Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuisCarlos17f" data-source="post: 8254472" data-attributes="member: 6802378">The X-Men cartoon from 90's was a fabule about a "mature" thread, the intolerance, and even there was an episode about slavery, in Genosha. When I bought the 2nd Ed DM screen there was a little module about exploring underground, and there were drows with slaves mining. What about all those old movies of "swords and sandal"? The movie "Lethal Weapon 4" was about Chinese slavery.  <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_(Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_episode)" target="_blank">"Anne", the first episode of the 3rd season of Buffy Vampire-Slayer was about slavered victims send to work to other dimension</a>.  I can understand some parts of the Mark Twain's "the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" are not politically right nor now neither in the past (the rude languange) but this doesn't mean now it has to be in a list of forbidden books.Sensitivity doesn't mean to cancel and censure all I don't like, but the right strategy should be to promote the respect for the human dignity. Without this we are only replacing a poison with other, but the things aren't fixed really. We have to avoid frivolity when certain threads may be linked with suffering by people from real life, but the key is about to raise awareness for defend ethical values, as the mentioned respect for the human dignity.We should be allowed to tell some horrible things happen in D&D if we aren't too explicit. Hasbro wants D&D to be a family-friendly franchise, but we need enough good sense to avoid innecesary taboos. The cartoon "the prince Valiant" was for (+7) children, but it also showed some horrible things also happened, even innocent people suffering serious injustices.Didn't you watch the cartoon <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time..._Man" target="_blank">"Once Upon a Time...Man"</a>? It was designed to teach History for children, but some scenes were violent for that age (Anime was almost totally unknown but Mazinger Z and Dragon Ball hadn't arrived yet). <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time..._Space" target="_blank">"Once Upon a Time..Space"</a> was not either very right for a preschool audence.We can talk about certain threads in D&D, if we have got enough good sense and we take care. We need enough serenity if we want to fix the things. And I demand a positive discriminative quote of morrion wearers in the side of the cool and noble heroes. Why only bad guys can wear morrions? (Disclaimer: I am kidding, and for this reason I have used italic letters).</blockquote>
