Part 9/12:
This incident is part of a broader pattern within tabletop gaming, which has seen increasing polarization. Conventions like Gen Con have reported incidents of violence, banings, and social media censorship issues, reflecting an increasingly politicized and divided scene. Some fans feel that the industry is becoming overly restrictive, accusing companies of "woke" overreach, while others call for stricter rules to protect marginalized groups from harassment and extremist infiltration.
