I don't understand though, because J.K. did model the death eaters after the Nazis that, this particular RPG is causing so much controversy when it does parallel like many others have. It's a name that brings memories, yes, but then again, it is just a name and it is not to the t modeled after that particular event. As has been explained, I believe, while JKR did draw these parallels, she was very careful to keep those parallels in the realm of fantasy. She never once referenced actual real life events, dates, groups or anything else. She kept them as just parallels. Your game has gone beyond parallels by appropriating a real life event into a fantasy setting. I honestly can't speak for the name itself because the mods chose it before I was even in it, you know? I don't know what's going on there, but I can defend the parallels and that they have not been mirrored to actual events... even in a way I would consider as remotely close. I do understand your point and various others and I do thank you for approaching it maturely, but I can only speak from what I know as a player in the game. That's fine, I totally understand that. And as I said in other comments, I don't think anyone could fault the game for going with parallels that exist in the game. It isn't the parallels people have a problem with, it's the fact that the name of the game takes it further than parallels and links it tangibly to real life horrors. |
