I'm not quite sure what is the issue with this.
It's creating something new, not trying to take over something that already exists.
It has to live or die on it's own merits. So let it.
This is a fair point. I suppose it does have to do with an individuals point of view and assuming a content creators motives.
For me though, when I read the "What is this RPG" intro it says this. "Journey into a brighter, blacker future with Into the Mother Lands, a brand-new sci-fi odyssey role-playing game, developed by a fantastic team of POC RPG designers."
It's been hammered by social media that words matter. So what is this intro mean? Should I just take it as it is? Are there any read between the lines type of thing?
I can accept the statement as is, okay. What if someone said "Journey into a brighter, better future with Into the Mother Lands, a brand-new sci-fi odyssey role-playing game, developed by a fantastic team of Caucasian RPG designers."
Is one word more inflammatory than another?
I'll admit the fault could lie with me.
Racial, sexual discrimination and segregation is A-Okay when THEY do it.
For my part, as a mixed race mongrel married to another mixed race mongrel and father of a mixed race mongrel, I have exactly zero interest in playing Myfarog or the counterpart produced by POC (how I hate that term, where's the difference between it and Colored People?).
In my eyes both games are by racists, for racists.

Ahh, Geeky, I love it. Your straight-shooting, brutal sense of humour has e laughing every time, Hermano. I sincerely wish far more people had simple common sense about these kinds of things, and just had a reasonable perspective--a real perspective, based on real people, real food, real experiences, and real relationships. I so often get the sense that people form their social and political views based upon the jello they have been swallowing from a college class, or a book.
Pick your ass up, move to someplace with real people living there. Eat at a local restaurant. Create real relationships with actual normal people--not fucking "Community Activists" or grifting college professors, and the like.
I often think that so much of the SJW consciousness and social and political ideology is so divorced from reality. It's so detached by a margin of oceans from how normal people think, speak, and relate to each other.
Geesus. I miss me some hand-made tortillas, my friend! Some fresh-made chicken enchiladas, good beans and all the good things. And then a fine cigar to enjoy afterwards.
All of the fucking Marxist, racist troglodytes can gargle gasoline.
Semper Fidelis,
