[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 890483, member: 2673"] You misunderstand FATAL. I do not rag on it because it dares to be politically incorrect. It is called misogynistic because there are only two roles women could possibly fill in 900 pages of rules. Whore and rape victim. There are no nuns, mothers, craftswomen, and from what I saw certainly no adventurers. And the presence of racism in a medieval culture in no way makes up for magical items like 'Armor of Jewwy Jewbacca', or magical misfire tables that read "Two gay ogres appear and start [removed for Eric's Grandma] 30 feet from the character". I can deal with elemants such as racial prejudice and gender bias in a game setting. I can't deal with it being presented as if Beavis and Butthead got huffed up on paint fumes and started giggling about it. Need I go into 'Retard Strength', which the author claims is realistic because "A friend of mine worked in a home and said them retards was real strong". It isn't that it's politically incorrect. Its that its morally and ethically repugnant, and frankly, just plain stupid. [/QUOTE]
