[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8035155, member: 59082"] At this point it almost seems like there are four "alignments" with regards to these issues as a whole. I'll use random colors that have no symbolic meaning other than relating to each other on a spectrum. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]RED:[/B][/COLOR] Massive change and/or cancellation is required, including removal of offending products and/or significant re-writes. Very different direction going forward. [COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)][B]ORANGE:[/B][/COLOR] Some change/removal of past products makes sense, deepen/clarify disclaimers, review and edit 5E products with more cultural consulting moving forward. [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)][B]GREEN:[/B][/COLOR] Let history be history, fantasy be fantasy. General disclaimers are OK and some modifications for the future are fine, but don't go overboard. [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B]BLUE:[/B][/COLOR] Don't mess with traditions - remove disclaimers. Just play (or don't play) the damn game. My sense is that the Red and Blue folks are small but vocal percentages of the overall community, no matter what the noise on twitter is. Most here are somewhere in the Orange-to-Green spectrum. The obvious solution lies there, perhaps in some form of "[B][COLOR=rgb(247, 218, 100)]YELLOW[/COLOR][/B]." Most of the problems lie in one or more of three areas, as I see it: [LIST] [*]Red-Orange people think that Green people are Blue; or Blue-Green people think that Orange people are Red. [*]Red-Orange or Blue-Green people aren't willing to consider Yellow options. [*]In more reasonable discussions, Orange and Green people not agreeing on what Yellow is or should be. [/LIST] There are probably other problems, but those are what came to mind as I was writing this. For me the key to "solving" these issues is 1) Recognizing that Red and Blue are extreme views, and the solution (and most people) lies somewhere in-between; and 2) You don't have to be Yellow to accept and even embrace Yellow solutions. Yellow is a compromise for both, but because of that, it is the most inclusive option for a diversity of views and interpretive frameworks. [/QUOTE]
