As much as people criticize political correctness, some things are just simply in bad taste.
And crucifying blazingglory wasn't? I thought it was in terrible bad taste. I guess you're right though, we do need to have some standards. How about no sacrificing babies to demons? Even the most violent and malicious here can agree to that. As per the school shooting, yes it's also in bad taste. From now on no cross-burning, no crucifixtion, no school-shooting, no human sacrifice, no jihad, no gender-swapping or appearance thereof (I'm talking to *you* Kevak), no yaoi, yuri, hentai or other porn, no anything that crosses the line thrice, ok? Can we all agree? Cos if not then pandemonium reigns and we just have to deal with it.
McClellan, listen to me for a sec, 'kay? While I am relatively comfortable with everything you just mentioned and more, this is my game, and I will draw lines where I will. I honestly don't give a shit about what other people think of the school shooting idea. Allowing the mass killing of children to occur in my game is something that really bothers ME, so I'm not going to allow it. Got that?
I do. I just wonder why their aren't more lines drawn.
The thing is, crucifying sort of fell out of vogue a while back. School shooting is the fashion for utter assholes. Hence why the latter is offense. Comedy is tragedy + time.
Oh so in fifty years school shooting will be funny and something done on a lark? I don't want to live in a world that can justify that. Likewise crucifixion isn't funny, it's a very cruel way to die. At least beheadings only lasts about a minute for the victim, crucifixion can take up to three hours depending on the strength of the condemned or the interest of the crowd. Do you know how you die with a crucifixion? You are suffocated by your own weight. You can survive for as long as you can push yourself upward by your feet to draw breath but then just as soon as you are utterly exhausted, you die. Unless of course, you take too long and they decide to just spear you in the side because the spectacle is taking to long for the fickle crowd. The crowds which are there to watch you fight for your life and rejoice when you lose. No, it sends a very powerful and very cruel message. Why don't we put our enemies' heads on pikes still? We ought to have moved past such cruelties, to the point where they are unthinkable. It's made even worse because it was specifically done to send a message, all such things are usually very cruel mockeries of not only the person hanging there but everyone else who has died that way. Not to mention using the cross in such a way is considered highly offensive to most ( should be all ) Christians because Jesus was executed in such a way. ( I know he wasn't the only one either, but still. )
