hexennacht mods. [userpic]



If everyone knew 1984 was when everything was going to happen, why was no one prepared?
Hexennacht is an alternate universe MWPP game set in 1985; a world where Gellert Grindelwald is now the Minister of Magic for all of Europe, and Muggleborn wizards live in fear of the Black Caps, Grindelwald's personal army, charged with keeping the Muggles and wizards alike in line. Hexennacht begins with the latest decree restricting magic allowed by Muggleborn wizards to the simplest forms of magic, while the purebloods are allowed to get away with murder. With the Death Eaters on the run, Voldemort in Azkaban with no hope of getting out, and the Order in hiding, along with the remains of their single ally, a former terrorist organization, is there any hope of restoring Europe to a land of tolerance?

Comments

Wait, people are sheep for not knowing about this until it was actively promoted? Or they're sheep for finding it offensive?

They're a sheep for jumping on the attack band wagon, when the game has been around awhile now and no one said anything until one person brought it up.

I'm going to repeat exactly what I just said below.

I'm saying it because I heard about it last night - as did most of us posting today. I'm sorry that my bat-signal didn't tingle when the game first showed up; my Special Snowflake Antisemitism Radar is still in the shop for the month.

I love the way you're trying to turn this around in order to avoid responsibility. Face up to it: this game done something pretty repulsive and guess what? When that happens, and people hear about it? You deal with the consequences.

It's a wonderful world out there, a world with free speech. You have it. You chose to use it. Deal with what comes next.

I saw the ad on my flist in the promo communities for a while, and it always made me cringe, but I didn't say anything, despite being Jewish and it pinging on a part of my cultural history. You know why? Because there's so much racial, sexist, homophobic shit out there, it's not only my Jewish, queer and feminist identities that get pinged constantly--no one is able to react to all of it.

Some of us are reacting to this part of the daily deluge of hate we experience now and giving it our attention because someone we know pointed it out to us now and we noticed, "yeah that really is a thing of suckage making our lives yuckier." And yes, now that you mention it, I really hate seeing that ad come up on my flist day after day.

So, if you don't change the name and we keep seeing this crap coming up on our flists, we're going to mock you, and mock you a lot. it's not like you give a shit about the rest of us, so why are you bothering to complain?



1- I'm not a member of the Asylum Promo comm. Although, I used to be.

2- I just found out about this via a friend.

3- The name has been changed.

Read the comment over again, I'm not saying ANYTHING about offensive so drop that line of crap right now. This HAS BEEN actively promoted and it seems all of a sudden one day, a load of people are like, HOLY GOD YOU'RE EVIL. I'm not saying anything about anyone in general, frankly, I'm indifferent, but really, take a look at the comment number and realize that it seems people jumped on this because other people were on this.

People replied because they found the name of the community offensive. The fact that there's more than one of us, and that many of us learned about it from people who were offended, does not make it less offensive. It also doesn't make us sheep.

Again, you fail to see my point - there ARE PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY HAD SEEN IT REPEATEDLY AND JUST NOW COMMENTED. Yes, that makes them sheep in my opinion. I'm not saying EVERYONE, I'm saying a fair amount, a small amount, WHOEVER saw this posted daily and chose now as the time to express their concern. This game has been jumped on, and to be quite honest, we're not neo-Nazis or anything of the sort, the mods are nice people and no one hates the Jewish. In fact, I myself have Jewish relatives - my Grandmother's surname was Horowitz. The point is exactly as I had stated. People did jump on and basically admit it and all of this was entirely unnecessary, as in the FAQ there is a place to comment the mods if the name was bothersome.
