[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 8499657, member: 6716779"] I'm not claiming it's right or wrong that's what it was like. I lived through it iirc you're 19 or so you weren't there. The reason no one cared that much was the cultural zeitgeist was different and the actual bad stuff happening back then was what people focused on. I posted some if the bad stuff but it's to graphic. You can jump up and down going la la la as much as you want. Why do you think the nihilism of the 90's happened for example? The 80's kids grew up and it was a collective F you to the olde generations and the 80's (greed is good). Consider that the stuff I saw with my own eyes, observed and saw the consequences of up to an including people dying is to graphic for these forums. Look at the movies from that era and what else was happening. That's why. Is Orcs of Thar offensive absolutely. Compared to what else was going on at the time it wasn't that bad. And the 60's and 70's were worse than that going by my mother's stories along with my friends mother. They weren't worried about things like that back then it was AIDs, gay rights (not marriage), legal protections for women, crack cocaine, just say no etc. And a few of those things turned out to be disasters. You weren't even born yet. Orcs of Thar offensive in 88 I was more concerned that year with my parents divorce, the old man's boozing, getting clobbered at school and my sister getting kicked out of home such is a 10 year olds life. That was easy compared to others. That's the PG recap of 1988. Didn't have the privilege of a nice 2010's upbringing and social media. [/QUOTE]
