[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9169342, member: 6802378"] I don't like when somebody tries to "gaslight" me. I have to believe nothing said by un unknown person who unrespect me. If I am using the reason, why should I believe totally any thing written in internet? I have the right to doubt to search the truth. Nobody should force me to agree him. Most likely is druid not being removed. But we are talking about what are the criteria for the limis when we try to avoid offending sensibilities by other groups. My opinion is the criteria is not being really coherent, because some things could be "cancelled" but other are allowed. Why would be offensive if in a module of Spelljammers the evil astral orcs (scro is a horrible name) wear clothing as Otoman corsaris, but if it is as Spanish conquerors then it is OK? I hope this example to enough soft to explain how the speculative fiction can used as a propaganda weapon to create a new black legend against a rival superpower. Lets imagine in the next years Russian and Chinese webcomics being published in internet in English languange.
