Hey now, let’s not reduce him to his being a self-proclaimed “biological determinist” on gender.
He also quoted/referenced racists for his stances. (E.g. “Nits make lice” from Chivington, who killed Cheyenne people indiscriminately, gygaxed as a justification for why its lawfully good to kill orc babies https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/dtpgim/gygax_on_lawful_good/ )
Huh. Well, “Women can play D&D just as well, they just don’t like it as much. I don’t know how it could be made to appeal to women such that they would” is, technically sexist.
But considering the huge amount of spewed garbage we see daily from people in power, this seems like . . . I mean, I was expecting something crass or really vicious or something.
Also TIL Lionel made pastel trains to appeal to girls. 🤷♂️
This is your periodic reminder that Gary Gygax was a sexist garbage fire of a man, even for the 1980s.
ha I went down the “did Gary Gygax play Neelix” path. No he’s just in the first frame of this meme.
Lol thank you. I recognized the name, but in context i also wondered if he was Neelix
That e doing a lotta work I don’t think you want it doingDamn you autocorrect! (For posterity, it said “sexiest”)
Stupid sexy Gygax

Except for that one
Link?
It’s not exactly a secret. The man was openly and proudly sexist until the day he died.
I’m sure you can figure it out.
Ok then.
