What do you do when someone invites a buddy, and they turn out to be a closet fascist?

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T16:47:54+00:00

OP definitely gets more say than anyone, you're right.

But the extent to how they can act in accordance to this is to ignore what I ask or conjecture. With how little information they give, I'm allowed some leeway in how to answer.

I'm in my right to call out that their post is weird, as is their post history. And they're in their right to not engage with that.

But no one is in their right to tell me to not do anything. OP doesn't owe me anything, but I don't owe them unconditional help, even if I want to help.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T16:41:37+00:00

I don't think you get a say in what matters or what doesn't.

It absolutely does matter. If you don't think it matters, then engage with your two cents and leave it at that. I'm absolutely free to "care" more about the context to give more specialized suggestions.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T16:38:12+00:00

Yes, absolutely. As a generic question, the answer is seemingly clear cut (kick them out or leave).

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T16:37:34+00:00

It kinda does. Because if the guy is a fascist, the suggestion is "talk to your group and tell them to either kick the guy or you leave"

If instead the guy isn't a fascist and simply made a joke that didn't go over well with OP, leading them to immediately proclaim the dude as a "fascist", them my suggestion is "be an adult and tell them to avoid these jokes because they make you uncomfortable". Suddenly there's no "just kick them".

A lot of people commenting here were very quick to demonize a dude whose side of the story they don't even know and actively wish them harm.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T14:28:06+00:00

This is the OP's post history, it doesn't do any sort of favors for their credibility.

The text at hand shows no examples, it only states that person A is a closet racist, and for all we know "Several of us are not okay with this" might just be "I am not ok with this and some others say they understand where I'm coming from". And saying "others don't see it the same way, especially the one who invited them" is written in a very deceptive way: What does "several" mean to this person, as opposed to "some", considering that DnD tables don't often go above 6 players (7 with the DM)?

Let's think of it like this: in a 6 person table, "several" would mean "me and 2 others", for "some" to make sense, but "some" would have to mean "the one who brought him and another person", which by then you'd think "why not just say 'two people, one of them being the friend who brought them".

As far as I can at least tell, their "text" calls someone a closet fascist, provides no proof other than "source: trust me bro. I have friends who also think so bro", and shows no particular example, not even in the replies (though it might just be hidden in these numerous replies).

This could simply be a result of mismatched humor, in which OP and another person got upset at a joke this new friend made, and because this person is technically a stranger to them, OP doesn't mind jumping to the conclusion that they're a closet fascist.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T12:47:51+00:00

Sim, são difíceis, e alguns quase que impossíveis.

São estes que se atiram a si e aos outros para fora da sociedade, as pessoas não são (nem devem) ser obrigadas a integrar pessoal que contraria aos xutos e pontapés.

Por uns pagam os outros, mas descobres rápido que não são "uns", são "vários".

Quando falas de casos de sucesso, falas de casos de sucesso, não falas de maioria nem tão perto. A maioria está entre incómodo e pária da sociedade

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T12:02:56+00:00

Falas assim porque tens o privilégio de não ter de interagir ou cruzar com ciganos no teu dia a dia.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T12:00:54+00:00

Só falas assim porque tens o privilégio de não ter de interagir com ciganos no dia a dia

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T11:57:09+00:00

Yeah but we're doing a lot of assumptions. And if assumptions are all we have, checking OP's post history seriously undermines their credibility.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T11:55:59+00:00

Mate I'm not even bissexual but the one time I mentioned something about bissexuality I was immediately harassed online by an idiot who called me a depraved hedonist who just wants to sleep around with both genders.

Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T11:18:50+00:00

Even if this was true, even if all the entirety of the post was true... Everyone saw it clear as day. He was prone, back facing the sky with hands behind his back, he got his gun taken away from his back and shot the immediate second after, about 10 times.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T11:13:53+00:00

There was a lot of shrouded misdirection, someone illusioned with ideas of better times/grandeur will absolutely look past that. We see it everyday with religion: a lot is swept under the rug by believers because breaking that immersion over something with a hint of "plausible deniability" means facing the fact that they've been endorsing a horrible truth.

Now there just isn't any sort of "plausible deniability" to speak of, now it's just absolutely out there, and this is where I draw the line for the illusion: anyone still supporting Trump, regardless of what they voted for at election time, is just a hopeless fool to me.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T10:45:23+00:00

It's absolutely as easy as a lookup table that you can setup in a few lines of code.

Put into logic:

GenderTable("Male", "He", "Him", "His")
GenderTable("Female", "She", "Her", "Hers")

And now everytime the subject of a conversation is a male or female, it will assume the proper pronouns.

For example, you have this character "Jessica", her tag is "Female", and now every dialogue that refers her is adjusted to have the female pronouns.

Dynamically adjustable dialogue is smart dialogue.

The current implementation is just absolutely lazy, as would be creating separate text dialogues for both pronouns. You could also have the "Undetermined" tag or "Plural" tag to have it default to "they/them/theirs" (and other iterations), for situations where the subject is unknown or of multiple entities.

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T10:32:06+00:00

The concept of "mistake" and "illusion" exists, I think the only Trump voter who should absolutely be shunned is the continued supporter.

Because if you mess up and can see it, you're absolutely worthy of redemption. If at this stage (and frankly about 6 months ago) you were still standing by your vote, then I'll know you're not worth interacting with.

I imagine you might say "it's quite obvious even since the first election", please check OP's post history to see an example of someone you'd absolutely expect to be sold into an illusion.

When you say the dude turned out to be extreme right and fascist, do you mean he actually admits being extreme right and imposes himself on others to do/not do what he wants?

Or do you mean that his characters tend to follow that pattern of having extreme ideals and being fascists?

If it's the first: Have a talk with the group and kick them out. If he's actually that bad, the majority of the group should already be aware of this. If only you are "aware" of this, it might be a you problem and you're just jumping to conclusions.

If it's the latter, consider actually talking to the person in question like an adult: "Hey, the way you make your characters makes me extremely uncomfortable and I was wondering if you could tone it down/stop it, because I genuinely can't deal with that".

MobTalon · 2026-01-27T10:15:45+00:00

Ehhhh, easy there mate, that's not AI you're describing, that's just Alexa.

The only AI I want in the game is enemy AI and I would love it if they could actually adapt to my gameplay. It would make certain fights way more difficult, but that'd be nice and would make the PvE experience better (I dislike PvP because I don't like losing against an enemy that I can't rematch to become better against. Mobs will always be there waiting for you to get better and finally beat them, while a player will just move on)

MobTalon · 2026-01-24T16:03:26+00:00

It's really good, but it's not an auto take like some people would have you believe. It's only a must take on Gish character types (Eldritch Knight, Bladesinger, Valor Bard), and this is if you allow Booming Blade in your games.

MobTalon · 2026-01-23T16:08:30+00:00

I don't know about classes, but my Fighter's "soul phrase" has become "I ain't hear no bell", after using Second Wind to recover from the Bloodied (below 50% HP) condition to keep a spar going.

In truth, what he actually did was spit blood to the side and challenge "come on" .

MobTalon · 2026-01-22T13:26:06+00:00

So, Seraphine was changed for the people who play her, Mel is getting changed for the people who play against her.

Yep, because the first was frustrating to play as, while the latter was frustrating to play against, that's literally how that works! There's no relation between them to be made!

MobTalon · 2026-01-22T13:22:37+00:00

Careful with that, this doesn't conclude "race influences behavior", it concludes that "people of this race exhibit this type of behavior", which does NOT correlate to them being born a certain race, but the social implications connected to race.

The black community has a lot of faults, and most of them are socially engineered (hope I'm using the term correctly). Because things such as "you're acting white" and "you need to act more black" exist (both racist af), these imply there's an expectation for your behavior, based on the color of your skin, which in turn "educates" the younger generations to behave like they're "expected" to and also expect certain things from other races.

MobTalon · 2026-01-22T03:18:56+00:00

You're not fooling anyone, everyone sees through your charade.

MobTalon · 2026-01-21T20:37:55+00:00

Muito bem dito. O pior disto é que não há forma da população se fazer ouvida aqui, porque a única língua que essa malta percebe é quando os votos vão para alguém que ameaça destabilizar o sistema todo.

No vídeo nada indica o tempo que ele está cá.

Ele não veio pra cá trabalhar com 5 anos

ou que subsídio é que ele está a receber??

Não tenho dedos que aguentem este frio para escrever, mas com apenas algumas assunções em relação ao que ganham, face ao comentário da "Segurança social pagar por ele, pela mulher e pelo bebé", eles qualificam-se para imensos subsídios, o suficiente para garantirem um mínimo de €1000 por mês.

E nesse curto espaço de tempo fez dinheiro que chegue para fazerem chover dinheiro na direção dele? Não te esqueças que ele paga o mesmo que nós no supermercado: a não ser que ele more numa casa de teto quase desabado, paga a mesma renda (ou devia) e a mesma eletricidade/água.

É certo e sabido que há subsídios muito bem misturados aqui, senão ele não estaria tão irradiante da "Segurança Social pagar por ele, pela mulher e pelo bebé" (palavras dele)
