Toxic Masculinity in Dungeons & Dragons | Black Lodge Games Podcast

This week, Nick and Matt (two men with Adonis-like visages) diagnose a massive problem in the hobby: lack of toxic masculinity. The current culture of D&D 5e is progressing further and further into feminization and young men are being sold a poisonous world view about heroism and strength. These games are not therapy, they are fantasies about adventure, danger, heroism, and daring. We check in on @PlayYourRole who makes horrendously evil content that promotes young men abandoning their instincts about their role as men in the world. After discussing his completely villainous worldview, Matt and Nick check in on the #wotc product announcements to see the direction of New Product™ and whether you should consoom it. After wading through this horrific parade of weakness and poison, it's time for some glorious eye bleach, courtesy of classic Dungeons & Dragons artists, Jeff Easely and Clyde Caldwell.
