[QUOTE="Consonant Dude, post: 5949159, member: 6688791"] That we do! I wouldn't say I felt dismissed. I have to tell you, this feels very different from talking about what kind of spell system should be used in 5th edition, or whether Shadowrun's setting is more interesting than Transhuman Space. If you and I were to argue about DnD combat. You tell me it should use a d20, I tell you it should use a reading of chicken bones thrown randomly on a plate... it's not really a big deal. It doesn't even matter what you think of me after the discussion. And if you misunderstood, there's no harm. Here it feels... a lot more significant. This issue transcends gaming. Discrimination and hatred hurts people. I feel like I'm walking on a tightrope because with every post, I am under the impression I may be misjudged for a person I am not. It's a massive subject. With each post in this thread, we can go in different directions. We've touched on racism, sexism, violence, sexualization, objectification and even whether discrimination against white men really exists. You could write a thesis on any of these subjects and still not reach consensus on any one of these subjects. At least one person has said on this thread she felt less welcome in the hobby after reading it. That's sad. Because of all this, I'm probably a little more edgy than I should be. Sorry if I'm a little defensive. I'm gonna stop with the assumptions. [/QUOTE]
