Racist scenario?

I see your point. To be honest though there's not much of a community left here at Civ Fanatics nowadays, just the occasional new face making a couple of posts and some of the old crowd checking in now and again.

I think this issue may have got more of a response at Apolyton though generally the guys there prefer to focus on game issues rather than political debates.

I agree that the wording was rather insensitive but what do you want people to do about it? Launch a witch hunt to bring the perpetrator to justice? The author is probably long gone from the scene anyway!

I think most people have agreed that the wording was naive and unwise and that should be the enough. I really don't think that the subject warrants the attention it has been given. If civconquest3000 had not brought it up I doubt many people would have even noticed it!

It IS just a game and one persons mistake does not necessarily reflect the views of others. This debate could rumble on and on but I cannot see what there is to gain from continuing it. It was wrong, end of!
 
Werd, you're right on.
A 'political debate' was not my aim, only to question why no one found "rampaging Muslims" problematic. It's not the scenario per se, but the lack of response to civconquer's observation other than to say it's OK 'cuz it's "just a game".

What do/did I want people to do about it? Just what you did, to say, "hey, civconquest, you've a point!" It does warrant my attention: I'm intolerant of intolerance. But, as you say, end of! ;)

Peace n Pancakes
 
And I admit I was mainly just being contrary. I will almost always disagree with any stated opinion, unless it is said exactly how I would have. Being a follower of analytic philosophy, I believe the exact wording is higly relivant
