pmcollectorboy: Cracker Jacks. Bible. Same difference.
Cracker Jack is the better value, because you get your prize *before* you croak.

Well I've said everything I wanted to say, I appreciate being given the opportunity to do so. There are a lot of places that would try to censor this conversation, including the developers of the game on forums that they have control over, and the fact this thread has been allowed to continue this long speaks well for GOG.

My main concern ultimately is with a postmodern attempt to destroy the enlightenment values that our modern world depends upon, primarily the value of reason, and it's that reason that leads towards our individual freedom, science and knowledge among other things. That is what a lot of sjws are trying to do, their ultimate aim. Be wary of attempts to subvert the idea of objective reality, truth, malign reason, to silence free speech and muddy science, to create racial and gender division/ conflict where there doesn't need to be any group conflict. I sensed an attempt with this game to subvert objective reality by not allowing us to choose our gender in reality, and only how our gender is referred to; I still think that was their aim, and I absolutely oppose that. It's hard to overstate the human catastrophe that would occur if the primary importance of reason and free individualism in society is lost to anti-realists and forced compliance collectivists.

richlind33: You are the one who is struggling to adjust to changes that are beyond your control, which suggests to me that you got your compass from a box of Cracker Jack.

OH! There it is, the "sjw"! :P

I knew it had to be coming sooner or later.

A meaningless hook term for a hollow meaningless argument, and a dead giveaway for anyone who uses it.

What was it you said? Oh that's right... was that really necessary?

Its funny how you reject one form of nonsense while embracing another.

At least a few people here have some common sense.

I can't claim to know how many transgenders are true gender dysphorics. Certainly it's possible there exists a number of people who transition for the wrong reasons. But transgenderism and infantilism are no more related than homosexuality and pedophilia.

Your kind reports this with positive music playing in the background portraying a beautiful moment.

Also... there is likely more of a link between homosexuality and pedophilia than you think... often childhood victims of homosexual abuse or rape.

Breja: I'm probably going to greatly regret joining this conversation at all but here goes:

I don't believe that simply not having some group (any combination of skin color/gender/sexual orientation) represented is discrimination. Thinking like that only leads to ridiculous tokenism. As long as the game/book/movie whatever is good I honestly don't care if there's not a single white guy there, or if all the characters are white guys.
Let us the stories be good.

Let artists spin good tales. Let them tell you stories that will give you something.

Do not rush to judge. Especially art from a different time or place.

Bear in mind what things are, and limitations of stories that come from the fads, preconceptions and misconceptions of the time (think Robinson Cruse using tobacco as a medicine and actually improving, or leeches in pre-modern medicine, or whatever).

"Dead old men". Well, men or women, for a work to stand the test of time, once the hype and the fad is over, some actual time needs to have passed. Self-promotion needs to be no more. Often this means said self is no more.

The purpose of narrative art is telling truth via a story. Tokenism, as @Breja points out, is an imposture, leads to fake elements in the stories and ultimately, fast, to bad art.

Let artists be honest in their work, that is all we ought to ask from them.

No kidding, how hard is it to just respect someone's existence and leave them be?
