I hope this vile man never gets close to the comics ever again. 

Like seriously though, vile isn’t the word.  :/ yikes.

…am I just ignorant, or does it feel more awful that he changed the traditional phrase to ‘fuck ‘em in the dark’ instead of ‘shoot them in the dark’?

#i’m not trying to discourse or anything it just stood out to me as a weird choice #like is this the new way people say that phrase now it’s as old as i am #probably just being stupid it just made my rape-joke-alarm-bell go off #because I have seen some sketchy behaviour towards women #so am assuming the worst idk

No, that is not a popular phrase that I’m aware of at all. 

That’s … that’s a rape joke. That’s the man who wrote the CR comic making a rape joke and “comedically” encouraging violence towards people who disliked the recent event in Critical Role. 

If you’ve ever watched any of this YouTube series (Running the Game), you’d know that Matt Colville has always been very sensitive about his players. I’m not excusing that if it was a rape joke, really, but he’s always cautioned people on content being appropriate and friendly for everyone at the table. If anyone is uncomfortable, the game isn’t fun anymore.

He is however a proponent of strategy. Colvile tends to run his campaigns more like war games from my understanding, so of course he’s super into letting PCs die. To him, it’s a failure to plan, and that needs consequences. Not to mention that I think this is a negative response to people going after Matt Mercer, who he would defend to the death I think.

That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Colville is a great advocate in his videos for all these sensitive issues, and then turns around and is the opposite of sensitive when someone criticizes his questionable characterization of female characters.

Defending Matt against the hatred is one thing. Taking into account how genuinely upset pretty much the entire fanbase is and the many heartfelt, soul-baring posts and comments made by Taliesin, Matt, Ashly, Brian, and Liam since and then calling for even more PC death to make everyone even more upset is… Let’s say, in poor taste.

Changing a popular phrase until it calls for rape, no matte in what sort of context, is also kind of always in poor taste.
