"Not actually being racist" doesn't disqualify something from having Unfortunate Implications; if anything, it makes it count even more because that proves that the implications really are unfortunate, as opposed to intentional.

Pretyy sure a twitter link like that one had isnt allowed though as a citation.

The kotaku article does raise important issues, so please restore that entry.

I do my best to avoid Crit Role and I saw the complaints and articles about that one. Put it back.

So, the original post was on the main UI page. Add it back there, add it to the CR Campaign 3 page instead, or both?

Shouldn't it be on both?

Thank you for pointing out a secondary source. Was not aware there was one.

The article is very interesting, and does raise valid points from a diversity and equity viewpoint. But it overlooks the Critical Role Foundation, which uses profits from merchandise sales and donations to specific projects for the improvement of educational institutions in countries which need them.

I understand the point the author was making, and can see the controversy the 3rd season opener sparked (I didn't understand the 20th century outfits, either). But to mention the cast's wealth without also mentioning their charitable works isn't balanced.

^None of that is relevant to what counts or doesn't count as Unfortunate Implications, and as it is not relevant, mentioning it under the same entry would only be nattering or perhaps a justifying edit.

The bit about their charity work is completely unrelated to whether or not one of their works comes across racist. If someone steps on my foot and I complain, and a third party insists that I also mention the time they bought me lunch for "balance", I would be very annoyed.

An Unfortunate Implications entry isn't a place to judge someone's heart against a feather.

Maybe we should lock this thread and put the popcorn down. The responses are getting way off tangent and apparently this work is getting people super defensive.

Huh? Who's getting "defensive"? Mostly it's people just discussing the example's quality.
