[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8907655, member: 6778210"] I mean, given that they've had multiple scandals regarding both employees and tournament behavior (in MtG) around racism in recent years, putting a bit more inclusivity into their art is not necessarily going to convince people. They still make obvious mistakes like the Hadozee stuff, which... ...That they made the mistake [I]in the first place [/I]is something of an indictment on its own. If you had to have other people notice how problematic that stuff was, why should we trust your judgment when it comes to stopping stuff like hate-speech? Simply put, it's hard to trust that they care so much about that topic that they'll blow up the OGL for it when they're letting racist monkey-people somehow escape the drawing table. I mean, they forced the people who put out "Eat the Rich" on DriveThruRPG to change things because they felt using "anti-capitalist" was "political". Trying to put this all on LaNasa, if that is what they are trying to do, is just disingenuous (especially given that his case does not involve the OGL at all) given their previous actions. Honestly, if they want to justify sweeping changes to the OGL under the idea that they want to defend the license against racism and hate-speech, they could probably show us that they won't make any boneheaded racist mistakes for a few years just to show that they are actually correcting their own problems rather than just rainbow-washing things.
