    and you didn’t compre it to Hasbro

    Seriously, I’ve asked why they’re worse than Hasbro several times now and nobody is addressing it. Answer the question please.

      nobody is addressing it.

      That’s because nobody is saying Tencent will be specifically worse for D&D than Hasbro has been.

        The person I replied to brought up the comparison by asking how it’s any different, and I was responding to that. People are acting like that context doesn’t exist.

      I answered the issue. People are mad that its getting sold to another horrible corporation who will 100% sit on the property for years and has zero chance of doing anything good with it. This is flat out saying ‘D&D’ has no chance of going up from here. This is a big nail in the coffin. I don’t know how to explain it simpler then that, and the fact that you glossed over me explaining why people are against this shows you don’t really want to discuss the subject you just want to keep crying racism because you have a massive hardon for this company and you must defend their honor at all costs.

      Seriously…why are you so defensive of this company? Do you have stock in the company or something? I really don’t think its you desperately trying to prove you aren’t racist like i did in the beginning…but there is something weird about this my man. You just…really really really want this company to be good in our eyes. You want so hard to prove that naysayers are only racist.

        You literally didn’t answer the question. The person I was replying to asked how this acquisition is any different to Hasbro, since they’re both evil corporations. If you don’t talk about “Hasbro” in your reply then you haven’t answered the question. It’s pretty straightforward.

        you have a massive hardon for this company and you must defend their honor at all costs.

        My favourite genre of bullshit is inventing fantasies about what the other person said and then berating them for it. Literally find a single good thing I’ve ever said about the company. I’ll wait.

          Jesus christ my man. Ok, i haven’t spelled it out exactly, haven’t used this exact set of words but i guess it needs to be said. Its not that they are worse. Its that this sale means years and years more of horrible shit, when a sale COULD have meant it going to someone good. I have been saying that over and over very clearly. I just didn’t use the words hasbro when saying that so i guess the way you scan a sentence didn’t pick up on that? Would you like me to explain that a fourth time?

          And no…you have not said a anything good but for half a day now you have been insisting the only reason people don’t like them is racism. That implies that they must be good. You have to understand that right? If they are only hated because of race? That means there is no real problem with them in your eyes?

            Its not that they are worse.

            Then you could have just said that. You didn’t.

            a sale COULD have meant it going to someone good

            To whom? Please name an entity that you believe would be able to buy an ascendant property like D&D that isn’t an evil megacorporation.

              Holy fuck it’s been 3 days dude fucking drop this. I’ve explained so much why I think this isn’t about race and you just won’t shut the fuck up.

                Lol, if I had to guess I’d say you just saw a downvote pileon and thought, “well this person is obviously wrong, I can get some easy jabs in while they’re down”. You didn’t expect me to have something reasonable to say and now you can’t take the L.

                That’s what happens when you can’t be bothered to pay attention to what people are actually saying.

                  3 day ive been on your mind man. 3 days. this is just…so pathetically sad. Move on. I’ll help. You are right. It’s all racism. You, and you alone, are the shining beacon of racial tolerance in a sea of horrid savages.

                  Now, please, move on. I honestly completely forget you exist until you keep popping back into my life to scream racism but…its time for you to move on with your life.

                    I’m okay, thanks. If you want this to stop you can just stop replying, but that would require you to not get the last word in, wouldn’t it?

                    If you’re still mystified about why it took me three whole days omg to reply, I hadn’t looked at my inbox in that time.

                    It’s fascinating how other people have whole entire lives and internal worlds isn’t it?
