And I think that trying to hide or negate his flaws is a great disservice to him, because we get an idolized version of him instead of the real Gary Gygax. And I prefer the real thing, with all his ugly flaws, than an artificially pretty but fake, idolized version of him.Does that mean that I like his flaws? No. I can criticise what he did without denying him his due. I'm going to still criticise his sexism, his unintentional (but still real) racism, and what I consider to be a bad choice in storytelling (his humanocentrist setting), while still being grateful to him for giving us D&D and the RPG genre as a whole. Hate the sin, not the sinner, as they say.And I'm not a woman, but I support this, as well.</blockquote>
