  • Anyone saying that DCC is not sci-fi is wrong. I’ll assume you haven’t read it. The ENTIRE STORY is about an Alien syndicate causing the apocalypse on Earth to force humans to play what is essentially a real life video game. It’s run by aliens, and hyper advanced AI. It’s full of real functional science portals. The fantasy elements of the book are artifice for the game. This is some pretty weird gatekeeping. I think people are getting sci-fi and hard sci-fi confused. Just chill out. There is no lack of Sci-Fi in this world, and if you haven’t read DCC you are doing yourself a disservice.

    My dad did this to me once when I was a kid. I was helping bring in the groceries and was carrying as much as I could (which was a lot, but obviously not more than I could handle) and my dad told me it was a “lazy man’s load” that pissed me off pretty badly. I was helping dickhead. I can’t remember almost anything from my childhood, but I’ll never forget that shitty comment.

    There are a lot of people doing obvious trolls. You can usually tell by looking at their other posting history if they are rage baiting or trolling. If I get a sense that a comment/post is sincere, I won’t touch it unless it’s a clear rule violation. Yes is it is subjective, but it’s also not fun to live in a world where trolls are aloud to do whatever they want. We already do IRL. Also we listen to appeals and if you feel you’ve had a sincere post/comment removed for trolling, reach out and we can talk about it.

    Also, for what it’s worth, I see a lot of reports for trolling that I don’t remove because I can tell they are either being sincere or the reporter is just in a pissing match with the poster. At the end of the day we aren’t here to silence those you disagree with if they otherwise aren’t breaking the rules.
