masterful manifesto!! i am not well-versed in conlangs and in general passively accepted well-known language games (many of which you mentioned!). this is such a thorough critique of yet another layer of anglocentrism + Great Man Theory approach to game design. I'm going to think about this for a long time!!
solidarity from a fellow alien who didn't speak english!
Solidarity from a fellow alien who didn't speak English!! I sincerely hope that, one day, we can all share and communicate with one another in our languages, instead of having to communicate in a language that has bound us.
I would love to hear about any language games that I did mention on my list. I am always looking for more, to enjoy the positives and think about the negatives.
Thank you so much for your comment. I had not thought about how this related to the Great Man Theory approach to game design until you said something about it, and now I am turning that idea over in my head! I appreciate you taking the time to read my manifesto and to remark on it. Thank you so much!
