But the lamentations of women are one of the best things in life!
So, White Wolf has created a game called "Pimp: the Backhanding." Very obviously humor.


And then there's a giant hemispherical explosion in the forums.


Highlights: a discussion of legalized prostitution, someone suggesting that WW's next game should be "Plantation: the Slavening," a whole bunch of people suggesting that those freaking out need, you know, a grip, and someone named heartwoodwolf starting a thread called "I feel the need to cry." She wishes she could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles, and we could all eat it and be happy.

"Plantation: the Slavening" = me snorting an entire cookie, for some reason.


Ah, White Wolf. I used to play Vampire and Changeling (tabletop and the occasional LARP, none of this computerized shit) back in the day. Good times.

One of my friends is involved in this wank *facepalms* and she's really proud of it, too. OMG she is such a Feminist Warrior.

I just think people who want to do something for the Feminist Cause could find something more serious to devote their time to, but what do I know?

I am just surprised that WW shows so much humour, usually they just regurgitate a thesaurus with all possible variants of dark, bleak or dreary over their products, at least they used to when I still played vampire (back in the day when dinosaurs rules the world and assamites were still cursed).

Zach: "I know what satire is. That is not satire."

And I know which statement not only suggests that you have your panties in a twist, but also means that you just lost a debate. Congrats.

I love the.. 'It's not WhiteWolf! It's arthaus! Stop being hippocrites!' (What's a hippocrite? Some sort of hippo given to hypocracy?) And I love how some people thought the defense of the product was so great and OMG THE PRESIDENT!!! defending his game to the customers.. by.. saying it's not his company's, but their partners.. Eh. I'll bite my tongue, though I do think it's the dumbest idea ever. (But I got my WW wank out when they ended WOD and then.. brought it back. With, you know, a different, gothier name and tiny bits of it tweaked. WTF, mate?)

And you know, I think that, in Changeling, that's actually possible.

We have people on this forum objecting to the ideas of prostitution and brutality against women who play games where you're a monster.

Drinking blood from another human being, ripping apart your friends in a rage-induced tantrum and twisting the minds of your fellow man because you think they're wrong is okay, but prostitution and beating someone up isn't?


And don't forget' Freak Legion' the Formori handbook which allows you to play a twisted hatefilled, short lived mutant freak

*shrug*

I think the game in question is tasteless, sexist, and racist. Their constitutional right to say it, mine to not spend money on it.

So, I'm not buying it. I went and got a signed Diane DiMassa print instead.

Now, a Hothead Paisan CCG game would be fun...

Anecdotally, I played this game with my girlfriend, who's a vegetarian and animal rights activist and is generally sensitive to anything with a questionable moral or social theme. She beat me three games in a row, and was calling me "bitch" by the end of the second game. She's European, the word sounded funny with her accent.

This made the entire wank for me. I don't know why, but I just found it hilarious.

I like things which are intended to be humorously offensive.

Is it scary that I can see my mom and grandmother playing this with me, and beating me soundly?

The game is tasteless, but given that I have never played a computer or video game in my life I'm probably not in a position to say anything. Or really care, for that matter.

But part of me wants to know; What about the Madams? Don't they get their piece of the pie? I've never known a pimp, but I've known a Madam, is it so wrong of me to want fairness and equality in the sex industry?

White Wolf wank that's not bitching about Vampire? ...how? I mean, there's /so much/ to bitch about! Well, regarding Requiem, that is. Besides the allowance for obvious (compared to the previous clans, which says a good deal) twink characters, the inexplicable changes for the worse, and just the overall strangeness of changing such a fundamental aspect of Vampire as /the freakin masquerade ideal/... Pimps pale in comparison.

Come on, I thought the goths who played Vampire were supposed to get their panties in a twist, why are they arguing over the morality of pimps and hookers? They must not play in the same sessions as I do, because I know when my characters get hungry, well... that's what the hookers are for, right?

I especially liked the questioning of "What's next? Pedophilia:The Molesting?"

Because of course this is just the next step down the road to chaos, I tell ya! A stupid card game that would have been lucky to sell 100k units before all the free wanky publicity (now it'll break a million) is the sign of the ending times!

REPENT!!!

Wow, this brings me back to the days I used to LARP on the weekends! I get warm fuzzy images of players going all "rock paper sissors" and retesting just so they could slap the ho with the ring hand instead.

I wonder what it would have been like had this game been out when I played, and we had done what we always do, and integrate it? Would've made my Giovanni/Tory love affair a lot more fun. "Where's the money, bitch? All you had to do was suck off this guy('s blood) and get me that painting! *SLAP*

This makes me squeee.
