In light of Cards Against Humanity being in the news again, I vaguely remembered some stuff about co-founder Max Temkin (who no longer works at the company) being a dickbag. He was, at best, a shitty white douchebag who created a hostile work environment and at worst a possible rapist. The linked Polygon article goes into detail about the office environment and alleged rape (attendant content warnings apply).

It sounds like a great deal of effort was put into coddling Temkin's ego the way people were told not to bring up the rape allegation and to tread carefully regarding criticism despite supposedly valuing input from BIPOC staff. (And to nobody's surprise, the HR department in a small company founded by eight white guys was a fucking joke.)

To be clear, I have no idea what it's like to work there now or if/how CaH has cleaned up its act. I also have no idea if Temkin has actually reflected on this experience. But the "buy land to stop the wall" stunt absolutely stems from Temkin's time at the company and I think people should be aware of the gap between company culture and values.

if you want to truly be radicalized against the psychology/therapy industry and in particular how it's just another weapon for capitalism to use against workers, i recommend reading about the time that Cards Against Humanity had a black employee put in a mental institution for complaining about the company's racism. therapy is far from a neutral entity and much of the time, bigotry is endemic and an intrinsic part of the industry

Hey, why is nobody talking about this?

Article highlights:

(Note: For those who aren't aware of the story, CAH management later had this same guy committed to a mental institution after he spoke out against workplace racism. You seriously can't make this stuff up.)

(Note: This same employee later said in a twitter thread that she was also asked to stop dating somebody because Temkin's friend had a crush on them.)

Review - Secret Hitler

Guns down, eyes up. Trust no one, suspect everyone. Hope in your president and debate over your new chancellor. The fate of your nation, nay the world, is in the hands of us all in the Reichstag. Liberals must weed out the hidden fascists and at all costs prevent Hitler, whoever that this, becoming chancellor. Politics has never been more personal. This is Secret Hitler made by Breaking Games and published by Blackbox.

      Ever wanted to mix things up at the party or just want to break the ice by turning everyone against each other? Well, this is the game for you. Involving between five and ten players each being assigned a secret role either a Liberal or a Fascist, with one unlucky player also becoming Hitler.

     As the game’s name suggests Hitler must do their best to stay hidden working together with other Fascists to achieve a total of six Fascist policies into government while the Liberal side attempt to do the opposite with five liberal policies. Policies are chosen through the process of the president taking three random Policy cards from the deck, discarding of one and passing the remaining two to their chancellor who selects the final card that will be put into government. The president is a role that simply passes from one player to the next by order of clockwise seating, the chancellor, however, is selected by the president and voted by all using either their “Ja!” or “Nein!” cards. With the Fascists gaining policies they also gain bonus’ in the form of assassinations, where the president must choose a player to remove from the game.

     Simple in its concept however discovering who of your friends is now potentially one of the most dangerous men in Europe is harder than you think. Each game can last between thirty minutes to an hour, depending on how silvered the tongues of you and your friends are. Retail price going from £17-£40 depending on which edition you choose to get, with the rare wooden box edition being higher at times, all in my opinion, worth it. In addition to this, on their website secrethitler.com they do also give the option to download for free a printable version of the game. From personal experience, nothing better than having your seventy-eight-year-old grandmother jump with joy after assassinating your brother and defeating Hitler. A most wonderful game, simple yet superb, a definite must-buy game.

I like how I just now thought of a decent question for Pat and Max (that isn't related to Kingkiller) 3 hours after the number has been disconnected.

(Honestly though I probably wouldn't have been able to speak had I tried to call)

[cana--merula]

About Storytelling

Max: You know from the set-up, from the initial set-up of the series that Kvothe is alive. He's troubled but he's alive. So whenever he's in mortal peril it lets some of the air out of that tension because you know he makes it through. And it's an amazing feed of storytelling how much your pulse still races because you've given him this very specific fears of his hands being damaged, his very few prized possessions being taken from him...

Pat: And that's the conventional thought process. And honestly, you know, a lot of writer go into it, too. It's like you need to threaten somebody's life or else... But here is the thing and it's very sensible: it seems very reasonable, but if the only, if the best tension, came from fear of the protagonist's death nobody would ever read a book twice. [...] There are so many other ways. It's harder and one of the things I'm most proud of. It's easier to kill somebody and break your heart as the reader. But it's like I will break your heart because somebody's shirt got ruined. [...] What breaks your heart is that there is this boy, who wants nothing more than to get in the Archives for his whole life and he can't. It's like I will break your heart over a fucking library card.

Cards Against Humanity Creator Sends Copies Of 'Secret Hitler' Game To Every US Senator (VIDEO)

Cards Against Humanity Creator Sends Copies Of ‘Secret Hitler’ Game To Every US Senator (VIDEO)

Cards Against Humanity is a gaming phenomenon, and the game’s creators have been known to pull some pretty bizarre publicity stunts. One of those creators, Max Temkin, recently co-created a new board game called Secret Hitler, a hidden role game that models how fascism can take over a democracy. He and fellow Secret Hitlercreators, Max Boxleiter and Tommy Maranges, apparently learned a thing or…

Guys I can’t believe I forgot about the podcast. I’m gonna have to get on this.

[seangetfreaky]

This is disgusting

The majority of the owner-writers of Cards Against Humanity wanted to put the n-word into the game. After their one black staff member, Nicolas Carter, asked Max Temkin, founder of Cards Against Humanity about the reasons behind each person saying ‘yes’ to doing so, and how it happened, Temkin told the head writers to fire him.

CAH head staff escalated things by contacting Carter’s family, threatening ‘disciplinary action’ and to fire Carter, then a staff member helped get Carter wrongly institutionalized, where he faced heavy racism.

FUCK Cards Against Humanity

[ittybittytatertot]

The Cards Against Humanity writes basically sent their one Black writer to a mental institution for speaking out about the racism in their company and the white psychiatrist called him delusional for talking about racial issues. What the whole actual fuck.
