Mouza, I don't think that there's any need to feel bad about your post. I was just using it to illustrate my point that outside the Victonia sub-forum, some of the political positions may not been seen as amusing.

In Victonia, the "Irish" are being used as an archetype for immigrant threats. This is just because of the fictional location of Victonia - it could have easily been the Manx, or the Scots - and one of our most celebrated anti-racist Irish members is a spokesman for the most anti-immigrant party. This is both amusing and educational, as designed.

But outside the Backroom, someone unfamiliar with the game may remember times when racism directed at people of Irish descent was a very real experience, and wonder why the Org condones such views. This would apply to many of the views expressed as part of the game, but not held in real life.

That's why I believe politics and Victonia should stay firmly in context, in the Backroom.

Nothing to make a fuss about. When concerns, or potential concerns arise, fun ends. You I can't play a game feeling having to check and sniff around. The Victonia case is closed for me.
