[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7822304, member: 6802378"] Try not to disturb, not only for the good manners but also because offending is really a very, very bad strategy when the true goal is to convince. You should remember some things from the past now are offensive or politically incorrect, for example Herge's comic "Tintin in the Congo" or two Disney movies, "Our dinosaur is missing" and "Song of the south", or a scene from "Lady and the trump" where two Siamese cats are the antagonists. In the last year there was a new movie of Robin Hood where the antagonist was the Church, in a scene Robin to practice archery shot arrows to images of saints. Isn't there a double standard about the limits of politically correct? If the teleserie "the maid's tale" was set in a Islamic or Communist regime then the criticism would say the work is propagandistic cabarge. Now we can't produce a movie about the battle of Lepanto where Spain saves Europe against Ottoman imperialism because Erdogan (Turkish president) &Co would be offended. Today Jan Lööf's children book "My grandpa is a pirate" is politically incorrect because the antagonist is an arab pirate. Today Enid Blyton's "the famous five" is erased the part about the children going to church on Sunday. Why anything is allowed or censored? The teleserie "Duke of Hazards" is now banned because the car of the main characters had got a flag of the South Confederation. This was forbidden, censured, and you can imagine the troubles for videogames set in American civil war. Reporting racism, homophobia or machism ( = male chauvinism) isn't enough. If you rebel against authority but you don't defend the respect for the human dignity, the base of our rights, then you aren't fixing the problem really, but only replacing the tyrant. (Do you know the movies "the blind's land" or "Viva Zapata"?). Robespierre and the Jabobisnists for the French Terror weren't only a black sheep, but all the family is rotten to the core. The rebel and the revolutionary may become a new tyrant, the former oppressed may become a new oppressor, as in Frank Herbert's Dune saga the Honored Matres against the tleitlaxu, or Magneto and the evil mutants brotherhood, the archenemy of X-Men, or the monkeys from the planet of the apes. I say it again. 7th Sea is one of the best examples about how the speculative fiction can be used as propaganda weapon. It is not only annoying, it may become dangerous. In the real life anti-Christian hate causing fires in churches isn't science-fiction. [/QUOTE]
