Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.
Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.
An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.
Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.

I always thought painting horny minis sounded weirdly relaxing (don’t ask my brain is weird). Is this a dunk on the idea of that or just the fact they’re sexualizing literal slavery?
I think it's possible to have artistic nudity that is classy or interesting, and it really requires good painting skill, but most is just blatant sexual nudity and objectification.
Yeah I’m not even going to remotely defend the weird random objectifying designs like this or woman with bikini armor number 267,000, but I imagine purposefully sexual sculptures have existed for ages because people are often just, y’know, horny. I guess I’m asking if the issue is sexual nudity and designs, or if the issue is their random inclusion and normalization as being the “average” of what minis of female characters look like?
Like I guess what I’m saying is that it doesn’t seem inherently problematic for people to make purposely sexual sculptures and paint them, but 1. I don’t want to come across as invalidating your complaints about tabletop gaming spaces, especially since 2. It’s treated as a “normalized”, sort of SFW-adjacent thing, when it should be tantamount to posting yiff on r/drawing
Tbf i don’t think it’s possible to find horny models without supporting shit like this so. Plus it would be awkward to have them around. Probably also a weird/objectifying desire/activity idk
Self crit achieved!!
