I don't even know what an alucard is. Damn I'm certain I don't even want to know. Is it something you can be proud of? If so it can't be a part of either gamelines.
I'm guessing it would have danger colours in it's hair and maybe some bald spots also. I'm not sure if it's male or female, but heck that alucard must sure be something.

Aspel just wants the attention. He wants to get all self-righteous and claim to win arguments that he regularly gets trounced in to distract himself from the fact that his is indeed a pedo and budding serial killer/190 proof That Guy. Therefore, do not engage with Aspel. If you are able to positively identify Aspel, just redirect him to >>>/d/. Over a long enough time period, he will be starved of attention and leave.

This. Say what you will about Camilla and atamajakki, but atamajakki is a cool gal and we eventually warmed up to her as she integrated with the board's culture.

Camilla's annoying and a clueless weeb who doesn't understand jack shit about WoD/CofD and is honestly better off playing a different game instead of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole like he tries to do with 1e Requiem, but unlike Aspel, he is not a pedo or a serial killer in the making. As annoying and grating as his attempts at running a "90's Anime Gangster" game is, he never expressed an interest in killing his parents. Plus Camilla's malice is always half-assed and in short bursts. He's annoying but you know he'll go away for a little while. Aspel is more persistent and in every thread.

Fuck Aspel, and I hope he gets banned.

I like atamajakki, she's pretty cool.

I dislike Camilla and find him to be an irritating weeb, but I utterly loathe and despise Aspel. Aspel is quite frankly, a hypocritical scumbag. He pushes for his SJW shit and yet he glorifies rape and wants to kill his parents.

Both would lose and win at the same time and the resulting paradoxical explosion of power would result in the actual on-time release of a non-shit Exalted 3e book instead of half a decade of delay and quality bombs. Holden and Hill Jr. would die and Dave would reveal all the secrets of Mage, we would ascend into a higher plane of existence and rule as enlightened poet-kings over the quintessence of the universe.

I agree with this, atamajakki has a lot of anger issues but is otherwise cool.

Let's play a game of "Would You Rather?", shall we?

Would you rather play in one of Camilla's "1990's Anime Gangsta 1e Requiem" games or ERP with Aspel?

>he is not a pedo or a serial killer in the making

Not the guy, but wow am I just amazed at these characteristics. I've always wanted a friend with these qualities.
>>
>>49875332
I like atamajakki, all things considered.

I find Camilla annoying but actually kind of pity him at the same time. White Wolf's fandom is notoriously toxic at times and I think he kind of fell victim to it and just can't get over it. I think he might be legit autistic, which would explain his rigid insistence on sticking to 1e VTR when 2e is so much better, even for the games he wants to run, as well as his obsession with 90s anime and gangster fiction. Camilla's aggravating as fuck, but I kind of feel bad for him at the same time.

Aspel is just despicable any way you slice it.

Agreed, I think Camilla's ideas are a crock of shit, but I would never ERP with Aspel even if the fate of the universe depended on it.

Still hope both of them get banned from here though.

I think we should redirect Aspel to /d/ as stated before, and maybe redirect Camilla to /a/ as well until they both go away.

Two-part question for this board.

So, anybody ever play Mummy: The Resurrection for oWoD? It seems to be the most obscure and least supported of all the gamelines, literally consisting of the corebook (which requires another oWoD corebook to have the full rules, similar to KOTE), a small Player's Guide, and strangely enough, a LARP adaptation for the old MET system titled "Laws of the Resurrection".

Demon: The Fallen, which came out shortly after Mummy and had way more support and fans overall, never got an MET adaptation for some strange reason. Does anybody know why that is? Was it just released too late in the development cycle? (Though Reckoning and Mummy both got MET LARP versions, so I'm not sure if that holds up)

Was there another reason for this decision? Has anyone at WW ever stated why Demon never got a LARP adaptation?
>>
>>49875445
Hope he sleeps forever.

>>49875533
Too late, Demon was the last thing before they pulled the plug prettymuch. Sad really because internally the game is astonishingly good. Demon the Descent isn't bad either, but Fallen just runs circles around it. The only """downside""" to it is that its very isolated, you can crossover but there's no incentive or point to it, being a Demon is a singular experience compared to werewolf or vampire or mage.

""""downside"""" I wrote because I never crossover and think all splats are infinitely better alone.
>>
>>49875445
I'm new to /tg/ and not familiar at all with the town loonies around here. Haven't played a tg after 2004 except iron man mtg and vtes. I've been coming here this past month and maybe another for owod nostalgia. I don't know about the other 2 mentioned here, but atleast the name aspel has popped up so many times with examples of his character, everytime when he has a say, I'm giddy like when you are while poking a corpse. I feel bit of terror, excitement, shame and morbid interest you know. Should I read the pastebin?
>>
Has anyone ever played WoD with miniatures?

I ask this because Werewolf: The Apocalypse 1e mentions a brief ruleset for miniatures in an Apocalypse chronicle if you choose to do so, and if I remember correctly, there was a company in the 1990's that released a set of metal miniatures for Vampire, Werewolf, and Mage that are kind of rare nowadays. I'm not sure if these metal figures were used for actual gameplay or just as a collector's item.

The only WoD books I know that mention miniatures and hexmaps in gameplay are Werewolf 1e and maybe Vampire 1e (I'll have to double-check though) and even then, they are presented as an optional rule and aren't really assumed to be a core part of play.

tl;dr, anyone ever play WoD with minis and a map or am I the only one? (I never used the original WoD miniatures, too rare and expensive. We used a few generic modern minis, as well as some D&D minis and even cheap plastic Army Men at times)

This was years ago (around 2005 or 2006-ish), and I haven't played WoD with minis since.

Right that was fairly standard, unimaginative crap. I wonder if he has ever done any sexual act that ended in climaxing with a consenting partner.
Here's a little impression I got from there. He is a paraphile who want's control. He is predatory and cruel by nature but also a coward as he leaves his fantasies as such. I've seen worse cases, but do I love to hate introverted puddles of sick like him. Does anyone know is he fat?

campaign went on haitus before we got too far, but I've got a few cool stories from the pregame, DM talks and first few sessions.

First was texting everyone that I needed to rework my character because I realized he wasn't enough of a dick.

Second was being in on GM knowledge (I had merits in status:court so it made sense that I would know why I was summoning the others to a thing), so while the other PCs were trying to get answers I just pass the GM a note saying "my character is drinking heavily".
Then the other PCs show up at the appartment and I introduce my character as "holding a bottle of gin, but smelling like whiskey".

Somehow, unplanned, the 4 characters wound up being in 4 different courts.

Really? Think about it. Raksha are creatures of infinite imagination and of fey aspect that lust after humanity and desire to interact with them (often parasitically) but live under a constant dread (of calcification and being found out by exalts and the Realm). Raksha fighting/interacting with eachother in the Wyld is exactly the same as what the True Fae do in Changeling.

Both Raksha and Changelings grant wishes and make pacts, often damning ones, both feed on glamour, both fear cold iron and create items of weird wonder.

Of course Raksha lean closer to True Fae and have way more power then changelings but to my eyes they're basically parallels.

Its good if you go Ark of Noah tier like uh that tripfag that posts here once a year, cultivate a stable of players from first timers and groom them to occasionally ST, eventually you have a small club of role players whom are all vetoed and cut off from the general degeneration of the hobby at large.

>And a very small minority of the population is pedophilic.

Sexual attraction to children exists in around 20% of men according to anonymous surveys. It's probably higher than that, actually.
>>
>>49876148
so Raksha are like the Fae, not like changling.

The title 'the lost' is pretty damn important to the themes of changling. It's about what you lost. You used to be human, be now your not. You use to be a child, but now you are not. Your life, your innocence, was taken from you. You've lost, and you are lost.

You don't lust after humanity as something foreign, it's something that's a part of you.
>>
>>49876297
I also hear 80% of women have teeth in their vaginas, also according to an anonymous survey.
>>
>>49876313
Ah but changelings aren't human anymore and never will be. Likewise, Raksha give up their true nature when they choose to acknowledge Creation and manifest in it, and can never become as they were before even if they go back into the Wyld.

>The three questionnaire surveys also found surprisingly high rates. For example, the most recent study, conducted by Becker-Blease and colleagues and published in 2006, used a self-completion questionnaire study of 531 undergraduate men. This study found 7 per cent admitted sexual attraction to ‘little children’, but 18 per cent had sexual fantasies of children, with 8 per cent masturbating to those fantasies, and 4 per cent admitting that they would have sex with a child ‘if no-one found out’.

>Judging by this study, we would be therefore looking at around one in five of all the men we know having some degree of sexual attraction to children. Remembering that these survey rates relied on voluntary disclosures, it’s not impossible that this is in fact a conservative figure.


Were they lying to troll sexologists, anon? Is that your assumption?

but for the Raksha it's a choice.
Changelings don't choose.

Considering actually roleplaying, I don't know if I ever again want to invest that amount of time just to sit. When I did it, I was younger and my joints could take the sitting. Then I wasn't aware of how amazing dancing is and didn't know sitting inside makes you ugly from inwards to out.
Right now I'm coming down from a speed and jazz binge, I'm drinking gin and waiting for these worthless benzos to take me away. So I'm feeling like bullying someone. Tomorrow I'll be even more nasty. It's going to be a trade. When worthless people feel bad, I gain my lovable self back.

Because there was an anonymous survey with those results. Thing is with anonymous surveys is that they're inherently an unreliable factor into any sort of statistical theory. Not to mention the fact that polls are one of the worst methods of data collection due to the practical limitations on gathering a statistically valid sample group not bound in any single location or cultural group to preform even a tangibly relevant analysis of anything.

Like in that example of the study of 531 undergrduate men, where was it made? When? What cultural background did the ones questioned possess? Were they asked in the questionary about specifically children, or artwork depicting children, or porn depicting "barely teen" porn actresses as well? Did any of those questioned suffer from mental or physical health issues?

Without knowing any of these, or knowing if the ones questioned even gave a damn about what they were answering (since its not like it would ever relate to them or matter to their lives, see the vaginal teeth survey which apparently proves 80% of women have fanged vaginas). Ultimately its useless data with no possible way to actually know if there is any accuracy to it.

They're more reliable than non-anonymous surveys since in those cases the questioned person is more likely to lie. The page also mentions another study using phallometry that reports 17% of men showing a sexual response to children under 12. That number is very similar.

The study is perfectly valid. Of course it in itself paints an incomplete picture, but what do you suggest they do otherwise?

Yes it mentions other studies made under equally unknown situations and also one says the result was 1%, almost nothing about the questionnaire that the article is about in the first place. Hell, note also that information on quizzed females is absent. How many women are pedophiles? Or was that simply not important to the ones conducting research or women can't be pedophiles?

This is barely a study, to the point that the report about it has as much substance as something a bored columnist would make up on a lazy afternoon.

Apart from the common-sense hypothesis that they are less likely to lie, you can compare it to other studies.

Hmm...

>also one says the result was 1%

Which one? The one where the author admitted to making an "educated guess"? The one that did not measure pedophilic attraction, but clinical pedophilia?


>Hell, note also that information on quizzed females is absent.

1: that's not relevant for assessing the pedophilia in men

2: it's on the page you I linked that you didn't read.

No but different research made 16 years ago form the one the article is about, with equally little information is hardly valid, which is all the research in the article.

The guy is almost right. People can become sexualized (socialized to sexuality) into a normal and healthy sexual agent at a very young age. They too are sexual agents in their own way.

I was troubled when younger and did courier/retrieval -jobs and I have been in both of the ends of violence. I know what violence and sadism is.

I'd see the difference in the cases is the motivator. Most of my cases are dealing with having things, wanting things, taking things and preventing others from taking things away. The will to do really inhuman things in that regard is developed by the surroundings. If you become socialized in violent handling of resources, you can accept differing types of violence in the handling of resources.
A sexual sadist/domineer does his thing out of a twisted version of human sexuality. During some event he internalized destruction of body or deprivation of will and sexual passion/tension release and went with that. Usually in the confines of his physical capability or persuasiveness and his personal degree of lusting after sexual tension release determines his ferocity in pursuing that release. It's easier to lessen criticism of your own sexuality as sexuality is something very primal and personal.

Why would murdering a person for money require different skills than murdering for sexual tension build and release? Someone struggles and loses a life anyway.
>>
>>49879392
It's been repeatedly shown that deviant and socially unacceptable fantasies are not only normal but healthy.
More to the point, your assertion that I'm going to murder because I'm a sadist/domineer is also off the mark considering I'm submissive and most of my fantasies revolve around being dominated with consent.

WoD/CofD players and Jim Jarmusch fans aren't really an overlapping group of people, so it's not a huge surprise.

I'd argue that Nightcrawler is a perfect example of what a CofD game would look like, and the main character is as close to a vampire as one can get without actually drinking blood. Late Phases is a pretty good movie for Hunter: The Vigil inspiration, too.

Anubis and Isis don't even resemble the gods they're supposed to be at all, and they went with a version of Set more demonized than any other myth.

Anubis seems completely in line with a lot of depictions, and I you and I read the Isis write up very differently.

>>49882737

I'd love to see where you see passionate, emotion-driven Anubis or any interpretation where he doesn't really care about the only thing he does in myth.
>>
>>49882652

I mean, Scion was never all that popular and didn't have enough 1e material to go on, and 2e just didn't have enough information to keep a general away from shitposting. It was always going to be about the kickstarter and the nature of kickstarter and whatever updates the kickstarter would have.

I think it's possible for a good Scion General to exist, but it can only be when the game finally hits stores and people actually start playing it.

He doesn't care about one specific part of his job. He's barely a feature in any myths, he's a Jackal, and Osiris took over his job.
His primary thing was mummification and the preservation of corpses, and Scion focuses on that, with his primary concerns being the condition of people's deaths. Likewise, you keep arguing that he's supposed to be calm and impassionate, but
>The Jumilhac papyrus recounts another tale where Anubis protected the body of Osiris from Set. Set attempted to attack the body of Osiris by transforming himself into a leopard. Anubis stopped and subdued Set, however, and he branded Set's skin with a hot iron rod. Anubis then flayed Set and wore his skin as a warning against evil-doers who would desecrate the tombs of the dead.[33] Priests who attended to the dead wore leopard skin in order to commemorate Anubis' victory over Set. The legend of Anubis branding the hide of Set in leopard form was used to explain how the leopard got its spots.[34]

>I feel like the concept itself is more than enough for threads

Nah. There wasn't enough of The World put out, there wasn't enough of the mechanics pulled out, and we only had one or two playtesters who had to figure out what was and what wasn't under NDA. Threads for games can't live under speculation and theoretical character ideas alone. Even if we don't talk a whole lot about our games in this general, the fact that there are actual games to go on keeps the general alive.
>>
>>49883033
Can you really call this being alive?
>>
>>49883062

I mean, preferably I think we should get rid of WoD/CofD generals all together and just only have shorter, more focused threads, but we continuously hit 300+ within a day or two, sometimes without huge derails. That's some definition of alive, at least.

The key to keeping a General going is that the property it is about needs to either have a new constant stream of new content or a large amount of previously released or current content to discuss about. Releases tend to be at a snail's pace no matter who is making the material, but there's over twenty years worth of material all the same.

1) Mummy:tR fell flat with fans. It was released as part of the Year of the Scarab, and was largely ignored in favor of books that expanded existing lines (Rage across Egypt and the equally awesome Cairo by Night leap to mind).

Compounding the problem were the old editions of Mummy. Mummy 1e is a straight up expansion for V:tM, providing a new type of antagonist or ally. 2e was a stand alone that hovered somewhere between Wraith and Werewolf, had more clarity of vision, fucking amazing Derangement rules... and characters that couldn't die. Ever. "Eternally fucked" was the only way out. It invited long, languid historic campaigns for tight-knit groups. M:tR essentially starts by killing all those ancient awesome dudes off, replacing them with a splat that starts as powerful as a Hunter but quickly goes off the deep end at the higher levels. (vague memories of a level 3 of 5 power being able to demolish the entire city... goodbye campaign.)

2) Demon:tF just plain ran out of time. It could have really used a 2nd Ed to answer questions that the material could have covered (a method to stockpile Faith - like how Tass works in M:tA, for example?)... but it's worth noting that even back when White Wolf threw their tantrum and killed every game line, FLGS everywhere thought they were committing fiscal suicide.

Human beings are raised on the farms. Our free range days are long over. Bomb collars are set to explode if we leave the compound. They let the Vozhd gorge themselves on the remains.

Those of us with strength, or speed, or the promise of an intellect are given positions of trust as Ghoul servants. If we truly earn respect and trust, we may receive the gift of Cain. If we do not, we may be given that gift regardless, in exchange for a front-line place with "La Espada del Espiritu", the troops needed in the endless struggle against the Baali oppressors and their hidden servants. My master says their servants are everywhere, and we must always be vigilant.

Today my chores have led me to the domed city of Old Rome. The Masters sleep as we walk silently along darkened streets, running errands, delivering messages. Perhaps, for an hour, my time will be my own, as I eat my regulation bowl of starchy carbohydrates, protein and vegetable matter, and enjoy the tiny, forbidden treasure I keep beneath my straw mattress.

They called them "books", once. Only the Masters keep them now... but this is not like those dusty tomes, bound in human skin. This book is about a boy, and a dog, and a ball. I can nearly read it all now....

So I'm going to be playing oWoD Mage soon, and I'm a bit confused about IC terminology for Tradition Mages.

For attributes, abilities and Spheres it's fairly easy, but how do I say "This ritual will require three points of quintessence?" IC without it sounding really stilted? The same goes for Arete and Paradox, all of which are important and likely to come up in conversation but I want to avoid sounding as if I am literally reading numbers off the sheet.

>>
>>49886264
Masquerade had a similar problem with "Blood Points".... my advice, for Quintessence at least, is to come up with subjective descriptors that correspond one-to-one with a chart numbered one to ten. i.e. -
1 - "just a drop"
2 - "a heartbeat-full"
3 - "a bit"
4 - "some"
5 - "half a soul's worth"
6 - "a lot"
7 - "quite a lot"
8 - "heaps"
9 - "stacks"
10 - "an Archmage's ransom"

You could probably do something similar with Arete etc., using a thesaurus and looking up subjective terms.

(they tell you to do this at Angry Men's Training - name the levels of your anger, so you can identify where you're at, and walk away at a 7 instead of going to 10 and punching your wife/dog/child/boss)

I was pretty outraged when Umbral everything got scrapped in Mage Revised because of the sodding Avatar Storm.

I imagine that's small potatoes to the Ravnos players out there who had their favourite characters gang-staked by their own packs and coteries in the Week of Nightmares. At least the Stargazers leaving the Garou Nation didn't change a fucking thing to most players.

>There's going to be some heavy changed to the metaplot, too

Earliest indications are that we are now post-Gehenna, post-Apocalypse, post-Ascension. All possible world enders happened, although the scenarios are nothing that were published in the Time of Judgement. Loosely, vampires warred over "the graves of the Ancients" (so it was just one massive Diablerie buffet); A heap of Wyrmspawn were unleashed across the planet and largely thrashed so now the debate for the Garou is whether to have another Impergium; the Technocracy won "when we surrendered our creativity to the machine", according to massive asshole and lead designer Martin "Can I be Dracula?" Elricsson. How this affects the other game lines isn't yet clear.

Likewise, they seem obsessed with an ongoing dynamic metaplot that worldwide can be derail- I mean, be participated in; multimedia shit; brand marketing everywhere... oh yeah, also when the new Swedish HQ got set up with the White Wolf properties they ended up in possession of "10 years worth of work on the MMORPG", but given that there's been 3 different shitty alphas sited, and not one of them had sprite collision or physics worth a fuck.....

Alucard can explicitly only be beaten by a heroic but otherwise totally mundane human.

Caine is a monster (and one cursed by God, at that), and therefore by default cannot beat Alucard. Alucard can't just hit Caine and get hit back seven times harder by God, either, because Alucard being a horrible monster that can't die is ALSO a curse from God, and he's not going to let him get away with that kind of loophole.

Alucard can't beat Caine either, of course.

Your evaluation that this entire creative convulsion is a personalised fan service for a scant handful of Swedes seems utterly accurate (svenska rövhål).

What I see when I look at them is around 500 pages of compiled crunch from a massive stack of sourcebooks, even the fiddly, useless and broken bits that could have been left out. The artwork is hit and miss, but that's standard White Wolf. There's so little fluff that basic questions - what does it look like when a Kindred dies, or, what exactly is the process of transformation in the Embrace, how does it feel? - get left out. The books allegedly have editors, but I don't believe that for a second. Whole pages are full of rants that meander over irrelevant bullshit - Brucato is by far the worst offender - and the hideous attempt to mash sidebars into nearly every page makes it even harder to read. And then, after all that, they have the AUDACITY to say they couldn't address Sorcerers in M20 Core, because of space concerns. If the fucking editor had actually done their job, it would have fit just fine.

>Brucato isn't some new blood, he's the one they called in because he was writing the old shit to begin with.
Emphasis on "old shit". Brucato was thought of as a fucking madman 20 years ago, before he changed his first name to Satyros. His old stuff is cringingly bad - ultrafeminazi Black Furies, the Technocracy are mustachioed black hats, The Seven Mystic Traditions of European Awesomeness + The Darkies + Kung Fu Asians, personal unicorn friends for every visitor to the Children of Gaia Realm, all mashed together with Brucato's pet occult theories.... but that was OLD Brucato, now we have NEW Brucato, where everyone casts Magick using Yoga, your paradigm is shit because Chaos Magic is the One True Faith, and the Technocracy are saps who will never reach true enlightenment. Go Disperate Union! You're Brucato's new pets! Everyone else sucks Nephandi tentacles!

Some of us just changed with age, especially those of us with kids. We have to try to better than we were, to set an example for younger folks. The world is changing. Filling a young person's head with prejudice is setting them up for misery. After all, if that black guy is supposed to be less than me, how does it make me feel if he's more successful in life than me?

Besides, racism never made sense from the point of view of some splats. Why would Kindred care about skin colour when Bloodline and Generation was what mattered? Why would Garou place nationalism over tribalism? The only group that it ever would have mattered to is the Mages, because the struggles of a magical Craft are intrinsically tied to a specific ethnic group.

Not really, it's such problem now because young people, who are main demographic group of customers in RPG market, are so sheltered now.

Brilliant argument indeed. Why is racism in our society at all, if money and status is what matters?

Is it different in USA? Here it is mainly high school/college students, oldest PnP gamer I personally know is barely over 30.
>>
>>49890281

Here, the market tends to focus on older people who were already into the games to begin with. If I recall correctly, the average age of a tabletop gamer here, or at least people who actively play and state that they do so, is somewhere in the late twenties and early thirties.

The internet is once again skewing the market towards the young, especially as streaming RPGs becomes a new market for game streamers, but for now younger people are usually more familiar with freeform RP, with a tendency towards IP-based freeform RP.

Yes because Christianity didn't come out of the middle east and Vampire Dark Ages wasn't full of christianity and muslim arabia interacting. Also thank god there aren't like six clans with non Christian themes and origins.

Fucking idiot.

Literally only Vampire 20, mage and werewoof 20 are abominations. Dont you have a RPG.net thread to circlejerk in?

Wait, I don't know much about VTM, why exactly is the 20th anniversary edition bad? I mean, it compiles all of the rules of various books into one package.

All culture is appropriated from those that came before us. It's only a matter of the time frame in which it occurs. If you're going to attempt to police who takes inspiration from what, then you are making the implicit statement that culture should be frozen at its current point.

Now shut the fuck up and grow a spine.
>>
>>49890916

>Be HONORED that I get to take your stuff and get to determine how it's used for you! What do you mean that only some cultures are allowed to do this? Don't you have a spine?

They're using an academic shorthand to talk about an abusive form of cultural cross-pollination. What counts as "abusive" can be a grey area that can be welded as a weapon by anyone with an agenda, but that doesn't mean that methods of cultural exchange take place on a completely free market.

On the greater scale of things, a bunch of nerd games using foreign terms badly isn't going to amount to much of anything, but some people seem to think that a bit of criticism in general is going to stagnate the culture. Calm down, dude.

Nigga you realize this is the same argument used by stormfags that want to "keep the white race pure", right?

And so they're fuckheads and control freaks until proven otherwise.

>>49891330

It could be used that way if you like to look at things without nuance. The criticism isn't that it's happening at all, it's that more powerful cultural forces will take an aspect of another culture, claim it as their own, and then use it as a tool to abuse the cultures that had it in the first place. It's the last part that's the key point, since they're talking about it in an explicitly colonial sense.

The cultural market isn't free, and the only people who get up in arms about that are either hand-wringing liberals who who seriously worry that they can't eat ramen anymore or actual cultural imperialists.

>>49891351

If we considered ideas to be bad because shitheads used them, we'd run out of ideas fast.

>>49889273
It's not the cultural appropriation part that's the problem, it's the connotations. Yes, Jihad has always had connotations of "holy war" (it's not), but the primary audience (America) wasn't at war with ~radical Islam~ at the time of the original books. I mean, it was just as dumb then, but didn't have the unfortunate connotations.

Oh grow the fuck up. This shit has always been marketed to the 18-35 year old crowd, and the whole "Millennials get offended because they're so sheltered" thing has repeatedly been disproven. We get offended because we're NOT sheltered. We're able to see different people's viewpoints, and have people tell us why things upset and frustrate and depress them. We're able to hear from people who aren't just straight or white because of the internet and social media. We can see people from outside of our shelters, and people who aren't in those shelters can communicate with those who are.

>>49890916
People who bitch about cultural appropriation the way that you do tend to miss the point entirely. It's not about "policing" anything. It's about showing respect. It's about white people not taking a black form of music, changing it a little, and then pushing the black people out of it and denying them credit for decades. It's about not taking the religious symbols of people that have been trampled on physically and socially and then using them for mockery.

Nevermind that standing up to the status quo takes quite a bit more spine than sitting down and defending it.

>>49891530
>>49891330
No it's not. The majority is not in any risk of dying out or losing it's identity.
Or, you could say that it is the same argument Stormfront uses. But the difference is for them it's another whiny fear that giving rights to minorities means taking theirs away. For minorities, the threat is real.

Christianity doesn't use the term Jihad, and as far as I'm aware, Jyhad was used before and outside of the Dark Ages line.
I'm not even sure what your yapping is about.
