[QUOTE="Derren, post: 7756672, member: 2518"] You didnt annoy me, but talking about politics is forbidden on this board so any discussion of that need to happen through PMs. I'm just thinking that based on your post you are oversimplyfing the era of colonialization and its effects. But again, any detailed discussion needs to happen elsewhere. As British people they would have been allowed to caricaturize Britain, but not the other nations like the HRE, Spain, Italia, Poland/Russia (they kinda combined them) etc. I have yet to hear a large media backlash or twitter storm when D&D uses angels and demons, at least in this century. Same for other media (video games, comics, movies, anime etc.). Yes some fringe groups complained but no one really listened. Compared to that just look at threads here where someone dares to suggest to use native american mythology in their games or even goes so far as to publish them. It doesn't matter what you think about it (not a fan myself) but if the same standard would be applied it would be very bad cultural approbation. The one I have seen was in April btw. Japan managed to reach European levels of technology way before WW2 or even WW1. The Japanese-Russian war showed that. Why do you think Japan was able to challenge the US in the first place and easily conquer large parts of China? They managed to go from the renaissance to an industrial society in 50 years without being colonized. Quite an achievment. [/QUOTE]
