[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 8947007, member: 907"] Is content portraying evil acts acceptable? Yes, certainly. Is doing so a good idea? That's a much harder question. Of course, the obvious question is about slavery. That's an issue that's extremely sensitive for a lot of people, particularly in the US (here in Sweden we didn't have large-scale slavery on the domestic level – not because of any ethical superiority or anything like that, we tried having a slave colony but it turned out we weren't any good at it). And if you want to appeal to this demographic, you should probably stay away from slavery. A smaller company than Wizards/Hasbro can of course get away with products appealing to a more narrow audience. Still, it's a bit of a minefield. Putting too much emphasis on the topic runs the risk of attracting the kind of people who think the Imperium of Man in Warhammer 40K are the Good Guys. [/QUOTE]
