I'm going to mute pinball here for a couple of weeks. I'm just... I'm tired, and weary, and it was just not the thing I needed to wrestle with right now with the whole world burning down.

Someone somewhere just posted "WTF is ping pong" and I might have just turned to dust and blown away.

If I had to compare the Sharpe clan to the Gygax clan in terms of how the dynasty has impacted the progeny, Josh Sharpe has fallen pretty much on the same side as Ernie Gygax rather than Luke Gygax.

I, uh, might've done a bad thing. Note that I'm setting the prices low enough I won't make any money on this. lynnindenver-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/...

Four full courses in Golden Tee and my rage has calmed from "volcanic eruption" to "simmering pot of hot vindaloo".

TLDR: Part of the idea of not desanctioning the event was to "protect the trans community from more backlash" despite two transwomen saying it needed to be desanctioned.

I will be blunt:

The International Flipper Pinball Association is not interested in doing what's right to ensure pinball is welcoming to women. In fact, they will go out of their way to justify not listening to the women who were supposed to advise them.

The IFPA/Pinball thing is the biggest unforced L I've ever seen. There is zero reason to take the route IFPA has taken. Policy is clear, advisory boards are unanimous in following policy, following policy harms no one.

It's *bafflingly* stupid from a management perspective and a human one.

I am amazed at how hard Becker ties himself into knots to avoid changing a decision that was made at the time on INCOMPLETE information. And all he's managed to do is show decisions from the org can't be trusted until he and Sharpe are gone.

This past week of IFPA failing to have their players' backs is another example of why I do not allow any of my hobbies to be "load bearing" parts of who I am. I can walk away from any of them, and still have plenty of things I enjoy doing to fill the gaps.

The IFPA has chosen to shut down discussion of the OBX event in their own discord server.

As everyone knows, shutting down discussion of a topic in one singular place will surely get people to stop. /s

What is the point of having a women's board if you just ignore them when they give you urgent, unanimous guidance?

I don't really play much pinball myself, but it's deeply upsetting to see something so near and dear to the hearts of so many wonderful people I follow implode like this.
remember that the entire IFPA Women's Advisory Board has spoken out against this, and they have been vetoed by one man

It is a shame that the legacy of the Sharpes will be muddled by a man who has decided to escape culpability for doing the right thing, and blaming two trans women (the IFPA member on site and the North Carolina IFPA Representative) in the process.

I'll probably keep doing pinball league, but I won't be going out of my way for other tournament opportunities. I only really have an IFPA number as an incidental consequence of playing in league, it's not something I sought out.

IFPA president Josh Sharpe has doubled down on awarding points to a pinball tournament where a transphobic hate crime occurred.

He now says the event _could_ have been stripped of its points, and blames the different outcome on two trans women.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

To say the IFPA's statement is disappointing and insufficient is an understatement.

"We made an email address, problem solved."

One man choosing to override the unanimous position of the Women's Advisory Board manages to make this worse than no action by showing how little regard IFPA has for them
An IFPA event became the center of a major controversy last weekend after a venue manager forcibly removed a trans woman from the women’s restroom and the TD allowed the event to proceed without interruption. The IFPA’s response has now created more controversy.
