But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.

@adamserwer.bsky.social's new article in the atlantic has a lot of bangers but omg THIS!!! we need to talk more about the context of why games like d&d have the roots they do and why no media is safe from repeating past mistakes acknowledge. understand. do better.

us: *post about our deep dives into d&d's sexist history* the comment section: "you should play pathfinder instead" my sister in lolth where did we say we didn't play pathfinder 😭

words d&d does not know the definition of: - matriarchy - realism - egalitarianism

Ever since the @slovenlytrulls.com did an awareness campaign on true matriarchies, I've become a believer. bsky.app/profile/slov...

I’m not a Trekkie but I’ve done enough basic research into the Star Trek fandom to know women basically invented it, and are why the show even continued to exist. This kind of writing is part of institutional sexism that denies women’s accomplishments and role in history and it infuriates me

THIS THIS THIS

google scholar is an INCREDIBLE resource we use her all the time for our research we also use jstor which we somehow just learned lets you read 100 FREE ARTICLES A MONTH WITH AN ACCOUNT??? peer-reviewed research is not all behind a paywall. take advantage of these FREE databases often + robustly 📢

every time you kiss your homies in d&d a fairy grows their wings

us: hmmm what fun d&d history fact are we gonna post today? tiktok inspiration tab:

Feels a bit odd ‘liking’ this, but it is….curious and horrifying just how much of D&D is founded in essentialist crap. Such casual misogyny at play with *female specific statistics*. That’s systematic… (and listen to @slovenlytrulls.com, it’s great!)

✨️ annual reminder that gary gygax was a biological determinist ✨️

Without question. Shout out to the women this week. Just…shout out to yall.

we absolutely need to be talking more about gamergate and its impact in not only the gaming space but also modern culture at large

hey so remember how our entire brand is calling out d&d lore and history for all of its problematic content lolol some of you may not know that we actually try to fix it over on our patreon!! shardae reimagines previous topics MONTHLY for our wanton wench tier and above ✨

all ttrpgs are inspired by d&d
