The internet and social networks these days have a unique capacity to turn otherwise corner cases into full-blown scandals, which can be extremely disruptive on creative work. I'm also a fan of Monte Cook Games work in general.On the other, I cannot avoid but feeling rather uncomfortable with the situation. It's great that they handled the issue and avoided more problems, but at the same time it seemed like such a superficial and purposedly offended complaint that I would have liked MCG to stand their ground.It is not that I think writers and artists shouldn't take the sensibilities of their audience into consideration; we're a much more globalized gaming community now, and there are many angles and viewpoints to consider. Rather, I think context and intention are very important in these matters, and that not all claims of offense are necessarily valid reasons to force a change. Sometimes it is the offended the one who should do some introspection and attempt to avoid being too egotistical.</blockquote>
