Really?

I mean .... really?

I mean, the sidebar articles on the site include:

Dead Souls: The Pentagon Plan to Create Remorseless War Fighters

and

Pentagon, Big Pharma: Drug Troops to Numb Them to Horrors of War



/facepalm


Parenting = bad children

Toy solders = toy fucking soldiers

Another liberal hippy (and I'm liberal, but not THAT kind of liberal) idiot blaming everything but good old fashioned reality on what's wrong with America, or America's children, or .... gummy bears or something.

It was really funny.
My friend who just started into the hobby sent it to me via email

Subject: "What did you get me into?"

I KNEW there was a reason I didn't like playing marines! It was my empathy for the poor poor children that swayed me!!!

Space Marines may not create bad kids ...BUT they apparently makes them allergic to deodorant! True Statement!!

Ryan,
Women = time = Money= The root of EVIL!
One can therefore summarize that ..Women are the DEVIL

D&D merely a fantasy world for poor souls that want play with the devil but lack the know how :D

The power of good ol' fashion hate mail.

"A new page is currently under construction to address this topic. Warhammer will not be the total focus of the new page, but it will be included in a prominent way.

We expect it to be ten times more fun when we are bombarded with hate mail from all new offended hobbyists, but then, that might not happen. We'll let you know if other hobbyists are rude and cranky or if it's Warhammer hobbyists in particular.

The subject addressed here may not seem to you to be valid or accurate, but there's nothing wrong with broaching it. War games are not sacred things that must never be questioned. If they were sacred they wouldn't be "just hobbies". Anything with violence in it, even a hobby, should be looked at. If there's nothing there to see, then that should be self evident. If there is something there to look at, then it should be looked at. Adults aren't very likely to be affected one way or the other in terms of violent imagery and themes in gaming, but kids definitely are. That is and still will be the point of the page.

The new page will come at this subject with gamers in mind. But this subject will be addressed. It's too important.

The new page is only just started and will take a while to complete, at least a month. When it's finished we hope it will not seem as offensive to gamers as the first page, but understand, the subject will still be violence, not every aspect of hobbies or gaming, so there won't be a list of the top ten great things about the game. That is not the subject or purpose of the page. That's not unfair, that is the subject. Gaming information is readily available on the internet and is not in short supply. It will not be included on this page.

It was never our intention to upset anyone, we don't want it to happen again, but no doubt some will still not be happy. Some don't want this subject looked at, at all. That is something we can't fix. We're looking at it.

If you're interested, check back in a month.
