Yeah they've definitely been in the tabletop scene right from the get go, anyone who ever went to college is pretty well fucked in those terms. You always hear about these guys who played tabletop in college, and they're such manginas. Hell even look at RedLetterMedia. As much as I love Jay and Mike, I can't ignore the fact that they used to regularly use the word misogyny in their reviews. Like for the Transformers movies, "And here we get misogynistic shot of Megan Fox scantily clad" – that's not what misogyny is, that's not how that fucking works. Misogyny is what retarded MRAs do where they're always like "THESE FUCKING CUNTS, I'M SO GLAD TO BE GAY NOW, MAN ISN'T LIFE GREAT WITHOUT WOMEN ALL FUCKING UP MY LIFE? YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE? NOT BEING WITH WOMEN ANYMORE." And they literally sound like that for their entire videos, they want to talk about how great it is to be MRAs, but their only talking point about what being an MRA is "MAN, I'M SO GLAD I WENT GAY, SO GLAD I'M NOT PUTTING UP WITH CUNTS ANYMORE."
Anyway, I watch movies like The Gamers, and Thac0, and the gamer stuff is fairly lighthearted and fun, but then you hear them criticizing gaming culture that they allegedly grew up with. "Man, how fucking stupid it was back then that women had a Strength penalty!" – You mean how stupid it was that they represented women accurately in tabletop?
In The Gamers they exaggerate the ridiculousness of "I seduce X," and in The Gamers: Dorkness Rising the bard sleeps with every female character he comes upon (including the party's sorceress), just to show that "HEY ISN'T GAMING SUCH A MISOGYNIST HOBBY? HE'S DOING A RIDICULOUS THING AND SLEEPING WITH EVERY FEMALE HE ENCOUNTERS!" The DM questions it every time it fucking comes up.
Tabletop has been the mangina hobby for ages, for every person trying to have a good time and ignoring the ridiculousness of things there's always got to be at least one faggot in the group who feigns offense on behalf of the "fairer" sex.
When I was going to put together a D&D group last year one of the guys was like "can I bring my friend?" I was like "sure, I guess." "Okay, and can he bring his girlfriend? She's a gamer, she'll totally be into it, oh man, it'll be so cool, and she's hot too." I mean the fact that he wanted his friend's girlfriend to play so he could ogle her is just creepy, but all the same, fuck off.
Well I know this guy is a creeper and all, but I hate it when people go out of their way to force the "girl gamer" onto you. I gamed once with a group of people and half the group were women, and it was awful. Virtue signalling, hen pecking, all that bullshit .. and this was back in 2006.
If you're comfortable as a group of friends with a certain girl to play, then go for it. But don't include girls into the group just because they're X's girlfriend/wife.
