And what's really funny is, it wasn't even - it actually downplayed it!But even downplaying it was too much for some people...Also "so called History book", are you joking? If not then what a terrible and purely hypocritical thing to say in this context! It doesn't further your argument, it's just a massive of admission of extreme bias if you mean that.No.If you're against saying early D&D and particularly Gygax himself expressed pretty extremely sexist views, arguably significantly misogynist, you're absolutely doing a lot more than "simply not agreeing". You're becoming a historical revisionist in the service of protecting sexism/misogyny.Curious.You left out sexism and misogyny entirely.Despite them being the main issue here. I have no idea if any of those people said anything against the book mildly pointing out the undeniable and in-writing sexism of early D&D and particularly Gygax, but if they did, they are absolutely anti-inclusive. Sorry, that's just how it it is. You don't get to defend sexism and misogyny and say "I LOVE INCLUSIVITY" because you're already saying "It's okay to look down on 51% of the world's population!".If they said something against that section in the foreword, they're not "innocent people" in this context, are they? But I don't know if they did.</blockquote>
