It started earlier this morning with a thread congratulating the sub on the fewest "tl;dr" summaries. That thread became a conflagration of angst the mods probably had no idea was brewing under their feet. I generally hate all of you, so the fun didn't seem worth sharing, but now times are fat, so enjoy.

When that sub was like 4000 people it was really good. Mostly just funny or cringey "THAT GUY" stories like you find on /tg/.

Nowadays its all "The imaginary DM used an imaginary goblin to rape my imaginary character and then he said a mean thing about transexual black middle eastern jews now i never want to play D&D ever again".

We haven't even had a good argument yet how do you know you hate me?

Also thanks for sharing.

You guys block me occasionally. I only take it personally on a thematic level, and know you're probably cool.

You’re wrong, It’s not just thematic, they’re actually just not cool, but you have little room to talk considering you’re actively involved in an online rpg forum🤮

I'm not involved. We barely even kissed.

The true drama is kinda spread out. Overall, I notice a higher quality of writing standard emerging as a consequence. DMs are taking their rightful place as SettingChads.

I don't know why but DnD nerds suddenly make me seethe so much.
