[QUOTE="J-H, post: 8029303, member: 7020951"] Here's a summary of how this is. [I]"We, who do not work for you, and who are probably not buying your products: 1) Demand that you stop making money by selling one of our products because we find it to be Diverse in the Wrong Way. 2) We, who demand this of you, will not provide funding or replacements to recoup your lost income. 3) Further, if you attempt to replace this product, we will inevitably find new offenses to decry in your replacement, and shall sic the Twitter mob on you in additional ways, potentially including attempting to destroy your (individual) ability to provide for your family's needs by destroying your job. 4) If you do not comply, you will be judged unWoke and guilty of BadThought."[/I] In this climate, it'd be ridiculous for a company to greenlight $250k or $500k on a new and improved OA, or a new book set in an expy of, say, Mughal India (3-4 religions, 40+ petty kingdoms, a recent partial conquest, multiple linguistic and ethnic groups, lots of lore, architecture, and art, and very much not "European pastiche). Who's going to spend the money when the Cancel Mob finds something to object to in the new materials (and they always will)? The ultimate result will be as [URL='https://babylonbee.com/news/activists-fight-racism-by-making-sure-pop-culture-depicts-only-white-people']America's top satire site has prophesied[/URL]. You can already see this by the deletion of the Native American in all forms from popular culture, up to and including Land O Lakes recently removing the Indian but keeping the land. There is no assumption of good faith on the part of the other side by the cancelers. They don't want to build anything on their own. Giving in is just paying the Danegeld. [/QUOTE]
