[QUOTE="Anio, post: 2428695, member: 24200"] While I do not get easily offended, I also do not like juvenile titillation or gratuitous misogyny. I agree with Ralts, Wolvorine and PJMason - Year of the Zombie is a product aimed at a mature audience and does not promote violence to women, discrimination against women nor the denigration of women. As mentioned by others, Year of the Zombie is, in many ways throughout the product, as much a study of human nature as it is an RPG game supplement regarding zombies and post-apocalyptic scenarios. All situations described within the product must be taken in context because arbitrarily analysing any one aspect of the text without reference to the whole does not do the author or the publisher the justice that they deserve. As mentioned in my review here on ENWorld, the chapters in this product cover grim, terrifying and brutal “realities” of a post-apocalyptic world and are not for the easily offended or faint hearted. Slavery, rape and cannibalism are some of the topics that are handled maturely and in no way glorified or shrugged off by the author. They are simply a fact of the YotZ world. If these topics are likely to offend you, then I urge you not to buy it, but I also suggest that the author deserves more credit than considering his well thought out work as gratuitously offensive.
