@Ganymede said in MUers in the news?:
So, I'll say my piece: creating and enforcing a monoethnic game are racist choices.
In @Nymeria's case, she strongly asserts that her game is not mono-ethnic. But if you want to play anyone with any kind of actual power, importance, influence, etc, you have to be from the Noble houses, which are all apparently white-as-the-driven-snow.
Which is exactly the kind of systemic racism that we're still dealing with. So it doesn't even get a wash for not-actually-monoethnic because it's creating a clear power disparity for those who aren't in the Superior Caste.
I want to make that very clear.
And for those of you who questioned this before, let me say this very loudly:
Racism. Is. Wrong. This is not an argument, this is a statement of principle. I and @reimesu had a long discussion about whether we wanted to try to sieve out the Mod Voice stuff from the Personal Voice stuff on this one, and while I didn't get a chance to chat with @Runescryer about it I'm pretty sure that we're all on the same page:
MSB doesn't support racism and we absolutely will not be "fairly engaging" with racist ideas in an attempt for someone to try to justify why their bigotry is acceptable based on some kind of convoluted logic dance.
Nope.
