When I look for new players. Usually on reddit as that is a large audience location for LFG (looking for group) I post an ad. I get tons of replies.

First I look at their other posts and replies and most are usually trans or furries or supporting of such. (Education system these days encourages this). Everyone can be around people they like but I dont like this. But I don’t say anything to them.

After I find a dozen people that I feel don’t have blatant things I don’t agree with I have some open fun conversation with them by voice.

Seeing how and what they say about the game. Any thing they don’t like or really do like that I should be aware of? Anything they want to ask me? (I never bring up sensitive topics but listen to them. I never share my beliefs or try to change them. I just tell them I will let them know soon.)

And then I pick the player or players who seem the best for my table. (I just want to have fun playing dnd). I tell the others “sorry but I picked someone but I know you will find a game soon”. All happy conversations. But I don’t need a rule book on this. I wished Elon would buy Wizards of the Coast from Hasbro. He would get rid of bullshit like rules on supporting LGBTQ++ furries, etc., that and pictures of players in wheelchairs and other new age social bullshit. He recently got pissed off at Hasbro for criticism they gave Gary Gygax the inventor of what we know as DND.
