Hasbro Seeks to Sell IP “DND” and Has Had Preliminary Contact with Tencent - programming.dev

Everything about that is absolute cancer.

Everyone’s favorite TTRPG going world stage corporate. Fucking yay…

How is that different than now? DnD fell apart because Hasbro is a world stage corporation, they’re just trading it to another world stage corporation which will kill it further until they pass it on too.

Whatever you remember liking is long long dead.

But now it’s being bought by a global corporation that’s run by non-white people, and that’s scarier for reasons that I refuse to interrogate further.
Delete this.
I genuinely can’t decide if this is being downvoted by people who think I’m being sincere, people who don’t like their racism being called out, people who think I’m defending a global corporation, or people who think I’m a tankie. Maybe it’s a mix of all four.

What reasonable person could read your post as anything but sincere racism? An “/s” goes a long way.

(Though I’m not sure in this case that would have been enough to keep you from getting downvotes. Would have made your post sound like you thought everyone who thought Tencent owning D&D was a bad thing thought so for racist reasons.)

And you misused the word “interrogate.”

A reasonable person might read the phrase “for reasons I refuse to interrogate further” and realise that’s far too self-aware for an openly racist person to say.

But you apparently noticed that I said “interrogate” and you think I… used it wrong? I am genuinely curious what you think that word means in the context of that phrase, and what you think the phrase itself means.
