In a now closed thread about a certain intolerant group, some poster said the game designers had much hyped up, amoung others, Japanese xenophobia from the 1980's.
Much as Ihate to admit it, this is NOT just something from the 1980's. It is current now in truly ugly ways and the distaste towards metas is really right on the beam. Last year a shop keeper was in court for failing to serve an African American. His successful defense was "I am not a racist, I just do not like black people." I could give many more RL examples but this forum is for SR and what I want to say is that this stuff is deeply ingrained in the culture and even the Emperor himself saying "metas are ok" is not going to change that. That's why most of my IC posts here are screamingly racist to fit in that. There could be some great runs set up around the throne or it's advisors to try an 'correct' things. Backers who will support anti-meta polocies would find many devoted followers. IC: Metas aren't evil but they would be much better off among their own kind instead of having to interact regularly with normal people who would only serve to remind them of their differences. |
