[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7869900, member: 7015476"] "Concerted effort" and "passive" are mutually exclusive. Also youve dodged the question and the hypothetical you yourself introduced having answered neither. This question is fairly straight forward. Is basically just pushing harder and harder and saying "suck it up" and patronizing people any time they mention a legitimate threat to the product like "marketing fatigue" completely disregarding it (which causes products to fail every day due to lack of dilligence) really good marketing sense? If not, what is the alternative course? That doesnt necessarily have to involve a stoppage of the message but just patronizing is not a good marketing sense answer. I see a backlash coming. I worry about it. I think not enough people worry about it. Pushing a message and all is fine. But it has to be tempered. Otherwise our hobby might go kaput if we over shoot. That's all im saying. Im bisexual and i understand the value of messaging, but i think we need to listen when people say they see signs of messaging fatigue. Its a sneaky killer of products. Something can be super popular and all of a sudden POOF popularity just sublimates over night. Id hate to see that happen to d&d over something of a tertiary goal like inclusivity. This isnt political. Make no mistake. Im talking business. [/QUOTE]
