Re: 1942: A new strategy war game
Nuno69, I appreciate your compliance.
I can simultaneously respect your right to have a given worldview without subscribing to said worldview myself.
I wrote an entire guide for the first Manamon game. My opinion is all over the place in that guide, but one thing I never, ever did is resort to racism or slurs or whatnot. I could have, too, albeit not for nearly the same reasons you did in the original version of your article. Just as one example, which I am displaying purely for the sake of explanation, people from the south of the United States have a more distinct accent, and sometimes this results in words being pronounced differently from elsewhere. An example is the word "feel", which can sometimes sound more like "fill". Such spelling mistakes have occasionally popped up in Aaron's games, and he comes from the south. Have I pointed out said spelling mistakes at times? Sure I have. They're distracting, and highlight his need for an editor. But I don't bash him, not ever, based on where he lives or how he speaks. That's just not fair. I have no bias toward people from any particular place; rather, I care about what individuals do, as opposed to just deciding with one swipe that all people from group 1 are bad/good/whatever.
And the most important thing is, even if I did have some cultural or racial biases at play, I would do my level best to keep them out of a game guide. People are reading such a guide in order to receive help playing the game, not so that they can get bits and pieces of casual racism in their daily dose of FAQ. The articles room expects a certain amount of professionalism in what stays there, which is why I asked you to update it in the manner that I did. Thank you for that, as I said before.
