Cara, é um saco toda essa pregação moralista nos rpgs. Vc realmente acha que seu apelo vai impedir ou mudar a cabeça de alguém?

As pessoas são o que são, apenas Deus pode sondar nossas mentes. Faça seus jogos e não perca tempo querendo corrigir os outros, a vida faz isso por si.

I don't really think that "don't be racist" should be a controversial comment, but thanks for your input.

Por favor, não me entenda mal. Eu não disse que isso é controverso, eu quis dizer que isso é inútil.

Pedir para alguém mal deixar de ser mal, achando que isso acontecerá, é uma piada.

I have no interest in trying to convince people not to be racist on the internet...but i made a thing I'm proud of and I also have no interest in sharing it with racists.

Lovecraft was a serious bigot. His racism wasn't incidental, it was a major part of who he was and the stories he told. When we use Lovecraft as an inspiration but fail to address his behaviours as a person, that acts as a tacit endorsement of his racism. It empowers those who still share his views.

It's that simple. If you're not interest in the game, move on.

Well stated. I am a fan of the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft but not his racial opinions. They are laid bare in his works. In this case I can love the art and not the artist, but it's not easy...
