TL;DR: Someone put out a product called "Tournament of Rapists". This followed on the heels of a good year+ of debate about the role companies in the RPG market should play when dealing with people like Zak Smith (see also controversy about Zak Smith as alleged rapist, largely recognized jerk, yet well-known author and credited for work with D&D 5E) and products like a GamerGate card game that also caused debate with DriveThru. This led to people yelling at DriveThru for selling this supplement, so DriveThru followed through with a new content policy, which led people to be angry because they were either not doing enough or doing too much (debates that should be familiar to the HN crowd). Regardless of position, the realization that DriveThru is an effective monopoly and neither players nor companies have much leverage somewhat sunk in, so alternatives (itch, indiepressrevolution) got some more attention. This has links to what should be decent summaries, though my work is blocking them so I can't confirm. https://michaelduxbury.com/2015/09/03/on-the-drivethrurpg-offensive-content-controversy/ https://michaelduxbury.com/2015/09/03/on-the-drivethrurpg-of...
