[QUOTE="Korgoth, post: 5276102, member: 49613"] I'm sad that Identity Politics didn't collapse with the rest of the Soviet Union back in like 1990. I game with people. People I agree with, and people I disagree with. People that have "innies" and people that have "outies". People who are white, and people who are black or native (one used to sometimes play the "I'm Mayan" card but she's alright). Theists and atheists. Ultra-rightists (Howdy! I'm Korgoth) and ultra-leftists (grrr...) and middle-of-the-roadists. Dopey-looking people (Howdy! I'm Korgoth) and hot-looking people. Smart people and... well OK we're all pretty smart. Point is, it doesn't matter. If you can game together and be friends then who cares what your flavor text says. At the gaming table we get to set all that stuff aside and have fun together. And art? Well I don't think we all agree on aesthetics, either. But as far as any women who are actually so fragile that they get emotionally disturbed by the depiction of a hawt chick in a chainmail bikini? I don't happen to game with any women who are that insecure, so it's not an issue. If someone for some reason brought out such a fantasy picture (hasn't ever happened that I recall... we've got gaming and BSing to do) then the gals I'm thinking of would generally respond with (1) saying yeah she's hot, (2) an amused snort, or (3) a counter-reference to beefcake. It hasn't even occurred to me to be surprised at them having a sense of humor or the power of rational thought. [color=red]Mod Edit: Ah, the old, "folks who don't agree with me are somehow mentally deficient or broken," argument. Aside from being rhetorically weak sauce, this is also dismissive and more than a tad insulting. Folks, I know some of you find this offensive, but please don't butt heads over it. Thanks. ~Umbran[/color] [/QUOTE]
