DriveThruRPG decided to listen to supporters of fascism and ban the Rebel Scum TTRPG because it's anti-fascist.

Soon, I'm going to remove everything I sell on DriveThruRPG, and I will never use it again

I'm scared, because I don't make much money and around half is from DriveThruRPG

but im done

Policy like this, which conflates explicitly anti-hate content as “hateful content”, filters out any dissent to the fascism and imperialism that is destroying lives throughout the world. DriveThruRPG is manufacturing consent for the jackbooted Gestapo thugs and the imperialist war machine.
Roll20, which owns DriveThruRPG, told Rebel Scum's designer (@9thlevelgames.bsky.social) that allowing their "hateful content" and political speech on its platform constituted a "slippery slope."

Tide-mark
And top of the ages' strike,
Verge where they called the world to come,
The last advance of life -
Ha ha, the rust on the Iron Dome!

Something I haven't seen discussed is that these are Operation Condor era tactics, specifically the Dirty War in Argentina. Clandestine detention centers (CCDyE) were hosted in basements, offices, even garages.

A fantastic video by YouTuber Indie Nile that covers a lot of ground regarding videogames as military recruitment tools; disseminations of imperialism and Islamophobia that manufacture consent for the GWOT and the genocide in Gaza; and act as memory holes for US war crimes.

“The war machine reforms a smooth space that now claims to control, to surround the entire earth. Total war itself is surpassed, toward a form of peace more terrifying still.”

I debated writing a “What is a role-playing game” section, but I find it a more thematic introduction to the book than I had originally planned. #TTRPG
