Wait... wut? It's LITERALLY TRUE that there were fewer domestication of animals in the Americas which is why they had fewer diseases like poxes. It's why contact with Europe was so bad for them. HOW is this racist? And if you're not allowed to talk about it, then how were the natives genocided?
I think -- so take with a grain of salt -- it's an extension of how the Native Americans were all peaceful Indigenous Folk Who Were Wise And Powerful (until those mean ol' whites came and killed them and took their land).
GG&S is pretty accurate from what I can tell, it's just unpopular with revisionist anthropologists who refuse to acknowledge that Christendom might have any true advantages as a form of civilization. Bitter tribals don't like being told that their hunter-gatherer society was inevitably going to be conquered, either by another tribe of equal development or by civilizations that had developed better arms, housing, and a steady supply of food.
The dwarves don't store their wealth in that way, that's just what happens after Smaug consolidates an entire kingdom's worth of wealth into a bed. Smaug is definitely a related half of the allegory to the dwarves as jews, and it's rewardingly complex of Tolkien to split the good and bad halves of the jewish symbolism into different races/creatures that play off each other(if that was the case).
GGS is spot on when it comes to things like animal domestication but it contains some frankly fucking bizarre assertions such as the lack of an eccentric coast line in China being a factor in why it was difficult for dissidents to hide. A) it wasn’t all that hard, they head for the mountains or the desert and B) China has a rich history of piracy. It makes good specific criticisms but fails utterly as a general theory due to poor research.
Over a month ago and that furry is still moaning about that thread getting shut down.
The resistence to having Luke show up and be heroic is entirely rooted in defending the Last jedi at all costs.
Agreed, from them anyway. There are good reasons to get a bit creeped out that they deepfaked young Mark Hamill into a show.
Lmao "escalating a sensitive thread." The ban reasons these faggots give are almost as surreal as the ones on RetardEra.
I think they're just quota-hounding their bans, considering how the post in my example was hardly offensive, but CrazyIvan turned it into "Custer is literally committing genocide of women and children! "
Good, there's dedicated communities out there for that shit. Furfagging on an RPG site is fishing for other furries or trying to convert, totally unnecessary.
Now if only we could get them to gas their other circlejerk threads and return to plain old RPG discussions.
Honestly, compared to what people on rpgnet are, turning them into furries would actually be an improvement.
If it wasn't 5E, I'd actually play in that game, sounds fun
Yeah, they've really been cracking down on "colonialism" and "dismissal of Native oppression" recently. Wonder if this is the next stage in the purity spiral now that nobody is willing to say anything good or bad about blacks for fear of being called a racist.
