I’m at #GameholeCon in Madison seeing thousands of people enjoy #ttrpg and friendship, so it warms my heart to see this sign at the protest in the center of town.

I can't afford high-end ttRPG products on a ttRPG creator's income. If I don't get it as a comp or a gift I likely don't have it.
There's some awesome deluxe stuff out there with my name in it that I can't afford.
Among game artists, developers, and writers this is common.

There is a great deal of discourse surrounding DTRPG’s de-listing of Rebel Scum. I think the conversation is an important one, but it should be based on facts.
Here are the facts as I understand them. I admit I don’t have as complete a picture as I would like.

I can now add ‘nasty little trollop’ to the list of adjectives random internet strangers have given me. This time it was because I fully support students rights to protest.
Some of the other names include:
Absolute Nightmare
Ovarian
Hysterical Lib
Goth Snowflake
What adjectives would you give me?

It does not matter how cool your clothing is, if it isn’t size inclusive, I can’t buy it. I’m just going to start blocking clothing companies who don’t bother with actual inclusive sizing.
