I will tolerate any treatment.
Like I listen to DnD podcasts sometimes, and I'll put up with anything.
I'll listen to some half-assed actual play-- You know, I don't wanna name an actual podcast so let's just make one up; let's call it "Dungeons and Daddies"
So I'll listen to an episode of âDungeons and Daddies" and I'll push play on the episode and Iâll go, "Can I have some more queer characters, please? Maybe trans Nick, or Oakson?"
And they go, "No! We donât trust ourselves not to do something problematic."
And I go, "Okaaay!"Â And then I wait for two weeks.
 And then I listen to another episode and I go, "Can I at least pretend that some of these blank slate characters are LGBTQ, like Erin OâNeill?"
And they go "Oh, actually, Erin is very into men and only men. Vince? Dennis? Darryl? All of âem, because we hate you. Now take this traumatized pre-teen, thereâs your goddamn representation, go fetch!"
And I go, "Okaaay!" and I listen to the Grant and Yeet conversation over and over.Â
And then I listen to some more episodes and I go, "Can I please have Henry and Darryl at least talk about whatever was going on between them in those early episodes with all the kissing and feelings of love?â and they go "NO!"
 And I go, "Okaaay!"
 And they go, "Youâre a toxic fan, aren't you?"
 And I go, "Nooo," and they go, "SAY IT!" and I go, âI'm a toxic fan."
And then I see a new dndads plot arc is starting, which is an oxymoron, and I go, "Can I please spend some time with Nick Close, because even if you wonât make him trans, I still like him a lot?" and they go "No! In fact, Nick Close doesnât exist anymore! Hereâs a completely new, awful character instead!âÂ
And I go, "Why are you doing this to me?!" And they go, "Because we're Dungeons and Daddies, and life is a fucking nightmare!"
But with my girlfriend, she would just be like, "Let's see what literally any other TTRPG creators are up to right now.â
 So it's better.
