So this is inspired by chuds getting their panties in a twist over a piece of art posted on D&D official twitter account for trans charity. As I sit deeply in World of Darkness currently, I thought how much more based V:tM fandom was even when they get mad - like that time one of V:tM books said very real genocide of gay people in Chechnya is a lie to cover Vampire operations, and V:tM fans got so mad at such blatant homophobia, the company publishing WoD, White Wolf, got dissolved and absorbed by its parent company, Paradox Interactive, only being restored this year with new people incharge. THAT’S how you do fan outrage.
V:tM fandom is considerably smaller than D&D, so it’s easier for caring voices to be heard because there’s less total jackasses, even though the proportion of decent person to jackass may be the same.
If 1/6 people are jackasses, and V:tM has 6000 fans, that’s only 1000 jackasses. If D&D has 60000, that’s 10000 jackasses, so a much higher chance their shitty opinions reach people due to absolute volume being higher even though the proportion is the same.
Please be proud, but understand it’s not because D&D fans are necessarily worse, there’s just so fucking much more of them.
