[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8032052, member: 5142"] Public attention drawn by mass media giant vs. public attention drawn to fringe hobby supplement book. But there have been a number of participants in these various threads that have said that OA has received ample criticism from Asian Americans for decades since its publication so it is not as if OA was without controversy. However, the demographics of the game were admittedly different back then though. We have people among minority and marginalized groups as consumers now. So I guess we say that 10 out of 10 Midwestern white guys did not find OA offensive back in the day. Hoorah, I guess. So mustaches can be drawn on the Mona Lisa? But I thought that OA was art that should be preserved for the sake of posterity? This is one reason among many why I'm not terribly convinced about the authenticity of people complaining about censorship because it's okay for WotC to self-censor themselves by rewriting the text. And there is virtually no outrage about preserving the "history of the game" or the "original text as written" when it comes to CoS and ToA. Silence. Crickets. Regardless of what you stated, I am asking your opinion about how the general trend regarding discussion has gone from largely denying any racism to adopting a discourse that attempts to relativize the racism. If that is truly the most compelling argument one can muster, then the Titanic is already sinking. So you don't think that the public impact of the producer has any impact on degree of public attention? Going back through the conversation from the point where you bring up Bram Stoker's Dracula (and posts before that), that does not appear to be the case as you were responding to [USER=7015698]@Undrave[/USER] (and [USER=177]@Umbran[/USER]) regarding accessibility and public entitlement to written works. So why are you shifting the goal posts now and framing this discussion about what is "better"? Um what? Up til now I've just been trying to get you to understand how the nature of public domain creates a critical difference between these two cases. [/QUOTE]
