I kind of want to be the hunter in this scenario

I find the sentiment of "Any game I play turns into a queer game" frankly insulting. Like, okay, I understand it doesn't come from that kind of place: it is ultimately not borne of "I want to undermine the efforts of actual queer creators who are actually making textually queer games." The chain of cause and effect is usually just reversed: people don't flock to D&D, the most popular game on the market, out of a sense of a need to "queer it," they flock to it because it is the most popular game on the market and then decide that they need to queer it.

It is ultimately cope borne out of individualism, a sleight of hand where they hope that people will buy their framing of playing the world's most popular RPG as somehow revolutionary because they have the gay Midas touch to turn any game they touch queer.

And like don't get me wrong it is also hostile to actual game design: the idea that an individual can simply transform a game that doesn't interface with queerness in any meaningful way into a queer game simply by association kind of implicitly states that game designers actively working to insert themes of queerness and marginalization into their games are doing a bunch of work for nothing. Don't those idiots realize that you don't actually have to game design these things? You can just play D&D and it'll turn queer!

And ultimately there is very little I, an individual trans woman writing words on a blog, can do to get people to stop playing D&D. Goodness knows I've tried, but sadly the mind control doesn't seem to be working. But I would like us to practice some intellectual honesty: I would like people to consider for a moment whether D&D, the game of some dragons in some dungeons, actually has anything meaningful to say about the queer experience or whether you just projected that meaning onto it, and that it might be actually better to elevate games made by queer and marginalized people than try to delude ourselves into thinking that the game made by a huge capitalist corporation "belongs" to the queer and marginalized folks now.

Imagine if you worked at Lumon and the company went under and you got access to info about your job and you were like "finally I can see what sort of top secret work I was doing that I needed brain surgery to protect" and it turned out your entire job was being a parade drummer for stupid office celebrations

I don't think Lumon is very good with money. Just, the whole thing. They're out here hiring artists to speedpaint new creepy murals and employing bands for one-off celebratory numbers, and the fiasco at the end of season 1 that they've been dealing with ever since could've been avoided if they'd hired two (2) severed floor security guards.
