It doesn't really reflect the reality of trying to be thoughtful, but instead creates a fantasy where you have to take massive amounts of time to consider every detail. Rather, the problem is that people don't consider these details at all. You don't have to always do a deep dive into contextualization, but for certain things context matters. Just dropping in something from someone else's culture because it looks cool is exactly how you get these sorts of problems and avoiding them means you have to take a moment of consideration when you do something like that. Acting like this means you have to occupy yourself with weeks on this comes off as trying to create an excuse to not do it at all.You said "propaganda", but now you completely walk away from that. What did you mean by "propaganda"? Who is putting it out, and what is is? You can't just drop that in here and not address it, because that is the big part of the nonsense I was referring to.I don't know what to tell you about "walking around on eggshells", because I don't. I try to be sensitive and and when I make a mistake, I correct it. It's really that simple. The bigger problem is people who don't want to do anything and complain about the mere discussion of this stuff.PROPAGANDA FOR WHAT? Cultural sensitivity? Who is putting it out? Again, I repeat: this is nonsense. This is creating an enemy where none exists, and using it to try and concern troll for your position.This is absolutely about trying to ignore problems in D&D, and largely trying to concern-troll around it. Like, the greatest problem with these sorts of discussions is not that people say we can't use these things; I find that these discussions always give me new ideas and new ways to look at different concepts.What I find a problem are people who solely come here to say they don't find these things a problem and find that these discussions are a problem and that we shouldn't be having them and these are what are making D&D bad. It's just a bunch of "How far do we go?!" instead of actually engaging with the topic being given, trying to act like people who are talking about this are one step away from banning violence in their games or something. It's inane.If you don't want to talk about these things, then don't. The whole point of this thread is to actually discuss the issue, not discuss the discussion of the issue.</blockquote>
