Possibly Controversial idea (The Youth of Andrew Jackson)

There’s a significant chance that Hosted Games would refuse to publish this due to our guidelines about Grossly Offensive content.

Specifically, we believe that allowing the player to participate and encourage horrific actions (e.g. rapes, genocides, hate crimes, war crimes), especially historical ones, usually contains a certain amount of glorification inherent to the medium.

Specifically, it’s very easy to justify actions which are unjustifiable, both by simply making the player participate in them and rewarding them for doing so, and by seeking a narrative balance and ‘reasoning out’ things such as rapes and genocides as ‘understandable’ or ‘inevitable’ when we see that in actuality they are not.

But it’s not what your game is about, but how and what you present, in an interactive medium.

You’re either whitewashing by choosing to have these acts “in the background” as you say, or you’re glorifying by putting them in as choices or eventualities. You can’t win doing a historical game of this type on or around such a character.

So unless you’re willing to give good advice take your comments somewhere else.

I’m sorry, but this topic is not at present locked to me. I am allowed as a consumer to voice my opinions on anything that can and will be provided by this company. Several other users have already done the same.
