We are joined by a couple of friends to speak up on the CGE and Devir Games issues in their latest games. These are not "just games." They are harmful to board gamers; people. We do extend human kindness in understanding that mistakes happen. youtu.be/24D3-FsBYN4

"It's just a game" is a hackenyed excuse for bigotry. Board gaming has and always will be about the people who play them. We are a microcosm of the larger world. If we can't get it right in a smaller section, how can we possibly do better on a larger scale. Empathy is an evolution we need to use.

Thank you for watching and for engaging with my videos! Science is absolutely on the side of trans rights. I have stated that in previous videos and well, more crap was thrown at me lol I appreciate you for mentioning that in the comments as it is an important note to make

Yes they made this statement after I had recorded my video. I'm going to wait and see what happens and then probably make a follow up video. I question the sincerity as well but we shall see!

Deciding what womanhood means to you is perhaps the most feminist thing you can do. JK Rowling has lost this sense of autonomy in her own gender unfortunately. Don't let society determine how you ought to behave in your gender. Be who you are 🏳️‍⚧️
