The fact that some of you are tormented over the killing of monsters - juvenile or no - to the point where you think the option ought to be outright removed indicates to me how insanely inane society has become. Even escapism has become corrupted by an odious level of political influence.
Nonsense, escapism has always been policed by society.
Ah, the "x always has been" so-and-so. That old chestnut.
Hard disagree: never before has this "Monsters are analogs for real-world ethnic minorities." sentiment been quite so strong and quite so vociferously policed (particularly by people who aren't even engaged in the hobby). Never before have people spent untold numbers of hours trying to justify why a monster is a monster instead of just getting on with the game.
