[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8578087, member: 6802378"] Not always cultural appropiation has to be something wrong. It can be a hook to know and later to love other cultures. Today our society is enough cosmpolotina. There is a good reason to be allowed. For example if Western readers are used to amerimanga, later they could be interested in the original Japanese culture. "Spaguetti Western" are cultural appropiation if those movies were produced by Italians and not by Northamericans? One example, the anime "Sora no Woto" has used a real Spanish city, Cuenca, as "source of inspiration", to say it softly (there is in youtube a video comparing fiction and reality. And the city of Cuenca has chosen to use that anime as a hook for Japanese tourists. Do you understand? Allowing a little of "cultural appropiation" can open new doors to be introduced in our market. Of course we can add some preventive disclaimer: "This title has been written trying to be respectful for other cultures and all possible ofense has been unentional". Now we don't need a total setting, but some monsters and PC races for the nonce, and opening some doors in the DM Guild to see the reaction by the fandom and to test the level of tolerance. There are other option, partnership with other companies for crossovers with mash-up versions of other franchises. [/QUOTE]
