen, on film, in games and it& #39;s done well. When we know that someone who cares put their heart & soul into it. It& #39;s also why we can spot when there are none of us in the room where it happened.
So, with this opportunity? OF COURSE I was going to bring an all Black & POC crew with me. Why? We rarely get these opportunities. We have a chance to make something beautiful, with our voices, hands, art and more making this game live.
That& #39;s why I am getting so furious at the people who got the unmitigated gall to hop into threads where we talk about a lack of representation to go make our own, but then cry foul and claim they are left out. Except, no one said you weren& #39;t welcome.
No where, in any place have anyone involved in this game said white people can& #39;t play it, watch the stream, or be involved in that way. For once, you& #39;re not in the writers room or drawing board; but trust y& #39;all will be OK. We& #39;ve had to deal with it for decades.
If you truly can& #39;t stand for a bunch of Black & POC folks to say who lives, who dies, who tells our story? Go kick rocks. There& #39;s plenty of all white RPG shows out there to consume, to support. If they want your racist ass as a fan.
Also, where is all this energy for the racists, misogynists and harassers that still are on Twitch with no repercussions? Y& #39;all got plenty to say against one small Black & POC led project but got nothing for them? Cool, cool, cool.
So TL;DR make up your fucking minds. Either we make our own in peace and you shut the fuck up forever about it. Or maybe, y& #39;all can put more chairs at the table and actually welcome us.
