As someone in medicine

Yes? Does being a native grant you special protective status where others can’t debate your points about literary works? When we’re discussing Romanian orphans, feel free to discus with me whatever you wish, because I don’t feel that being part of a disadvantaged group gives me a trump card.

I suppose. I tend to err on the side of wanting more games released on steam than having more quality control up front, but some quality would be nice.

It’s very sad that your culture is mistreated, but I’m really not about to complain about a fantasy work giving a fantasy representation of natives. It’s not exclusive to your culture. I’d much rather put my effort into complaining about media that is intended to represent true native culture, as opposed to the works…

She writes a fantasy series that applies fantasy principles to alternate history.

Fantasy writer writing an entirely fictional reality to explain real world events in a fictional, alternate manner is criticized when her representation of a culture is fictional.

Every time an author references the Bible, historical events, cultures, peoples, they do it with their own interpretation and representation, and the majority of the time it’s not the perfect representation. If we’re going to allow people to utilize other cultures for their work for fiction, we have to consider and…

I think the problem is that people with an agenda insist on making it clear why they won’t serve you. Rather than simply rejecting it, as far as I’ve seen they make it clear that the other person is being discriminated. “We don’t serve homos in our good Christian store” sort of thing.

Buy the only grocery store in a small town and refuse service to anyone who’s a declared republican or straight. You’ll spark a human rights issue since people won’t have fair access to food resources. Probably cause a court issue and they’ll de-legalize business discrimination.

Filibusters prove a point. The democrats can just do what they did last time and effectively break Missouri legislative operation for a while. Or just make doing anything super annoying.

yall need jesus

I err on the side of not allowing businesses to deny services to people, because you run the risk of situations where people write “no blacks allowed” on their business. By nature, that ends up with an inherit disadvantage for a demographic when compared to other groups, because at its worst, an entire demographic…

Within reason I’m sure, and most companies aren’t stupid enough to cut out an entire demographic of paying customers for entirely arbitrary reasons.

Surprisingly, I kinda don’t care because I can just ignore all the bullshit games and buy what I actually feel like.

Real issues don’t get votes. Fixing real problems requires detailed, long plans and cross party politics to find the best solution.

It is in the full release state now, so it should be much more stable.

Really? I’ve had comparatively few issues despite running it primarily on a laptop.

If businesses could refuse service whenever and for whatever reason, black people wouldn’t be able to shop in half of the stores in the south.

I guess it’s a good thing that Christian beliefs are supposed to determine US law.

You can’t legally refuse because of discriminatory values. If you don’t want to service someone that bad, just don’t do it and ask them to find someone else. You don’t have to whip out your discriminatory dick and make sure people know you don’t like them because they’re unacceptable to your values or whatever.
