Allow me to clear the air as well. I have no problem with you and apologies if you thought I did. While I quoted your post, what I said was more mentioned generally. I am simply getting fed up of everything. Political correctness and censorship gone mad. It is like we live in a totalitarian world these days, which we have been warned about, and there is no room for others being offended. In fact, I say people should be offended and challenged. It is how we grow as people.
So again, apologies if you took what I said personally. Your post just allowed me to get something off my chest. Much of this is new to me, as I’m out of touch with the world and I’m anti-social, so I’ve only just found out about ‘sensitivity readers’ as well, which is another way of censoring creativity.
You can see it with people wanting to pull statues down, more than anything else really. I believe they’re wanting to change some things in Canada, regarding history and colonialism if they haven’t already, as well (it seems a cesspit there).
Regarding vikings, I have no idea regarding that. I should look into it, however. We agree that my assertions about women in more traditional armies, like the Franks and English would have been men only for the most part though? With exceptions for when non-soldiers decide to take up arms.
I mean, I’m no historian. It just makes sense to me. There is, afterall, a reason we have all this equality stuff today as well. It goes back to our history, something we are perhaps paying for today. Actually, I wouldn’t say perhaps, we are.
Apologies for that. I was again more speaking generally, however. Just speaking to people who have to force their agendas on people, you know? Not anyone in specific.
You’re right as well. While I don’t have any idea as to whether the info you gave is factual, I do know the gaming landscape is definitely different. I know there are more female gamers than there used to be. Or well, I believe so anyway. When I was in school in the 90s and early 200os, I don’t remember hearing girls talk about gaming really. I’m 33 this year, so . . . I’m really out of touch with a lot these days. The concept of taking offense at everything is alien to me too.
Also, allow me to say thanks for being civil and to again apologise. It’s good we can discuss things like adults, whereas things usually turn into petty insults at the slightest hint of disagreement these days. i honestly expected to be insulted.
