I don't like being dragged into this.
Trying to get at my husband by aiming at me and something I did in the past. Without even having the politeness of mentioning me via an @
So, if I understand this correctly, because you, Ripper, took my avatar at the old RPGWatch site, as a sexist joke, my husband is now no longer allowed, in your view, to disapprove sexist jokes without getting thrown 'double standards' at him.
FYI, 'chicks rule' was never meant as a joke:
When I first made an entrance at the former RPGWatch site, it was to thank people for donating money, after Myrthos and I payed for it for quite some time. People donated generously and I, like, Myrthos wanted to express my gratitude.
Since nobody knew me, I thought it would be nice to choose an avatar that showed people I was not just anybody, pretending to be the site owner's wife as some sort of joke, but someone who really had an important say in site's matters.
'Chicks rule' made that pretty clear.
I could not find an image with 'wife decides', or something like that in the singular form in the time I was busy managing my profile but I was sure people would get the message of Myrthos not having exclusive power.
I assure you if I felt strongly about something related to that site my voice was not ignored. I was siteowner, legally. We both were.
And like in any good, healthy marriage, when one of the two involved opposes something strongly it does not happen. At least that is what happens in our marriage.
The avatar was more of a wink to Myrthos than a joke, let alone a sexist joke.
Btw, when siteownership was moved to
@Taluntain I changed my avatar. Like Myrthos I now have no say in this site.
Like in any normal marriage my husband and I do not have to agree on everything nor do everything in the same way.
But we do agree on the posts above. And we have two beautiful daughters, young women, that would not accept sexist jokes likes those. Who would speak up. Perhaps the lack of opposing voices here, the silence, besides the one of my husband, is telling.
In over 15 years of the site's existence there have been sexist jokes unfortunately. Some unnoticed by Myrthos or moderators. Sometimes Myrthos did see it and moderated it or made a remark showing his disapproval.
I can not remember ever being mentioned in that regard before.
In all these years you have rarely seen me, and one of the reasons was I did not want people to start complaining to me about Myrthos' behaviour.
Now that the reigns have been given to someone else: look what happens! Someone called Ripper is starting to complain to one spouse because the other did something (and did not act). Something that this Ripper took as a joke (no it was serious). To be more specific something that Ripper took as a sexist joke (no there was just an s too many).
It is hard not to see me challinging authority, Myrthos' authority, by using that avatar - who on earth would take that wink, a wink with a serious undertone, aimed at Myrthos, for a general joke related to all men and all women?
Imo only a person that considers it beneficial dragging it in to the discussion, dragging it, that avatar not seen for quite some time.
Last time I used it was autumn 2021, 'pointing' Myrthos to the 'junk' still laying around that might be welcomed by some members. 'Chick rules' still applied.
I did not engange in any discussions in the past (I made seven post there?) and I have no desire to start posting now.
Leave me out of it.
