Real-world sensitivities and game names

You'll notice that there seems to be a hard limit on the DoB for names of prominent people given by HoneyBadger above, too.

As MaxWilson says, this is a valid topic. Shrapnel and some mods are interested in people's views concerning this. We just aren't interested in people making it personal against one another. Most understand that when it comes to religion and politics, it's difficult, at times, to control tempers...even so, we ask that posters please do so.

Perhaps so Ich, but not long ago there was an black American athlete named Hitler. I alternate goggling and giggling over that guy.

I've been amazed and pleased that there has never been a peep about this that i have seen. My guess is that the only people who play fantasy wargames are wargamers and fantasy fans and as such they have gotten over it long ago. Nearly all fantasy fiction draws on stereotypes and plays with supernatural concepts. All wargames per force involve playing at committing vile atrocities. Both escape reasonable moral censure because they are make believe. Beyond that, in an era where GTA is ok Dominions doesn't even rate a raised eyebrow IMO.
