Pretty sure he's just another jellyhead with zero fucking knowledge of history other than "white peepo are evil colonisers, and muslims trannies LGBTQ native peoples etc etc are the colonised". Well I tell ya hwat, if whypipo are so fuckin' dangerous you'd best stop pissing them off by constantly blaming them for everything wrong with the world.
How long do you think you'd last on RPGnet using an adjective like 'byzantine' or wanting to author a historically accurate RPG setting in which you play Ottoman Muslims with five sex slaves each and a small legion of Janissaries you're about to send back to their home city to murder their kin?
I mean pretty much any historical society is going to breach conventional moral codes in pretty overt ways, most gm's either go 'disney' were you sanitize the shit out of it or downplay it-because playing an endless gritty shit show is unworkable if you're trying to do a fun romp . Their's other problems such as white colonial hang writting being whiggish when applied, such as writting lots of indications of how things will play out and putting the world in a stasis waiting for it to occur. I remember a Sengoku Jidai setting game were their was lots of hang wringing about the Christinization and the guns, despite the fact the period concludes with the Tokugawa shogunate and the japanise in general don't sync with post colonial whiggish history narratives outside of that time the western powers effectively let them know they couldnt ignore the world anymore by throwing our weight around......which then led to them becoming a big player on the world stage and could have really fucked us if it'd gone differant.
Personally I tend to go for a moderated approach of acknowlaging but not making it vulgar. For example ramping up the difficulty for on social roles if you're in the 'wrong' group.
