[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #16548] German ruler suggestion inappropriate
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #16548 (project freeciv): Personally I'm offended by people who try to erase history as though it didn't happen. Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Ghengis Khan, the Aztecs, etc. should be remembered for how evil and bloodthirsty they were. If playing Freeciv causes someone to look up a Wikipedia entry on Adolph Hitler, or to read Mein Kampf in the original, or to watch WW II documentaries on The History Channel, then Freeciv is actually doing the world a public service. The content choice of Freeciv is not a bug. This entry should be closed. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?16548 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Update of bug #16548 (project freeciv): Category:rulesets = general Assigned to:mixcoatl = None ___ Follow-up Comment #1: This has been discussed many times in the past. I didn't find the references. From Freeciv documentation in the nation section, it is written: A leader should be a historically notable political leader of the nation. It is exactly what is A. Hitler for the German nation. In my humble opinion, Freeciv is a game, not a political software. It shouldn't rewrite the nation history to be politically correct with the main current public opinion. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?16548 ___ Message posté via/par Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #16548 (project freeciv): I agree with pepeto. There's one argument I'd like to add, namely the slippery slope. At the moment we're not passing judgment on any of the people we include; when we start exluding people for being evil that may lead people to conclude that we actually endorse the leaders that are included. It will also lead to discussions for every controversial leader, which is also something we'd better avoid. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?16548 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
