It's absolutely beautiful that he's coming all the way out on his closeted white supremacy. By next year he'll have earned his white hood.

Ignoring nazis seems like a fine strategy when they end up on the presidents nightly viewing

Yup. The follow up shows what he really wanted, just another way to extend his 15 minutes by playing the victim.

Positive aspects of the KKK
Cons: They've killed minorities
Pros: Cool class names
Dude has to be trolling and in that regard, millenial racists were a mistake.

benevolent sexism
There's nothing wrong with the joke (I've heard it a million times before) but complaining that the KKK is a moralized issue is pretty dumb.

Calling yourself a "Grand Wizard" is actually the lamest thing ever.

You can be cool without being a racist asshole.
You want cool names, just go look up Magic: the Gathering cards.

If you make the actual KKK the only place where you can acknowledge the coolness of D&D terms, then you'll just push people into the KKK.
Like.... what....
That too. It's so fucking dorky.
Or just go LARPing. Then you can get to play out being a wizard all you want, without the need to hate minorities too.

I'm not saying "ignore Nazis". I'm saying "Ignore this guy".

I don't know. I mean when I hear "Grand Wizard" I don't see a terrifying robed figure standing before a flaming cross, I see a basement-dwelling manchild trying desperately to roll a 20 so that he might successfully commit hate crimes.

Man, isn't it cool how the KKK uses INCREDIBLY CREATIVE AND INVENTIVE NAMES like "Grand Wizard"?
I mean, wow, that's just the most magical and creative name I've ever heard. Seriously, that's top-line worldbuilding right there. I've never ever seen a read a book with more interesting names ever.

I heard a stand up comic do this bit last week.

He lacks basic social skills. That's why being a bigot or bigot defender is easy when you are a loser.
Also those names sound like something you would use for Runescape when you were 11, and then post it in a username regret thread.

It was all about white inclusiveness!
*weeks later...*
*Heavily leans into thinly veiled racist opinions*
B-b-but!
Why are idiots exclusively rising to prominence nowadays?
That's exactly how that thread read to me

They sound like names children made up for their D&D game.
Joe Rogan having this twerp on was my last straw with that show.

I, unforntunately, cannot count on my fingers and toes how many cosplayers I've seen fall into this trap. "Helsing though! The bad guys are sooo hot and their uniforms are soooo sweet, I'm gonna be just like them!"
The badguys in Helsing are nazis. Often undead. Zombie Nazis.
They do sound like out of a D&D monster manual, but i think it's more the other way around, the fact that the KKK adopted those titles makes them less cool.
Next time your DM tells you your character is being attacked by an "Exalted Cyclops" your enjoyment will be decreased knowing that's a KKK title.

I distinctly rmember my arguments with people over this clown
They were standing by his bullshit free speech "stifling conservatism" talking points while I was trying to point out the dog whistles and disingenuity
Fuck this altright prick
