From last year: Kynn's review of "Apelord"   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #425 of 430 |
Hi everyone,

Last year I reviewed a 3rd party D&D 4e product called "Races of the Shroud:
The Apelord." I was kind of bothered by the racial coding and said so in my
review, but I found I got dismissed a lot. With the recent controversy over
the NY Post's chimp cartoon -- and heightened awareness of the way in which
Africans and African Americans have been portrayed as monkeys -- I'm
wondering if I was on to something after all.

Here's the original post; what do you think?

Reading your article now. I agree that they stepped in something. Its one of those things, that, like blackface, is nearly impossible to step in without...
