Great summary of one of the best Chinese RPGs ever made.
Hopefully soon people will actually play the upcoming remake and experience this story themselves. Would hate to see it get dismissed as "that Chinese E33 clone".

And everyone can now read this piece on Softstar's Sword and Fairy 4, an admirably thoughtful RPG that dares to question and then challenge some important narrative pillars of the genre:

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I feel this so deeply. Sandman was extremely foundational to my taste in literature, mythology, overall story telling (plus—spoiler warning for a 30 year old comic—the new dream is called Daniel and so I always thought the book was speaking directly to me).
Thread.
Shitty people can make good and even great art. Likewise, dropping a favorite artist after you realize you can no longer support them can feel like a divorce or a friend breakup because they and their work were just that important to you. That shit hurts, even when it's necessary for you.

A tough one to sit with--but we must--is that some people's ability to make good art in part derived from, or was protected by, the fact that they were enabling or doing terrible things. See also: We Need to Talk about Cosby doc. Even more troubling on this score: Read deep reporting on Alice Munro

Someone out there needs to hear this:
It is OK to not be OK.
As content creators we are afraid to let our masks slip. We need to normalize allowing ourselves to feel and be real.
I am not OK. I am far from OK. I deserve it to myself to express this openly and acknowledge pain.
And so do You.
