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.

MODERATORS
I am under the impression that various periods of WW had some strong influence by writers who were problematic - I think they had some neo nazis there but I can't remember why I believe this so I want to treat it lightly.
The main complaint I recall from WtA is that it devolved into a "fuzzy superheroes" feel because the antagonists were all just actual manifestations of literal evil, and it definitely has the most problematic content of the three core games if you look at the black horse stuff (don't). I never got a chance to play the nWoD version (forsaken, I think?) but it looked much better to me, so maybe check it out?
One of the people working on Werewolf was a pedophile and was eventually caught + convicted. He used werewolves as a metaphor for "uncontrollable urges," which is present in the game.
That's probably where you got nazi vibes.
I'm not familiar with this and am morbidly curious.
It's a spin off studio for their more offensive and unrated stuff
Forsaken is great, but I never played Apocalypse to compare them together. I came in during nWoD, but Forsaken 2nd edition is one of my favorite game designs and settings of any rpg.
