mbassoc2003 wrote in LotFP:New info on FFV....On the ZakS thing. Am I right in understanding ZakS was accused, then the whole US Cancel Culture machine kicked in with companies running to hide just in case people thought they were promoting such things (including RPGDriveThru and LotFP), and then at some point JERIII said, 'Enough is enough, I won't work with him but I'm not going to exclude him on Facebook so long as he behaves and doesn't talk about it." That effectively being the death knell for LotFP because he wouldn't back the Cancel Culture Vultures. Was there ever a case? Was there ever any evidence? Or was this just left wing millennial snowflakes doing what left wing snowflakes do. Acting like ar$eholes. I've dug and I cannot find any evidence that any of this is anything other than mass hysteria and slander (and an admission of guilt and a payment appear to have been made to ZakS for just that.) Anyways, seems LotFP did not understand that when children (under 25s who have not grown up yet) say to hate you must hate or lose your livelihood. He did not understand fascism. I'm sure he does now.It'll be interesting to see where JERIII resurfaces.

So companies were acting in their own best interests, lest they suffer at the hands of the mob too.By that same logic though, a policeman who is hung out to dry knew what he was getting into in an arrest scenario, and a shop owner knows what he's getting into when he sets up a business. They are all notches on the same wedge of the mob deciding who should be punished based on their own judgement without evidence. If we sit back and accept the thin end of the wedge, it only then needs to be pushed and we can all live happily ever after in a socialist utopia where the people know best.

I'm imagining hard copies, but I don't know what he's selling or if my memory is correct. I was able to join one of his games, so hopefully I'll remember to inquire if a booth was only a figment of my imagination.
