There was this thread on BGG discussing "lineages" in Dragons Down. To sum it up; bad fantasy tropes regarding "humans with quirks" portrayed as evil and monstruous.
Here was my reply, I think yesterday:
It got removed because it's apparently disruptive.
Now, I'm making great efforts to try to adopt different perspectives than mine, to be welcoming to other cultures and to all people, to hunt down my biases, and to root them out when dealing with other people, etc. It's not easy, I cannot claim that I am always successful, but I try.
Yet, clearly, BGG still thinks I am a racist and I am concerned. I really want to comply with the values of tolerance I believe in.
I would appreciate any help in highlighting to me why the above is problematic so I can hopefully work on it.
I was also banned, for saying that calling the frog on the original cover of "Tournament Fishing" was racist is stupid. I agreed to not use "provocative language" again, but won't apologize for what I said. They told me "Then we have nothing to discuss.", and that was that. They've become self-righteous and egotistical in the last few years. Ah well, I don't need to be a member to see the games ratings, which is the only thing I really use them for anyway. I'm proud to be grouped in with Phil Eklund, you, and others. I've been bullied most of my life, the best way to deal with bullies is just walk away.
