[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9169409, member: 6802378"] Even if you have a completely clear conscience, you will have to face the consequences of your actions, and this in the business world can mean a boycott campaign. We can agree we need humildity and self-criticism to not become zealot monsters, but some times you have to stop toxic people who try manipulating you emotionally appealling the shame and guilty feeling. Some times you have to wonder when the criticism against somebody is a dirty trick by a rival to destroy the prestige of his enemy, or to avoid the lose of popularity when the rest notices the rival is more worthy of trusth and loyalty. I am not who needs the most a sermon about taking away from the dark side of the Force. In the name of the good sense, can I ask you enough empathy to understand without prejudices the point of view by the rest of people? It is not only once an offensive trope but the total abuse. In an episode of the action-live of "the last of us" a character was reading the Bible. It is no spoiler if I say then the audience could notice too easily that was going to be the bad guy. Would you tolerate an adventure based in Emilio Salgari's novels "Captain Tempesta" and "the Lion of Damascus" where the crusaders are the good guys, and the Otomans the evil empire? Or the Emilio Salgari's saga of Sandokan, the tiger of Malasya, where the British empire was the antagonist. Or using as source of inspiration Luis de Eguilaz's chilvary historical novel "the sword of saint Fernando" set in the Spanish reconquest (one of the heroic characters is a former Muslim who converted into Christian faith). Let's imagine a zombie-terminator character with the name Rafaela Herrera, who defeats complete hordes of mindless undeads with a great courage. Then a British complains because Rafaela Herrera is the name a historical character from Nicaragua who helped in the defense of fortress of Inmaculada Conception against the invader British forces in 1762. A very subtile insult against the Britishs. Couldn't you have realised? * Al-Andalus was not the golden age of coexistence between the three religions. Jews and Christians lived as citizens of second category, like a medieval version of Southafrican apartheid. Don't you know about the razzias, the raids against the Christians, or the aceifas in al-Andalus? Can you guess how is to live as a native Christian in Egypt or Pakistan? Read Fides News Agency.
