[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8856250, member: 85555"] But not everyone has to agree with your critique of something is the point. There can be room for reasonable disagreement about this stuff. I don't have an issue with someone critiquing something I like, or even calling something I like racist. Sometimes I might even agree with the criticism. What irritates me in discussions like this is when someone insists I agree, if I don't, and then insist affixing the label to me in that way. I just don't understand how you can't see two people could see the same trope in media, one might perceive it as problematic and the other might not. There doesn't need to be one uniform opinion on a given thing: especially some of tropes we've talked about here. Like I said, I see why you might find a given trope racist. In a lot of the cases that have come up, I just don't share your conclusion. And it isn't because I am shutting my ears not listening to you, or I feel like my identity as an RPG player is somehow at threat (RPGs are just one medium I happen to enjoy). I have just heard many of these arguments, thought about them, and disagreed with them or reached a different conclusion. [/QUOTE]
