[Discussion] The Escapist, volume 2

Scope of discussion:

The scope is a place to discuss The Wscapist (Volume 2) as resurrected by Russ Pitts. The articles, the videos, the authors, editorial direction, etc.

Have at Er.

(Note that rehashing GG is not in the scope of this thread. GG was, is, and shall always be a horrible dumpster fire. )

So, Russ Pitts published a thing that blew up his face.

How Do We Finally Talk About Ethics?

As the chance that any further discussion of anything relating to The Escapist will not go pear-shaped is zero, the Everything Else thread was closed and discussion has been moved here.

Let's talk about the most recent incarnation of The Escapist, here, in D&D, where the discussion belongs.

When your words are only positively received by pro Gators and “both sides” types then it’s not surprising to become warped.

At this point Russ' initial intentions don't matter as far as I'm concerned. He continually provides a veneer of legitimacy to a hateful harassment campaign. His self-imposed time away from twitter and games writing should be extended indefinitely.
