[QUOTE="LesserThan, post: 9310018, member: 7045327"] I hope I am quoting correctly. Not sure about all policies about cripping, only been reading this place since Eric created it and just now had something I wished to say. If some people are allowed to get away from persecution, then why are all not? There was some thing you said a few posts above that made me think of this, but this one really gave me reason to speak. in the 1970s, nerds were persecuted for playing a non-game. There were movies about Nerds being persecuted, 5 I think. So is representation efforts an attempt to prevent persecution or to make more persecution? How can people get away from it in their "pretend play time", when representation efforts force that persecution? I am not sure what teifling has to do with LGBT, but am I just a wheelchair or a human? Why am I treated like an object now in games? Because I got old and injured? I am no longer allowed to "pretend play time" that I can walk? Is comilness about representation? A teifling is a demon is it not? Why would LGBT literally demonize themselves? Demons in most literature are hated beings. Exterminators of human-kind. Maybe I fail to see the connection with the teiflings other than, "Hey let me play an anime character", but it seems representation is abusing those it seeks to represent, from wheelchairs to "fat" as has been mentioned earlier. Why, in a fictional game must 9ur imaginations force simulation instead 9f fantasy? Are you saying that since I am in a wheelchair, I am not allowed to play Conan, as your other post mentioned, and I must and may only play bound to a wheelchair? That seems a very insulting and denegrating mindset if that is what you are implying with the quoted and your previous Conan post. Nobody should have that power, not you, not Hasbro, not Piazo, not Chasium, not Palladium, not FASA, etc; to exact that much power over other people's "pretend play time". This "push" in the industry seems to not understand what effect it is having to the hobby, and making people feel "lesser than", pun intended, human. Who at your table persecutes you personally when you play a teifling? Thanks for reading and answering. [/QUOTE]
