People in online games are just the worst. I constantly make the mistake of assuming that people in games are going to be as cool as some of the people on these forums. Man, am I ever wrong.
You should have seen the reaction when the guys I used to play league with found out I was trans. Ugh.
yeah, you can't really say enough for how better online games are with people you trust
every time I find an online game I like I basically spend months trumpeting it here on the boards for just this reason
Holy shit the local board game community here is creeeeeepy.
I thought like, "okay, arcades are mostly cool dudes, let's see if the board game community is alright."
I stepped in the store and the conversations at the table continued. Wife came in, everyone starts creepy staring and discussion starts getting quieter. I turned around and left, never to return.
I found boardgame meetup here that is full of eccentric weirdos but is a really friendly group and even the Aspergersy teenager who goes by the name "Raven" manages to not be creepy.
At least half the group is female which helps but I'm also the third-youngest member at age 27 which surely impacts things. Most of the core group is old-enough to have college-aged children.
Referring to somebody as aspergersy is not really nice.
Also yeah board gamers are awful. I just want to play some Eclipse! And I want to try Twilight Imperium! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

I have a friend who hits also sorts of stereotypes that would make a right winger explode. She's a lesbian, Buddhist, vegetarian, yoga-practicing, massage therapist.
And she's one of the most delightful people I know.

I am a lesbian trans person pseudo-pescetarian who wants to get a PhD and go into science.
Let's just say that the Republican party and I have issues.
I am a pansexual, feminist trans woman who believes in evolution, global warming, and abortion rights among other things, and although I plan to go into engineering, I still really love science, so I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be invited to the RNC any time soon.

shove it down someone's throat and then opening it, causing them to suffocate

I find most people of such persuasions most delightful

We don't have an arcade around here so I feel like I have to pull cool people into both of these (fight games and board games)

Larry, I had a dream last night that involved trying to find you as you traveled to different horse racing tracks around the area. I don't remember the details, but me and some other people had to chase you down to take you back somewhere to fix something.

Also I have a lady crush on Rachel Maddow.
was it like that scene at the end of Usual Suspects where he's putting together all the clues around the room
an enigma
I really like peach. I wish she wasn't such a waif. Stupid Miyamoto.
I disagree for entirely selfish reasons
Lotta cool lesbians out there though
NO
They should just make Peach realistic.

And then opening it
shove it down someone's throat and then opening it, causing them to suffocate
okay I'm on board
See I used to be like this, but then...

Your scenario was too elaborate, in my vision the opening umbrella just explodes outward through the victims neck, separating head from body
She gives fantastic massages.
Clearly we need a Super Smash Brothers game that's actually designed by the Mortal Kombat people.
