        You didn’t explain what about Tencent was bad in any clear way, and you didn’t compre it to Hasbro, so you haven’t answered the question.

        And last time I saw Tencent brought up it was about their investment in Epic, and there were loads of comments about social credit and winnie the pooh. It’s not hard to notice the problem.

        Contrary to what a lot of racists would like you to believe, noticing racism is not the real racism. But do go off about how much I’m virtue signalling.

            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.

                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.

                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.

                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.

                    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.

      Who’s saying Tencent owning D&D is worse than Hasbro owning D&D?

      Hasbro has thoroughly fucked D&D over. My expectation is that Tencent will find different and novel ways to fuck D&D over. I doubt Tencent will be significantly better or worse for D&D than Hasbro. But then D&D (and WotC more generally) was mostly beyond redemption before news that Hasbro was trying to sell it off.

        The comment I replied to was asking that exact question, and I was pointing out that the only reason to think they are any different is probably rooted in racism, as a lot of the panic surrounding tencent has been in my experience.

          Joncash2’s comment? Please explain the 4-dimensional calculus by which you interpreted that comment to have said anything about Tencent being worse (for D&D or just in general) than Hasbro (or better, for that matter).

        Have you read the comments? Like, actually read them? For understanding? For tone?
