[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8895482, member: 67338"] so you see we just have a disagreement here... nothing you say after this is going to make me say "Gee I guess I don't want hate speech and slurs cut out" so why are we going to do this? You don't want guidelines. I want them. SUre they can. Lets pretend I owned the MCU... and I decide I want people to be able to put out fan fic as Open Licenenced things... but I have rules you have to follow... you can't copy names of story lines from the comics or other movies, and you can't change heroes to villains Even BETTER, lets say I owned D&D in 2000 and I said "Hey I want to try this open game thingy but I want to make sure they can't produce new feats... so the open licences says you can agree to it and you can make your own races classes spells monsters and settings, but no feats. better yet, lets say I just don't want anyone to make racists content, and I recognize that in 2000 what we consider racists was way different then in 1976 when this game started... so in 2024 it might be different again, so I leave vauge rules that will allow each generation of gamers to push for what they consider racists. if the ONLY way to be for OGL is to be OKAY with hate speech I bet you are grouping a lot of people as 'against' that would not consider thema gainst... I have always said it was both good and bad and I was never sure if it was the right move (and still am not sure) However keeping hatespeach rules in makes me happy. and the entire idea of "You have to be 100% with us, or you are the enemy" has to stop.
