I was so deeply tempted to get the Abyssal Hunter set but I wanted the Vulpisfoglia art too much.

The right wing actively harms cishet white men in more ways than it "helps" them. Progressive or left policies tend to help them in more ways than would "harm" them. Politics is not a zero sum game, and it is possible to make things better for everyone.

I feel like you misunderstand my point here. It's not about "wasting energy" or setting priorities. What I'm saying is that if you completely write off a group as gone then you guarantee they will stay gone and everyone will suffer the consequences of that.

"It's not about ceding them, it's about realizing that it's a losing fight."
When you realize you've lost a fight, you generally cede ground after. To me these statements are one and the same.

I'm not certain what works and what doesn't here but my gut says that when people are given something to believe in they'll believe it. When people are given something to hope for they will hope for it.

Yeah that was kinda my first thought. I was also thinking Blade's structure tends to match a lot of the event stories.

That's a super interesting choice for an arknights tabletop game. My first instinct is Blades in the Dark but I could imagine Fabula Ultima going quite well. Did you have to hack the system much?

So what, cede young men to the right forever? Accept that we're eternally stuck with stochastic misogynistic violence? Call me naive but I'd like to think there's something that can shake them from the shit making theirs and everyone else's lives worse.

Real harm has already been done, though that's partially reflected in the stocks already.

I could recommend other systems (like ST/WoD or FATE or something) but that defeats the broader appeal of using a D&D sheet.

I absolutely agree, there's a lot to gain from thinking through and organizing your character in the process of making a character sheet. I'm just pointing out that certain characters would be a poor fit for D&D specifically.

As a long time D&D player and DM I feel like doing this as a rule would narrow the focus of the exercise around what makes a D&D character interesting (fighting monsters & relative game balance) rather than what makes your character interesting. It beats nothing but there's better ways.

Such is the fate of all socially defined labels (aka all labels). For political action they can be a useful rallying point but when you want to get something done you're better off focusing on policies than ideology.

The actual dividing line between ideologies is always incredibly murky and will change depending on who you're talking to, when you're talking to them and in what context the conversation is happening. I tend to prefer academic labels so that's what I went with for the technical definition.

Mr Skeltal gave you the technical answer but the "real" answer is that you need to figure it out yourself. The labels are useful from an academic perspective but are far too broad to neatly fit an individual. I was just pointing out where people might get confused concerning hank's ideology.

That said, when the far right is in power it is incumbent for pro-democratic liberals and leftists to work together to stop them because both believe in fundamental principles like democracy and equal rights.
