''In the Living Greyhawk RPG, the "River of Blood" event featured bumbling villains who were kidnapping children in order to perform "Raxivort's Orgy" which was described as a wild party in celebration of their god. Individual judges across the country re-interpreted the party as a sexual orgy involving the rape of the kidnapped children. Even though it was not the author's original intention, the more offensive version was so prevalent that Wizards Of The Coast issued an apology and re-edited the event.'

isn't this just Unfortunate Implications and Accidental Innuendo. how is it Writer On Board?

Removed this entry because it is a very shallow reading of the books (Skimming the dust jacket-level) and combines multiple books into one. Potentially a valid example, but requires extensive reworking.

• Common in Tom Clancy novels, which are naturally packed to the gills with Straw Liberals. Potentially his most Anvilicious work is Executive Orders: Jack Ryan, using his everyman common sense and American spirit, solves the Arab Israeli Conflict in about a week and takes time out from a major terrorist attack to completely reform the US Tax Code.
  • Clancy's true soapbox moments are reserved for the military - where almost all military-types who are in the field are good soldiers, and as for the rest... He even has a line in Executive Orders where one admiral (a former Naval aviator who's also fought actual terrorists - he's Ryan's best friend) says to the new Secretary of Defense (in regards to the Pentagon): "There are two types of soldiers - operators and bureaucrats. Operators try very hard to stay out of this building." Message - REAL military men are out fighting, anyone in uniform who isn't somehow directly connected towards helping the fight is bad, and once you have to 'take the baton and lead', you have to work very hard to remember when you were 'a good soldier, with mud on your boots'.
  • In the prologue of one of Clancy's novels, an unnamed and unimportant terrorist who is about to blow himself up takes a solid 5 pages to silently debate himself on the merits of feminism and abortion (Ultimately coming to the conclusion that women wearing pants are A-OK, but they still shouldn't leave the kitchen). Had it been done with any kind of skill, you could call it characterization; given who the author is, it's a clear case of Writer on Board.
  • And let us not forget the Rainbow Six case, where the villains are an Animal Wrongs Group Turned Up To Eleven, who interupt their plan to wipe out most of the human race to prevent more polution with conversations to admit that hunting and eating meat are perfectly natural. So if you disaprove of it, remember, you are a worse nature-freak than an Omnicidal Maniac.
