Once again, you are misrepresent my argument in poor faith. Either we can have a discussion in which we refute each other's points, or we can agree to disagree, but I see no need for crass mockery of this sort.
No, this is an entirely fair point. You yourself admitted to including instances of rape in your adventures. How does this:
A: Square with you now consistently referring to it as a "children's game"
also
B: Please explain why the existence of LGBTQ people is inappropriate for children
Art is extraordinarily poor medium of exchanging viewpoints.
This is frankly the most ridiculous thing I've read in this thread so far, and that's saying something. Art basically exists
for the explicit purpose of exchanging viewpoints. Yes, there are things lost in translation, and in personal interpretation, but that's also part of the beauty of art.
If you're producing something that could be considered "art", I'd consider it a prerequisite that you
actually say something with it. Otherwise, it is at best something that is aesthetically pleasing or otherwise moderately enjoyable but ultimately meaningless. Empty pop cultural calories. Fortunately, this is also
completely impossible, it's just far too easy to identify works of art or storytelling that closely align with the predominant viewpoint as "lacking a viewpoint". Because the predominant viewpoint is viewed as "neutral" or "normal". Which is very much a false narrative. See also:
Gay and lesbian people exist. This is a fact. *Not* having them represented is misleading. It is a propaganda that they do not exist. You can't conclude that not including them is the neutral default and including them is propaganda! ]
Now, I don't know that I'd go so far as to call D&D or modules art. I would call them (especially modules) an act of storytelling, which is explicitly the sharing of a viewpoint.
You still gotta add them for the right reasons...
Adding them to official campaigns just to add them in isn't adding them for the right reasons
Says you, but I again point to the above quote. Erasing LGBTQ people from history, narratives, films, stories, games do not reflect and have never reflected reality. This erasure, purposeful or otherwise, had the effect of further isolating an already marginalized community. Inclusivity (which really boils down to reaffirming that certain groups of people exist and therefore deserve representation, and thus including their representation in works of art and popular culture) has had an extremely positive effect on these communities, which have been demanding representation and have shown a great deal of appreciation for what representation they have been receiving.
You claim to hold a moral authority and that you know what would make "both sides happy' but even in this thread that does not seem to reflect any kind of reality. You clearly do not have the authority to speak for what the LBGTQ community would prefer in this instance, and I would strongly encourage you to refrain from claiming it in the future, because you clearly don't understand or care about that community's preferences.
In practice, the only people who are vociferously against inclusivity and diverse representations are those who do not want to see those groups represented or normalized, or who otherwise see it as a threat to their own privileged position as sole owners of the "default" or "normal".
