Is there a definition of "struggle session" different than the one I'm googling about Maoist China?The way it is framed is definitely racist. And much of it reads like a struggle session to boot

Doesn't it mean "go ahead and block me, reading my posts will never improve your life"? Because that's what I do when someone uses it in earnest.Is there a definition of "struggle session" different than the one I'm googling about Maoist China?
Dude, that's just not the way I want to talk about a really fascinating roleplaying game. Please keep in mind that this thread is about a game by indigenous creators being released for pay-what-you-want on Indigenous People's Day, and what you are focusing on is one small section of the book that's asking people to play respectfully. You are bringing in pretty loaded language, comparing this guidance to public displays of humiliation and violence.That is what I was using as an analogy of a mindset. I was not saying this was identical to a Maoist struggle session but I think it is easy to see the link to the current idea you are invoking (especially since that idea you talk about doesn't exist in a vacuum and where it get used elsewhere in society presently is looking much closer to actual struggle sessions---minus the violence)

I'm always up for talking about history, culture, and roleplaying games, but please leave out loaded analogies. This single page is not marching you out into the street or threatening your livelihood or life. It's, quite simply, inappropriate to be comparing it to practices like that.

Most game designers do to some extent. After all, game rules are just a program for the first man-made computer - the human brain.
