Which is why you judge it on the context and don't make absurd slippery slope projections. I don't find it useful to argue about "how far you go" when I can only know when I hit the situation.
Yet slippery slopes are a real thing. Every heard that quote "First they came for...and I did nothing, then they came for..."?
This is the problem with censorship
of any kind, regardless of whether it is veiled as in the "private sphere." One thing easily leads to the next. If they censor people that you don't like, then that opens to censoring people you do like. Otherwise you end up in a death by small cuts situation or, to add yet another metaphor, the frog in slowly heating water.
It's a necessary but not sufficient solution. But you're mixed and being coy: what's the argument against a disclaimer? I want to know, because you have yet to actually give one.
That's because I'm not arguing against it! You could give me the benefit of the doubt, and take me on my word: I'm not being coy, I just haven't made up my mind or come to what I think is the best solution.
But one thing that comes to mind is the problem with deciding what gets a disclaimer and what doesn't. There might be some works that are blatantly problematic, but the vast majority--at least among D&D products--are varying shades of gray, and subject to interpretation and how much one reads into it.
I do think Orcs of Thar warrants a disclaimer - it is pretty blatant. But as you said, I think it is on a case-by-case basis, I just think it can get, um, rather slippery and depends a lot on the subjective determination of who is deciding and what their values are.
I'm not baiting you, you're saying it without saying it. I mean, how else does one take that statement?
I used a word and I probably should have used another because of association, but it is just a word that can be used in different contexts - not the phrase you used. Again, I merely meant
expressing a certain degree of outrage.
No, not really. Again, there's a difference in expression and justification, and you're just trying to remove all context to make it seem more even when it isn't. People being reactive because they think they are being called racist when they aren't isn't the same as people being offended by legitimately racist content.
That's not what I'm comparing. I'm comparing overall views, not teased out (cherry-picked) elements of those views.
I'm saying that the degree of emotional involvement and coloring of rationality by emotion isn't solely, or necessarily even mostly, weighted towards one side or the other. Or, at the least, that I've seen it on both "sides" (again, I dislike "sides" because it implies that there are only two sides, when one of my main arguments is that there are many gradations and variations of perspective).
What I hear you saying is that "your side" is rational and above emotion and the "other side" is not. That is obviously problematic.
