The racism parts were discussing imaginary racism by imaginary people against real-to-them imaginary people in their real-to-them imaginary world.
I hope that clears up any confusion. |

okay, i'm a bit confused. what exactly is it that you're saying it's batshit insane to like or dislike, Dissonance? because from what you've said, it sounds like you're bashing people who like or dislike fiction--a position which is, i have to say, batshit insane.

Clear as mud, hyzmarca.
Between encroaching finals and a fading eyeglass perscription, I'm lucky that I can make ramen without setting my hair on fire. Okay. I'll try and clarify things. I think the idea of real-world people who consider Imaginary People Racism with Real People Racism to be laughable. I do not find anything wrong with using the former as a literary device. Using real world racism as a literary device makes me a bit uncomfortable, in all honesty, but I'm not about to burn a copy of Huck Finn. Actually pulling a Fred Phelps and calling for the death of all mud people? Utterly reprehensible and vile. In the current discussion? I find the idea of disliking SURGE equating to disliking a real world nationality to laughable. And for the record? I don't care either way about SURGE. I think it's neat, but if I wanted to have fox ears and feathers, I'd use bioware. |

No harm, no foul. However, if you'd rather me be a slavening, tromping, pooping wildebeest on the forums, I'd happily oblige.
EDGE RUINS THE GAME. FIREARMS ARE BROKEN. MAGIC IS BETTER THAN MUNDANES. MUNDANES ARE BETTER THAN MAGIC. TECHNOMANCERS. SWORDFISH MUSTARDBALL BUTTERY BROWN NIPPLES. CANON. Okay. I'm all done. |

Feeling superior through your inferiority?
Just kidding. I love you. How can I not love somebody named Geekkake? That's the single greatest name ever. |
