[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9298840, member: 177"] First and foremost, because the people who make it seem to want it that way, and since they make it they get to choose what they want as the baseline assumption. Nobody's stopping you, either, so maybe lean back just a tad, hm? (emphasis mine) That's one point among many. I'm not marketing any games at all. I cannot answer for WotC.... ...But, really, you seem to have already made up your mind, in a rather unflattering way. Is there actually a reason to continue, given that? You are an adult. But need we remind you that this game is marketed to minors? You live in a culture that feels some fictional materials are not appropriate for kids. That's not about "people whose role in life is to be offended". It is about people whose role in life is to protect and guide their kids. So, if you want marketing to actively make it clear that, yes, you can play villainous folks of low moral character, yeah, maybe that's a bit much to ask, given minors as a major target market. And again, the implication that those of us who prefer more white-hat games are doing so because we "take marketing to heart" is lame and insulting. Please stop. [/QUOTE]
