I don't want there to be any bad feelings, just want clarification on certain things you wrote that are not self evident. What exactly do you mean by codewords? What do you mean by red flags? I did not intend for anything I said to be interpreted as coded. My intent was to be clear and open with what I said. I framed my opinion as a question as I wasn't entirely certain that I had correctly interepreted what the person who posted about Australia was actually trying to say, as it seemed both superficially contradictory and morally 'high and mighty'. I made no mention of Social Justice Warrior either pejoratively or otherwise.In which way is 'virtue signalling' coded, insulting or dismissive, particularly in the context in which I used it in my post? The person who wrote the post I commented on both at once flippantly dismissed the books that WoTC has recently written as full of 'harmful stereotypes' and then offered what the poster seemed to consider as a more appropriate cultural gaming context: Australia - The comment about 'basically everyone wanted to get along' clearly showed they know nothing about the brutal history of Australia, making their earlier comment seem vacuous and hollow. Hence my response and what I thought was an accurate use of the term 'virtue signalling'.  For clarity's sake just in case I understand your 'red flags' correctly you had some mistaken idea about me, I am neither a racist nor a bigot. I have a deep appreciation for many other cultures. I have lived all over the world for extended periods of time (over 15 years), learned many different languages and embraced many different cultural view points, including non-western cultures. My own ethnic lineage is rich and varied and I have married into a similarly varied family. My children are bi-lingual and multicultural. I have friends of all races, creeds and religions.</blockquote>
