[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 8037920, member: 6895991"] Very thorough analysis, though your one of your comparisons sticks out: the [I]a) that a typical married woman is indistinguishable from a prostitute[/I] because as always if you assume a typical moral compass this goes both ways: Has a married woman to be pictured differently than a prostitute and if, in what way? And if we picture her differently does that down-value a woman who is - forced into / takes pride in caring for lone man in a social way by - being a prostitute? If forced she should be displayed as a victim, but hey wait, some women are forced into marriage also! If doing it free-willed (and also for the money) so what about women marrying (freewilled) a man just because he is rich? Why is one better than the other? Is it somehow (from a modern ethics viewpoint) bad if a woman decides to have many partners? Summary: If you depict married woman indistinguishable from prostitutes in your game you maybe might offend some married woman. But if you depict prostitutes as being worth less than married women in your game, because of their profession, you might offend one of them instead. On your A and B questions: In my games I use old school stereotypes, and everybody I play with is cool with it. I do not use offending stuff resembling RL racist behavior, but stereotypes I do use. And yes there are the bad guys in my games, who are evil by nature. But my players and me know that one for sure: It is a fiction scenario - any resemblances to RL are pure coincidence and dramatic potentially offending topics are to create an intellectual problem, and not to push any RL agenda.
