Wizards of the Coast is hiring a 'Director of Strategic Response Communications.
"Hi, we need someone to explain to our customers why it's a good thing we're sending the Pinkertons to come visit."
Because the OGL debacle what, 3-4 months ago wasn't enough.
Apparently it pays well, starts $150k-$250k... probably to fill that gaping wound in the soul of the person who does this job.

Content warnings are great. They help certain people avoid content that may be disturbing.
But it’s not so great when it’s being used to harass someone who is marginalized for speaking their voice.
If you wonder why a lot of #TTRPG players use our games as #escapism...
... I mean, just look the fuck around.
If you wonder why a lot of trans and queer people use #TTRPGs to have a place to safely be who they want to be...
... no, really, just look the fuck around.
If you wonder why anyone -- ANYONE -- would rather be in a space that brings them joy, comfort and safety, instead of interacting with the "real world..."
... well, y'know.
I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.
The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.
If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.
The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.
