Exactly.At a certain point, can't OA be bad or frustrating without being racist?
Watching some of the discussions on other social media, YT etc. I see mostly the two poles of a.) the outrage crowd trying to ban it for being racist propaganda and b.) OSR grogs defending it as a great supplement that you should totally get and play right now.
When in my opinion, it is neither. There were, for the time, some neat ideas in there (like the proficiency system), which mostly had nothing to do per se with the setting, but it was a book cobbled together in a few months, built on nothing but enthusiasm for the subject manner and hastily devoured, insufficiently digested research - at least that's how it looks like to me. It should neither be put on a bonfire, nor on a pedestal, but simply be regarded as a stepping stone in the history of the hobby and a product of its time.
