[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8507733, member: 85555"] You may disagree, and that is fine. But I don't think it is a yarn at all. you see this on this very forum, on twitter, on social media, in posts and articles about gaming and in products themselves. It is definitely getting harder and more uncomfortable for people to engage cultural elements outside their own in gaming. Maybe you are enjoying the new parameters enough and understand them well enough, that it doesn't bother you, that you feel it elevates your creativity. I found myself wanting to do certain things for artistic and creative reasons that made sense to me, and that I thought were good, but refraining from doing so because I knew they would be misunderstood or misread because of my own identity. At a certain point I stopped heeding these discussion precisely because of that, and I feel creative again. But I do think the ideas being advanced in these discussions are having a real effect on peoples' ability to be truly creative and express themselves in the hobby. You disagree. Fair enough. But I don't think it is a fantasy at all (in fact I know it isn't because I have felt it and seen it). [/QUOTE]
