Default In this topic: historical revisionists

I wasn't the slightest bit snarky when I was made the original post you all responded to, which merely elucidated that Crusader Kings II (a game I like, by the way, and one I'm usually more eager to defend) is saddled with a fair share of issues related to social justice concerns that might caution against its purchase.

Y'all then proceeded to react with:

Quote:
Are there honestly people out there that think a game striving for social and political realism situated in the 11th century should not portray the biases of that time and instead be unrealistically progressive?
Quote:
I'm pretty sure that by that definition Civilization is also "socially unjust"
...And even after you expressed this initial round of, yes, holier-than-thou know-it-all bona fide snarkiness in response to my otherwise innocuous attempt to inform, I graciously proceeded to try to explain the specific substantive issues in a post or two without delving into name-calling.

Instead, y'all proceeded to attempt to prove me wrong and/or lecture me, with a continued flippant tone:

Quote:
You're doin that logic thing again, Arcanum. Stop that silliness right now!
Quote:
You sure you did your homework on that one?
Yes, Bells, that last comment of yours I quoted was snarky and sarcastic and self-indulgent and uses wording that is at best completely unnecessary and at worst utterly dismissive.

Yes, I'm sure I "did my homework" on that one.
And yes, by the time we had gotten that far -- by the time I had already elucidated in three separate posts my line of reasoning -- I finally gave in to temptation and decided to inject some snark because you were already tossing out your zingers at me for daring to suggest that a game I actually LIKE has genuine issues.

And no, I shouldn't have to justify every attempt I make to preface recommendations for videogames with a social-justice related disclaimer.
This is the kind of attitude and behavior that makes talking about issues like sexism and homophobia utterly impossible here at NPF.
