On Privilege

Antero Garcia, a very goofy-looking assistant professor at Stanford, wrote an article entitled Privilege, Power, and Dungeons & Dragons: How Systems Shape Racial and Gender Identities in Tabletop Role-Playing Games. I'd give you an overview of this important work, but the article is only available for $42.50, which buys 24-hour access. That's a pretty steep price-point for a fellow who is concerned about privilege.

You'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at the lame proposed boycott of GaryCon, given Bill Webb's prior attempt to buy Stacy Dellorfano's love.
