Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuisCarlos17f" data-source="post: 7765935" data-attributes="member: 6802378">In WoD you can create, for example,  a character who is a cangrel vampire former IRA member but you can't say IRA was created by Irish cangrels to fight Hibernophobia, nor "Pentex caused the violent night riots in Paris by madmen intoxicated by its products" nor "Technocracy did false flag operations in Russia to start a new war against Chechnya". You can create a character like Joseph Seed, the main antagonist of "Far Cry 5" for your WoD campaign, but you can't add supernatural causes to the tragedy of Waco siege in the 1993 real world, maybe at most ghost characters died in tragedies from real life. We need a piece of good sense and sensibility and a right distance between reality and fiction.  I start to suspect the reason about this matter they wanted an alternative origin for islamic radicalism in Chechnya and other Muslims countries, the true message was: "Stop islamophobia, don't hate all Muslims, the jihadists are puppets controlled by others, it isn't fault by the Quran". But the road to the hell is paved with good intentions. Other matter is many characters from WoD, not only vampires, are too close to social darwinism and Nietzsche's ideas about Übermensch or superior man who rejects weak slaves' Jew-Christian morality to follow his own ethic code. (For me this sounds like Joffrey Baratheon, character from Games of Thrones, with a crossbow and superpowers, or Lord Voldemort). Why Magneto, leader of homo-superiors, should respect flatscans' lives? If WW publihs fiction and sourcebooks to report fanaticism and intolerance but they forget to defend the respect of human dignity then they are losing the time, replacing a tyrant with a new one who may be worse than the previous one. And if we want to use speculative fiction to try a softer way to talk about serious matters of real life, do remember to convince you can't offend because then your listener doesn't trust you to keep hearing. Spanish cinema when is used like political propaganda become a total box office failure, time after time, because public doesn't want to support the same message again, and North-americans themselves also are sick by Hollywood's ideological agenda. We are in the beginning of the cultural counter-revolution, the actual equivalent of anticommunist McCarthy's witch hunt and satanic panic.</blockquote>
