[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 6146366, member: 8461"] Everything is subjective; reducing the discussion to that doesn't help resolve anything. That said, one can look at a given thing (such as a statement) and try to evaluate if it makes a preconceived, unfavorable judgment towards another group. That's what prejudice is. Given that Daztur's labels weren't pre-conceived, nor were they unfavorably judging either play-style (nor, for that matter, were they about the people who play the game, as opposed to the style of play itself), it seems fair to write off that particular charge. For what it's worth, I don't think that you failed. People who read something pejorative into the terms you used are, indeed, reading into it. One could just as easily read into it the other way, that "combat as war means that it's a grim, awful engagement that nobody really likes, whereas people have fun playing sports, and the game is all about fun."
