[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8491292, member: 6915329"] That really depends on what you consider prejudice here, or prejudice of a sufficient amount to warrant an amends process. For instance: should WotC donate money to an atheist organization for each book that contained the Wall of the Faithless? That wall can be pretty darn insulting to atheists--saying that nonbelievers deserve to suffer in a wall until they dissolve or get plucked out by demons looking to swell their ranks--and it's not even a legacy thing because it was referenced in 5e's SCAG (I believe). And it's compounded by the Athar of Planescape, who were presented as an organization filled with angry people (one or two NPCs were specifically mentioned as [I]not [/I]being bitter) who provide no actual beneficial services in Sigil, basically distribute anti-Chick Tracts all day, and who engage in actual harm against religious organizations and people. While every other faction did [I]something [/I]useful--even the faction that says all life is meaningless has soup kitchens, orphanages, and asylums. Or is it enough that WotC removed the wall from further printings of SCAG and that if Planescape and/or the factions are redone for 5e, the Athar will likely be given a substantial rewrite? So the question is, where do you draw the line? And who is objective enough to find every piece that actually shows prejudice? [/QUOTE]
