[QUOTE="dragoner, post: 8583393, member: 6943731"] To be honest, I am the kind of person who punches nazis, such as at thunder bay, a berkeley ca dance club on industrial dance night, someone who I vaguely knew, confessed to me they were a nazi and I laid them out, caused a mini riot between mine and another crew. Granted this was the early 90's, and about Barker or Gygax, I have nothing good to say, except they were a product of their times, but death has evened the score, so I don't care anymore. It's the other people, people around now that knew. I am a game designer too, and sure, I guess my left politics are on display in my setting, and whether or not someone thinks it is "woke space" or not, I don't care; mostly I have got good reviews. I am not a white night, by any means; and from what I have seen in Tekumel, and Greyhawk, I think Gygax wasn't quite as off the hook as Barker; except neither setting do I consider myself an expert on. With war games, there has always been that certain set, now they get called "wehraboos" though Marc Miller of Traveller fame wrote an article about the boy who loved panzers, and personally I sort of understand it, as there was a lot of propaganda around the military, and some don't parse it well. All things said and done, covering up for, or being apologist for a nazi, is pretty bad. [/QUOTE]
