[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8265220, member: 6802378"] [SIZE=3]There is a difference between use a story to show satire or social report and using this as propaganda to promote your own predjudices. You can add a character as Jar Jar Binks, but you shouldn't say all gugans from Naboo are stupid jokers. You can use in your story a character as Fu-Manchu, but the good sense advice in your story you should show also some Asian characters in the side of the good guys, or at least with positive traits. Let's notice how now vistani has suffered some little changes to be more politically correct. Applying indiscriminately negative tropes to all the members of a group not only is offensive, but it may be so dangerous like other types of hate and intolerance. [/SIZE] How would you feel if anybody create a dread domain using a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drownings_at_Nantes']historical fact, the drowning at Nantes (mass executions by drowning for the French terror?[/URL]), with a dark lord based in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Baptiste_Carrier']Jean-Baptiste Carrier[/URL], but with a little change, the souls of these martyrs aren't a menace for the innocents but for the monsters and unholy creatures, or a temporal antidote for cursed people. The dark powers have tried to poison or taint the river because this has become a sanctuary for prigrimls. Sometimes the desecration attempts have been successful... but only temporalily. In the end the collective memory has been rewritten and now everybody thinks the rive is cursed and tainted, when really its waters could be the key to cure some dieases or supernatural curses. Here the thread is the fear for the punishment when this is right and neccesary and the suffering for the penance when this is mixed with the hope of salvation. * What happens with "Azalin's ascension"?
