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?

Godwin to the tenth power

We aren't trying to trivialize the events of WW2.

You may not be trying to, but that's exactly what you're doing.

We are trying to show that the world would be the same if a evil fuckhead had taken over the magical world.

Except that the magical world? Not Real. So saying, "In this non-existant fictional world, if an evil guy took over, it would be just like the Holocaust.

In addition to everything else, you show a lack of imagination. JKR wanted to draw the Nazi parallel, but you'll notice that she never once used the words "Nazi" or "Hitler". She created her own terminology. If you really don't want to trivialize history, why not do the same?

She may not have in her writings but she has in interviews. If it's not just like the Holocaust you explain a way of explaining it. It is the destruction of a race of people, the destruction of a way of life no matter if it's magical or muggle.

The point: here

You: Somewhere on Alpha Centauri.

Do you understand what an allegory is, and how fictional events can be written in such a way as to reference real-world events without actually mentioning those events? Or did you read Animal Farm and think that the point of the book was that pigs are bad?

JKR was making an allegory, using fiction to show up the evils of real-world prejudice. You've managed to turn that on its head and come up with "prejudice is just as bad in fiction as it is in real life".
