The M-word (Misfits & Magic s01)

Like Jammer says: 'Chimeron on three, family on six, muggle on nine - just to fuck with'em.'
I think it's the first time I've heard of the introduction of a new, contextual slur in a D&D session. Is it the first? I wouldn't know - and I acknowledge that.
These clips are from the ninth season Dimension 20 which is called "Misfits and Magic" (check out the first episode here: • The Chosen Ones (Ep. 1... ). The rest is on droput.tv where you should subscribe to see the rest of the season and other series form Dimension 20. It is awesome.
People from this series:
- Game Master: Aabria Iyengar
- Dream: Erika Ishii
- Sam Black: Danielle Radford
- Whitney Jammer: Lou Wilson
- Evan Kelmp: Brennan Lee Mulligan

[@veryvivid]

3/5 of this season's cast being black really added such a fantastic layer to this campaign. Don't know if there would have been a storyline about reclaiming the word muggle without that lmao. I also love how even though it's a made up nonsense word with no negative meaning outside of this campaign, because of the extremely obvious analogy applied to it, Brennan is still the last one at the table to say it pffffffbbbf.....

[@geirawsm]

Yeah, it added a real other dynamic that one would expect.

[@XavierGobble]

Well that's the thing, it isn't just a nonsense word. In the Harry Potter universe it is basically a Slur. While death eaters/slytherin folks use it exclusively in a racist context, the rest of the magical world still uses muggle to look down upon the non magical world. I believe that's part of the reason they keep dunking on it during the campaign lmao

[@HerculesBallsInc]

Rowling herself has said that she derived the word 'muggle' from the word 'mug' as in 'a person who is easily fooled'.

[@mrjoe332]

Brennan is the type of guy that would unpromptly receive an N word pass from all of his black friends and still never use it

[@Umbral927]

You could say it was a Great Compromise 🤓

[@mayalewis2956]

"You can't say that word"! Jammer 📣"MUGGLE"

[@hotelmario510]

This entire campaign is just Aabria refusing to give up on bits no matter what. The word muggle is a slur? She will not let the players get away with saying it. The fact wizards don't even know what _nukes_ are? She will not let the players convince wizards that they know even basic things about the non-magical world. So much of the campaign's comedy comes from Aabria's stubbornness.

[@josephine4s]

I love how at his introduction, he didn’t exclude everyone or try to deceive them concerning the mysterious magical being. Unlike most YA characters who discover magic, he’s not entranced by the first glimpse into the fantasy world. Instead he says, “Hey, anyone see that big-ass bird over there?!”

[@smartymckids]

I'm just realizing that in this universe jk rowling either left the wizarding world, wrote a book about it, and chose to use the offensive word every time in the book

[@marinesinspace6253]

ill tell you what, fantasy slurs are solid. Clankers from star wars, split lips from Halo, and muggles from harry potter

[@eideanbotha8655]

I always thought the bad word was mudblood, (muggle-born being the prefered term). So why is the word "muggle" bad? Please someone enlighten me?

[@astroblurf2513]

The Harry Potter books took place in the 90’s. In the Misfits and Magic world, the DND campaign takes place in the world those books were based on and it happens in the modern day. So the idea is that the wizarding world is dealing with the Wizard supremacy ideology in a post-Voldemort world, but doing so in a more liberal idpol sort of way where it’s blanket bans on words rather than allowing muggle-borns to use the word. And you can see the principle accidentally calls them muggles instead of NAMPs because, despite enforcing the rule about the word, doesn’t actually give a shit about non magical people. It’s all a power play for her

[@eideanbotha8655]

@@astroblurf2513 Many thanks

[@rickuhlick9523]

[@harrisontaylor1974]

Why is “Muggle” so bad that it’s equal to…another word. I don’t know much of the dnd like story campaign arc(plz help).

[@HearthFlow]

Its based on a parodized Hogwarts style world with all its pureblood magocratic nonsenical bullshittery cranked up to like an 11, and since Muggle is the term for non-magical people which wizards see as lesser to them they just cranked up how discriminatory it sounds. Thats really all there is to it, its a funny joke and makes for a great running gag...

[@harrisontaylor1974]

So basically the Harry Potter version of the N word in a sense. Got it!

[@stevray98]

I'm so curious what Aabria's personal opinion of this whole debacle was, like as DM she had to play characters that were mostly against it with the logic that they are now wizards, but there's not many 1-to-1 analogies for suddenly not being a minority anymore so I wonder if her actual opinions differ, like if she was a player would she be yelling it next to Jammer cx

[@geirawsm]

I think she would scream it out loud together with Jammer for sure

[@nomukun1138]

With a hard L

[@earthhal0king]

I thought Mudblood was the offensive word lol

[@BonesCapone]

Nah, pretty sure that's like mixed race. It's rarer, cause "muggle-lovers" are rare, probably mostly due to totally different world views.

[@kintsugikame]

mudblood is a magical person born from one or more muggles, muggle is a straight up nonmagical person, and a squib is a person born from two wizarding parents but unable to do magic.

I haven't watched this season yet- is namp an acronym? Not A Magical Person?

It's been a while since I saw this season, but I guess you got it right.

@@geirawsm I wasn't saying the series isn't fun, it absolutely is. Brennan in particular is incredible, especially in the duel in Episode 4 Just everyone here seemed to think from the comments the word came from the series. Simply wanted to explain the origin, not trying to ruin any enjoyment

@@toreyzyre "everyone here seemed to think from the comments the word came from the series" I read through the comments and didn't get that impression.

[@ZeSgtSchultz]

If anything, these seemed pretty red pilled. They show time and time again that even though they're magical people now, they should be able to say the word. Its just a word. I'm sure theres no correlation to anything in the real world though.
