[QUOTE="Lychee of the Exch., post: 7438360, member: 6915900"] Generally true. Agreed. Untrue. Any sufficiently affirmative citizen, as a part of society, shapes the consensus - or lack of ? - of that society. Society changing is the people in society changing. To elaborate: I don't subscribe to the view (not saying it's your view, Imaculata) that society changes because of an exogenous element - perhaps called "progress" - that makes it change. To be clear: if a sufficient number of persons reject "gender identity", in the rpg medium or in society at large, as a valid concept, then this concept will not be prevalent. Perhaps it seems to you that this concept is already prevalent in the USA, but I would then advise you to distinguish between the entertainment industry and the mass media and the society as a whole. Discussion and the assertion of one's own point of view (what I'm trying to do here) is a better way to attain (or to strive to) consensus between citizens than stealthy (or not so-stealthy) injections of one's political and social leaning into various artistic medium (e.g. RPGs), such injections being presented as "It's just the way it is.", or "It's just the way it will be - soon !" or "It's the one and only good way it should be."
