[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8529069, member: 7032025"] I only have access to the online one, and I have given you the definitions. None of these are degrading, insulting or offensive, in particular exotic (which is actually quite flattering), and as for "savage" even the offensive one only refers to people, not places, and is considered old-fashioned. I would not call someone a primitive, but saying that a culture is primitive is I believe absolutely acceptable, and is the best (and maybe the only way) to describe it quickly and properly, everyone will understand what you mean. And if you are speaking of lizardfolk, what exactly would be the problem ? We shall see... While I absolutely empathize with the first people (probably more than you know, actually, and I honestly find the hypocrisy in that article almost as bad as the apologies to the aboriginal people that I had to endure as part of all the official functions that I attended while living in Australia - If you really feel about something, DO something, rather than just tailor your speech to avoid the issues), I'm sorry, but there are things happening in the world TODAY that are infinitely worse to the situation of the first people today. But this is not the subject of these forums, native americans are not the subject, I'm talking about fantasy cultures. Perfect. These are good words, useful in describing what I need for [U]fantasy cultures[/U] that have no reference to actual earth societies, and I see no reason to stop using them. And that's really the problem to me. Everyone prefers dodging the issue by appearing politically correct rather than addressing the issues. To be honest, I find it really sad that publishers in the US have to get crucified for this and change perfectly good and descriptive text. I'd much rather have them spend time creating new supplements than changing existing ones because some people think (without proof) that it might be offensive to others (not even themselves).
