[QUOTE="imagineGod, post: 8317743, member: 32454"] But you just created a new logical fallacy in that you made a case for an objective stance of objective evil that some dead people did. We know that in our diverse world with cultures spanning eons, there are no universal objective standards by which to judge everyone equally all over the world. This fallacy is made worse when we blindly single out a particular dead person we may personally dislike for specific criticism from a peculiar modern perspective. Using such an approach is self defeating for it condemns every human being into some evil category. Some major religions call this the original sin. Some even say before you remove the speck from a stranger's eye, remove from yours first. Basically, because norms change over time and across the world, every human has an ancestor who committed acts considered wrong by today's standards. So we are all condemned. To the single out Gary Gygax for special public lynching is hypocritical. Everyone here said something they regret sometime in life. If every statement is recorded and meticulously analysed, we are sinners all. The issue I have is not with reasonable critique, but the hypocrisy of Wizards of the Coast issuing disclaimers only recently upon products they have been selling for profit for years. It is like watching a big Western corporation issue disclaimers about child slavery yet doing business along their supply chain with some exploitative company in another country that uses child labor. Performative virtue signaling that does not actually solve the root problem. People on this forum who called for more reasoned debate are not getting the same likes like those who ridicule Gary Gygax. And if you visit the TSR Games Twitter, you see a large group of mostly internet savvy young people attack an old man who misspoke from anger that so many enjoy his father's game but hate his father so. That exchange when viewed from a wider holistic view looks more like a gang of youngsters beating up an aging defenseless fellow. [/QUOTE]
