[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8278846, member: 15700"] Seems like you don't know what an analogy is. I've explained why I used it, to illustrate why what you said was problematic because you seemed shocked/surprised that anyone would find it as such. Again, I'm not comparing the suffering of grognards with women in real life. You seem hung up on that to where you can't see the analogy I was making, that being celebrating a group of people becoming more and more of a minority of group X as a good thing. [I]You [/I]brought up age with the "older players" term, not me, hence my reference to ageism. The fact that an impacted member of a group you denigrated is trying to explain to you why what you said is problematic is coming across to you as "beating you with a cudgel" is problematic in a whole new way, but I have a feeling that conversation won't go anywhere productive, so there's not point. Last I checked, you (or any of us) don't get to tell people of a certain group that what we said about them is or isn't actually offensive or not. All I did was point out how there are a lot of reasons to celebrate the demographics of D&D players becoming more diverse, so focusing on one older group of gamers being more and more outnumbered as your top one (the only one you felt needed mentioning) is a bit odd at least, and explained why when you acted surprised. I've said my explanation. You either accept it, or you don't. But either way, I won't repeat myself and derail this topic any further. [/QUOTE]
